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.
