How to add volume to a braid?

Let's talk about 5 ways to add volume to even sparse hair, which will make your braid more voluminous.

Braids

An easy, affordable and simple method of adding volume is to braid your hair at night for greater effect.

The secret to making your hair wavy is moisture.

It is necessary to braid slightly dried hair into small braids; the smaller they are, the more voluminous the hair.

To the owners wavy hair this method will work perfectly.

The technique is this:

Wash and dry your hair.

Divide your hair into sectors, small squares.

Braid each square into a braid, tie it from the roots and ends with an elastic band, and braid it to the ends.

Training video on creating volume in your hair using small braids:

The advantages of this method: accessibility, lack of special devices, suitable for any length of hair, does not require much time, harmless.

Attention! Disadvantages: braiding will take from 30 to 60 minutes, the ends will not be as wavy as the middle and at the roots.

Corrugation in a French braid, evening version

An analogue of braids, but a faster option is the corrugated attachment. This version of twisting looks like steps.
It doesn't matter whether your strands are the same or different, they will then be put back into a braid. Let's look at braiding and adding volume using corrugation.

The technique for weaving braids with corrugation is as follows:

Even just washed and dried hair will do.

1. Treat all hair with heat protectant.
2. Screw the corrugation onto the curling iron, paying especially close attention to the front strands; the back part will be almost uninvolved in our evening hairstyle.
3. Starting from the place above the ear, make a side parting.
4. Start weaving a reverse French braid by separating the wide and voluminous 1st strand. Selecting strands from 2 sides so that the braid towards the frontal part becomes as voluminous and wide as possible.

How to weave a reverse French braid is discussed in this article with diagrams, and the tiebacks are discussed here.

5. Braid the braid to the back of the head, continuing the normal braid without tiebacks, and tie it with an elastic band. Stretch each strand giving even more volume.
6. All that remains is to gather your hair under a crab or pin it with a hairpin. Choose the option that suits you best.
7. Spray with varnish, hiding weaving flaws or stray strands. Laying down each link.
8. Inspect the finished hairstyle and pin up any stray hairs using bobby pins.

To make it easier to master weaving volumetric French braid We recommend watching a video tutorial from Neonila Bronstein, which shows the entire process of creating a hairstyle step by step.

Bouffant

This option is suitable in cases where there is no time for braids, and corrugation is not available, then a braid with a backcomb would be appropriate.

It should not be done on long or very brittle hair.

It can be directed to the root or to the strands, it depends on what kind of braid you came up with.

Cons: improperly done combing leads to deterioration of hair condition and brittleness.

Before you start doing it, watch a video on proper combing and giving your hair the desired texture. Contact such professionals as: Kot, Tatyana or other hairdressers.

Trying to comb the backcomb is a major mistake.

You need to get rid of it like this:

• Wash your hair without combing using shampoo and conditioner.
• When the hair is dry, comb the hair with a comb with very rare teeth.

Strands with clips or hair extensions

The first option is easier to implement, although both methods are not cheap.

Strands on clips will add volume and length at the same time, but hair extensions cannot do this.

These methods are good for constant and long-term use.

When you constantly need to do this hairstyle, then the investment is justified.

Look at the look and length of your hair before the extensions and the result after. Whether extensions or false strands are better is a question girls decide individually.

Depending on the condition of the hair and the advice of the hairdresser.

Do you dream of a voluminous, chic braid like Elsa's?

How to make such a braid, see step-by-step photos.

If you don't fully understand the process, this will help you step by step video with explanations.

Video using backcombing, curlers and strands on hairpins:

Strand stretching

Plucking technique

In the process of weaving a reverse French braid, we stretch the links using a plucking technique, pulling only the outermost part of the links.

1. We part the hair. We tie the second strand for the braid with an elastic band.
2. From the separated large strand, passing from the parting to the temporal area with the sharp end of the comb, separate a thin strand.
3. We divide it into 3 strands, from which we will weave a reverse French braid. By inserting 2 fingers into the strand, we get 3.
4. We begin weaving by placing the right strand under the central one, then the left. The second and subsequent spans are done with a pick-up on both sides. When the weave is done, slightly stretch the link by the edges. We repeat this operation to the occipital region of the head.

This technique is suitable for evening or openwork braids, giving volume and width to each link, the braid itself acquires the airiness of lace.

We pull the whole link

We repeat all the steps from the previous technique until the links are stretched.

After weaving, we pull the entire link to the required volume. In this case, the braids turn out to be more voluminous and “rich”, creating the impression of being very thick hair and thick braids.

Curls without curlers and curling irons

Content:

Times and tastes change, but long hair still remains one of the main advantages. Beautiful and well-groomed, they attract glances of both admiration and envy. Simply loose, even chic - it’s too boring and monotonous. One way to transform your appearance is a fishtail braid; it is easy to braid and looks chic, unusual and fresh.

