Spikelet hairstyle - create a spectacular look. Braid spikelet - all versions of fashionable weave Spikelet on the side on the other side medium hair

How to create a beautiful and at the same time practical hairstyle on your head in just a couple of minutes and without particularly straining? The answer is almost obvious - to braid a spikelet. For several generations, the spikelet has been holding the palm among all the invented hairstyles with braids. This is because it braids easily and quickly, and looks great in any of its variations, of which, by the way, there are a lot. All possible types of "Spikelet" and methods of weaving it are described step by step below.

Weaving pattern

Separate a medium-sized strand at the top of the head, divide into three sections and begin to weave a regular braid.
Starting from the second weave, additional braids must be added to the main strands of the braid, captured on the sides from the unused mass of hair.
Gathering all loose hair, braid to the base of the neck.
Finish weaving using the usual three-strand braid technique.
To add sophistication to the braid, its end can be wrapped in and stabbed with hairpins.
If you decorate the spikelet with flowers along the entire length, then it will turn out to be more elegant and is quite suitable as a festive hairstyle for any celebration.

Using the described classical technology, you can easily and naturally braid the "Spikelet" pigtail for yourself, including, as the heroines of the videos below.

Weaving pattern of an inverted "Spikelet"

Grab a strand of hair of sufficient thickness at the crown of the head, divide it into three parts and start weaving a standard three-strand braid, but lay the strands not up, but down, placing them under each other.
On the second weave, add another one taken from loose hair to the extreme strand.
Do the same on the reverse side.
Weave until the base of the neck or until you run out of loose hair.
Next, you need to braid in the usual way, only shifting the strands in the opposite direction from you.
To make the "Spikelet" more lush, the braid needs to be straightened by stretching its slices to the sides.

Divide the entire mass of hair in half with a parting from the middle of the forehead to the center point of the base of the neck.
On each half, braid a "Spikelet" braid according to the classical technology (from temple to ear).
You can tie the braids near the ear with an elastic band, leaving two tails at the bottom, or braid the braids to the end using the usual method.

To make the hairstyle look more voluminous, instead of two simple "Spikelets", you can braid two inverted ones. It is woven in the same way as a regular one, but only strands are placed under the bottom.

This "Spikelet" differs from the usual "" in that new strands are added to it. The rest of the weaving technology is identical:

Separate a strand at the forehead or at the crown (optional).
Divide into two parts and start to weave a braid according to the principle of "fishtail" (A small strand is separated from each half and thrown into the other half).
Having made a couple of weaves, you need to start adding additional strands to each transfer, taken from the hair that was not used before.
When all of the hair has been added to the main braid, weave the braid to the tip using the standard fishtail technique.

The same "Fish spike" can be created on your own, as the girl does in the video presented.

The airy "Spikelet" is braided in the same way as the previous one described (according to the "" principle), but only more freely. And also, when the weaving is ready, thin strands need to be pulled out of the braid along the entire length, giving it additional airiness and volume.

The original "Spikelet", braided in a circle

Collect about half of all hair into a high ponytail so that the remaining half is evenly distributed around the tail around the entire perimeter of the head.
Spread the hair in the ponytail evenly over the entire head around the elastic.
Behind one of the ears, grab a lock of hair that is not tied into a ponytail and start weaving the usual spikelet, but only around the head.
In this case, from the top edge, you need to add additional strands of hair collected in a ponytail.
To make it look beautiful, the strands separated from the tail should be approximately equal in size.
After going through the whole circle and returning to the beginning, finish braiding using the standard three-strand braid technique.
Lay the resulting pigtail along the course of weaving, pin with hairpins, and hide the tip.

Separate the bulk of the hair and pin it at the crown for a while, and so that it remains free a small amount of hair at the forehead and behind one ear (front part).
Begin forming a braid under the lower earlobe. To do this, separate the strand and start weaving the usual "Spikelet", using only loose hair (add new strands only from below).
Braid until loose hair runs out. Finish at about the opposite ear, braiding the braid around the circumference of the front of the head.
Unfasten the rest of the hair and continue braiding the "Spikelet", but now adding new strands to the braid on both sides (braiding should be free).
You need to add all the hairs before going back to the beginning. Thus, the lower weave should be thicker than the upper one.
After finishing the extra hair, braid to the end with a regular braid.
Straighten the braid by pulling the strands from below and giving the weave a Greek look.
Tuck the tip of the braid under the bottom of the braid and pin.

