Options for braiding braids for girls with short hair

The lack of short hair, many women consider the inability to diversify the hairstyle with weaving. They do not suspect that there are many options for performing braids and even volumetric braids on strands of short length. Having mastered a few simple techniques, you can start every day with a new image.

Braids on short hair have one form or another, depending on how short the hairstyles of girls are. You can braid small pigtails, and you can more voluminous, if the length of the hair allows.

Make out braids as follows:

• in the form of a spikelet (French braid);
• "Waterfall";
• rim (or crown);
• harnesses;
• fishtail weaving.

Asymmetric short haircuts allow you to make a braid on only one side of the head, hairstyles like a short square make it possible to make two braids or more.

On braids, women with short hair try to emphasize the texture and volume of hair. This allows you to do all types of weaving.

Beginners can learn simple tricks like creating a spikelet. When your hands remember the procedure, you can proceed to create an unusual design for a short haircut with braids.

Hairstyles with braids for short hair, like others, should match their purpose. Some are for everyday wear, others are more suitable for the evening, as well as for a holiday.

In this case, colored unnatural strands can radically change the appearance.

To create long braids, for example, in the African way, you can even use ordinary threads.

At the same time, the girl herself for a while forgets that she has a short haircut.

Some hairstyles with braids can be done with your own hands, while others require outside help.

For everyday wear, you can make two braids in the form of spikelets. This method is good because when braiding in pigtails, long locks are well fixed.

Performing such a hairstyle yourself is not at all difficult.

With a vertical parting, the hair is divided into two parts. Select three strands, make the first two perides, as in a normal braid, and then weave all hair in a spikelet in a row. Secure with rubber band. Do the same with the second half of the hair.

Braids can be closer to the central parting or located on the sides. With very short hair, narrow rows of braids can be made in this way. The hairstyle, depending on the location of the weave, changes the look, and with it the image of the girl as a whole.

You can diversify everyday styling by weaving braids on a bang.

Divide the selected strand into three parts and throw them over, as for an ordinary braid. Now you need to attach to the strand, which is further from the face, the hair from the mass allocated for weaving. Bring the braid to the ear, fix with an elastic band. (You can use silicone, which is almost invisible on the hair). So that the braid does not hang, it is attached to the bulk of the hair invisible.

It is easy to braid short hair with flagella. Such a hairstyle will look elegant. Suitable even for a mature woman.

A step by step weaving pattern looks like this:

• just above the temple, select two strands of the same thickness;
• twist one clockwise, the other counterclockwise, then tightly intertwine;
• to weave further, adding strands to the tourniquet on both sides in the manner of a spikelet and continuing to twist two main strands;

• fix weaving in the middle of the head from the back;
• make another tourniquet on the opposite side of the head in the same way;
• connect both braids, and adjust the ends so that they do not stick out;
• if the length of the hair allows, form a bundle by including curled hair.

Braids can be braided with a crown around the head if hair length is enough for this. It is necessary to divide the entire mass of hair into two parts with a horizontal parting. The front part of the weave is an inverted French scythe (this method of weaving is also called Dutch).

The strands are wound under the central strand from the bottom, and do not stack upward, as in a normal braid. Weaving is done from ear to ear. The braid is fixed with an elastic band. Another braid is also performed - through the back of the head. Both of them are connected, the ends of the hair are hidden and fixed with hairpins.

With their help create a textured braid or several in different parts of the head, if the hair length is minimal. The principle of weaving is simple.

Separate a small lock and collect it in a ponytail, forward. Immediately after it, put a strand of the same thickness into another tail.

Spread the first strands on the sides, and through the formed path forward, throw the second tail, hooking it with a clip so that it does not return to its original position. Strands of the first ponytail lead back. For the third tail, again select the strands and connect them in the tail together with the two parts of the first.

Then halve the third tail, and through the resulting “passage” throw the second tail back. So do and connect the ponytails while the length of the hair allows. At the end, fasten with an elastic band, and give the hairstyle completeness.

If there is absolutely no time to create a hairstyle, and hair allows you to weave a pigtail from the temple to the middle of the nape, it is convenient to make two “ribbons” from thin strands and connect them with an elastic band. It turns out a comfortable hairstyle, thanks to which the hair during the day will not get into your eyes.

Evening hairstyles are not so different in complexity of execution from everyday. Their creation has to pay a little more attention, focusing on the details. Thanks to this, styling is perceived as more elegant.

Even if the hair barely overcomes a length of 10 centimeters in height, they can be used to make original evening hairstyles with a fishtail weave. The braid can be positioned as you like:

• around the circumference;
• vertically or horizontally;
• diagonally;
• zigzag.

