Simple elegance: how to braid your braid inside out

Weaving braids is not only fun, but also a useful activity: such an element can add a twist to any hairstyle - from austere to casual. And for this it is not at all necessary to study especially complex technologies like weaving from 4 or more strands. Even a classic braid can be presented in an unusual way - for example, it can be done inside out. How to weave such a braid? What are some tricks to keep your job clean and perfect, even without a lot of skill?

A master class for weaving braids in reverse

The general creation technology is identical to that of the classic 3-strand braid: the alternation of the central and side parts remains unchanged, but their direction of movement changes.

It is recommended to try to work with the entire mass of hair at once, but without increasing the volume, as is done for the "dragon": so the strands will become less tangled, and the final result will be cleaner.

Before weaving the braid inside out, it is recommended to carefully comb the hair and moisturize it: such a step will reduce electrification and make the curls more obedient.

1. Divide the entire mass of hair into 3 equal parts, smooth each of them.
2. Bring the right strand under the middle one, crossing it with it, pull them in different directions.
3. Mirror the action: wind the left strand under the one that is now the middle one, and pull too.
4. Repeat the process, alternating between the right and left sides, all the way to the tip. Secure it with a rubber band to match your hair or dress.

The only thing that can really make it difficult to weave on the contrary is the unusual position of the hands, but this is only a matter of time. Otherwise, the work is so simple that an inverted braid is obtained the first time.

But it is worth considering some nuances:

• If your hair is very frizzy and you want to get a smooth and neat hairstyle, after moisturizing, treat the strands with a small amount of mousse (a ball the size of a walnut to the length of the shoulder blades). The only moment is to choose a product without fixation, otherwise it will glue the hairs together, and after a while it will become impossible to weave a braid.
• Having trouble doing a clean hairstyle from the back? Start working from the side - throw the entire mass of hair over your shoulder and proceed according to the technology described above. Once the hands have memorized all the steps, you can try to repeat them without looking.

Weaving a Dutch braid: tricks and recommendations

The French version is considered to be the strands stacked on top of each other with a gradual lateral addition, and those brought under each other with the same lateral "increment" are called Dutch - or dutch braid.

It is recommended to try to weave such a braid upside down after the hands understand the algorithm of work without introducing new strands. It is already difficult to see anything here, and all that remains is to trust the muscle memory.

1. Separate a small, wide part in the front zone from the total mass of hair, moisturize it well and divide it into 3 equal shares.
2. Bring the right strand under the middle one, crossing them, then do the same on the left side.
3. Holding not only the separated strands, but also the place of their meeting in the center, grab with your free fingers on the right part of the hair 1 wide of the existing strand, add to the one that is currently on the right and bring it under the middle one, crossing them.
4. Do the same on the left: pick up a strand equal to the existing side hair from the free mass of hair, wind them together under the central one.
5. Continue adding loose curls until you run out. Then weave your braid back and forth from the resulting wide strands and fix it.

Such a hairstyle looks especially attractive if the tail (from the back of the head) is hidden inward, securing it with hairpins and invisibility. With very long hair (up to the waist), you can twist the bun, and so that it does not look too simple, links along the entire length pull to the sides thereby making the weaving more airy and voluminous.

An important nuance: when creating a Danish braid inside out, pick up the strands at the same level: if the part above the ear was taken on the right, it should be located in the same place on the left.

There are no rules for the distribution of free canvas, but professionals recommend first grabbing the extreme curls, and then, when they run out, move to the middle line.

Inverted braid on the side: unusual and graceful

On the above options for the idea of ​​braids, vice versa do not end: they can be shifted to either side, wrapped over the head, added with small elements to other hairstyles. If we talk about a gradual increase in the level of difficulty, of course, Dutch weaving will be followed by lateral version of it.

The steps are identical to what was described earlier, but there are a few significant points.

• The beginning of the hairstyle is also taken in the upper front zone, from where the curls are immediately thrown to the chosen side and begin to cross under each other.
• New strands from the side opposite to the one where the hairstyle is located, it is advisable not to pull too much - they look much more attractive when they lie free, with slight sagging.

Learning to weave braids from 3 strands, on the contrary, is no more difficult than their classic variations, and after mastering this technology, you can try to turn out 4 strands or more. However, for inversion, it is important to master traditional patterns so that the muscles remember the movements even in a dream.
