Who would suit this hairstyle?
This method of collecting hair is considered universal, as it has many varieties of design and suits almost everyone. As you can see in numerous photos of celebrities, women choose this style regardless of age and social status. You can see the hairstyle in various variations based on the French technique on show business stars, as well as on office workers or students.
The following categories of women should try themselves as a fashionable Parisian.
- For those with medium or long strands. If the hair length is not enough, then two French braids braided in parallel will come to the rescue.
- Girls with any type of face. The only caveat to wearing braids is large or protruding ears. But in these cases, stylists suggest combining weaving with strands released at the temples, styled into curls.
- For women with both thick and sparse locks. The advantage of this braiding is that by fluffing out each step of the braid, you can significantly increase the visual volume of the mop. But by tightening the braid tighter, you can make curly or unruly hair less voluminous.
Remember that the French braid goes well with any coloring method - highlighting, coloring, ombre or balayage, but is completely unsuitable for hair extensions using the capsule method.
Messy, inside-out French braid
The French braiding method "under the bottom" is not only a great idea for getting the effect of smoothly combed hair with tight steps, but also the ability to create a slightly tousled style and add volume to fine hair. It all depends on the execution technology and the desired result.
How to do French braids inside out:
- At the top of the head, select a strand of hair and divide it into 3 identical bundles.
- Start braiding a braid, but not as in the usual technique, but placing each outer strand under the bottom, between two adjacent ones.
- Having styled the entire braid in this way, to create a smooth hairstyle, secure its edge tightly and leave it in its original form.
- To add volume or slight casualness to your hair, lightly fluff the braid, pulling out the strands at each braiding step.
Using this technology, you can create the following hairstyles that are especially fashionable this season.
- A symmetrical smooth braid that turns into a ponytail. This styling option is suitable for those with thick or unruly hair.
- Two parallel braids, braided almost to the very tip. For those with thin locks, stylists recommend fluffing them up and securing them with large decorative elastic bands. Loose ponytails can be made much more voluminous by lightly combing or curling them into curls.
- Asymmetrical side braid. It is more convenient to perform any side braid from the top left edge of the hair to the bottom right. The free tip can be left loose as a ponytail or the braiding can be continued until the very end.
The French weaving method “under the bottom” or “inside out” requires certain skills and dexterity. Don't be upset if you don't get the perfect hairstyle the first time. With a little practice, you can not only do it faster, but also much more accurately.

To give your look a twist and change it a little depending on your mood, there are many options for braids for loose hair. They look more interesting than simple hairpins or headbands, allowing you to experiment with yourself every day. The main thing is to find a little time to create a small masterpiece on your head. People will certainly pay attention to you, which means compliments from colleagues and friends are guaranteed.
A thin braid with half-loose curls can make a girl look cute or, conversely, playful when she wraps a headband around her head, for example.
Some hairstyles using braids can transform you beyond recognition. A simple waterfall hairstyle can be both an excellent option for every day and a festive hairstyle for going out. To do this, you just need to add curls and decorations in the form of hairpins or bows.
Find out more about the different weaving options - from simple to sophisticated.
Any such braided hairstyle will highlight the beauty of long half-down hair. Braids of different shapes and sizes can be located closer to the face, to the temples, or decorate the hairstyle on top of the head. This is very important for girls who always strive to look new and stand out from the crowd. Choosing the most suitable option will not be difficult, since there are a huge number of options. And you can complete them using instructions that are described step by step.
Simple braided headband
This is the simplest weaving that will look neat even if you don’t have much experience. The main thing is to secure the braids well with bobby pins on the sides. Hair must be of sufficient length.
Subsequence.
- Step 1. If you have bangs and want to leave them unused, then make a horizontal parting from temple to temple, thereby separating the frontal part. If not, just point all your hair back. For a more impressive result, lightly backcomb the hair at the back of your head.
- Step 2: Pin your hair up or tie it up lightly with an elastic band.
- Step 3. Pull one strand from the temple closer to the back of the head and tie it at the end with an elastic band.
- Step 4. Make the braid to one side. To do this, throw it over to the other side and secure it with a bobby pin under your hair.
- Step 5. Spray the finished hairstyle with hairspray. If you want to complicate it a little more, then repeat the same with the other side, and fasten the braid in the same way on the opposite side. You will get a “rim” of two parallel braids.
