Fishtail hairstyle
To make such a weave, you need thick strands. You can first wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo. Then the strands need to be dried without a comb. There are several variations of fish tail. It can be braided from two, three or even six strands. This will allow you to create a freer styling option. To create an unusual option, several curls from the braid can be curled with a curling iron.
This is how the braid is braided:
- The strands are gathered into a ponytail and divided into two parts.
- A curl is taken from both sides.
- Each strand is thrown to the other side. This is done until all the hair is braided.
- It is important to ensure that only two parts of the strands are in your hands while weaving.
- The ends are fixed with an elastic band and varnish.
You can combine several techniques in one hairstyle. To do this, first a fishtail braid is woven along the side line, and then it turns into a classic braid. You can also make weaving with a free lower part, as in a malvinka. This option will decorate hair that consists of curls and has a wavy shape.

Greek weaving
You can make a Greek version of the braid with a transition into a plait. In this case, three strands stand out above the ear and begin to braid. In this case, the hair must be collected from the parietal part. Weaving is done diagonally: from the temple to the lower part of the occipital region. Then, from the back of the head, the strands are divided into two and each is twisted into strands. After this, the bundles need to be intertwined and tied with an elastic band. It is important that one curl stands out from the styling, which will create a more natural look.
Advice! A four-strand braid looks elegant and unusual. In this case, the strands are woven from the lower part of the back of the head and divided into 4 parts.
Double braid
Such weaving in a casual style looks impressive. To do this, a double braid is made, which is gathered into one and placed in the middle of the wavy strands. This option can be complemented with a bow, hairpin or even a flower.
The ends of the double braid are pre-treated with mousse or varnish. At the same time, they can not be secured with hairpins, but can be left as a free styling option.
Side braiding with bangs
A braid on the side can be complemented with bangs laid in a braid. Moreover, this element of the hairstyle can be used in different variations. Bangs in the form of a tourniquet with a transition into a braid look great. To create this hairstyle, you need to lay your hair to one side. Then the front strand is separated and twisted around the perimeter of the face into a tourniquet. Then the side braid is woven. The ends are gathered with a thin and invisible elastic band. A braid with bangs in a rope will look good when creating festive look. At the same time, you can weave a thin ribbon into it or decorate it with a hairpin with rhinestones.

Our distant ancestors often liked to repeat: “A braid is a girl’s beauty”! The scythe, by its principle, is one of simple hairstyles, which are simply great for most girls and even more mature ladies.
The abundance of all kinds of methods for weaving women's braids provide a good opportunity to very practically and harmoniously choose a hairstyle with a beautiful braid for almost any shape and type of face. You can create a magnificent hairstyle by braiding it, either from a completely traditional 3-strand braid or using multi-strand braiding.
The number of strands and whether the side strands are elongated affect the overall thickness of the braid: the greater the number of strands, the correspondingly more voluminous the braid itself. Large, openwork braids visually help increase the volume of the hairstyle, and even girls who are not naturally blessed with thick hair can help with this.
The French braid is a huge space for realizing the most daring ideas and ideas. The braid can be easily made very tight and elegant, or it can be braided loosely and with ease. For braiding, you can use all the hair on your head, or some part of it. The French braid can be placed along the forehead, diagonally or vertically along the head.
The most common French braid on the side, with well-elongated sections, is a great idea both for every day and for a special event.
Master class on how to braid your hair on your side
Step 1: Comb your hair thoroughly. Unravel all the knots. Make sure your hair is not tangled as this may interfere with the French braiding process. You can use mousse for better results.
Step 2: Take a strand from the top left (or right, whichever you prefer) part of your head. Divide it into three sections.
Step 3: Move the right strand over the center one. Then the left strand over the center one. Again, the right one is above the central one, grabbing a new strand from the forehead to the right one (try to keep the grip under the main strands). Then the left strand over the central one + grab from the back of the head.
Step 4: In this manner, braid the entire braid up to the right ear. The braid should be loose, since we still have to pull out the side strands.
Step 5: When you run out of hair to hold up, continue with a regular 3-strand braid.
Secure the end with an elastic band.
Now we need to carefully pull out all the side parts of the braid (without touching the strands of the braid) so that the hairstyle turns out voluminous and beautiful.