You need to choose two fairly voluminous strands of the same thickness in that part of the head where weaving will begin. Call them 1 and 2. From the free mass of hair from side 1, a thin strand is selected and thrown to the selected part of hair 2. Then the same thin strand is selected from the mass of hair from the side of part 2 and connected to 1.

In this way, weaving is brought to the right place. The ends of the hair are fixed with an elastic band and hidden under the remaining ones or form a shape resembling a flower from them, stabbed with hairpins or other fixatives, depending on the characteristics of the haircut and hair.

To give the hairstyle openwork they can be pulled out of the braid with your fingers or the handle of a comb-tail.

With braids for short hair, if the haircut is not really boyish, you can style your hair with a “waterfall”.

To start, they should be thoroughly combed. Make curls on them using a curling iron, ironing or round comb (diffuser). Thanks to this, the "waterfall" will be more spectacular.

At the temple, select a thin strand and divide into three parts of the same thickness.

Start braiding like a regular three-strand braid. From the right distance, start creating a waterfall shape. Throw the top strand down and leave it hanging freely. Instead, highlight another of the hair in the free mass below the braid and weave. In this way, bring the weaving to another temple through the back of the head, and fix the braid on the side.

You can weave a "waterfall" only until the middle, fixing the hair with an elastic band and jokes to the bulk of the hair with a small hairpin. And also a good option is to weave two braids with released strands towards each other.

Hair that does not reach the average length, it is quite possible to arrange braids according to the type of "chains". It turns out also smartly. It is necessary to select two strands at the temple and tie a loose knot from them. Next, include additional strands in the weaving, as in a spikelet, bringing the braid to the right place. At the end, it is beautiful to style and fix the hair with elastic, invisible or hairpins.

Evening hairstyle automatically turns into a festive in the presence of all kinds of accessories. It could be:

• diadem;
• bright, rich in texture hairpin;
• hairpins with decorations in the form of stones, flowers and so on;
• veil of the bride;
• wreath;
• smart bezel;
• ribbons and bows.

And also festive hairstyles are decorated with sequins, and hairpieces are used to give the hairstyle volume.

You can braid your hair using any of the above methods, strengthen them with hairpins with designer jewelry - and a festive hairstyle is ready for any occasion.

So that the styling with braids turned out beautiful and pleased with its appearance, you need to follow simple rules for working with hair:

• no need to try to weave braids on the hair of not the first freshness - they will not get the proper volume and will not look too attractive;
• before weaving, it is better to give the hair an extra volume with a curling iron, and in some cases due to a light pile;
• curly hair before starting to create a hairstyle is best treated with a spray or mousse, and if there are no such products, at least go through them with a wet tooth comb;
• when weaving, there is no point in pulling hair - the hairstyle will look worse, and the hair and skin on the head will suffer;

• during weaving, it is necessary to observe symmetry when new strands are included in the braids;
• if weaving occurs on short hair, clamps should be used to keep the hair in position until the end of work;
• the created hairstyle needs to be strengthened with a strong fixation varnish, to avoid the appearance of protruding ends of short strands;
• it must be borne in mind that various ornaments used for hair visually make braids more voluminous.

The fishtail pigtail makes the image of the short-haired girl softer. It is enough to use such weaving on the forehead in the bangs area. Such a small touch will significantly transform the image.

When cutting a quail with a fishtail, you can decorate your head in the parietal zone. Scythe looks textured. Hair does not get out from under it and do not get confused.

Short strands, decorated with a thin French braid, magnificently raised and laid all over the head, can give the image strength and independence. For girls with a character, such hairstyles are just right.

Afro-braids look impressive on short haircuts. These braids allow you to "write out" bizarre figures on your head, drawing everyone's attention to the laid hair.

A “waterfall” of slightly curled and dyed hair looks particularly elegant, emphasizing the volume even on not too thick hair.

Two spikelets radically change the image of a short-haired girl. For a while, she can feel as if she has long strands. Wearing an evening dress, you can feel like a real princess with a short haircut.

Ordinary braids from the temples to the back of the head, combined with “tattered” strands of short hair, “play” to create a boho style. The owner of such a hairstyle looks feminine and touching.

The strands on the parietal part of the head, only several times arranged between themselves in the form of a braid, are able to change the usual hairstyle and allow you to feel updated. This beauty is created with light movements for a couple of minutes.

With the help of the rim and strands above the forehead, put in a braid, the original composition of his own hair is brought to life. In this way, a regular haircut can be turned into a pretty evening hairstyle.

Several rows of braids ending in small tufts give the impression of neatly cut long hair. At the same time, to create a hairstyle it is not at all necessary to acquire luxurious hair below the shoulders.

A “little wreath” of “fishtail” decorated with flowers is able to transform any hairstyle, including on short hair. A girl with such styling will look natural and easy, even if the hair color is far from natural.