When weaving this type of "Spikelet", you need to start the braid from the temple and move along the forehead, and add new strands only from above. Then turn in the opposite direction and so on.

The creation of this hairstyle began with weaving two inverted "Spikelets", which are connected at the back of the head into one braid.

Such a familiar "Spikelet" can be braided with many more different ways and he will appear in a completely new light. And if you combine it with other elements, for example, different braids, tails, tufts and curls, then you can create a huge number of wonderful hairstyles.

"Spikelet" with two tails

A spikelet, perhaps one of the most popular and versatile hairstyles suitable for girls of all ages. Not complicated in execution, it will allow you to create both an everyday and a solemn, evening look, even without visiting a beauty salon.

The general principle is to weave the braids from the crown of the head, grabbing all the hair at the sides. You can master the technique of weaving a French braid in a couple of workouts, but first you should arm yourself with theoretical knowledge.

Beginners first need to master the scheme of the classic spikelet.

Comb thoroughly clean, dried hair, prepare a styling product or spray bottle with plain water, a few rubber bands;
Take a lock of hair near the forehead, divide it into three equal parts;
Put the left strand on the middle one, and remove it to the left, then the right strand also on the new middle one, as a result, the original left strand will turn out to be right;
Holding the first weave with your fingers, separate the curl to the left of the hair that is still loose with your free hand, attach it to the left strand and weave it together into the braid;
Repeat the same on the right;
Weave strands alternately on both sides;
Braid the resulting loose ponytail and secure with an elastic band.

To make your hair look neat strands should be selected of the same thickness and sprinkle them lightly with water. For a longer hold, if desired, apply a foam or styling mousse to the hair.

The video below shows in detail the whole process of weaving a classic spikelet to itself:

To transform everyday hairstyle v evening option an exquisite spikelet with released strands will succeed using the lace weaving technique. To do this, before weaving a new strand into the braid, separate a thin curl from the main one, be sure to apply gel or mousse to it.

Divide this curl into three more parts and lay each in an arc one after the other in the form of lace. Weave a new portion of hair under the styled pattern. For a special occasion, this hairstyle can be complemented with beautiful hairpins or flowers.

As an option for a variety of hairstyles, a French one is braided.

Comb your hair, apply foam or moisturize with water;
Take the hair at the crown, divide it into three parts;
The left curl is now drawn from the bottom of the middle strand, which is retracted to the left;
We also start the right curl under the middle one;
Select the strands from the sides of the remaining hair, weaving them alternately into the braid, braiding each time medium curl from below.

It turns out a completely new inverted spikelet, the volume of which will be added by stretching the curls to the sides.

You can see how an inverted spikelet is made in this video:

The weaving technique of such a hairstyle is no different, only all the hair is divided evenly into two halves and two spikelets are made.

For convenience, assemble one part with an elastic band, braid the other in the classical or reverse way, and then repeat the same braiding with the remaining hair. Leave the braids free from the back of the head braided or make ponytails for a mischievous look.

And below is shown a simple and original way weaving a double spikelet with silicone rubber bands:

Having mastered classic techniques weaving and with good practice, you can try more complex weaving options, for example, a spikelet of 4 strands or a square spikelet.

The sequence of weaving a square braid:

Divide the strand highlighted at the crown into three parts, as at the beginning of weaving a simple spikelet;
Divide the right strand in two;
Pass the middle curl between them and connect again;
Now divide the left strand in two, also draw the middle curl between the bundles;
Attach a new curl from the total mass of hair to the bottom of the bifurcated bun, which will braid the middle curl from below;
In a similar way, braid all hair over the head and a loose braid.

In this video tutorial, you can clearly see how to weave such a braid:

Tail spikelet

Comb your hair, apply foam, prepare small elastic bands.

At the top of the head, select a strand, as for weaving an ordinary French braid, collect it in a tail;
Make a second similar bundle under it;
Divide the upper tail into two halves, bring them under the lower from the sides, and raise the tail itself up;
Make another tail from the side strands and halves of the first tail;
Take a bunch from above, also divide it and weave it with new strands into the next one;
Repeat until all hair is braided.

