Headband
Loose hair with a pigtail edging is a hairstyle that will never go out of style. With this styling, you will look impressive both in your favorite jeans and in an elegant dress. How to braid:
- Comb your hair well, separate one curl above the ear. It is better to collect the rest of the head of hair in a bun and secure with an elastic band or a hairpin so that it does not interfere.
- It is better to braid the selected strand using the "French" method. To do this, divide the curl into three identical parts and create a braid with the addition of strands from the main shock of hair. At the same time, you should not try to interlace the strands too tightly, because the “light” braid will look more voluminous.
- We fix the resulting hairstyle with an invisible or comfortable elastic band.
If desired, such styling can be decorated with beautiful hairpins with beads or pearls or a spectacular bow.
Simple headband, or Greek weaving
To create such a styling will require a minimum of effort and time, and in return you will get a fashionableboho hairstyle. To do this, separate a curl behind each ear and weave two simple spikelets. After that, wrap the pigtails around the head in the form of a rim and secure them with invisible hair, hiding the ends behind the main body of hair.
Imitation of a shaved temple
This styling is wildly popular with Hollywood stars. Loose hair with a pigtail on the side allows you to create a fashionable hairstyle without drastic changes. After all, a shaved temple will grow back for a long time. And the fashion for such styling can pass very quickly. How to do your hair:

- Take a small curl from one side and divide it into three parts.
- Start the process of weaving, and for this, direct the upper strand to the center, then transfer the lower part there.
- The next curl, which should be woven into the braid, must be left, and instead of it, separate a new strand from above and insert it into the pigtail.
- Thus should be done to the middle of the head. In order not to lose the endings, you can continue weaving in the usual way. The principle of creating a "waterfall" is that the upper curls are woven with the capture of new strands, and the lower ones remain free.
- Start braiding on the other side.
- As soon as you reach the middle of the head, fasten the two braids together with invisibility. If you want to hide the connection, then decorate your hair with a flower or bow hairpin.
