I braided my first braid at the age of nine. Before that, my mother and grandmother were busy with my hair. What is it - even grandfather could weave two simple braids. And I personally only managed to tie the tail. It was just that the hair was long, very thick and heavy - and it was problematic for the child to cope with it on his own.
I was trained to braid then, probably, more than a week. And she was angry, and it didn’t work out, and she torn the locks. But when a thick, even, neatly braided braid was obtained, there was no limit to joy. And from that day it started: what hairstyles I hadn’t done! And a waterfall, and French braids, and openwork weaving all over the head, and a Greek braid, and a wreath, and a heart, and intricate patterns of 5-6 strands.
But the spikelet was the most convenient and fast. This hairstyle has many advantages:
- there are more than a hundred variations of various weave - so you can walk at least every day with a new styling,
- learn to colosculation on itself is as simple as simple - just watch the video instruction or the braiding scheme,
- a braid-spikelet is perfect for any type of hair: thin and straight hair is perfectly braided in general, but you have to tinker with fluffy hair, but the result is worth it.

The second name of the spikelet is “French braid”. Because it was in France that the first to use such a technique of weaving. Over the years, the spikelet came into fashion, then undeservedly faded into the background, giving way to leadership now and then, or curly styling. But this year the braid is back in trend.
This hairstyle is perfect for little girls, and beautiful girls, and business women, and even pensioners. With a straight, classic, angular, openwork spikelet, the head will always look elegant and spectacular. This hairstyle will perfectly fit into the everyday image, and is perfect for any holiday outfit. And most importantly - for the whole day such a hairstyle does not weave, the hair behaves obediently. And then weaving braids - on the head are lovely waves.
Before weaving, a spikelet must be made. "Recipe" simple spikelet:
1) comb for a long time and with high quality, so that the hair falls to the hair.
2) divide all hair into two equal parts.
3) determine the start point of the spikelet and take a small strand of hair there, then another strand from the left half, and the third from the right half of the hair.
4) and start weaving like an ordinary braid: alternating between the right strand on the middle and then the left strand on the middle.
5) repeat overlaying strands in the main braid 2-3 times, then we add free strands to the main weaving one by one from the right and left halves - that is, we add a free strand to our main right strand and lay them on the middle, then do the same with the left in strands.
6) it is important to remember that the strands must be of equal volume, otherwise sloppy weaving may result.
7) continue to weave until all the strands are woven into a braid, then weave to the end of the hair either using the classic braid technique or using the fishtail weaving method. And the hairstyle is ready.
Step-by-step instruction for beginners
A braid-spikelet is the basis for all kinds of hairstyles. On the basis of the spikelet, you can make a zigzag, and a wreath around the head, and a double spikelet, and a Russian braid. Yes, even a real macrame from patterned braided strands and braids. But for beginners in coloscleosis It’s best to start with the simplest. For someone it will be easiest to make a straight spikelet. For others, it may seem more convenient if weaving on the right or left side.
In fact, the instruction for beginners is no different from the recommendations given above. The procedure is similar. Only small additions are possible:
- each strand, before weaving, it is best to comb several times so that the hair rests neatly and there are no "combs".
- before you start to weave your hair, it would be nice to train on thin ropes to work out the movements of the fingers. Because if you immediately practice on the hair, the strands will get confused and this can cause a lot of unpleasant sensations to the model, and even the weaver will make you pretty worried.
- It would be nice to look at several different lessons, study article schemas, and only then, in practice, choose the most suitable method for yourself coloscleospin.
- It is also possible at the initial stage to actively use elastic bands - with them it will be easy to separate the locks and manipulate the hair.
- It would be nice to put mirrors in order to be able to evaluate the weaving in the process, and, if necessary, make adjustments immediately, so as not to redo everything completely later.
How to weave a spikelet to yourself
To make a spikelet to itself requires a decent portion of patience and time, but when you get used to it, and all movements are brought to automaticity, it will take quite a bit of time to spin.
At first crocodile hair clips are very useful - they will help not to get confused with strands. Such a fix is useful if the hair is long. If the hair is thin, then before braiding, it should be washed with a special shampoo that gives volume. In order for the braid to look beautiful, they also use mousse or foam to add volume.
Strands can be twisted tightly or freely. For the first option you will need hairpins, elastic bands, hairpins, varnish for strong or medium fixation. In the second case, you can do without fixing, and then the styling will look slightly careless, but at the same time give a certain charm. Personally, I got the best weaving from the temple - an oblique spikelet along the entire length of the hair.
For independent braiding, it is best to first master one species - a simple ordinary spikelet, and only then master more complex varieties. In general, it is not recommended to wear the same hairstyle every day - otherwise the hair will break. You can do this: today, for example, weave a beautiful straight braid, tomorrow - build an original spikelet of 4 strands on your head (the type of weaving is similar, only the strands are twisted under two main ones). The day after tomorrow make a popular weaving of two spikelets. Next time, the correct weaving of three braids, or cruciform, or add ribbons. The field for experimenting with images is enormous.
