Braiding options for girls with short hair

Every morning, collecting a daughter in the kindergarten, mothers rack their brains on how to quickly and beautifully braid a pigtail to a child. There are no limits to the riot of options in our time, and finding out how to weave them is not a problem. But if the child has short hair, then the choice becomes limited, and here it is worth learning the simplest and easiest of them.

If you are just starting to get used to the idea that you are growing a little fashionista, but you really want to pamper her unusual hairstyle, then it is best to master the simplest of them. Let the child first get used to the need to sit quietly for some time, as soon as possible. After all, even the simplest ponytail often turns into a real test for mom.

The simplest is an ordinary pigtail. She is the foundation of everyone else. First you need to divide the hair into three equal parts, hold the last two with your thumb and bent forefinger, put the right strand on the one that is in the middle, holding it with your right hand, and with the left - the remaining strand. Now you need to throw the rightmost curl over the one that was in the middle - in the right hand. It turns out this kind of alternate manipulation of the extreme strands through the central.

Having mastered this method, you will not have problems with others, more interesting, but, of course, more complex. Just do not forget that, by and large, the child does not need this until he is very small, his mother needs it, and it is not worth your efforts to torture him until he is ready for this, or until the laying procedure ends for both of you satisfied persons of all participants in this process.

Long hair is, of course, a springboard for imagination, beauty, but also the work of caring for them, so often the small length of girls makes it easier for her mother to have an eventful life. The advantage of short hair is the simplicity of its care - it is enough that they are clean and combed. At the same time, for little girls with a short haircut, there is a huge number of various hairpins, elastic bands, rims, but also the presence of various types of weaving, which is perfect for their small length.

The disadvantages include the fact that short hair still does not stay in the hair for a long time, and when going to kindergarten, they must either be properly fixed with hairpins, or fixed with varnish (in small quantities), or use foam during styling, which can damage their structure .

Having mastered the simplest option, it will not be difficult for you to switch to more complex and interesting ones. It is worth considering the most popular weaving patterns with step-by-step instructions.

Before you start working with hair, you need to comb them. The pigtail can be placed both side and top. It is better if the braid is tight, for this it is necessary to tightly press the strands to each other. To facilitate fixation, you can use mousse, which should be applied first to the hair.

We take a lock of hair, divide it into three identical parts. Left - move over the center, connecting it to the right. Now we separate the right one and throw it again on top of the one in the center. Each time, it is necessary to add strands from the freely located part of the hair to the strands that are located on the sides. These steps must be performed until free hair ends.

The principle of weaving is the same as that of French. Its main difference is only that locks must not be laid on top of each other, but under each other. This kind of weaving is the other way around. It can also be located on top of the head, be in its entire part, on the side or even on both sides. This method is best mastered when the child is older, and there will be more hair on the head.

The Dutch braid is more suitable for "exit". If, for example, each of its links is pulled a little in different directions, then it will look even more interesting and voluminous. And if you also decorate the braid with accessories, then it is definitely suitable for the holiday. This method is suitable for not quite short hair, most likely for an older age.

This method will always begin on one side, and end on the other. Weaving begins, as with ordinary braids, but after the first cross of strands, the lower one must be released, taking a new one from above instead. Thus, from the braid there will always be one strand hanging down, creating the appearance of a waterfall of hair. It’s easy to master, the look is unusual and fun. Such a kind of "Malvina."

Its only drawback will be if the hair is very short, for example, no longer than the earlobe. In this case, the hair, most likely, will just stick out in different directions. But if the length is at least on the shoulders - go for it!

Here we can use the types of weaving already discussed above, only the French braid and the Dutch in this case will start from one side of the head, and end at the other. A spit in the shape of a waterfall is also suitable here. The main thing is that weaving should be in a circle. Here it is better to start the process, after combing all the hair on one side, from which the pigtail will start. This is already a more complicated hairstyle, because here it is necessary not only to fix the child, but also to persuade him to sit with his head bowed.

In this case, weaving should begin with the bangs. To do this, you need to separate the bangs, divide it into three parts and start weaving. After two or three lobes, go to the French braid (simply, spikelet) with the addition of strands of main hair nearby. The resulting braid should be fixed near the ear with a hairpin or a beautiful elastic band.

This method is especially suitable for caret hairstyles., hair does not interfere with the child and at the same time originally removed. It is especially suitable for everyday training. This is one of the easiest and most interesting options.

First you need to comb your hair back, separate the strand about above the ear and braid a normal braid and fix it on the opposite side of the head. Do the same with the strand over the other ear, also throwing it to the other side. Thus, a rim of braids is obtained. A very simple way, you can learn it easily and quickly, without spending a lot of time.

This type of weaving includes the “rim” and “waterfall” above. It implies the very rim of braids, only on the occipital side. This can be two braids fixed on opposite sides of the head, or two braids connected at opposite sides of the ears or two if they are short, connected at the back with a hairpin or elastic.

Despite the length of the hair, braids can be weaved both on one side and all over the head, it can be braided only from above or only from behind. As previously described, weaving is possible about a circle or in a spiral.

Braids can be decorated with a beautiful bow, multi-colored ribbon, hairpins, even fresh flowers. Of course, on everyday hairstyles, flowers and bows are too much, but for a holiday in a kindergarten or on a visit is a great option.

A braid is already beautiful, tidy and for every day, but if you put it unusually, add a bright hair clip to it or twist loose curls, then this will already be a hairstyle for going out for a visit or for a matinee.

There are a huge number of beautiful options already invented, but no one limits you in your imagination.

For example, if you braid a rim of hair, and wind loose strands onto a curling iron, then you can still make the braid more voluminous by pulling the loops, fix it with varnish or with the help of invisibility. Add a beautiful bow here or decorate the pigtail with invisible rhinestones. The hairstyle is ready.

If you divide the entire part of the head with partings into equal sections, and from each braid simple braids, then here you can also apply imagination. They can be connected all together in one tail or in several. To fasten them all from one side or behind, then let your imagination give free rein to your fantasies. Just do not get carried away, so as not to torture the child, not to discourage the craving for beauty from the daughter.

The same thing can be done with a “waterfall” or a scythe in bangs.You can find jewelry in stores for every taste and budget, so you are a sculptor, stylist for your favorite child, and which of the above options is best suited and convenient, it's up to you.
