Consider an option for making a three-strand braid with a ribbon braided from the tail.

• First you need to prepare a tape of the desired width. Its length should be almost twice the length of the hair itself. The ribbon is folded in half and a small bow is tied at the fold.
• Hair should be tied up in a tight ponytail, combed in such a way that there are no “cocks” on the head.
• Tie a textile bow to the tail, carefully straightening its elements.
• Then divide the curls into three waves and start braiding, leaving the first row without a ribbon.
• On the second row, you need to stretch the tape between the strands, grabbing and weaving it on each row. It turns out such a pattern of weaving the ribbon: between the left and middle strand - up, then back down - between the middle and right.
