Since ancient times, beautiful, well-groomed hair was considered one of the main advantages of any girl. To emphasize the elegance and beauty, the fair sex invented various variations of creating new hairstyles and braids.
One of the most beloved options for women's hairstyles was the "cone". This braid first appeared in ancient Egypt: women hired special slaves who took care of their hair, braiding them in a braid. Then, several decades later, the spit moved to France, from which it received its second famous name "French Spit".
"Spike" is an incredibly feminine, elegant hairstyle, which is suitable for both everyday use and for the evening version.
Moreover, there are many different weaving techniques that will not leave any girl indifferent.
Himself a hairdresser - a simple scheme for beginners
To create this hairstyle does not necessarily use the services of a stylist or a hairdresser, because it can be repeated independently at home. To do this, follow the simple instructions.
How to braid the spike itself:
Step 1. Before weaving the "spike", carefully go through the hair with a comb.
Step 2. The upper part of the hair is divided into three main sections: left, middle and right.
Step 3. Skip the left strand under the middle and right strand.
Step 4. Next, place the right strand between the middle and left strand.
Step 5. Place the middle strand between the left and right, gradually weaving loose hair on the sides.
Step 6. Note: the side strands must be the same volume. We place the side strand in the middle, weaving loose curls.
Step 7. Do the two previous steps using this technique of weaving until you have loose hair. Then weave an ordinary braid, fixing it with an elastic band.
Technique weaving two spikelets
Spit "spike" can be divided into two separate braids. Two spikelets - a sophisticated haircut that attracts attention to one of the most beautiful female parts of the body - the neck. It is thanks to this weaving, it is possible to emphasize the beautiful, thin neck. If you are still wondering how to learn how to braid two spikelets to yourself, then here is a step-by-step instruction for you. Stop thinking - act!
Step 1. Dividing the hair into two different parts, comb them.
Step 2. Having separated two thin strands from the main part of the hair, cross them between each other. To create a more airy and voluminous hairstyle, it is better not to tighten the strands tightly between each other.
Step 3 Gradually introduce a free strand from the weaving side, crossing it with the main strand.
Step 4. Braiding a spike on one side, go to the other, adhering to the same technique.
How to braid a spike on its side
The side spike is as simple as the two previous versions. The main thing is to “get a hand” and then this universal hairstyle will take only a few minutes.
Step 1. At the temple (left or right) divide the hair into three equal sections.
Step 2. Begin to braid the most ordinary braid.
Step 3. Capturing a free curl from the opposite side, add it to the weave. If you start to weave a braid on the right, then now you need to take a curl on the left side.
Step 4. Then, do the same, but take a curl, on the other hand.
Step 5. Stick to the vertical direction, it is very important! Spit should appear thicker on one side than on the other.
Step 6. When the loose hair is finished, do the braid in the usual way, securing it with rubber or tape. Also, for additional volume, you can "release" some strands, creating a sloppy effect.
Spikelet on the contrary
"Spikelet on the contrary" is a more difficult variant of weaving a braid, but this only makes it more elegant and feminine.
Three equal strands are taken as the basis for the hairstyle. Before weaving hair should be carefully combed in order to avoid tangling and unpleasant sensations.
Step 1. Start braiding the classic braid, placing the strands under the other two, that is, the strands do not overlap each other (as in the classic weaving of the spikelet), but wind up one another.
Step 2. Weaving the braid depends on the desire: it can be placed on its side or left straight.
Step 3. After fixing the result with a rubber band, you can add a little volume by releasing a few strands or loosen the weave. Thus, the braid will look more natural, tracery and elegant. It is important to remember: it is better to begin to loosen the strands from the end of the hairstyle, otherwise it can be damaged by forming unnecessary “cocks”.
The braid braided around the head has become very popular lately. Fashion designers are actively using this option hairstyles for their collections, making it the benchmark of refinement and elegance.
Cone around head
Weaving around the head is based on the usual principle of weaving a classic spikelet: curls are taken alternately right or left, interlacing them with each other, alternately introducing new strands. Usually, such a tress lags from one ear to the other. The resulting spike is fixed with hairpins or invisible, you can add satin ribbons.
This hairstyle can be varied at will: to hold the weave on the top of the head, after curling the lower curls and leaving them loose, or making the weaving all over the head, adding hairpins, which will give the image romance and lightness. It is noteworthy that this hairstyle will look great on both long hair and hair of medium length.
"Fish tail"
Only at first glance, the “fish tail” seems to be an incredibly complex version of weaving, subject only to gurus and stylists. In fact, the "fishtail" is woven very simply: it takes only a little skill, patience and a few minutes to create this "masterpiece."
Before weaving, you should carefully comb your hair, and especially unruly hair should be sprayed with water.
Step 1. Form a triangular strand on the parietal zone, while dividing it into three equal in thickness parts.
Step 2. Classically bind them once together.
Step 3. Take a thin strand from a wider edge, throwing it into the inside of the weave, thereby connecting with the left side.
Step 4. In a similar way, repeat on the right side, weaving the strands into a common braid, as when creating a classic French braid.
Step 5. Continue weaving to the base of the neck until the loose curls run out, throwing the locks from the sides inwards. Secure with a barrette or rubber the result.
Several strands can be casually pulled out of the braids, thereby giving the hairstyle an incredibly airy and lightweight version. For a strong fixation, sprinkle the braid with varnish. Also, if you are the owner of a not too thick head of hair, use the technique of basal volume.
Add a bit of style and personality.
There are many options for how to decorate a spikelet hairstyle, making it more romantic and elegant, or, conversely, a little bold and bold.
- Natural flowers. This accessory will look very concise and sophisticated for a date or some kind of celebration. Flowers can be woven into the entire hairstyle or arrange them at the base, creating a wreath. For careful fixing fix them stealth, studs or varnish.
- Satin ribbons in bright or pastel shades. Satin ribbons of any width and shades will be an excellent addition both in a daily image, and on the occasion of a festive celebration. It all depends on your imagination: ribbons can be woven into the hairstyle itself, connecting them with some strands or fixing the braid with an unusual ribbon bow. In any case, it will give the image of individuality and elegance.
- Bandana An option for a bold girl who wants to experiment, combining a romantic and a little hooligan image.
- Barrettes They are also a unique addition to the hairstyle, giving beauty and sophistication. They are best added to the braid itself, carefully fixing.
Of course, beautifully designed hair, gathered in a hairdo or braid, will always look very feminine. But it is important to remember that, whatever hairstyle is not, first of all, the hair must always be clean, well-groomed, shiny and without split ends. It is then that they will be a real cause for pride.
