Pigtails should be the same - divide the entire mass of hair into strands of equal thickness. In order for the hands to remember how thick to take the strand, it is better to first work on someone. Hard hair needs special products such as mousse, foam.

One of the weaving methods is presented in the picture below. As you can see, the braid dragon is great for both curly and straight hair. Trellis is a very convenient thing if you weave your own braids.

A step-by-step instruction is as follows.

• Comb hair combing back.
• Divide the whole mass of hair in half. For convenience, you can fix one resulting part with an elastic band while work is underway on another. Parting can be either straight or zigzag. But for beginners, the first option is easier.

• Start weaving pigtail internal or external from the center of the head. The photo below shows the second method. It is sometimes called the wrong side. The inner one is easier for beginners, since all the strands are woven inside, the extra ones hide the previous ones.

First, take a small curl, divide it into 3 equal parts. After a couple of steps of weaving an ordinary braid, start weaving adjacent strands on both sides so that they continue the curl that you weave. If you want to make a pigtail inside out, add strands in turn on each side. Put them under each other. So the braid will go up.

• Same way braid the second pigtail.

• Fasten both braids to the tail. You can not do this by continuing to weave ordinary braids, if the length of the hair allows, or to weave them together. You can wrap the remaining hair inside - this is a more evening and sophisticated option.
• Comb the tail.

• Straighten the strands a littlegiving volume.
• The hairstyle can be completed tying a tail with a strand of hairas some celebrities do, or picking up a favorite accessory.

Also on the sides you can weave multi-tiered dragon braids: 2, 3, and sometimes even 4 braids on each side.

For shorter hair, shorter lengths use artificial strands.

You can add a hairstyle the following accessories:

• elastic bands (silicone ones work well);
• hair clips;
• artificial or natural flowers;

• bows;
• tapes;
• invisible beads;
• hairpins;
• rhinestones and pebbles.

You can diversify the dragon using glitter varnish (avoid excessive shine when choosing accessories) or curling tails and braid tips.

Below are some ideas for designing a dragon-braid.

Fit for romantic evenings, graduation, wedding and other events where you want to look gentle and easy. Weaves in the same way as the classic version, but the strands are neatly pulled out, creating gentle waves. They are formed by pulling locks on both sides of each braid. Sometimes they are additionally tightened with elastic bands. So that the hairstyle does not crumble, it is fixed with varnish.

Close to the dragon, he creates a unique image. Weaves in the same way as the inner dragon-braids, but strands are taken thin and then straightened strongly. Stretched and wide, they hold out well with varnish and add a touch of elegance and charm. You can actually stretch strands as you like. The main thing is that you like the result.

They are inserted into the middle of the braids. So created the impression that pearl threads are scattering in the hair. But you need to be sure that hairpins, rhinestones or pebbles will not bother you. Hairpins with flowers or colorful pebbles - an excellent hairdressing solution.
