Before weaving, you need to decide on the tool. So, you can use a regular comb for work, but a hairdressing option with a sharphandle will make the process much easier. If your hair belongs to the category of fluffy and naughty, do not forget to slightly wet it before starting.
Algorithm of actions:
- On combed hair, separate the top strand and divide into 3 equal parts.
- Next, we start weaving a standard braid.
- After several weaves, start adding small curls to the strands in turn from the sides.
- After all the strands are neatly gathered into a single braid, weaving continues according to the standard pattern.
- The end is fixed with an elastic band, hairpin or ribbon.
The final result cannot but please.

Secrets of beautiful hair to create the perfect hairstyle
Braids are braided on clean hair, and for this they must be washed thoroughly, but do not overdo it. A large amount of shampoo greatly dries our curls, thereby making them brittle and dull. To avoid the negative effect of detergents on the beauty of your hair, dilute a teaspoon of shampoo in a glass of water before washing.
Be sure to rinse your hair: first with warm water, then cool water to close the scales and make them smooth.
Dry only in a gentle mode, otherwise following the two previous tips is pointless. It is also not recommended to rub and even more so twist the curls with a towel.
Do not brush wet hair. If their length is more than 15 cm, then you need to start from the ends, gradually moving towards the roots.
No matter how strong the desire to braid, wait until the strands are completely dry. If the hair is frizzy during the weaving process, then literally use a drop of cosmetic oil. Rub it between your palmsand apply along the length. An alternative would be to use a moisturizing hand cream. Do not worry, the hair will not become greasy, but will only take on the desired shape.
Following these tips, you can safely experiment with different weaves and create neat hairstyles.
