How to braid a braid in the classical way?
To braid it is necessary to divide the hair into three equal strands. Then the right strand is superimposed on the central stripe (from right to left), and the central strand is slightly pulled to the right. The left strand is superimposed on the right (in the direction from left to right).
Now the left strand has become central, the right one -left, and the central one - the right and the next coil turn is executed according to the scheme described above. Similarly, the braid is padded to the end, fixed with a decorative band or band.
How to braid a scythe in French?
The braid in French, the French braid or simply the "spikelet" are all names of the same kind of plaiting. The braid in French is woven in the following way.
Separate on the top of a fairly wide strand and divide it into three equal parts. The first step of weaving is performed in the same way as weaving a classical braid.
Then on the next turn with the right strand(the one that was originally central) weave a loose strand of hair on the right. Likewise, a free strand of hair to the left strand is weaved to the left.
At the end of the braiding, the braid is fixed with a decorative band or band.

In addition to the usual French braid, its "inverted" version is also very common. The weaving is done in a similar way, only the strands are not superimposed on each other, but, on the contrary, are weaved one under the other. This spit turns out to be more structural, expressed.
How to braid an openwork braid?
Openwork, as a rule, are called braids from more than 5 strands. Such braids require some skill at weaving: to keep all the strands and not get confused when they are counted heavily.
For the convenience of counting strands are numbered from the extreme left to the extreme right (or vice versa, as it is more convenient). The weaving begins usually with extreme strands.
Consider the technology of weaving a fishnet example of a braid of 5 strands. In this case, the leftmost strand is at number 1, the far right is at number 5.
Strand 5 in the direction from right to left to overlapstrand 4. Place strand 3 in the direction from left to right on the strand 5. Then place the strand 5 on the strand 2 in the direction from the right to the left, and place strand 1 on the strand 5 in the direction from left to right. It turned out openwork "lattice".
Now the weaving is performed from left to right, and the strands seem to "swap": those that were upper, become lower and vice versa. In the following, each odd number of plaiting braids is similar to the first, each even to the second. At the end of the plaiting, the braid is fixed.
