Hairstyle, in which the braid is laid in the form of a halo around the head, it is customary to call Halo, and it is played in several ways. There is an opinion that a three-dimensional braid around the head is obtained only if the hair is long and thick. However, there is a tricky way to create such a hairstyle, even if they barely reach the shoulders.
Weaving the traditional braid around the head
To begin with, consider an option that suits ladies with thick and long curls (below the shoulder blades). The braid of Halo in this case is braided very simply: first - like a regular braid at the base of the occiput, and then - wrapped around the head and fixed. The length of the hair should be enough to make the braid make a full circle, and the tip of it hid on the back of the head in the place where we started the weaving.
To the thickness of the braid was the same, in the lower part of it it is necessary to loosen the tension of the strands.
For owners of rare hair such a hair style is not suitable, and now we will consider a clever scheme of weaving braids around the head. True, before you need to practice on a regular spikelet .
How to make a braid around the head?
Hair needs to be combed and divided in two, fixing one part of the elastic band. If the head is washed before creating a hairstyle, Halo will turn out to be fluffy. To create a more rigorous image with smoothed strands, you should use a gel.
- Choose three locks on the back of the head and begin to weave a French braid around the head (it's more correct to call it Dutch because the strands do not hide, forming spikes, but go outward, forming a traditional braid).
- We move from the back of the head to the top of the head, adding new strands to the braid on the left and right.
- When the braid is weaved to the parting, we spread the hair taken away by the elastic band and continue the weaving in a circle, moving from the forehead to the back of the head. If you make a Halo braid not to someone but to yourself, then after moving to the second side of the head you will feel that the movements of the hands at the interweaving of the three strands have changed - this is normal.
- When all the strands are already woven into the French braid, we finish it, as usual Russian, and fix the tip with an invisible rubber band.
- Turn the free end of the braid around the head.
- The thin end of the pigtail should be hidden under the French braid (from the side with which weaving began). To the volume of strands was uniform, the French braid in some places can be expanded, stretching strands. This method is appropriate if the hair is sparse: the braid will still look broad.
- We fix invisible spike tip on the vertex or in the place where its length ends.
- Hairstyle is ready. As you can see, weaving a braid around the head is easy, but if you have never worked with a spikelet or a Dutch pigtail, difficulties may arise, which, however, disappear after a short practice.
How else to braid a braid around the head?
Quite an interesting version of weaving - it's still the same spikelet, in which locks hide inside the hair. Then Halo turns into a kind of basket.
If you collect the tail on the vertex, leaving about the same number of strands around it (around the entire circumference of the head), you can weave the basket itself - the left strands are taken from the tail, the right strands are taken from the free hair. The scheme of weaving the braid around the head can be both French and Dutch.
Decoration of the spit
Very delicately look ribbons woven into the braid: they are fixed at the base and added to one or two strands. In addition, they impart a hairstyle to strength.
A romantic image will help to create flowers stuck into the surround braid around the head or stilettos with beautiful tips.
Halo or basket - the ideal basis for wedding hairstyles, which can be supplemented with the most original ornaments.
