The algorithm repeats until the braiding reaches the ear.
Further, the scythe can go in two directions. Or curls are added to it from below, and the finished weaving thereby descends along the neck and closes the ear. Or the hairstyle thickens at the expense of the upper strands, forming a rim extending from the ear.

The rightmost strand must be divided into three parts and transformed into a regular three-row braid.
They do the same with the leftmost curl - they are braided in a classic way. The curl that was in the middle is important to comb, guiding hair growth. Then the right braid is attached with a hair clip on the left directly over the released curl, and the left braid is attached to the right, forming a hoop.

For example, in the first case it can be a braid made of four strands. It is worth mentioning that thicker hair allows for fuller hairstyles. The creation of the image in stages begins with the fact that the hair is impregnated with a special texturizing agent and combed back. Dividing the mop into four identical strands, you can start weaving.
The first curl on the right goes under the second, after which the third curl is placed on top of the second. The fourth part goes under the first, then the second is above the first, and the third is above the second. A four-strand braid is braided until the desired length is reached.
It is important to mention that the hairstyle should not be too tight - the free version will look much more interesting.

A common festive hairstyle is waterfall. Its characteristic feature lies in the fact that the weaving takes place obliquely, and the relaxed curls do not tighten too much. The braid starts from a low side parting, thickening due to the hair taken from the top section. The bottom hair should remain loose, and for a more elegant look, it should be curled.
By the way, the simplest option for an output hairstyle is a braid twisted around the base. Having created a high ponytail, it should be braided, and then secured in a bun and decorated with decorative hairpins.

Beautiful examples
It will turn out to add originality and unpredictability to the hairstyle if, at one of the stages of weaving, the curls used are supplemented with a bright braid or ribbon. For boho style, it is worth choosing fabric ribbons decorated with ethnic beads.
By the way, any image can be made more businesslike if the already woven braids are wrapped in a bun. When creating any weaving in the “rim behind the head” format, you can experiment, and instead of hiding and fixing the ends with invisible ones, transform them into a small flower - a rose.

The combination of several types of weaving is considered relevant. For example, you can make two tiers of flagella attached to the back of the head, and braid some of the remaining hair with a fishtail. This hairstyle looks good on hair of both medium and large length. Risky natures are advised to create an unusual weaving only on one side of the head, separated by a clear parting, and leave the rest loose. Lovers of loose hair will love the hairstyle with two thin braids on the sides, going along the temples. The very same mop is better to curl slightly.