Another option for weaving a spikelet from the tail:

Create a feminine and romantic look it will turn out by braiding a French spikelet on the side or around the head. These hairstyles are now at their peak of popularity, especially in the form of a slightly disheveled, messy braid.

Diagonal spikelet

Parting is done on the side;
A strand is separated from most of the hair at the forehead, the first weave is made;
A classic or reverse spikelet is braided diagonally, at the back of the head, the braiding turns to the ear opposite from the beginning.

And here is an example of a reverse French braid diagonally to itself:

Another modification of this braid in the photo below is a snake spikelet:

Around the head

There are several ways to braid a braid around your head.

Solid braid.

Parting from the forehead to the back of the head, at the crown of the head is the point of the center of the weaving;
From one side of the parting near the forehead, start weaving, picking up the strands from the center of the hairstyle;
Move gradually around the head to the beginning of the parting;
Braid the remaining loose hair in a regular braid and hide under a spikelet, secure with hairpins or invisible hairpins.

This weaving option is also demonstrated in the video:

From two braids.

Divide hair with a straight parting into two parts;
Braid spikelets from each part in opposite directions, one from the forehead to the back of the head, as a classic version, the second from the back of the head;
Braid loose hair in braids and hide under the braiding, fix with hairpins.

To create an original hairstyle like fish tail, it will take more time and effort.

Comb thoroughly hair, apply styling product or dampen with water;
Select the first strand and divide it into two parts;
Separate a thin curl from the outer edge of the right strand and attach it to the left strand from the inside;
Repeat symmetrically the same action on the left;
Weave all hair gradually.

The smaller the hooks, the more elegant the hairstyle will turn out. The weaving should be tight so that the work does not disintegrate and structuredness stands out, as, for example, in this video:

By creating various variations of weaving, the image changes at least daily. Alternatively, ribbons are woven in the middle or two tails are braided, separated by an even parting.

And here is another great option for an already more complex weaving, based on the same technique:

How to braid a spikelet for yourself

Learn to weave different options braiding on someone is not difficult, while braiding 2 spikelets for yourself is a more difficult task. This will require an additional mirror that will stand opposite the main one and will be able to show the back of the head.

Hands on weight can quickly become numb, so it will take a long time to train. Of course, you shouldn't give up what you started if something doesn't work out right away.

Carefully prepared hair will be more manageable, which will speed up the braiding process and give a smoother result. Washed, dried curls should be combed thoroughly, if necessary, use sprays to prevent tangling of the ends.

This video clearly demonstrates almost all the spikelets that we considered, only in application to ourselves:

How to braid a spikelet for a child

To a restless child to do beautiful hairstyle more difficult because you need to do everything in a short time.

Girls' hair, as a rule, is poorly obedient and constantly disintegrates, good dexterity and manual dexterity are needed.

Styling products are not used when creating hairstyles from spikelets, only plain water.

Be careful with elastic bands, braids are not tightly braided, as this disrupts blood circulation and can lead to a headache in the child.

It's easier to start with light weaving options, without bothering the girl with a long sitting at the mirror, gradually try more complex options.

A wide variety of weaving of a universal spikelet allows you to easily and effortlessly create different looks every day, always remaining fashionable and stylish.

Everyone knows what a spikelet looks like, but which braid is called a spikelet?

We suggest you figure out how many types of spikelets there are.

How to braid a spikelet for a child and for herself, of each type?

Detailed videos and step by step photos together with the diagrams, they will help the child and herself learn to braid a spikelet for weaving.

Ideas with photos for creating different hairstyles based on a spikelet: classic and reverse, two and one obliquely, as well as around the head.

Ready to get started?

Let's start to figure out what is called an oblique spikelet?
Due to some uncertainty in the hairstyle of the spikelet, in different sources there is an option:

3-strand braid with hooks all over the head (dragon), special case- is it around the head or 2 braids. These are photos 1, 2 and 4.
A braid of 2 (4 strands) fish tail. Variants 3,5,6 in the photo above.

We will consider both variants of a spikelet and suggest that you master all types of weaving of such an exclusive hairstyle.

I would like to note that the spikelet is a weaving option without age and length gradation. Suitable for very little girls with short and thin hair and women with any length of curls.

Which makes this braid affordable and in demand at any time. She meets on the red carpet, and in kindergarten, and at work, and at school as an everyday hairstyle.

