Varieties
Despite the same weaving technique, the hairstyle of the “basket” can be performed in several ways.Let's take a closer look at each view.
Standard
The standard and most common type. To do this, first you need to braid two pigtails, and then with the help of hairpins or invisibility to lay them in the form of a "basket". Of course, this type is already outdated, but this method of execution is the simplest. In this way, in Russia, girls gathered their curls.
Creative
Although this option looks unusual, it is more suitable for girls of school age, because the “basket” of elastic bands is not the best hairstyle for going to work. To build this creation, it is enough to collect all the hair in a tight tail on the top of the head. Then, take a small strand from the tail and weave with a proportional strand from the bottom.
After all the hair is braided in this way, hide the tail behind the original hairstyle and pin it with invisibility.
Festive
For a festive event, a “basket” is woven around the head. To do this, according to the type of French braid, you should gradually select hair into one braid in small strands. Of course, to make such a wreath is very difficult, but the result will simply stun you. And if you diversify your hair and weave a ribbon there, then the girl will eclipse everyone. If the idea of ribbons did not appeal to you, then you can add a “twist” with a bow or stained glass hairpins.