Hair preparation

Initially, the “fishtail” was called a spikelet, it refers to a type of spikelet weaving. Later it was renamed due to its external resemblance to a fish tail. The beauty of the braid is that it can be braided on thick and fine hair different lengths and structures. Ideal hair is long and straight; braiding it is easiest, and you can master the technique the second or third time.

“Fishtail” is not for those who like clear lines and are used to strict business hairstyles, the braid adds zest to the image and emphasizes individuality. Before you start braiding, you need to prepare your hair:

• comb your hair well, it is better if it is clean;
• spray with water and a special antistatic spray that removes electrification and reduces hair tangles;
• at the end of preparation, you can apply a styling product - foam or mousse, if the hairstyle is being created for the whole day, so it will not become disheveled and will not lose its presentable appearance.

It is not recommended to use styling products for children so as not to cause allergies or irritation.

Weaving technique

An easy-to-weave braid is perfect for everyday hairstyles, a holiday or an evening out. Classic fishtail weaving technique:

• For the first time, it is recommended to braid the braid from the side, starting not from the roots, but from the middle of the length. You can gather your hair into a ponytail, which will make it easier to braid at the back of your head;
• Divide the collected hair in half at the beginning of the braid. If the braid is on the side, first move the bun there, then divide it into two parts;
• on one side (for example, the right) separate a thin strand and move it to the other side (left), connecting the strand with the main mass of hair;
• Holding both halves firmly, select the same strand from the left side and transfer it to the right. This weaving is called cross weaving;
• Cross the strands until the braid is ready. Weaving looks more beautiful if you collect strands from the bottom of the hair and throw them to the top;
• To make the braid neat and even, watch the tension of the hair; while braiding, hold it firmly with your hands so that the strands do not unravel. Monitor the size of the separated strands; they should be approximately the same thickness (no more than 2.5-3 cm). The thinner the strands, the more beautiful the braid will be, but the weaving process will take longer;
• After completing the braiding, lightly spray your hair with a low-hold hairspray.

The classic version involves loose braiding at the base of the braid and tighter along the length of the hair. After finishing the work, you can slightly loosen the braid at the base with your hands.

Hairstyle options

The classic fishtail is the ideal basis for more complex and beautiful hairstyles.

1. 1. The easiest way is to let the strands out a little. You can simply loosen them with your hands along the entire length, give them a slightly disheveled look, or pull out the strands, give them the desired shape and sprinkle them with varnish, it will look careless, but very stylish. If you release a thin strand on each side along the entire length, forming semicircles, the braid will become a real lace work of art.
2. 2. A big plus of the fishtail is the ability to visually enhance the shine of the hair. This is explained by the peculiarity of the weaving: thin strands intertwined with each other cross-reflect light, which increases not only shine, but also the play of color. It looks very beautiful on highlighted hair, especially if you choose only bleached hair for some strands for braiding. You can weave strands of a different color into your braid, such as ruby, purple and even blue. Colored strands are sold in hairdressing salons or specialty stores.
3. 3. You can braid a fishtail instead of a regular braid, make two of them or braid them around your head. On long hair, three fishtails woven into a regular braid look beautiful. Add to them beautiful hairpin, you will get a chic evening hairstyle.
4. 4. Various techniques weaving can be combined with each other. Start making a French braid, from which the fishtail will originate. Or weave regular braids at the sides and join them into a fishtail. Instead of regular braids You can weave fishtails on the sides. A braid can complete almost any hairstyle.

1. 5. A braid braided from a high ponytail on the top of the head looks intriguing and aristocratic. To create a business stylish look The fishtail can be gathered into a bun. At any interview or business meeting, this hairstyle will attract attention and will not look provocative.
2. 6. A common and romantic option is to braid your hair on one side. Start from the temporal part with a simple spikelet, moving diagonally to the other side, ending with a fishtail. The finished braid can be thrown forward over the shoulder, decorated with a colored ribbon, hair accessories or a hoop. Decorations with flowers, small hats, beads and even feathers are widely used.
3. 7. One of the weaving methods is a cascading fishtail. Its peculiarity is that for the main braid it is necessary to select a small part of the hair near the forehead, gradually weaving the remaining strands into the main braid. The side strands should be symmetrical and slightly loose. You will get a delightful and unusual hairstyle.

You can weave a fishtail in the most different options. A hairstyle with this braid will allow you not only to show creativity, but also to feel special, be it a business meeting, a walk or a romantic date.

