Braiding options for girls with short hair

The disadvantage of short hair, many women consider the inability to diversify the hairstyle by braiding. They do not suspect that there are many options for making braids and even voluminous braids on strands of short length. Once you have mastered a few simple techniques, you can start with a new look every day.

Braids on short hair look one way or another depending on how short the girls' hairstyles are. You can braid small braids, or more voluminous if the length of the hair allows.

Decorate braids as follows:

• in the form of a spikelet (French braid);
• "Waterfall";
• bezel (or crown);
• harnesses;
• weaving type "fish tail".

Asymmetrical short haircuts allow you to make a braid on only one side of the head, hairstyles such as a short bob make it possible to make two or more braids.

On braids, women with short hair try to emphasize the texture and volume of the hair. All types of weaving allow you to do this.

Beginners can learn simple techniques such as making a spikelet. When your hands remember the procedure, you can move on to creating an unusual design for a short haircut using braids.

Hairstyles with braids for short hair, like others, must correspond to their purpose. Some are for everyday wear, others are more suitable for the evening, as well as for a holiday.

At the same time, colored unnatural strands can radically change the appearance.

To create long braids, for example, in the African way, you can even use ordinary threads.

At the same time, the girl herself for a while forgets that she has a short haircut.

Some hairstyles with braids can be done by hand, while others require outside help.

For everyday wear, you can make two braids in the form of spikelets. This method is good in that short strands are well fixed when braiding in braids.

Doing this hairstyle yourself is not difficult at all.

Divide the hair into two parts with a vertical parting. Select three strands, make the first two perekid, as in a regular braid, and then weave all the hair in a row in a spikelet. Secure with an elastic band. Do the same with the other half of the hair.

Braids can be closer to the center parting or located on the sides. With very short hair, narrow rows of braids can be made this way. The hairstyle, depending on the location of the weaving, changes its appearance, and with it the image of the girl as a whole.

You can diversify your daily styling by weaving braids on bangs.

Divide the selected strand into three parts and throw them over, as for a regular braid. Now you need to attach the hair from the mass selected for weaving to the strand, which is located farther from the face. Bring the braid to the ear, fix with an elastic band. (You can use silicone, which is practically invisible on the hair). To prevent the braid from hanging, it is attached to the bulk of the hair invisibly.

It is not difficult to braid short hair with flagella. This hairstyle will look elegant. Suitable even for a mature woman.

A step-by-step weaving pattern looks like this:

• just above the temple, select two strands of the same thickness;
• twist one clockwise, the other counterclockwise, then twist tightly together;
• weave further, adding strands to the plait on both sides in the manner of a spikelet and continuing to interweave the two main strands;

• fix the weaving in the middle of the head from behind;
• make another tourniquet on the opposite side of the head in the same way;
• connect both pigtails, and adjust the ends so that they do not stick out;
• if the length of the hair allows, form a bun by including curled hair.

Braids can be braided with a crown around the head if the length of the hair is sufficient for this. It is necessary to divide the entire mass of hair into two parts with a horizontal parting. Weave the front part with an inverted French braid (this method of weaving is also called Dutch).

The strands are wound under the center strand from the bottom, rather than stacked up, as in a normal braid. Weaving is done from ear to ear. The braid is secured with an elastic band. Another braid is made in the same way - through the back of the head. Both of them are connected, the ends of the hair are hidden and fixed with hairpins.

With their help, they create a textured braid or several on different parts of the head if the hair length is minimal. The weaving principle is simple.

Separate a small strand and collect it in a ponytail, direct it forward. Immediately behind it, collect a strand of the same thickness in another tail.

Spread the strands of the first to the sides, and throw the second tail forward through the formed path, hooking it with a clamp so that it does not return to its original position. Bring the strands of the first tail back. For the third ponytail, select the strands again and connect them into a ponytail along with the two parts of the first.

Then split the third tail in two, and throw the second tail back through the resulting "passage". Do this and connect the ponytails as long as the length of the hair allows. At the end, secure with an elastic band and complete the hairstyle.

If there is absolutely no time to create a hairstyle, and the hair allows you to weave a pigtail from the temple to the middle of the nape, it is convenient to make two "ribbons" from thin strands and connect them with an elastic band. It turns out a comfortable hairstyle, thanks to which the head of hair will not get into the eyes during the day.

Evening hairstyles are not so different in complexity of execution from everyday ones. Their creation has to pay a little more attention, focusing on details. Thanks to this, the styling is perceived as more elegant.

Even if the hair barely overcomes a length of 10 centimeters, you can make original evening hairstyles with a fishtail braid on them. The scythe can be positioned as you like:

• around the circumference;
• vertically or horizontally;
• diagonally;
• zigzag.

