In the process of weaving, it is important to follow the step by step instructions in order to prevent mistakes.

• It is necessary to carefully comb children's hair. To do this, use a soft brush moistened with warm water in advance. Especially if the little girl has curly or naughty hair.
• Next, you should take a small lock of hair from the frontal side and divide it into 3 equal parts. The thickness of the finished braid entirely depends on the size of the curls used.
• Creating a hairstyle begins with weaving a normal pigtail. After several crossings add side curls. To do this, you need to separate a small strand from the side and shift it to the left strand.
• The next step will be to detach the side strand on the right side and shift it along with the right curl to the main strand.
• When creating a spikelet, it is important to monitor the thickness of each curl.
• Finish weaving is necessary in the area of ​​hair growth, fix the braid with an elastic band and, if necessary, braid the hair to the end.

Pretty interesting and very unusual looks hair spikelet as a fringing of the head. This simulation option is divided into two types: classic and pickups.

The classic way is simpler in technique than the grasping weave.

• First you need to take a small strand of hair behind the ear and divide it into 3 identical parts.
• You can start weaving with the crossing of the selected strands in the form of an ordinary classic braid. After which 2 strands are folded together, only 2 curls are obtained.
• The next step in creating a hairstyle is quite complicated. Both strands are held, the right small part of the hair is separated, the same part is added to it from the right curl and shifted to the left side.
• A small curl is defined on the left, a small part of the hair is reported to it and transferred to the right strand. After that, the curls are corrected and smoothed.
• Thus, it is necessary to draw a spikelet to the opposite side of the head. Just at this point, the main part of the hair ends, so weaving should be continued with the existing ponytail.
• At the very end, the spikelet needs to be slightly stretched. This will not only give volume, but also under the pigtail you can hide the remaining tip of the hair.

A very spectacular hairstyle of spikelets with curls falling on the shoulders looks very impressive. From the technical side, weaving cannot be called complicated, and it takes a little time to create a hairstyle.

• First you need to select a strand of hair on the top of your head and tie it in a faint ponytail.
• The collected hair should be turned through the base of the control strand to form a kind of tourniquet.
• One curl should be distinguished from the sides and also fixed with an elastic band into individual tails at a distance slightly higher than the main tourniquet, turning them according to a similar system.
• Thus, the curls twist along the entire length of the hair.
• At the final stage, you should collect all the hair in a common ponytail and fix it with a hairpin.
• This spikelet variation is not durable, you will have to resort to the help of fixing varnish.

Classical variations of French spikelets are easily amenable to modernization. For example, the usual 2 pigtails can be turned into a wrong spikelet.

• Hair is divided along the parting into 2 parts.
• It is necessary to decide which side to start working with. If the choice fell on the right side, the locks on the left side should be fixed so that they do not interfere with weaving.
• A small lock of hair is captured in the frontal part and is divided into 3 curls of equal thickness.
• You can start weaving. The process in many ways resembles the compilation of an ordinary classical braid, only strands need to be laid not on top of each other, but on the wrong side, that is, underneath. From the sides, thin curls of free hair should be braided, due to which the spikelet will look much more elegant.
• After making a braid on one side of the head, you should start work in the opposite direction.
