The history of the French braid

The first information about this method of braiding hair was known about 6 years ago in the southeast of the world, in Algeria. Girls decorated their hair in a similar way.
Slightly later, rock paintings with a similar weaving technique were found in Ancient Greece.

Scientists believe that the scythe appeared long before our era.

Step by step instructions for weaving
All steps to braid a French braid can be divided into several parts. The result is a great reverse French braid and step-by-step braiding instructions!
1. Hair cleansing and styling. First, rinse your hair well under warm water and comb through after drying. The main thing is that as we weave, they are smooth and without tangles that are unpleasant for the master or you. Next, use varnish, mousse to add shine to the braid.
After you need to figure out which side you want to weave the braid and where it is better to finish it. It can be located behind or go in the center of the head, just above the forehead.
If you want to braid the back, then take 1 wide strand above the forehead and divide it into 3 equal parts, as with a regular braid. If you have decidedweave on the other side, then take the voluminous strand in the selected place.
2. Take the hair in both hands so that you can braid it tightly later. Hold 1 strand in your right hand, put the remaining 2 in your left. Weaving should be on the same principle as weaving a regular braid. Take the strand from the right hand and bring it under the middle one, then add the section from the left hand to the resulting opening. The middle strand will go to the right hand, and weaving can be successfully continued.
3. Do not forget to check the tightness of the weave. After the last strand from the left hand has entered under the right, pull up the hair.
4. Don't know how to do a French braid in reverse because it looks like a regular braid? Time to stop and change the location of the strands. Take one strand in your right hand (or, as you weave, it should be in your hand) and pick it up with your left, stretching it through the middle formed. In fact, you will also weave a regular braid, but it will pass from below. The strands look the opposite!
5. Now gradually, as you weave, add strands to the braid on the left and right sides of the head. It is worth adding them in certain sections, which can be calculated visually.
It is worth noting that the hair must be added before the strand got into the weave. First, use your hand to "pluck off" the curl and continue weaving with it. The same is done with the left hand. The middle strand remains empty.
6. The final step will be to give additional volume. Gently fluff out the braided sections, but don't overdo it. Pull outcarefully, holding the loops from the curls of the braid with your left hand, otherwise the braid will simply fall apart. Hairstyle can be fixed with hairpins, "crab".

2. Try not to bring the braid to the middle as you weave and weave along the edges.
3. The principle, weaving technique is exactly the same. Take one curl from your right hand, hold it with your left under the middle, substitute the rest into the resulting opening. As you weave, add the remaining strands to the hairstyle by level.
