Basically, all the fair sex from early childhood know how to weave braids on hair of different lengths. At school, in almost every class, there is certainly a girl who does it better than others. And at recess, a huge line of people who want to decorate themselves with a new hairstyle line up for her.

If the reader of this article has no idea how to braid braids, it doesn't matter! After all, further detailed instructions for beginners will be presented on how to weavepigtails for children and adults.
If you want to braid someone:
- It is very difficult for beginners to make a braid on their own, so you should first practice on a doll, younger sister or your own child. And already becoming a professional in this matter, experiment on your beloved.
- First of all, you need to carefully comb the model's hair so that the pigtails do not turn out "roosters".
- Then divide them into three parts.
- In the left and right hands, take one side strand. Leave the middle one free.
- Now we go directly to the weaving of the braid. The strand in the right hand must be thrown over the top and placed between the left and middle.
- Holding the beginning of the braid with your thumb, also move the left strand between the middle and right through the top.
- Then right again - between left and middle.
- And again left - between right and middle.
- So continue until a small brush remains at the end of the pigtail. Then secure your hair with an elastic band. And, if necessary, smooth out the broken strands.
This type of braid is called simple.
How to braid your own hair
At the beginning of learning to weave a beautiful braid on your own hair, you need two mirrors: a large one and a small one. They should be placed opposite each other in such a way that in a larger mirror you can see the reflection of your back (especially the crown and neck) through a smaller one. This will greatly facilitate the weaving process, because all hand movements will be clearly visible. And if suddenlysomething goes wrong, it will be possible to consider where the mistake is.
So, if you want to braid yourself:
- The initial stage of hair preparation is similar to the instructions described above. However, when weaving a braid for someone, the left and right strands lie in the palm of their hand. When a girl braids her own hair, it is more convenient for her to hold her hair with her thumbs, and just hold it with the rest.
- The right strand is also thrown over the top and placed between the left and middle.
- Holding the beginning of the braid with the middle finger, also move the left strand between the middle and right through the top.
- Then right again - between left and middle.
- And again left - between right and middle.
- Fix the finished braid with an elastic band.
