The easiest version of a lush braid made of rubber bands

In order to braid such a braid, we need a comb and silicone rubber bands. Rubber bands are better to choose the color of the hair, so that they are less noticeable.

• • We comb the hair back.

• • We collect a small tail of curls near the forehead, fix it with an elastic band, throw it forward so as not to interfere.

• • We separate the next zone and also tie the tail ourselves.

• • We take the upper tail and divide it into two equal parts.

• • We lower these strands down on both sides of the lower tail, and lift the lower tail itself up and pin it with a clip for convenience.

• • We separate the next zone from free hair, add it to the lowered strands and tie the next ponytail from this. We remove the clip from the pinned tail, which has now become the top.

• • Then we do the same to the end of the head.

• • When the free hair is over, we should get only two ponytails: upper and lower. We put an elastic band on the upper ponytail, stepping back a little from the base, divide the resulting area between the two rubber bands in half with our hands and push the lower ponytail through the hole. Then we follow the same way to the end.

• • We carefully straighten our braid with our hands. Starting from the top, and holding the subsequent links.

• • This is how the beauty should turn out in the end.

Using this method, you can also braid a braid from the tail, on the side or bezel.

Fishtail braid with elastic bands

• • • We comb all the hair back.

• • • We take a strand of hair from the temporal zones of both sides, take it to the back and form the first ponytail from them.

• • • We put two fingers under the tail, making a hole through which we scroll the tip of the tail.

• • • We form the next ponytail below, taking the strands on the sides. And also scroll to the middle.

• • • We continue in the same spirit to the end. Then gently stretch our weaving with our hands, giving it the proper look.

• • • Our fishtail with rubber bands is ready.

• Ponytails fish tail should not be strictly under each other. They can be gradually shifted from side to side, the more relaxed this is done, the more beautiful the look of the braid will be.

Spikelet on elastic bands is a little more difficult to braid. But it's also very real.

Braid hearts on elastic bands

A braid of hearts is incredibly fresh and romantic. In any case, such a hairstyle will not be left without attention.

• The remaining tip can be left or hidden by pinning with invisibility to the inside of the braid.

Chic braid with elastic bands from hearts
