Every morning, collecting a daughter in the garden, moms wrestle with how quickly and beautifully to braid a pigtail for a child. In our time, there are no limits to the riot of options, and it does not seem to be a problem to learn how to weave them. But if a child has short hair, then the choice becomes limited, and it’s worth finding out the simplest and easiest ones.
Tips for beginners
If you are just starting to get used to the idea that you have a little fashionista growing up, but you already really want to pamper her with an unusual hairstyle, then it is best to master the simplest ones. Let the child first get used to the fact that you need to sit for a while as calmly as possible. After all, even the simplest tail often turns into a real test for mom.
Teach as early as possible your child to the fact that you have to look always neat. Beauty is work! Start with simple combing and quick manipulations, each time extending this procedure, making it more difficult and time consuming.
The simplest is an ordinary pigtail. It is the basis of all the others. To begin with, it is necessary to divide the hair into three equal parts, hold the last two with your thumb and bent index finger, throw the right strand over the one in the middle, holding it with your right hand, and the left strand with your left. Now you need to throw the rightmost curl over the one that was in the middle - in the right hand. It turns out this kind of alternate manipulation of the extreme strands through the center.
Having mastered this method, you will not have problems with others, more interesting, but, of course, more complex. Just do not forget that by and large the child does not need it until he is very small, his mother needs it, and it is not worth tormenting him with your undertakings until he is ready for this, or until the laying procedure ends for both of you. satisfied persons of all participants in this process.
In any case, do not forget that beauty is beauty, but the children are so sweet that they are direct, active and careless somewhere. Do not be too critical of yourself and your child.
Advantages and disadvantages
Long hair is, of course, a springboard for fantasy, beauty, but also work to care for them, so often the small length of the girls makes it easier for her mother and so rich life. The advantage of short hair is simplicity in their care - it is enough that they are clean and combed. At the same time for little girls with a short haircut there is a huge variety of hairpins, rubber bands, headbands, but also the presence of different types of weaving, which is perfect for their small length.
The disadvantages include the fact that short hair is still not long in the hair, and when collecting in kindergarten, they must either be properly fixed with hairpins, or fixed with varnish (in small quantities), or use foam during styling, which can damage their structure .
Weaving patterns
Having mastered the easiest option, you will not have much difficulty to move to more complex and interesting. It is worth considering the most popular schemes of weaving with step by step instructions.
French
Before you start working with hair you need to comb them. Pigtail can be positioned on the side and on top.It is better if the braid is tight, for this you need to tightly press the strands to each other. To facilitate fixation, you can use a mousse, which should be applied previously to the hair.
Take a strand of hair, divide it into three identical parts. Left - we transfer it over the central one, connecting it with the right one. Now separate the right and throw over again the one in the center. Each time it is necessary for those strands that are located on the sides, to add locks from a freely located part of the hair to the side of them. It is necessary to perform these actions until the loose hair runs out.
Dutch
The principle of weaving is the same as that of the French. Its main difference is only that strands must be applied not to each other, but to each other. This kind of weaving is the opposite. It can also be located on top of the head, be all over it, on the side, or even on both sides. This method is best to learn when the child is older, and on the head will be a hair of more luxuriant.
The Dutch Spit is more suitable “on the way out”. If, for example, each of its links is slightly pulled in different directions, then it will look even more interesting and voluminous. And if you also decorate the braid with accessories, then it is definitely suitable for a holiday. This method is suitable for not quite short hair, most likely, for a older age.
"Waterfall"
This method will always start from one side, and end - from the other. Weaving begins, as in ordinary braids, but after the first intersection of the strands, the lower one must be released, taking a new one instead. Thus, from the braid there will always be one strand hanging down, creating the look of a waterfall of hair. It is easy to learn, the view is unusual and fun. This kind of "Malvina".
This image is suitable for every day, and on the way out, you can make it quickly, without any special problems.
Its only drawback would be if the hair is very short, for example, no longer than the earlobe. In this case, the hair, most likely, will simply stick in different directions. But if the length is at least along the shoulders - dare!
Around the head
Here you can use the types of weaving already analyzed above, only the French braid and the Dutch one in this case will start from one side of the head and end from the other. The spit in the form of a waterfall also fits here. The main thing is that the weaving is in a circle. Here it is better to start the process, after combing all the hair on one side, with which the pigtail begins. This is a more complicated hairstyle, because here it is necessary not only to fix the child, but also to persuade him to sit with his head bowed.
If you have already mastered the French way, then it will not be difficult to handle it. In the future, if the length will allow, you can make the weaving spiral: this is when the circle continues in a circle.
On bangs
In this case, weaving should start with bangs. To do this, you need to separate the bangs, divide it into three parts and start weaving. After two or three lobes go to the French braid (simply, cone) with the addition of strands of the main hair next. The resulting braid should be fixed near the ear with a barrette or a beautiful rubber band.
This method is especially suited for hairstyles, the hair does not interfere with the child and at the same time originally cleaned. It is especially suitable for everyday fees. This is one of the most simple and interesting options.
"Bezel"
First you need to comb the hair back, separate the strand approximately above the ear and braid the usual braid and fix it on the opposite side of the head. Do the same with the strand over the other ear, also throwing it on the other side. Thus, it turns out the bezel of braids. Very simple way, you can learn it quickly and easily without spending a lot of time.
"Band"
This type of weaving includes the above “rim” and “waterfall”. It implies the very bezel of braids, only from the back of the head.This may be two braids attached to opposite sides of the head, or two braids connected to opposite sides of the ears, or two, if they are short, connected to the back with a barrette or rubber band.
Remember, before they were called the steering wheel. True, they were attached to the same place.
Spit placement options
Despite the length of hair, pigtails can be weaved from either side, or all over the head, can be braided only from above or just behind. As already described earlier, weaving about a circle or in a spiral is possible.
With the help of weaving, you can create real masterpieces that will not leave your child without the attention of others. In any case, any option will be spectacular and, at the same time, simple and not time consuming.
How to decorate?
Braids can be decorated with a beautiful bow, multi-colored ribbon, hairpins, even fresh flowers. Of course, on everyday hairstyles, flowers and bows are overkill, but for a holiday in kindergarten or on a visit, this is a great option.
Beautiful options
Spit - it is already beautiful, neat and for every day, but if you put it unusual, add a bright hairpin to it or twist loose curls, then it will be a hairstyle to go to visit or matinee.
There is a huge amount of beautiful options already invented, but nobody restricts you in your imagination.
For example, if you braid the bezel of your hair, and twist loose strands on a curling iron, you can also make the braid more voluminous by pulling the loops, fasten it with varnish or using invisible hair. Add here a beautiful bow or decorate braid invisible with rhinestones. Hairstyle is ready.
If you divide the entire part of the head with the partings into equal sections, and from each braid simple braids, then you can also apply fantasy. They can connect everything together in one tail or in several. To bond them all from one side or from the back, let your imagination let your imaginations run free. Just do not get carried away, so as not to torture the child, not to discourage the beauty of the daughter.
The same can be done with the "waterfall" or oblique bangs. Jewelry in the stores can be found for every taste and wallet, so you are a sculptor, a stylist for your favorite offspring, and which of the above options is best and convenient, it's up to you.
