The braids that the apparatus is capable of braiding are notable for evenness. Every woman knows how difficult it is to weave pigtails for herself. During an independent process, it is almost impossible to control the tension of the strands, and if one of the strands is too tight, the entire braid will turn out to be uneven or twisted.Protruding hairs are also commonplace for ladies who prefer to braid their braids by hand. A special device allows you to get rid of these troubles.
The cost of the device is low, however, it is not recommended to take the cheapest options, as they quickly fail.

Principle of operation
The tool works very simply even without reading the instructions first. Only two buttons are needed to control. The mechanism of work consists in weaving the strands into a neat braid. The strands are placed in special "fingers", after which the button is pushed up, and each strand is twisted into a flagellum. By pressing the button down, the flagella are twisted together in the manner of a traditional braid. Then the hairstyle is fastened with a clip and released from the device.
Thanks to such a device, two, three or four strands can be placed in the clamps, and therefore it is possible to weave any types of braids, including rather complex options. Although, of course, the device will not cope with multilevel weaving.

The disadvantages of the device lie in the incomplete ease of use. The fact is that it is very difficult to use the device on the back of the head, and usually you have to resort to the help of another person. Another disadvantage of the machine is the likelihood of hair injury. Hair can be knocked out of strands, and then, due to the high speed of rotation, stray into tangles. Tangled hair can be difficult to comb through.

The disadvantages of the device are observed in the first minutes of use. The first pigtail in women turns out to be uneven, the hair is tangled, the strands are pulled together, and painful sensations arise. However, as consumers note, this is due to inexperience. For a couple of braids it will be possible to "fill your hand".
