Master class: Hairstyles on a basis the technician of weaving "the French braids" or braids of Drakonchik

The French braids are also called "braids on the head" or "weaving on skin". These names speak for themselves because such braids closely to head skin trudge and form on it a peculiar geometrical drawing. The form of the last can be picked up for desire of the client and will depend only on his imagination as today masters of hairdresser's art are capable to realize practically any whim and to fulfill the most courageous dream.

It is a little history
The French weaving among the first was estimated by representatives of extreme youth of streets. The new hairstyle was so functional that the hair braided in French did not prevent to do active sports, such as streetball, snowboard, or skateboard. Besides, the owner of such hairstyle could dance easily a break with all its acrobatic movements, without being afraid of the fact that hair will not allow to execute the most courageous tricks.

The French braids quickly enough removed from streets on podiums, glossy pages and the star heads. And since the football player David Beckham got such hairstyle, it became obvious that such concepts fashionable and relevant today as youth, the extreme and eccentricity became as well the most desired characteristics of identity of the person in independence of that, what he a floor: men's or women's.

Thanks to the French braids their owner immediately stands out from the crowd as he was not only the carrier of a stylish hairstyle, but also kind of spoke about the one who is he such and whom he wants to see himself.

The French braids - a hairstyle for people, self-assured, capable to look in a new way at the world. Complexes very long time ago got out of fashion, and together with them the shaggy long bangs hiding eyes of the person sank into oblivion. The French braids characterize their owner as the person who is keeping up to date. Such person not only is not afraid to look to people in eyes, but also is ready to prove to be to the world from an unexpected side, wants, and, above all is able to be a miscellaneous, without losing at the same time the identity.

Vypletennye in the French style of a braid was become also real find for the beauties preferring long hair and curls. It is considered that the hair are longer – the field for experiments (is wider at the due level of skill of the hairdresser). But what to do to the woman whom whether owing to approach of summer, whether just on mood, there is a wish to feel not only womanly, but also young, modern, unusual and though a little – but the madwoman? In this case the French braids – optimum, and, perhaps, and only the right decision. Besides, weaving in such style can easily be combined with braids of other form, for example, Afro-braids, or with a straight hair and such womanly ringlets.

However, to become the owner of the French braids, it is not obligatory to be the owner of a magnificent head of hear at all. There is quite enough of that own hair reached length of ten – fifteen centimeters, all the rest will be provided by hands of the master and special material for Afro-weaving – kanekalon.

Artificial locks can be used as well at the large volume of own hair as long as possible to keep a hairstyle in original state.

If to speak about the term of life of the French braids, then on average its duration fluctuates from one and a half to two months. During this time it is possible to wash the head (with application of a soft sponge or without it) means, habitual for hair, with frequency is not more often than once a week.

Hairstyle basis – the French braids or braids of Drakonchik. What to choose?

It would be desirable to warn at once that technology of weaving of the French braids differs from what many call weaving in Drakonchik style also now.

The distinctive feature is that the braid of Drakonchik, as a rule, trudges a braid inside and does not allow to outline quite accurately hair partings which form geometrical figures, characteristic of the French braids.

To braid original French braids much more difficult, they demand bigger skill of the hairdresser and also assiduity and patience of model. In this art it will be much easier for beginners to master technology of weaving of braids of Drakonchik, and in process of improvement of skills to pass to more difficult French braids.

In our case (by preparation of a master class) the question of the choice of braids in Drakonchik style was caused by the fact that the model is too young and was not ready to long sitting on reception at the hairdresser who in combination was also her mother.


Weaving of a basis for hairstyles

At first it is necessary to weave several vertical braids. What equipment at the same time to use – "drakonchik" or "braids in French" – to choose only to you.

So, for weaving of a basis it is necessary to divide by means of a hairbrush hair into three unequal parts: side have to be approximately identical, average has to be much more as assumes further division. It is the best of all to fix hair that they did not prevent weaving.



To execute weaving of braids in drakonchik style from side parts and to fix them by a thin scrunchy.





Collected in a bunch hair down it is necessary to let and once again to divide into three, but now equal, parts. It is also best of all to fix a middle part of hair above that excess hair did not impede the weaving implementation.







To braid three more braids in drakonchik style. It is originally also necessary to execute weaving of side parts, and then, having returned to a middle part, to let hair down and to issue also them in a braid.



The basis for performance of various hairstyles from five braids is ready. It is necessary to tell that the number of braids can be other: everything will depend on density of hair whether and also from that artificial fibers for weaving will be used.

"Snake ball"
This hairstyle is formed of the braids collected in any order in a tail. The tail will be lower, the bunch of hair will be longer. Tips of braids need to be hidden inside, and to fix a tail by a beautiful elastic band.





"Small basket"

Hairstyle of "Snake"
To execute this hairstyle, it is necessary to let partially hair down, braided for the night. If you have slightly bulged ("elfin") ears, then it is necessary to untwine two extreme braids slightly more what to allow to hide this insignificant defect. Fix each braid by a hairpin, it is the best of all to use also so-called "krabik". Slightly comb a flowing hair or just fluff up them hands.







Hairstyle "Wavy falls"
After the hairstyle of "Snake" to you slightly cloys, it is possible to untwine all hair. At the same time it is better not to comb besides hair, and only slightly to fluff up them hands.



In conclusion it would be desirable to pay once again your attention that a lot of things depend not only on skill, but also on a flight of fancy of the hairdresser as however, and yours because also you can offer the idea for creation of a masterpiece.

Having braided a basis from the French braids once (on clean hair), it is possible just to form from further it various hairstyles, pleasing itself and the relatives unique (and every time new) images.
