Piglet "spikelets" with your own hands

Hair braided in a pigtail "spikelet", otherwise called the French scythe. The braid is one of the most comfortable hairstyles. It is in some way universal, appropriate both at the holiday and in everyday life - in any situation it will look very neat, romantic and beautiful.

The braided pigtail of "spikelets" will approach not only to small girls, but also to young girls and even quite mature women. Be sure that with this hair style you will always look dignified, effective and very neat. It is an ornament of the external appearance of the lady, and the head looks well-groomed and neat. "Spike" is the basis for many original hairstyles, consisting of braids. At first glance you might think that weaving braids of "spikelets" is too difficult and troublesome. But over time, after some training, it becomes clear that everything is not so complicated and scary as it seemed at first sight. It is very convenient when at home mom, grandmother or sister can help to braid a braid, then there is no need to study the instructions and tire yourself with self-braiding braid. But very often, in addition to itself, there is no one to hope for, and in this case one must be able to do everything independently without waiting for outside assistance.

If you have thick and smooth hair, then this hairstyle will look more advantageous than the pigtail "spikelets", braided from thin or curly hair. But both of these problems are solvable. Before making such a hairstyle, thin hair should be washed with shampoo, giving volume, and use a special mousse or foam to increase the volume. Curly hair should also be washed, dried and, using a hair iron, straighten them. After these procedures, you can braid the braids of "spikelets", and rest assured that your hair will look no worse than the girls with perfectly even and thick hair.

Let's try using the braid's instructions to braid yourself.

1. Make a haircut at the roots of hair and easily comb them so that they do not look disheveled.
2. Start the weave from the top of the head by dividing the hair into three strands. If you want the pigtail "spikelets" to look bulky, then you need to take strands of large size.
3. Begin as if you are flossing an ordinary braid. Grasping new side strands, weave them into a regular braid. With your left hand, you must neatly hold the main part of the braid all the time.
4. Twist the largest right strand with the middle strand from the base.
5. Do the same with the left strand, and so on until the very end of the weaving.

Now you see that it is not very difficult to braid a French pigtail. The main thing, do not rush during the weaving, and then the pigtail "spikelets" will look neat and dense and, accordingly, will last longer on the hair than the hair done in a hurry and hectic. If you still do not have the patience to braid the braid, and there is no one to help, in that case it is better to go to a beauty salon or a hairdresser, where an experienced master will braid you the way you want.