How to become a professional braiding expert?

The weaving of a beginner from a professional is distinguished by neatness, the absence of roosters and the strength of the braid.

To become a pro in weaving braids, in addition to the technique and practice itself, follow the setting of hands in video lessons, in the instructions you will find descriptions, but it is better to see and repeat once. Flexibility of the fingers and the correct grips, a lock with the correct position of the hands, create masterpieces.

Before weaving, let's discuss the general binding rules.

Braid weaving rules

Weaving begins on carefully combed hair. Hair that has been clean, only washed, will fall out of the weave, especially if you have it crumbly and soft.
Therefore, working with coarse hair, only washed are suitable, for soft and not holding the volume, we recommend giving them rigidity with the help of powder, and the volume with curling corrugation.
To make the braid uniform, we try to separate the strands of the same width, comb it with a rare comb before putting the strand.
We use wax or gel to avoid cocks and puffing.
We lay the strands neatly, we hide the emerging irregularities or knock-out strands, returning to such a strand.
Yes, now there is a slight negligence in the trend, so if the goal is to get such a braid, it is logical to disregard some of the rules.

We recommend that you learn in detail about weaving a classic one, or in order to further master different options for weaving a spikelet. Here you will receive step-by-step instructions accompanied by photos and videos. If you are a beginner and have never weaved, then repeat everything for any of the instructions.

How to braid a spikelet for a child (step by step instructions)?

To seat a child, to captivate with a favorite thing. In extreme cases, cartoons on a tablet or TV, or a game are suitable. The phone is the most bad option, since it is the most harmful for children's eyes.
A chair or other device that is comfortable for you (note that the baby will not sit or lie strictly straight) so that the child can sit or lie comfortably. Standing half bent over for a long time is extremely uncomfortable and you will want to get up, and this is difficult to do if your hair is short.
Prepare everything you need to speed up the spikelet weaving process as much as possible. Combs, rubber bands, gel, or wax.
Pre-practice on dolls or yourself, so that there are no difficulties with the technique.
Learn to evenly divide the strands with your fingers.
Start braiding by separating the strands.
Separate the strand with one hand, with the other, insert two fingers perpendicular to the floor to make 3 strands.
Then we weave according to the chosen spikelet technique and the desired pattern.

Diagram of a spikelet of 3 strands (photo)

These diagrams will help you quickly master the setting of hands and see the process in every moment of weaving recorded.

The photo shows how to complete it step by step and what you will see after shifting the strands.

Classic spikelet with grabs

In this scheme, we put the picked up strands on top of the main strands.

Reverse or reverse

In this scheme, the tied up curls go down. Pay attention to the photo, where you can see step by step which strand we take and put it under the braid.

Types of picks:

Grips using the spikelet technique determine the appearance of the braid, we will analyze 2 options.

we lay the strand and grab it under it
we put only the picked up hair without the main strands.

Depending on the choice of the pick method, you will receive different options for the spikelets. In the first case, the braid will show through, and the picks will be nearby. In the second case, they will completely close the braid, i.e. only the binding will be visible.

Consider step-by-step instructions for all weaving options with descriptions and in video format.

Spikelet all over the head with 3-strand hooks: on the child

Comb your hair thoroughly and start braiding like a normal braid.
We separate 3 narrow strands on the frontal zone and shift the right ON the central and left ON the central. This is the first stitch, you can make 2-3 of these and then do the pick-ups.
4 weaving, we shift the side strand to the central one and grab a strand of hair from the temporal zone from the side part and apply the strands on top. We repeat with 2 strands, we continue to weave with hooks up to the occipital zone, alternating between the hooks.
Reaching the back of the head, weave a classic 3-strand braid.
We tie it with an elastic band to match the hair or lightly comb it and spray the tip with varnish so that the braid does not bloom.

A training video for weaving a spikelet for a child with step by step:

How to braid a spikelet to yourself video, photo and description

Pay attention to the photo, you will see some rotation of the spikelet and the braid itself - this happens when weaving to itself, since we often weave to the occipital region, and then we shift the braid to the side when the grabs are over and continue on our side.

For weaving to ourselves, we install mirrors to see what is happening behind.

The hands are placed on the sides and you make the grips of the grabs with your thumb, lifting them from the growth of the hair up to the braid.

