How to weave a back braid?

Since the days of Ancient Russia, the braid has been considered a symbol of the feminine principle. The longer the braid was, the more attractive the girl was. Today, a rarity - long, thick and healthy hair, braided in a lush braid. But since that time, an incredible variety of options have appeared. One commonly used by hairdressing stylists is the reverse (or French) braid. It looks so impressive that many people mistakenly believe that it is difficult to weave. Although this is a fundamentally incorrect assumption, since everyone who knows how to weave a simple braid is able to master this weaving technique.

Learning to weave a twisted braid is not difficult at all if step-by-step instructions are taken into account.

Weaving a back braid (or French braid) does not have a complicated technique. After practicing two or three times, you can master this weaving, and subsequently it will take no more than five minutes, depending on the length of the hair, of course.

For weaving, you will definitely need to acquire:

• massage comb without metal teeth - they will scratch the scalp, applying micro-cuts, it is recommended to give preference to combs made of natural bristles;
• spray bottle with water;
• an elastic band - contrasting or matching the hair color for lovers of minimalism;
• fixing hairspray.

A twist on the pigtail will help to make a detailed diagram. For the first time, it is recommended to strictly adhere to each step of the technique of weaving the French braid inside out.

• First of all, it is advisable to thoroughly comb your hair, not forgetting to massage your head.Few people know, but wearing a braid for a long time (for example, during the entire work or school day) provokes fatigue and heaviness of the head. This is especially pronounced towards the end of the evening, when you want to quickly unravel your hair and massage your head. A light massage in the morning or before an exercise can help reduce the feeling of a tight head.

• Next, you need to separate a small lock of hair just above the forehead. The thickness of the strand can be very different depending on your desire. The appearance of the French braid will not undergo major changes from this.
• Then we divide the strand into three identical sections. The hair is slightly sprayed with a spray bottle with water, which simplifies the process of separating each of the strands.

• Next, the weaving process itself begins. The left strand is neatly placed behind the middle one, and the right strand, on the contrary, on top of it. Then the left one is placed on top of the right strand.
• In order for the back braid to last longer and look more presentable, it is recommended to tighten each cross more tightly.
• Put the hair in your right hand, thereby leaving the left free - lower it with your palm down. Turn both extreme strands up so that the left strand is in the middle.

• "Diving" under the extreme strands on the left side, you need to take a small part of the hair and put them to the middle strand. It is advisable to take strands of the same volume as the main one - this way the hairstyle looks more presentable.
• With the help of your left hand, you will need to fix the base of the pigtail - this will allow you to release both extreme strands and turn them up. Further, the weaving process is repeated. The extreme strand, but already from the right side, is shifted to the middle with a small curl taken from the entire head of hair.
• Observing the principle of crossing, the braid is braided to the required length. To create a voluminous French braid, the tip of the braid is fixed with invisibility to its base.

For loose hair, a small accent in the form of a back braid, the weaving of which begins with a bang, is perfect. This is a quick way to create a neat and attractive hairstyle for those who are growing bangs.

The process itself is much easier than classic braiding for the entire length of the hair and will take no more than two to three minutes.

For a start, it is recommended to comb your hair well to make braiding easier. Next, you need to separate the bangs. If there is none, then the strand is of the required size. Then, starting from one auricle to the other, a braid is woven in the classical way indicated earlier. The tip of the back braid on the bangs is fixed with the help of invisibility so that it does not catch the eye.

The rest of the loose hair is slightly curled with curlers or curling iron. The finishing touch will be a spray of varnish, which will keep the hairstyle all day long.

An original hairstyle that visually looks very impressive. Having given preference to the French braid outward with a bun, a woman will certainly attract admiring glances to herself.

Despite the so-called neat composure of this hairstyle, it is perfect for wearing on weekdays.

The weaving technique of this back braid, although it does not have significant differences from the classical weaving, nevertheless, at first it may take a little more time. Due to the fact that weaving is carried out from the base of the head to the crown, this can create some difficulties.

Starting from the base of the back of the head, following the classical technique, the back braid is woven to the beginning of the crown. The remaining strands are collected in a bundle, which is fixed with invisibility and hairpins. To create volume in the front, the hair is combed lightly. You can decorate the resulting hairstyle with a bright bow or an elastic band contrasting with the hair.

Surely everyone who had the pleasure of being at the wedding of a relative or close friend could observe the magnificent and intricate hairstyle of the bride. The weaving, which is complicated at first glance, visually resembles an original flower, decorated with a small shiny hairpin, shimmering from the sun's rays or spotlights. It would seem that only a professional hairdresser who has achieved unprecedented heights in his profession is capable of creating such beauty from a shock of hair.

The technique of making a French braid in the form of a flower, indeed, will require some skill, but if by the time of creating a hairstyle, the classical technique of a reverse braid has already been mastered, everything will definitely work out. Below is a step-by-step instruction for weaving a flower.

