Preparation for weaving
To braid a braid yourself, you need to carefully consider the preparation process. If the hair is obedient, and all the necessary tools are near, then the hairstyle will turn out to be neat, while its creation does not require much effort and time.
Braiding always assumes clean, dry hair.
When washing, you need to use a small amount of balm - this will make your hair softer. Also, they will be less tangled, which is important for creating a hairstyle from braids.

Preparing hair for braiding.
- Wet hair should be lubricated with a small amount of styling product - foam or mousse. Using a hair dryer, dry your hair to the end. These manipulations will help create a braid that will not fray. Obedient hair is easier to comb, divide into strands and style in a braid.
- If the curls are curly, but you need to get strict elegance, then you should start the preparation with straightening with an iron.
- To create a romantic look, you need to leave the hair in a slightly disheveled form. Light and airy hairstyles make the image softer, and its owner - younger.

Advice
- If using hairspray or foam, apply a small amount to prevent the hair from looking sticky.
The varnish should be sprayed from a distance.
- Follow the direction of the braid and the level of the weave so that the line is straight.
- When you stretch the weave to create a volumetric effect, you should not pull the whole strand, but you need to take part of the strand with two fingers from the bottom at the base of the semicircle and pull it to the side.
- Do not use heavy jewelry that can disrupt your hairstyle.
- Smile at your reflection and have fun wearing your hair.