Do-it-yourself large spikelet

The second option is larger strands and we start braiding by making a ponytail of hair on the frontal part.
Then all the operations are repeated, as in the weaving above.

Video lesson on weaving a spikelet to oneself:

For long hair, as well as for medium hair, it will be similar, only after transferring the braid to one side, try not to twist it in order to avoid "turning."

How to braid a spikelet around your head

This version of a spikelet is ideal as a hairstyle for a kindergarten or school, since all hair is tidied up and does not distract from the main activity.

For a long time, the hair will stay in a braid and not fall out. If the hairstyle provides that the child will sleep in the garden, then it is worth braiding the spikelet a little tighter, but in moderation, in order to eliminate tightness.

Step-by-step instruction:

The video will teach you how to weave a spikelet of 3 strands with hooks around the head:

Option for weaving a spikelet around the head on a child on short hair

Carefully comb and divide the child's hair into an oblique temporal parting, reaching half of the head to the crown.
Separate a thin strand with a comb and divide it into 3 parts.
We begin to weave by laying the outermost strand (left) to the central one, then the right one to the central one. If you find it difficult to imagine, return to the weaving pattern above.
Then we repeat the operation, laying the side to the central one, and on top add a thin strand of the remaining hair from the side of the strand.

Pay attention to the video, how the fingers hold the braid, how they move when adding a strand to the right and left.

We reach the area above the second ear and try to weave more tightly, without pulling the braid away from the head, in order to avoid airiness. So we continue weaving, slightly wrapping the braid up to the temporal region.
When there is no hair left for grabs, we braid the usual classic braid.
Tie the end of the braided braid with an elastic band. Pin it with an invisible hairpin, hiding the tail of the braid in your hair.
We put the rest of the braid along the parting or at our discretion and pin it with hairpins (choose small ones and to match the children's hair).
We decorate the hairstyle with lavender flowers or any others. Screw-in rhinestones are also suitable.

A detailed video on weaving a spikelet and creating a festive hairstyle on its basis

Reverse spikelet (inverted) of 3 strands

Reverse weaving differs from the classic spikelet appearance braids.

It turns out that the braid is placed outside the weaving, this is achieved by laying the grabs under the bottom (reverse name french braid spikelet).

Comb your hair thoroughly.
Divide into 3 strands and weave 2 stitches, placing the strands under the bottom. Right under the central, left along the central, with the help of such manipulations we get the outer braid.
Next, we make hooks and put them under the strands. So weave to the back of the head.
We finish in the same way, with the classic oblique reverse weaving and tie with an elastic band. / Li>

Spikelet - fishtail all over the head from 2

Having learned to weave a spikelet in the 1st version, slightly simplify and braid a spikelet with a fishtail.
Differs in styling and strand only 2.

Fishtail spikelet diagram (photo)

The above diagram draws your attention to the fact that there are 2 strands, and the process of transferring and separating strands is slightly different from that discussed above.

Fishtail classic version

In the fishtail technique, there are 2 strands, and the transfer is similar to the top.

Fishtail inside out (underneath)

Here, the strand transfer takes place under the main strands, i.e. we seem to see the inverted side of the spikelet braid.

Tail spikelet

When you first decide to braid a spikelet for yourself, we recommend starting braiding on the tail, as it is easier for your hands and you do not need to worry about the beauty of laying the initial strands.

To train your hands and hone your technique, watch the video tutorial and practice.

Video tutorial on weaving a spikelet on the tail:

Spikelet braid or fish tail from 2 strands on the child

Take a close look at the diagram above, the photo shows in detail all the operations.

We carefully comb the hair and begin to weave with the usual method of 3 strands, laying it up.
On the 3rd weave, we connect 2 strands and work with the 2nd one. We hold the strands with a tight fist. Separate a thin strand on one side with the index finger (on the side of the hand) and transfer it to the other, repeat the operation.
It turns out that 2 large strands remain static, and only thin strands are shifted. We take the strands along the outer part on each side and shift, adding hooks from the side parts, as in the classic spikelet.
We repeat the operation to the occipital zone, then we can continue weaving, but already without grabs.
We complete the weaving of an oblique fish tail without grabs, tying it with an elastic band.

