Greek braid: weaving patterns

Each girl is a feminine and romantic nymph, even if she is dressed in jeans and sneakers. Greek braid is capable of emphasizing its true beauty and tenderness, suitable for any type of appearance due to its originality and a large number of variations.

Despite its intricate name, this pigtail looks and creates easily, succumbing even to beginners in the field of hairstyles. It is an ordinary braid of three strands with the addition of new strands during weaving. In this way, Greek braid is the epitome of a French braid or spikelet with some modifications.

To create a similar hairstyle You can not resort to the services of a hairdresser, armed with patience and the following tools:

• ridges with different tooth frequencies;
• brush for fleece;
• Polish for hair;
• styling mousse;
• silicone transparent rubber bands;

• invisible hair clips;
• clamps;
• hairpins;
• additional accessories for decoration.

Note that the tools can be changed and supplemented depending on the complexity of the hairstyle, and therefore it is important to know why each tool is needed.

Some masters who have dexterity in braiding braids, separate the curls with their fingers, determining their desired thickness by eye. Scallop with frequent teeth Useful for creating perfectly combed hair. It will also be necessary for smoothing individual hairs and “cocks” in the weaving process.

Combing the hair at the roots will help special comb brush, as well as a good fixation varnish. Note that a comb with private denticles perfectly masks the comb, delicately smoothing the hair, without injuring them. Another useful hair remedy will be styling gel or mousse. It will help to tidy up too fluffy hair, making it tougher and more supple. Mousse should be applied before styling, thoroughly drying the head.

Invisible hairpins and hairpins also able to give the pigtail the desired position. Plastic or metal clamps may be needed when creating complex hairstyles, when only one part of the hair is braided. The remaining hair at the same time is fixed with clips, preventing excess curls from falling into weaving. As a decor for a Greek braid are great massive beads and hairpins, and fresh flowers or foamiran compositions.

For several seasons, Greek braids have not lost their relevance. Hairdressers are finding more and more variations of their use in stylish images, delighting girls not only with romantic, but also with modern weaving.

Greek braid on one side can be braided on long hair, regardless of their natural density and splendor. Thin hair is recommended to be combed in advance, following the further unified instructions. The algorithm for creating a hairstyle is:

• add decorative details to the core of the flower, for example, a hairpin with a pearl bead.

• comb hair thoroughly and moisten it with a spray bottle;
• divide the hair into four strands, to the first of which tie a thin contrast tape (counting the strand is from left to right);
• to hide the knot, it is necessary to conduct a lock with a ribbon under the other locks and bring it up to the place of the second lock;
• collect 4 strands in your hands, one of which is a ribbon;

• hold the right strand under two nearby strands and bring out the second of them;
• to the leftmost lock, add additional hair from the forehead and hold under two nearby locks, leading up to the second of them;
• grab an additional strand from the top of the crown, connect it to the rightmost one and hold it under two strands, the top leads at the second of them;
• continue weaving, grabbing extra hair;

• check the correctness of the result, making sure that throughout the weaving the tape is located in the center;
• carefully pull out the side locks, making the braid airy and openwork;
