I braided my first braid at nine. Before that, my mother and grandmother were busy with my hair. Why, even a grandfather could weave two little pigtails. And for me personally I could only tie a tail. It was just that the hair was long, very thick and heavy - and it was difficult for the child to cope with it on their own.
I was trained to stumble then, probably more than a week. And angry, and did not work, and pulled out the strands. But when it came out a thick, smooth, neatly braided braid - there was no limit to joy. And from that day it started: what kind of hairs I didn’t make! And the waterfall, and the French braids, and openwork weaving all over the head, and the Greek braid, and the wreath, and the heart, and intricate patterns of 5-6 strands.
But the spikelet was the most convenient and quickest. This hairstyle has many advantages:
- there are more than a hundred variations of different weaving - so you can even walk every day with new styling,
- to learn how to tinker on itself is easier than ever - just look at the video instruction or diagram of the weaving,
- Spit-cone is perfect for hair of any type: thin and straight hair is woven perfectly at all, but you have to tinker with a lush head of hair, but the result is worth it.

The second name of the spikelet - "French braid". Because it was in France who first began to use such weaving technique. Over the years, the spike is now in vogue, then unfairly faded into the background, yielding leadership to the square, then curly styling. But this year, the spit-cone is again in trend.
This hairstyle is perfect for little girls, beautiful girls, business women, and even retired women. With a straight, classic, angular, delicate spikelet, the head will always look elegant and spectacular. This hairstyle fits perfectly into the everyday image, and is ideal for any festive dress. And most importantly - for the whole day this hairstyle does not get loose, the hair behaves obediently. And after unraveling the braid, beautiful waves are produced on the head.
Before unraveling - the spike must be done. "Recipe" simple spikelet:
1) comb the hair for a long time and with high quality so that the hair goes to the hair.
2) to divide all hair into two equal parts.
3) determine the point of the beginning of the spikelet and take there a small strand of hair, then another strand from the left half, and a third from the right half of the hair.
4) and begin to weave like a regular braid: imposing alternately the right strand on the middle one, and then the left strand on the middle one.
5) repeat the application of strands in the main braid 2-3 times, then in the main weaving alternately from the right and left halves we add free strands - that is, we add a free strand to our main right strand and impose them on the middle one, then do the same with the left ones strands.
6) it is important to remember that the strands must be of equal volume, otherwise inaccurate weaving may turn out.
7) continue to weave until all the strands are woven into the braid, then we finish the hair either in the technique of the classic braid or in the fishtail weaving method. And the hairstyle is ready.
Step-by-step instructions for beginners
Spit-cone is the basis for all sorts of hairstyles. At the base of the spikelet, you can make a zigzag, a wreath around the head, a double spikelet, and a Russian braid. Yes, even the present macrame of patterned braided strands and braids. But for beginners in a koltoplepletenii it is best to start with the simplest. For someone, it will be easiest to make a spikelet. For others, it may seem more convenient if weaving on the right or left side.
In fact, the instruction for beginners is no different from the recommendations above. The procedure is similar. Only small additions are possible:
- each strand, before braiding, is best to comb several times, so that the hair lay down neatly, and there were no "scallops".
- Before starting to weave hair, it would be good to practice on thin ropes to work out the movements of the fingers. Because if you immediately practice on the hair, the strands will be confused and this can deliver a lot of unpleasant sensations to the model, and even the one who weaves will make you pretty jittery.
- It would be nice to see a few different lessons, study the article diagrams, and only then, practically, choose the most suitable method for kolotopleteniya.
- it is also possible at the initial stage to actively use elastic bands - it will be easy to separate the strands and manipulate with the hair.
- it would be nice to put the mirrors in order to be able to evaluate the weaving in the process, and, if necessary, make adjustments immediately so that you do not completely redo everything.
How to weave a spikelet itself
To make a spikelet itself requires a decent portion of patience and time, but when you get comfortable, and all movements will be brought to automatism, it will take very little time for a ringing.
At first, crocodile hair clips will be very useful - they will help you not to be confused with the strands. Such a fix is useful if the hair is long. If the hair is thin, then before braiding, they should be washed with a special shampoo, which gives volume. In order for the spit-cone to look beautiful, mousse or foam is also used to add volume.
Strands can be twisted tight or loose. For the first option will need studs, rubber bands, hairpins, varnish for strong or medium fixation. In the second case, you can do without fixing, and then the styling will look slightly careless, but at the same time impart a certain charm. Personally, I had the best weaving from the temple - an oblique spikelet along the entire length of the hair.
For independent mating, it is best to first master one species - a simple ordinary spikelet, and only then master more complex varieties. In general, it is not recommended to wear the same hairstyle every day - otherwise the hair will break. You can do this: today, for example, weave a beautiful straight braid, tomorrow, we can make an original spikelet of 4 strands on our heads (the type of weaving is similar, only the strands are interlaced under the two main ones). The day after tomorrow to make a popular weave of two spikelets. The next time the correct weaving of three braids, or cross, or add tape. The field for experiments with images is the greatest.