A video lesson will help you figure out how to weave a spikelet using the fishtail technique with grabs:

One side

Let's figure out how to braid a spikelet to oneself on one side, on the contrary, look at the pattern of weaving a spikelet above and a photo.

Then start weaving.

How to weave a spikelet sideways:

Inverted or outer spikelet of 2

A type of spikelet on either side of the head. This weaving option has its own secrets, it is worth going to this option if you already know how to weave a spikelet with ease.

Spikelet on two braids

Diversify this weaving option with a combination of a spikelet with a transition to a classic braid and vice versa, we will show several weaving options in the photo for inspiration and ideas.

Part your hair into an even part with a pointed comb or paste.
Comb your hair thoroughly and lightly brush with wax or grapeseed oil, lightly, just to eliminate roosters and make braiding easier.
Separating the area from the forehead to the ear on 1 side, we separate a thin strand.
The thinner the strand, the neater and more beautiful the weaving will be, and also the easier it is to weave.
Divide it into 3 strands, inserting 2 fingers into the strand, index and middle.
We weave 1 weave. The right strand is under the central (middle), the left under the central (middle).
Fold 2 strands together (2 extreme upper and lower) and go to weaving a spikelet into 2 strands.

For the right

Setting the hands: we hold the right strand with 4 fingers of the right hand, the left strand we put on the thumb. The rest of the actions are performed with the left hand.

Separate a thin strand from our extreme part with the left hand and put it under the right strand with the middle finger of the right hand. Separate a part from the remaining hair, put it under the added strand.

For the left

We hold the left strand with 4 fingers of the left hand.

Then, with the index and large, we help the right hand to separate a thin strand.

We separate with the right hand (middle or forefinger) a thin strand from our extreme part (hold it with the index and middle of the right hand) and grab it with the index and middle fingers of the left. We shift it to the hand, adding to the strands in the left hand.

The right strand, as if pushing aside, we hold it with the remaining fingers of the right hand.

Separate the index or middle finger of the right hand with right side from the remaining mass of hair and put it in the left strand.

What are the options for adding strands?

We separate the strand from the main one, put it in, then add it to the main strand from the rest.
We separate the thin strand from the main strand, add to it from the remaining ones, or just now put it under the main strand.

Another option:

Left
We hold both strands with 2 hands, with the left index finger separate a ton strand, turn the hand over, put it on. Grasping with your right index finger. We report part of the hair from the side with the left hand, separating the strand from the remaining.

Right
Keep your hand palm down. With the index finger, pinch off a thin strand to the right of the main strand. We turn it over, grab it with the middle finger of the left hand, while the index and thumb hold the weaving and prevent it from unraveling. We dive under the strand with our right hand, separate it with the index, and report to the left.

Spikelet around the head

Decided to decorate your casual or festive look with a spikelet around your head? Then let's start with the secrets.

Choose a weaving option: spikelet with hooks, outer or classic.

Since we talked about pickups, you can get 2 different options braids around the head.

The first option is when the hooks come with a part of the main strands.
Second, we make the hooks only from the hair on the sides, thereby closing the braid and we get only the middle part.

Outdoor or classic will look like the photo above.

Instructions for weaving a classic spikelet around the head from 2

Having decided to weave a spikelet, separate the strand behind the ear and divide it into 3 parts.
We start weaving a regular braid by making 1 braid. Then we put 2 strands together and we get only 2.
Weave a spikelet or fishtail, picking up the hair on the sides. We hold 2 strands and separate the small part from the main strand with the right, add a strand to it on the right, put it on the left strand.
We separate a thin strand from the left strand, report part of the hair to it and put it on the right one. We correct the strands, smooth and comb.

For frizzy hair, use gel or wax, a few drops of grape seed oil will do.

So we repeat until the next ear, when the hair runs out and there are no grabs left, continue to weave a spikelet. Tie a small ponytail with a rubber band.
Stretch the spikelet slightly without grabs, giving volume, then lay it over the beginning of the braid, hiding the elastic band, or roll it into a shell.

Of 2

The second version of this hairstyle is two braids of a spikelet of 2 strands, on the sides of the head, ending in a ponytail or a bun or criss-cross folded ends

Part in the middle and braid two spikelets.
Then, finishing to the back of the head, we continue to weave spikelets.
We add volume by stretching the strands from 2 sides.
We put the braids in a bun, giving volume and pinning with hairpins.

