Scythes and their kinds of weaving

Recently, braids have gained immense popularity among women of fashion. To keep up with fashion trends, it is worth to know what types of braids are and how to weave them. This knowledge will create many new and unusual images. Consider some of the popular types of weaving braids.
Scythe "French Waterfall"

Perhaps, one of the most actual in this season of hairstyles is a braid "the French waterfall". It is named so, because in its form it is really very similar to the falling water streams: the pigtail frames the head and cascades from the curls break through from it. This hairstyle creates a romantic and very gentle image.

Technique of weaving

1. In the region of the forehead it is necessary to separate the string and divide it into three equal parts (let's call them "first", "second" and "third").
2. We first shave a simple braid: put the first string on the second one, then the third one on the second one.
3. We put the first lock on the second one, take a small string (podlet) from the unused hair and put it on the second one. (It is possible to weave as it is written further, and it is possible to weave a few steps of the "French spit", adding in turn a strand of free hair to the strands that lie on the second).
4. We release the third order.
5. Next to the released third strand of unused hair, select a small string (its thickness should be the same as the one just released) and put it on the second.
6. Repeat steps 3-5, adding each time to the first strand a pile of unused hair, changing it to a "new" third strand of unused hair near the loosened strand.

How to fix the end of the braid:

• by means of a usual hair gum;
• plait at the end a simple pigtail.
• any other way that your fantasy tells you.

Knitting from knots

This technique can be used both to create an independent hairstyle, and to form various decorative elements. "Nodules" on the hair look original and spectacular.

Technique of weaving

1. You need to separate the hair in the right place and split it into two parts. Tie it in a knot (working can be any strand (right or left), most importantly, to keep it working in the entire weave). The working strand can go both to the near, and under it.
2. Pin the nodules with hair clips. Before the first node, separate two more hair locks and tie them with a knot.
3. Fix the ends of the second with the hairpins so that the strands of the second knot lie on top of the tips of the first knot. Lower the ends of the first node, add each strand of the podlet and tie them to the knot.
4. The ends of the third knot are secured with the hair clips on top of the tips of the second knot and lower the ends of the second knot (under the strands of the third knot). Add to the "released" strands of doplet and tie them to the knot. Attention: the thinner you will take the strands, the more impressive will be the drawing of the hairstyle.
   Remember: the tips of the new node are always attached to the top of the previous node.
   

Scythe Fishtail

This braid is perfect for those who like slight carelessness in their hair, as despite the strong weaving density, the spit will look slightly "collapsed". This hairstyle is great for everyday wear.

Technique of weaving

1. We comb the hair back and separate two thin strands of hair (2-3 cm) from each temple one by one and cross them (for example, the right one to the left one).
2. We hold the locks with the right hand and firmly pressing them to the head, grabbing the left hand with another string next to the left strand. We shift the new strand to the right and connect it to the right strand.
3. We separate on the right side a new strand of unused hair.
4. We shift this strand to the left and connect it to the left strand. Repeat steps 2-4 until the unused hair ends.
5. When the unused hair no longer remains, weave a standard "fish tail" ie, separate the thin strand from the right side and shift it to the left, connect it to the left side.
6. Similarly, separate the thin part to the left of the left strand and shift it to the right, connect it to the right strand.

Four braid spit

Such a braid resembles a regular three-strand braid, but noticeably thicker than it (if weave a braid out of hair, without tape), it looks very beautiful. To weave such a braid it is possible both with the use of ribbons, and only from the hair.

Technique of weaving

1. Take two strands of hair and two ribbons in the following order: hair-ribbon-hair-ribbon.
2. Place the leftmost strand under the ribbon, on the strand of hair and under the second ribbon.
3. Now the left is the ribbon. Place the tape under a strand of hair on the tape. Attention: we add a padding to the right right strand of hair! Then the working tape goes under the rightmost strand of hair.
4. Take an extreme left strand of hair, add to it a patch on the left and place a strand under the first ribbon, on a strand of hair and under the second ribbon.
5. Now the left is the ribbon. Place the ribbon under the strand of hair on the second ribbon. Attention: add the right padding to the rightmost strand of the hair. Then the working tape goes along the rightmost strand of hair.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 alternately, adding the braid to the end.
   The main thing to remember is that the worker always has the leftmost strand of hair!

Flag braid

Weaving from bundles is one of the easiest ways to braid braids. On such a hairstyle you can take only 5-7 minutes, and the result is simply magnificent. The braid from the harnesses is also called the "bohemian" scythe, for its noble appearance. This hairstyle is ideal for medium length hair. We can braid the plait from the harnesses both in the technique of the French braid (on the head) and the tail.

Technique of weaving

1. Separate on the top of the hair strand and divide it into two equal parts.
2. Twist each strand around you in one direction (for example, to the left). There will be two tight braids.
3. Twist the tows together to the side opposite to the one in which they were twisted around themselves (that is, to the right). Separate from the loose hair on the head of the string right and left, connect the podlet with the bundles and twist them together.
4. Continue with step 3, twisting clockwise (counter-clockwise) tows and adding a pod to them.
5. When the loose hair on the head is all woven into strands, continue to twist the strands together. Fasten the end of the braid with an elastic band. You can slightly pull the strands of the harnesses to give the hair volume.
   

The braid from the "bubbles"

Pigtail from the "bubbles" - this is a very original and eye-catching hairstyle. The spit turns out fluffy and fluffy. If you are the owner of long hair, then this hairstyle is for you!

Technique of weaving

1. Separate a strand of hair in the right place and divide it in two. Fix two strands near the strand so that you have four strands in your hands: ribbon-hair-ribbon-hair.
2. Take an extreme tape (this tape will be working all the time) and put it on a strand of hair, under the second tape, on the second strand of hair.
3. Wrap the working tape around the extreme strand of hair (that is, put the tape under it), then onto the center band. Attention: at this point you need to add a patch to the strands of hair, located at the edges of the weaving. The padding can be done each time after a strand of hair is wrapped around a working tape.
4. Continue to weave braids, repeating points 2-3. If you want to braid a "fluffy" braid, then after a few steps of weaving, you need to pull out a strand of hair out of the braid, just as long as the hair allows, so that you get peculiar "bubbles".
5. Fix the end of the braid, sprinkle the braid with varnish and, if necessary, pull the strings even harder.
