2-strand braid is a convenient solution for long hair, relevant in the lack of time to build a complex hairstyle. With such a styling, your head will look neat, besides, special tools and hairdressing skills are not required for work. In this article, we will show that every owner of long hair can perform such weaving.
For lack of special styling products on hand, you can dissolve a little granulated sugar or powder in water and pour the liquid into a spray bottle. The solution will help remove the electrification of the hair, and the curls will become easier to comb.
Before work:
- wash your hair with liquid shampoo, if this is not possible, then use a dry analogue. It is extremely important that the strands are clean. The last option has an undeniable plus - it gives volume at the roots even to thin and lifeless hair.
- Everything you need to fix your hair (hairpins, elastic bands,crabs, decorations), fold next to you for ease of use.
Scythe "harness"
This type of weaving looks good on smooth strands. If you have curly hair, then just tighten your hair.
Weaving a braid of 2 strands, let's start by gathering the hair in a ponytail at the back of the head. The last one is divided into 2 parts. We twist the resulting strands together. Alternatively, you can first twist each of them. When finished, secure the tip with a hair tie. To make the hairstyle look neater and more stylish, the elastic bands at the base of the ponytail and at the end can be covered with a strand of hair, which must be fixed with a hairpin.
Twisted Braid
Unusual styling is sure to get you lots of compliments.
Instruction:
- We begin to work on weaving a braid of 2 strands by gathering the curls in our hands at the crown. Divide all hair into 2 parts. Hold each half with your fingers.
- Starting to work with strands. On the left side, we take part of the hair and twist it clockwise around the axis a couple of times. We take the second strand, and having done the same with it, we impose it on the first.
- We continue to work, repeating the process. Here you need to add some hair from the remaining free part. In the weaving process, hold the hair with your thumb and forefinger.
- When the weaving comes to an end, then simply cross the curls among themselves without picking up. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band.
Braid with ribbon
This is an original weaving with strand capture, between which we will insert a tape. The styling method is suitable for hair of medium and longer lengths. Also, the hairstyle is designed for straight hair.
Scheme of weaving a braid of 2 strands with a ribbon:
- We comb the hair well and collect it in a ponytail higher. We divide all the hair in the tail into 2 parts.
- We hold two strands in our hands. We make a hole in one of them with our finger. We put part of the hair into it. Next, we make the same hole here and stretch a curl into it from the opposite side, to which we add a ribbon. In this way, we act until all the hair from the tail is removed in a braid. We fix the tip with a thin rubber band.
If suddenly the pigtail seems to you not voluminous enough, then you can try to make it more magnificent by stretching the strands over the edges.
Two-strand braid decoration
The hairstyle itself looks quite stylish, but I want to add some fashion accessory to it. As a decoration, you can use:
- ribbons of different widths;
- bandages "a la solokha";
- decorative and natural flowers;
- chains;
- hairpins;
- threads with beads;
- bows;
- hairpins with stones.