Braiding for beginners is now a very popular activity. This method of hair styling was first demonstrated in Ancient Greece. Slaves had their hair grown and cut to add extra volume to the braided hairstyles of noble women. Today everything is much more prosaic and simpler. You need to choose what you want and, using diagrams, implement it. Every season, designers offer new types of haircuts and styles, but only the braid remains the constant leader of various shows. Romantic, feminine and stylish hairstyle with its use it will be appropriate at a party, a gala reception, and just in everyday life.

Braiding is a kind of art, having mastered the basics of which you can realize creative ideas and find a unique image and style. The skill of braiding is based on two types of weaving, which should be learned first. In the future, practice, experiments and imagination will do their job.

First of all, you need to prepare your hair. Wash thoroughly using balm. Washing should be done the day before you are going to start learning how to braid. Then the hair will be easy to comb and lie flatter. Next you need to choose accessories.

It is preferable to have a wooden comb to avoid electrification. You will also need a fine-toothed comb to make even partings. Elastic bands, ribbons, hairpins with flowers, hairpins - everything is useful when weaving braids for beginners. And of course, you need to choose fixing agents.

Their list is small:

• oil;
• spray glitter;
• mousse.

Three strand braid

This classic look is easy to do and is a basic braiding staple for beginners. Hair should be clean; you can spray it with a styling product that adds shine and a glossy sheen. Using a ribbon will not only be a worthy decoration, but will also serve as a hairstyle fixer. The simple braid pattern includes several stages.

You need to gather the hair at the back of your head into a bun using an elastic band. Pass a medium-width ribbon under the bottom edge and tie with a bow. Then divide the tail into three strands of equal thickness. Place the right one on the middle one so that it is located between the left and the center one. Then the left one is placed on the middle one and ends up between it and the right one. The principle is simple - each strand alternately occupies a central place.

The tape can be introduced both from the very beginning of the hairstyle and from the middle. It is placed under the braid so that the left end is connected to the left strand, and the right end, respectively, to the right. This is the kind of beauty you can get if you tie the ribbon in a bow to finish the braid. (Fig. 1)

The bun can be built on the side and under the back of the head. An interesting solution would be to decorate your hair with raw fabric, a silk scarf or colored threads. You can make a parting in the middle of your head and create not one, but two braids, following the same principles.
Many girls refuse a romantic hairstyle because of thin or sparse hair. Such young ladies can safely make a voluminous braid (Fig. 2). The basis of its construction is the classic look. The action scheme repeats the manipulations of the previous description, with the exception of a few additional ones:

• apply mousse to add density;
• curl your hair;
• lightly comb;
• braid in three parts to the end of the hair;
• do not tighten to maintain openwork and airiness;
• pull the strands on both sides of the weave to the required volume;
• fix with varnish.

For those with thick hair, it is not necessary to curl it; you can straighten it with an iron after pre-treating it with an oil-containing product. You can weave it, starting with the strands above the forehead, gradually adding side parts. Braids for medium hair are decorated with ribbons or leather laces.

And the long beauty is wrapped around the head, secured with bobby pins or hairpins. Such an openwork looks interesting and unusual on a pre-tied ponytail. If a special event is planned, you can complement the styling with hairpins with flowers or stones or fix it with glitter varnish. The carefree and lightness of the image is emphasized by two patterned braids, decorated on the sides and with a zigzag parting. There are a lot of options, there is room to let your imagination run wild and show creativity.

French braid

Braiding hair french style- the second main type of this art.

He is the leader fashion shows and an indispensable option for all hair types.

From the very base of hair growth, you need to select one strand. Its width depends on the desired width of the braid. Next, you should divide it into three more equal parts. A regular braid is created. In the process, it is necessary, holding the right and central parts with one hand, with the other to introduce additional strands, highlighting them on the left side and thickening the left part so that it becomes larger than the other two.

The same is done with the right side when it comes time to implement it. That is, each time either the left or the right side of the braid becomes thicker. This process should be repeated until the end of hair growth. You can then secure or continue working to the required length.

To make the French classic look neat, you need to tidy up your nails. Numerous snags will interfere with the process, and the strands will need to be intertwined. Braiding is a painstaking process that requires accuracy and skill. Finished work You can fix it with whatever your heart desires and fix it with varnish. This will be the classic look (Fig. 3). Many variations become available if you master this technique. You can start dividing into strands at the base of the neck, from the side or from the middle of the head. Not bad french weave combines with a ponytail or bun. Loose hair, decorated with a thin braid of this type, will add some lightness and incompleteness to the image, which is especially relevant this season.

Having learned the basic types of creating braids, you can arrange a real holiday for yourself. Any woman, girl, regardless of age, will feel luxurious and comfortable at the same time. In addition, you can choose an unforgettable braid styling style for any outfit. It is unlikely that you will be able to go unnoticed with such an elegant hairstyle.