• As before, the hair is carefully combed in order not only to give a light head massage, but also to get rid of tangles. Next, you need to divide the entire head of hair with a side parting.
• In the part where there is more hair, there will be the beginning of weaving. Following the classical technique, a French braid is braided, not forgetting that in the back braid, the extreme strands are laid down.
• When weaving, it is necessary to weave strands from each side each time.

• Having finished weaving the back braid to the opposite side, it is smoothly turned in the opposite direction and braided according to the same principle.
• The learned braid is fixed with an elastic band to match the shade of the hair and wrapped in the shape of a flower. The whole structure is mounted on invisible pins and pins, previously sprayed with varnish for better fixation.

• For solemnity, it is recommended to place a bright hairpin in the center of the resulting original flower made from a French braid.
• Upon completion, the hairstyle is sprayed with a light fixing varnish.

A French braid made of five strands is perfect for owners of long and thick hair.

To do this hairstyle yourself, you will need to make a lot of effort, since your hands will be in constant tension. The help of a close friend will not be superfluous.

This will protect them from the possible occurrence of the so-called fluff, and the hair will not become electrified. In turn, this contributes to a strong grip of the strand, wet, they practically do not slip out of the hands.

The algorithm for weaving a five-strand back braid includes a number of steps.

• Having selected a small curl at the temporal part, it is necessary to divide it into five strands. Two of them, which are closer to the forehead, are taken in the left hand, and the rest - in the right hand. Depending on which side the curl was taken from, the location of the lock in the hands may vary. Thus, it turns out that in each palm there are two strands and one of them in the middle.
• In order to make it easier to master this weaving technique, we will give each strand a digital value. The strand that is closer to the face will be under the first number. Accordingly, the last one will be the fifth in a row.

• It is necessary to start weaving precisely from the fourth strand, which is thrown over the third - after which the fourth strand that is in the middle is covered by the second. For the first time, especially when weaving to another person, it is recommended to fix multi-colored threads at the base of the strand. This will help you not to get confused by correctly carrying out complex weaving.
• After that, the strand that is under the digital value 3 and when dividing the strand was in the middle, with the correct implementation of the earlier weaving, should be next to the fifth strand. Thus, the third strand goes under the fifth.

• Then, perhaps the most difficult stage occurs, since it can cause some difficulties in implementation. The same extreme strand is taken and pushed through all the others in a checkerboard pattern, not excluding the first strand. In other words, if initially it passes through the bottom of the strand, then to the next it is necessary to lead it through up. If done correctly, this strand will be closer to the forehead, taking the place of the first strand. The first row of five-strand back braids is now complete.
• Further, weaving is carried out according to the same principle, without losing sight of the fact that the strands, which previously had a digital designation, have changed their location. Re-designating the strands (starting from the forehead) from the first to the fifth digit, weaving continues to the required length. The end of the resulting original back braid is fixed with an elastic band.

This weaving technique may resemble the hairstyle that our mothers did in childhood - a basket.

Thus, you can achieve the required volume, making the hair visually thicker. This trick is often used by hairdressers, making even the thinnest and weakest curls look luxurious.

Malvinka gained popularity a couple of years ago and is still a relevant hairstyle for publication. You can modernize it by adding an accent in the form of a back braid at the back of the head. The technique for performing this hairstyle is not the simplest one, but after practicing, you get just a stunning result.

So, first you need to comb your hair back. To create a bow, you need a small shock of hair from the top of your head. The separated part must be tied into a ponytail and wrapped in a small strand, which will allow you to close the elastic. Having thrown the tail forward for a while, we proceed to weaving the pigtails.

The hair remaining on the back of the head is used to create a French braid. Following the recommendations of classic weaving, the braid is braided to the base of the ponytail.

Moving on to the ponytail. To create a neat bow, it is divided into two parts, each of which is wrapped in a so-called loop, forming a future bow. Having fixed them with the help of invisibility to the base of the tail, the tip is hidden. The same is done with the other part of the tail. Having straightened the bow, it is advisable to lightly sprinkle the resulting hairstyle with varnish.

Great proof that a French (or reverse) braid can look impressive even on medium hair lengths. Non-contrast elastic bands, which are ideally matched to the shade of the hair, do not distract from the beauty of the hairstyle. As a rule, French braids are woven for going to the beach - this allows the curls not to interfere during swimming or other outdoor activities, and at the same time look neat.

A voluminous French braid of five strands is a must for all owners of thick and long hair.

It is quite difficult to carry out this weaving technique on your own, but having mastered it, you can forget about ordinary bunches and tails forever.

A classic example of a backslash. Despite the simplicity of execution, the hairstyle looks more spectacular and prettier than a simple braid.

And by adding some bright accent in the form of a luxurious hair clip, giving a touch of playfulness and charm, you can safely go to a solemn event.