Spikelet braid in a braid

To make such an unusual spikelet from 2 braids, consider the option on ourselves and on the child.

On a child

Tie the ponytail and comb out the hair thoroughly
We braid a classic 3-strand braid under the bottom, leaving a thin strand from each braid. This is a loose strand braid.
We twist to the end of the tail, on both sides we have free strands.
Having finished weaving, we tie a braid with an elastic band.
Weave a spikelet from the thin strands remaining. Picking up strands as we weave.
We recommend stretching the braid slightly to add volume.

A square spikelet on itself or a double spikelet

We shift all the hair to one side, combing it out carefully.

Separate a strand of hair from the upper part and braid it into a regular pigtail. Of these, there will be a spikelet.
It is important that if you leave a very thin strand, then the spikelet will turn out to be very thin, so try 1-2 options to determine how much hair is needed for a spectacular hairstyle.
Weave a spikelet from the remaining hair. We only weave under the bottom.
Divide all hair into 2 sections.
Separate from the strand with the index finger a thin strand along the edge of the left and transfer it to the right under the bottom, separate a thin strand from the right along the outer part and transfer it to the left.
We repeat this for about 5 cm until we see the pattern that we get.
We release a thin strand from the left strand, leaving it not braided, we will release such strands somewhere every 2-3 cm.
Having finished weaving, we select the separated strand (we dissolve the pigtail) and begin to weave a spikelet from it under the bottom, picking up strands from the strands released.

Tip: the top can also be a French braid. Look at the photo above.

We finish it to the end and tie a 2-second braid with an elastic band.

For those who have mastered any weaving options, we suggest remembering the strands released.

On the child:

Comb the hair thoroughly and treat with gel or oil.
We tie it without roosters.
We begin to weave a spikelet. Separate the thin strand on the right and transfer it to the left. Separate the strands on the left from the edge and put them on the right strand, so weave them 1-2 times. See the photo of weaving a spikelet from 2 strands.
We separate a thin strand from the extreme part of the right strand and give it to the child to hold. Move the new detached right strand to the left side.
We separate another strand already on the left side and give it to the child to hold in the second hand, transfer one more strand to the right.
We separated the strand from the tail and shifted it to the opposite side, and then we give the strand, separating it from the tail, from the side of the weave and replace it with a strand from the child's hands, passing it under the strand. We repeat after each stitch.
We put the replaced strand on the opposite one, as when weaving a spikelet.
Repeat to yourself: separated, shifted, separated, shifted, separated, replaced, separated, replaced.
Experiment with the frequency of layering and do it after 2, 4 passes, or with thicker strands.
So we repeat until the end of the braid. The outer strands should form framing loops.

To herself:

Prepare: a hairbrush, rubber band, gel or water to make braiding easier and avoid knocking out.

The difference between weaving on your own is that you need to put your hair on one side, and put the strands you select on your neck.

This option is only suitable for long hair, but it looks just great and be sure to stretch the edges, so even rare curls will look voluminous.

Triple fishtail

Double fishtail or two spikelets

The option is unusual, which is attractive, suitable for a long and middle length strands. It will be easier for a girl to go to kindergarten or school, it is more difficult to repeat it to herself. Looks spectacular when worn both sideways and straight.

Prepare: rubber band, comb, spray with water, invisible -3 pcs. and a comb.

Divide all hair into an even part and start weaving a classic spikelet at the back of the head. Shifting the right strand to the left, separating with the index finger, the left to the right. We repeat this 2-3 times.
Spray on the right strand.
We tie one left strand with an elastic band. We divide the right strand into 2 and weave a regular spikelet, after every 2-3 stitches we stretch only the outer links of the braid, we do not stretch the inner ones.
When one spikelet is ready, tie it with an elastic band. We pass to the second, weave in the same way. Stretch the outer parts of the spikelets.
Using invisibility, attach one braid to another, do it in several places so that the braid does not fall apart.
Remove the elastic from each spikelet and tie one to match your hair, or decorate with an elastic with a flower or other decoration.

Usually such a braid is woven from the very top of the head down. You can leave strands falling along the contour of the face, this will give the hairstyle a lightness.
You can braid two spikelets instead of one. Braids can be parallel, or they can be made from different thicknesses.
