Weave kanekalon directly into dry hair, but curls must be dampened to make it easier to braid. The weaving process includes the following steps:
- we divide the curls into rows in which we will weave the kanekalons; carefully sort out the hair strands to prevent tangled hairs, while you can use gel wax;
- we grab a lock of hair and a similar kanekalon, while the latter should be folded in half; wrap the curls around them and begin to weave a braid of three strands - that is, one strand is hair, the other two are kanekalons;
- we retreat a few centimeters from the roots of the hair and begin weaving;
- if the curls are all interwoven, then go to the third strand and continue weaving until the final.
Important! Without exception, weave braids to the end, we try so that the scalp is not visible.
Overhead braids
If desired, you can already use overhead braids. They will also look spectacular and unusual. To do this, you need to pin artificial hair with hairpins. This hairstyle is suitable for those with short hair, because with it you can increase the length. Overhead braids look no worse than real ones. They can be made independently.
But for any hairstyle, experience and skill are required. From the first time you will not get a masterpiece on your head. It is difficult to braid yourself such braids on your own, so you can go to the salon or to friends who know how to make such creations. If it is not possible to buy artificial curls, then often they are simply replaced with colored threads or floss. The result is no worse.
Tips
To create an individual and interesting hairstyle, you must adhere to the following simple rules:
- to strengthen the braids, use elegant colorless elastic bands;
- to hook strands of Kanekalon with studs;
- you need to sleep in a protective cap or scarf, which will help prevent friction on the pillow;
- weaving should be done only on dry hair.
How cares?
Of course, at least once a week it is worth washing the roots with shampoo, without untying the braid.We do not wet our hair in length, as this will provoke swelling of the artificial strands and make the hair heavier.
Do not use gels and head masks. After you remove the curls, it is better to give a break and not to braid anything in the hair.
This weaving is fresh and original. Bright colors will cheer you up and bring your personality. Children really like this style. Pink, purple, green artificial pigtails can be found often this summer. Children are in a good mood and their parents are happy.
