1. the hair is carefully combed, moistened with water or smeared with mousse;
2. curls are divided into five identical parts;
3. the extreme strand on the left is placed on the second bundle of hair, the central strand is thrown over the first part;

5. the second bundle must be thrown onto the middle part and covered with the fifth curl;
6. then you should perform the same actions on the left side, then on the right, and so perform similar manipulations along the entire length;

8. the work is completed by lightly pulling the hair out of the extreme bundles in order to give the braid fluffiness.

Instructions for weaving a French braid:

1. first, a piece of hair is separated at the crown of the head, the initial classic three-strand weave is made: the left part is applied to the central bundle, then the right strand is thrown over the middle curl;
2. once again, a strand of free hair is picked up on the left, placed under the second strand, then under the central bundle;
3. then the same actions are performed on the right side;
4. thus, a braid is woven: hair strands are applied not on top of other bunches, but from below, while new strands are added from the free mass of hair;
5. at the end of the free hair, the braid is braided in the classical way. Then it should be fluffed up.

You can braid a five-strand braid with a ribbon:

1. first, a bun of hair is raised at the very top of the head and a ribbon is tied to it, leaving only one long end;
2. the hair should be divided into 4 parts, and the tape located in the second position from the left will perform the function of the fifth strand;
3. actions begin on the right: the fifth bundle is placed under the fourth part, which, in turn, should be under the central tuft, and the tape must be thrown on top;
4. then the left strand is placed under the fifth bundle, the tape must be pulled from the bottom of the curl so that it is again in the second position on the left;
5. then similar actions are repeated on the right, while free strands of hair are picked up;
6. after shifting the extreme left bundle, free hair is added;
7. at the end of all the remaining arbitrary strands, the braid is completely braided, tied and straightened.

A similar braid with two ribbons is most often woven right in the ponytail. During the weaving process, care must be taken so that the tape does not twist. It should be no more than one and a half centimeters wide, otherwise weaving will be difficult. It is advisable to choose an attribute of a contrasting color, then the hairstyle will resemble a checkerboard.

The main stages of checkerboard weaving:

1. first, the hair is tied into a ponytail with a ribbon, leaving its ends the same length;
2. the bundle of hair is divided into three uniform parts, while the ends of the tape will be in the third and fourth positions from left to right;
3. a second curl is placed under the first left part, from below and on top of which it will be along the tape;
4. the fifth strand is brought under the first part, which is next to it, ribbons are cross-superimposed above and below;
5. then all actions are repeated, first on the left, and then on the right until the very end of the entire length of the hair.

You can create an original hairstyle with two ribbons without using a tail. In this case, the tape bent in half is invisibly attached to the side of the head. Curls are divided into 3 parts. The right strand of hair is carried out under the adjacent bun, applied on top of the third lobe, dragged under the tape numbered with the number "4". Then put on top of another tape. Then weaving begins in a checkerboard pattern.

A five-strand braid is suitable for women of all ages, goes well with any type of face. The only prerequisite for a chic hairstyle is long hair.

Exists an original version of a braid of five strands with two thin pigtails inside. Such a creation looks like an openwork braid. Weaving is done in the same way as with a ribbon.The hair on the head is divided into five equal parts. The third and fourth bundles are turned into ordinary three-strand pigtails, the ends of which are fixed with elastic bands. The main braid is woven according to the above scheme, but instead of a ribbon in the middle of the hairstyle, thin braids will be crossed. Small elastic bands are removed from the braids at the end of the weaving. A common hair clip fixes the hairstyle.

Looks very nice and unusual braid braided to the side. To do this, five equal curls must be mentally numbered. The first part is carried out under the second bundle and stretched over the third strand. Then similar actions are performed from the other side: the fourth part is dragged under the heel, the third part is placed on top. After the first circle, all the curls should be numbered again. Actions are again performed according to the same scheme. When all the hair is braided, you need to fix the end with an elastic band.

Looks elegant braid braided diagonally. When such a pigtail is placed along the head, a spectacular and beautiful hairstyle is obtained. The "basket" fixed with varnish looks voluminous and very elegant. Pearls, rhinestones and flowers will successfully decorate your hair for a festive event. Glitter polish adds shine and elegance to the braid.

Without outside help, it is most convenient to make yourself a similar hairstyle from the tail to one side.

Consider a few recommendations, which will help you to quickly master weaving techniques.

• A quick five-strand braid is achieved through persistent training. You need to learn to weave on someone's head. It is advisable to start learning by mastering the French weaving technique. Then the rest of the methods will give in very quickly. When your hands begin to move confidently, you can easily do this hairstyle for yourself.
• Do not continue braiding tangled hair. It is best to gently untangle the strands with a comb, rather than try to tear them. It is necessary to lightly shake the entangled strand and gently brush over it.
• If the hair is cut with a ladder, then the braid must be weaved from the tail.
• Tight braiding is not recommended. It is not in trend now. The finished braid must be slightly ruffled so that it resembles an openwork fabric. This hairstyle looks magnificent, airy and luxurious.
• You can braid two braids or even several, decorating them with decorative elements. Bright multi-colored ribbons give a special charm to the hairstyle. The color is often chosen to go well with clothing or accessories. A tape that is too wide or too stiff will not work. In extreme cases, it can be replaced with a soft scarf. Two five-strand braids look great with a stylish headband too.