You need to choose two fairly voluminous strands of the same thickness in the part of the head where weaving will begin. Let's call them 1 and 2. A thin strand is selected from the free mass of hair from side 1 and transferred to the selected part of hair 2. Then the same thin strand is selected from the mass of hair from the side of part 2 and connected to 1.

In this way, the weaving is brought to the right place. The ends of the hair are fixed with an elastic band and hidden under the remaining ones or they are formed into a shape resembling a flower, pinned with hairpins or other retainers, depending on the characteristics of the haircut and hair.

To make the hairstyle delicate, you can pull them out of the braid with your fingers or the handle of a ponytail comb.

With braids for short hair, if the haircut is not entirely boyish, you can style your hair like a waterfall.

First, you should comb them thoroughly. Make curls on them with a curling iron, iron or a round comb (diffuser). Thanks to this, the "waterfall" will be more effective.

At the temple, select a thin strand and divide it into three parts of the same thickness.

Start braiding like a regular three-strand braid. At the desired distance, start creating the waterfall shape. Throw the top strand down and leave it hanging free. Instead, highlight the other of the hair in the loose mass below the braid and braid. In this way, bring the weaving to the other temple through the back of the head, and fix the braid from the side.

You can weave a "waterfall" only to the middle, securing the hair with an elastic band and pinning to the bulk of the hair with a small hair clip. And also a good option is to weave two braids with released strands towards each other.

Hair that does not reach the middle length, it is quite possible to decorate with braids like "chains". It turns out also smartly. It is necessary to select two strands at the temple and tie a loose knot from them. Next, include additional strands in weaving, like in a spikelet, bringing the braid to the right place. At the end, style the hair beautifully and fix it with an elastic band, invisible hairpins or hairpins.

An evening hairstyle automatically turns into a festive one with all kinds of accessories. This could be:

• diadem;
• bright hairpin rich in texture;
• hairpins with decorations in the form of stones, flowers, and so on;
• bridal veil;
• wreath;
• elegant bezel;
• ribbons and bows.

And also festive hairstyles are decorated with sequins, chignons are used to add volume to the hairstyle.

You can braid your hair in any of the above ways, strengthen it with hairpins with designer jewelry - and a festive hairstyle is ready for any occasion.

To make styling with braids beautiful and pleasing with its appearance, you need to follow simple rules for working with hair:

• no need to try to weave braids on the hair of not the first freshness - they will not receive the proper volume and will not look very attractive;
• before braiding, it is better to give the hair additional volume by curling with an iron, and in some cases thanks to a light comb;
• curly hair, before starting to create a hairstyle, it is better to treat it with a spray or mousse, and if there are no such funds, at least walk over them with a comb with wet teeth;
• when weaving, there is no point in pulling the hair - the hairstyle will look worse, and the hair and skin on the head will suffer;

• during weaving, it is imperative to observe symmetry when new strands are included in the braids;
• if braiding occurs on short hair, clips should be used to keep the hair in the desired position until the end of the work;
• the created hairstyle must be strengthened with a strong fixation varnish, which avoids the appearance of protruding ends of short strands;
• it should be borne in mind that the various decorations used for the hair visually make the braids more voluminous.

The fishtail braid makes the short-haired girl look softer. It is enough to use such weaving on the forehead in the area of ​​the bangs. Such a small touch will significantly transform the image.

With a fishtail haircut, you can decorate the head in the parietal zone. The braid looks textured. Hair does not knock out from under it and does not get tangled.

Short strands, decorated with a thin French braid, luxuriantly raised and laid all over the head, can give the image strength and independence. For girls with character, these hairstyles are just right.

Afro-braids look impressive on short haircuts. These braids allow you to "write out" bizarre figures on the head, attracting everyone's attention to the laid hair.

The "waterfall" of slightly curled and dyed hair looks especially elegant, emphasizing the volume even on hair that is not too thick.

Two spikelets radically change the image of a short-haired girl. For a while, she may feel like she has long strands. Putting on an evening dress, you can even feel like a real princess with a short haircut.

Regular braids from the temples to the back of the head in combination with "tousled" strands of short hair "play" to create a boho style. The owner of this hairstyle looks feminine and touching.

Strands on the parietal part of the head, just a few times interlaced in the form of a braid, are able to change the usual hairstyle and make you feel renewed. Such beauty is created with light movements for a couple of minutes.

With the help of a rim and strands over the forehead, tucked into a braid, an original composition of one's own hair is brought to life. In this way, a regular haircut can be turned into a pretty evening hairstyle.

Several rows of braids, ending in small tufts, give the impression of neatly tucked long hair. At the same time, to create a hairstyle, it is not at all necessary to acquire a luxurious head of hair below the shoulders.

A "wreath" of "fishtail", decorated with flowers, is able to transform any hairstyle, including on short hair. A girl with such styling will look natural and easy, even if the hair color is far from natural.
