Weaving braids has become very popular. It all started with simple braids, two or one, but now there are many different types of weaving. It has become relevant to braid hair for little girls both daily in school, kindergarten, and for celebrations. Thanks to braiding around the head, hair can be prevented from getting into the eyes. Braids are suitable for girls with long as well as medium length curls. A variety of weaving techniques will allow you to combine them and create beautiful hairstyles.
Necessary tools and accessories
So that everything works out beautifully and correctly, it is necessary to prepare tools and other means:
- to comb and separate the strands you will need a plastic comb with small teeth and a thin pointed handle;

- styling products (varnish, mousse), which will allow you to save your hair for a longer time.
Types of weaving
Circular french braid
Step by step, we will look at how to braid a circular braid to a little girl correctly.
- First comb the hair and separate it so that one of the parts is larger than the other.
- Then separate a small lock of hair and divide it into three equal parts. Weave these strands together like a normal braid, putting one of the side ones on top of the middle one, and on it - a free second side strand. At the next weave, add the remaining hair gradually.
- Having reached the ear area, continue to weave the hairs on the back of the head, creating a circular weave. At the very end, braid your hair in a pigtail and tie it with an elastic band.Fasten the braid on the head with studs.
You can leave such a hairstyle like this, or you can decorate it with accessories with pebbles or flowers. By the same principle, you can braid and back braid, or, as it is also called, braid overturn. The method consists in interlocking strands between each other, not on top of each other, but underneath.
This weaving looks even more attractive, especially if the hair is very thin, carefully pulling out strands, you can add volume to the hairstyle.
"Snail"
This weaving will require a little more time. It is best to weave on straight hair.
If your child curls, then after washing, use balm, special serum or straighten with an iron.
A step-by-step weaving scheme is presented below.
- You need to start weaving with the crown of the head. First, separate a small tuft of hair and tie it with an elastic band. Fix the remaining hair so that it does not interfere or become tangled with those already separated.
- Unfold the central tail, take a small bundle out of it and start weaving the usual braid, adding strands along the outer part of the braid. After making a circle, then another, do not forget to pull the first strands to the top of the head so that no bald patches form.
- When the hair on the crown ends, fix it briefly.
- Loosen the hair evenly around the head, fasten the remaining ones again. This will be the next round of a circular braid. The thinner the strands will be when added to the weave, the more turns will be "snail".
- Loosen your hair and continue to add strands, make sure that the braid should be at the same distance from the ears on both sides of the weave. For accuracy, do not forget to monitor the thickness of the strands, they should not be too wide.
- The last turn can weave bangs into itself, if there is one, or you can leave it without affecting it.
- Usually, weaving is completed from the side, braiding an ordinary braid and fixing it with silicone rubber. Cautiously with the help of hairpins or invisibility you can pin it in the direction of twisting the "snail".
The first time it may not work, but with a little training, the hairstyle will not be difficult and take a lot of time.
"Basket"
One of the most common and interesting hairstyles for little girls and adult girls. Most suitable for thick hair.
If they are thin, then comb them a little or use the additional “corrugation” nozzle on the iron, which will increase the volume and add unusualness.
Step by step we consider the principle of weaving.
- First, peel off the hair on the top and collect it by tying it with an elastic band. The result is a parting in the middle of the head with free-hanging hair.
- Weaving will start from the back of the head. Separate a small tuft of hair and divide into three parts. Weave the braid over, twisting the locks not on top of each other, but underneath. Do not forget to add hair to the bottom lock from the common hair from below, and to the top - from the tail.
- Thus, continue to weave in a circle to the place where you started. When finished, tie the tip with an elastic band and hide it in your hair.
- Gently stretch the weave with your fingers, giving more volume. Optionally, decorate with flowers or hairpins in a circle.
"Basket" - harness
Before weaving, comb and evenly distribute the hair in half. Take a small strand and divide it into two, weave them together, then from the outside add strands of hair alternately. Weave in a circle, having finished, twist the remaining tail into a tourniquet and with the help of hairpins or invisible fasten it by hiding it in an already prepared “basket” on your head. This hairstyle can also be decorated with flowers on the inside of the weave. Pull the outer edges of the tourniquet slightly for volume.
Bezel
Not all curls will take part in this weaving. To do this, comb them back and separate part of the hair from the left ear. Divide it into three equal strands and start weaving a regular spikelet, adding small thin strands on both sides.You can finish the weaving at the right ear by tying the tail, wind the rest of the hair or leave it straight.
The hairstyle will also look good if you braid the pigtail to the end and twist it around the tail, fixed with an elastic band.
Using the same principle, you can also braid the eversion braid, just remember to pull the locks at the end, and also decorate with accessories of your choice.
If there is a bang, then it can also be woven or left untouched.
A braid around the head for the lazy
It is best to braid long hair, because after weaving it will be necessary to wrap braids around the head, secured with studs or invisible.
- Comb and divide the hair with a parting into two halves, starting from the frontal part, ending with the occipital.
- First, braid an ordinary braid on one side, then on the next. Tie both with small silicone rubber bands, stretch a little.
- Throw one of the braids to the opposite side, securing it well. Do the same with the rest, hiding the protruding tails.
The hairstyle is ready, it does not take much time and does not require special skills.