French braid headband
Suitable for shorter hair and looks even more impressive.
- Step 1. You need to separate the hair, which will remain loose. Gather them with an elastic band, and those that will go into the braid with a horizontal parting.
- Step 2. Take a strand from either ear and braid towards the other, but at the same time pick up all the new strands.
- Step 3. At the end of the braiding, tie the braid with an elastic band, hide the end (or leave it hanging) and fix the hairstyle with hairspray.
Waterfall
The most feminine and at the same time simple hairstyle is named so because the flowing hair really resembles streams of water “running” along the rocks.
- Step 1. Make a straight parting at the forehead and take one strand of hair from the temple. Divide it into three strands.
- Step 2. Start the usual weaving, throwing first the upper and then the lower strand onto the middle strand.
- Step 3. After each new knot, replace the top strand with a curl from the main hair.
- Step 4. Complete the braiding at the opposite temple and secure the end of the hair with a bobby pin.
Side bun for long hair
Asymmetrical hairstyle is another popular trend of the new season. You can create a similar hairstyle based on a French braid, using one of the following ideas.
- Three braids, braided diagonally, which converge into a common bun. To do this hairstyle yourself, think about the direction of the braids and divide the entire head of hair into strands. Only after this do you start making braids and styling.
- Two braids braided on the sides on the top half of the hair, joining into one common bun. At the same time, unused strands do not have to be left loose. They can be decorated in a bun or chosen in the Greek style.
- French braid, starting at the top of one of the temporal zones and ending in a bun at the back of the head. If the volume of the strand is insufficient, the braid can be actively fluffed, and the free edge of the hair can be combed before forming a bun.
If you want to create an asymmetrical braided hairstyle yourself, start braiding from the side that is most convenient for your hand. For a right-handed person it is from left to right, for a left-handed person it is the other way around.
Braided artificial comb
The advantage of this hairstyle is not only that it looks modern and stylish, but also that you can braid it yourself. Due to the fact that this styling option combines weaving and loose strands, it suits almost any clothing style and appearance type. An artificial comb based on French weaving has a lot of options, but this season stylists recommend taking a closer look at the following methods of execution.
- From the left temple to the right, over the bangs. A comb is woven from about a third of the hair, and the rest of the hair remains loose. Loose strands can be styled into light curls using a round curling iron or hot roller.
- One braid in the form of a headband. To do this, a strand is isolated on the temporal zone, from which a tight or airy braid is formed. Next, it is fixed in the form of an artificial comb or rim. The remaining curls remain loose.
- Two braids, secured overlapping, in the form of a wide rim. To make them voluminous, take thicker strands and lightly fluff each step of the braid.
These hairstyles based on French braiding are suitable not only for adult women, but also for girls.
In a similar way, you can style a festive hairstyle for a special occasion or for going out.
Adviсe
- If your hair has split ends, looks weak and lifeless, then this does not benefit the appearance of your gorgeous hair. Use nourishing masks, trim the ends on time and monitor the appearance of your curls. And if, due to the peculiarities of the body’s condition, they are now falling out, then you should completely abandon hairstyles with loose hair.
- It's best not to braid hair that has just been washed and dried, because then you'll have to deal with frizz. If you decide to do braiding on clean hair, then use mousses and varnishes. Then your hairstyle will last longer.
- Choose hairstyles that suit your overall look. When doing a shaved temple hairstyle, choose more informal things and jewelry, and if today your head is decorated with a waterfall, then the clothes should be as feminine as possible. Also use jewelry that will draw even more attention to your head: earrings, cafés, etc.
- Hairstyles with various weaves are associated primarily with youth style and therefore are most suitable for young girls. There are options suitable for women over 30, but when choosing one, choose the most elegant options and carefully consider clothing and accessories.
So, after spending a few minutes in front of the mirror and following the instructions, you can braid an unusual braid for yourself or your daughter, leaving the rest of your hair to fall beautifully on your shoulders. For more complex options for going out, you will need the help of a hairdresser - show him the photo you like and enjoy the result.
Loose hair is always in fashion; it gives its owner femininity, charm and naturalness. And decorations in the form of braids, hairpins, flowers and tiaras give the hairstyle a finished look. Try to change your usual look a little with the help of different braids, and it will become more stylish and vibrant.
