Now we will give recommendations to facilitate the process.

Classic french braid
Classical French braid is a common braid with the capture of individual strands. For a simple understanding of how to do it, we will first write down the phased process of weaving an ordinary braid.
- Comb your head.
- If necessary, apply special sprays for combing.
- We distribute the hair into three identical parts.
- We take the outer strands in our hands, and the middle one remains free.
- The left strand is laid on top of the middle. In this case, the middle one now becomes an external strand and is held by the right hand.
- Now we put the right strand on the middle strand, holding it with the left hand.
- At this stage, you can watch how the strands cross, forming a beautiful weave.
- Your further actions are identical. Remember, we put the outer strand on the middle one by one. At the end, tie with an elastic band.
Classical French with the capture of individual strands is woven like this.
- Separate part of the hair, which is usually used for the "baby".
- We divide into 3 strands of equal thickness and start weaving the classic braid, as described in the description.
- Only now, when laying the outer lock on the inner, we capture a small part of the curls that we have dissolved.
- We finish weaving at the moment when there are no loose curls.
- At the end, tie with an elastic band.
French braid on the contrary
Braiding back braids is easy enough. Especially for those who know how to weave a classic braid. Such a hairstyle will be especially spectacular, because volumetric braids are created. So, let's move on to the process.
- Separate part of the hair, which is usually used for the "baby".
- From this part, we divide 3 uniform strands.
- We start weaving, but now the external strands will go under the middle.
- Gradually and evenly grab the locks from the remaining curl.
- Weave so that all the hair is in a pigtail.
- At the very end, you can pull on the extreme locks that are already woven, to give even more volume.
How to weave 2 pigtails on the sides? To make the hairstyle neat and beautiful, you need to comb your hair well and weave first one side, then the other. We divide the hair into two equal parts, using a comb with small teeth. We fix one part of the hair with an elastic band. On the other hand, we divide 3 strands. We begin to weave the usual classic French braid. At the same time, we capture the remaining strands that are not involved. At the end we fix with an elastic band. Weave the other side similarly.
Do not forget the main rule: all strands should be stretched evenly. To make the hairstyle look more beautiful and combined into one at the end of the work, we recommend finishing the weaving of two braids in the neck.
Of the two tails, divide evenly 3 strands. Make a classic braid at the end. Two braids on the sides are well suited to owners of long and thick hair. This will be a quality completion of a romantic and evening look.

The classic version of the French braids of four strands
The braid, which consists of 4 strands, looks very impressive. It is not necessary to have long and thick hair. This weave is ideal for all types of hair. Gives volume and creates the illusion of thick hair. First you need to wash and comb your hair well. Use special tools for fixing and combing. Now we can proceed to the weaving process.
- Divide the hair into 4 equal parts.
- Number for yourself each lock from left to right.
- Now take the third strand and throw on top of the second, while they should remain in the middle.
- Throw the fourth lock on the first. Visually, it should be between the third and first.
- We carefully lay the second lock under the first, then on top of the third.
- Thus, you get weaving of four strands. Follow the pattern until the end of weaving.
If you get confused in the process, we recommend that you remember the simplified scheme. Three strands on the left should be woven in the usual way, and the last is always laid under the rightmost strand.
