The spikelet hairstyle canbraided for school, evening walks. This braid holds hair in place for 1-3 days and requires re-braiding, so it is suitable for long trips.There are quite a few varieties of spikelets:This braid can be woven loosely, openwork or in another direction, and each time its appearance changes beyond recognition. In this description, we will talk about the classic spikelet, which is first arranged like a snake and absorbs all the hair (that is, a winding spikelet with grabs), and then continues with a vertical, freely hanging braid.The first step in any hairstyle isPreparing hair for braiding. To make the spikelet even and neat, all strands must be combed with special attention. Each knot will subsequently prevent you from freely separating a strand of the required size, and the braiding will be disrupted.To create a twisted spikelet in the head area, start separating the hair, shifting to one edge, for example, to the left.Separate the first strand into two parts and continueAlways follow the principle of the spikelet: always keep two strands in the base, in each weave separate a little hair from the outer edge of one side and this strand is transferred to the inner part of the other side, then repeat the procedure with the second side. Having separated the selected hair into two parts, separate the outer strand from the right side, add hair from the bangs area, taking them to the right of the first part, and weave them together into the inner part of the left strand.Then detach a small part from the outeredges of the left strand and move this hair to the right side, closer to the center of the weave. The next weave is taken again from the right part of the spikelet and now again you need to weave a small portion of hair from the bangs area.In the next interlacing, the left strand againis braided by simply shifting to the right side, and from the right part of the spikelet a little hair is braided to the left part together with the pick-up. The photo clearly shows how both parts of the braid are formed, also pay attention to the fact that the braiding is separated from the rest of the hair, that is, the braid should not get tangled with the lower few hairs, this can happen if you accidentally grab unnecessary hair that should be involved in the braiding at the next stage.Braid the braid to the area of the right ear, step by steptaking all the hair from the right temple area into the spikelet. Try not to pull the braids too tightly, so as not to bring the center of the braiding closer to the very edge of the scalp.Now the spikelet makes a graceful turn to the leftpart. To do this, you need to make under-braids in the left part of the braid, and the hair from the right strand is braided in the usual way. Make the first pick-up 4-5 cm to the left of the last under-braid zone on the right side. Try to moderately tighten this first braid, which will allow you to turn the braid in the right direction.Create a braid using the proven principlebraiding, shifting the outer part of the strand from one side to the central part of the other side. Each time, hair from the left area is woven into the right strand with a small grab from the upper hair. It is important to take grabs of the same size and when attaching them to the strand, do not confuse them with the hair lying closer to the braid.The last bend directs the braid back to the rightside. To create it, you need to change the braids from the left side to the right side of the braid. The very first braid for the bend is taken to the right by a few centimeters and is woven with a certain tension.Form a curve up to the center line of the head.On the last 2-3 interlacings, try to weave all the remaining hair into the braid, so that in the future you can form the braid in the center without picking up, since picking up below the neck level is done in other hairstyles that have a planned sloppy look.Continue to alternately weave the outer edgesfrom one strand to the inside of the other side of the braid. Each interlacing should be the same size as the previous one, then the braid will be even. It is also important to weave the strands with equal tension, without pulling the braid from time to time first to one side, then to the other.Decorate the braid with flowers or bows in the same color.clothes. Hair accessories can be selected to suit your mood and be completely different, because the "spikelet" braid is universal and goes with any style. The braid can be worn either vertically across the back or carried forward over the shoulder.
