How do girls and women see their braids? Rich, voluminous, beautiful, neat and effective, making an indelible impression and sinking into memory.

In order to make your braid look like this, you should answer a few questions:

How to weave voluminous braids? How to weave a voluminous braid correctly?

How to make any braid look voluminous? How to braid a voluminous braid on short or medium length hair?

How to make an evening voluminous braid: spikelet, French or reverse?

And I would like to know these braiding options in 2 versions: on myself and on the model. How to weave voluminous braids on sparse hair?

Large voluminous French braid

Raise the hair on the top of the head and pin it with bobby pins.
Comb the side strands.
Separate a strand and braid a regular French braid, gradually adding new strands to the braid.
Fluff the resulting braid, stretching its segments.

Hairstyles with braids for long hair

For those with thick and long hair, any hairstyle with braids is perfect. There are many different weaving options. A beautiful spikelet, an inverted braid or a voluminous braid with elongated strands will perfectly complete the look in any life situation. This can be a casual, festive or evening option. For an evening walk, a beautiful weave in the form of a snake around the entire head is perfect, while the main strands are left loose. It is necessary to note the option of a hairstyle with a braid, which is perfect for both evening and everyday looks. A classic French braid with bangs that flows smoothly into a ponytail will give you a feminine and attractive look when done with an even or side parting. A braid braided from bottom to top using side strands looks interesting and impressive.

Volumetric braid on the tail

Make a tail on the side.
Separate the top half from it and tie it with an elastic band so that it is slightly lower than the first.
Divide the hair between two elastic bands and insert the second half of the ponytail into the middle, like a loop.
Tie it so that the third elastic band is lower than the second.
Form a ring between the elastic bands and insert the other half.
Do this along the entire length.
Fluff the braid, strongly pulling out parts of the resulting rings.

Volume braid in Greek style

Curl your hair and separate the curls.
Leave some of the curls at the bottom and pin the rest at the top so they don’t get in the way.
Separate a small strand on each side, tie with a silicone elastic band and fluff the hair over it.
Tie these strands together and fluff the hair between the elastic bands.
Braid it into a loose braid with the remaining curls below, and tie it again with an elastic band.
Gradually release the curls pinned on top and lay them beautifully on the braid, securing with hairpins and hairspray.
Leave thin curled bangs on one side.

Side Braid Hairstyles

This braid can be the main hairstyle, or it can only be a base for another hairstyle. For example, oblique weaving will allow you to remove overgrown bangs from your forehead or simply secure interfering strands at the top, and the remaining hair can be gathered into a ponytail or bun using a special hairdressing “donut”.

Another option for removing the hair remaining after braiding at the bottom or at the crown level is to make flowers out of it. This was discussed earlier; such a flower can be made virtually anywhere on the head. To do this, you need to braid the braid to the end, simultaneously pulling out its ribs for volume, but only on one side.

Then the weaving needs to be secured with an elastic band and rolled into several spirals outward with the side from which the strands were pulled. When the braid is curled so that it really resembles a rose, it needs to be secured with hairpins and bobby pins. The thicker the braid, the larger the flower you will get.

And the easiest option is to leave the strands loose. Typically, braiding is done on only one part of the hair. For example, a braid with a tie is woven in front in the form of a headband, then at the level of the temple or ear it is fixed with an elastic band at the roots. This way, you get a kind of headband of your own strands, thanks to which they do not get into your eyes.

Royal fishtail

Grab two small strands at the temple and begin to weave a French fishtail from the side, adding new strands.
After every few weaves, fluff up the braid, carefully and symmetrically pulling thin strands out of the fishtail.
Moving to the upper earlobe, tie the ponytail with a thin elastic band in the same color as your hair.
Divide the bottom of the hair into two halves.
From the farthest half of the already braided fishtail, separate a small strand from the edge and twist it into a rope.
Connect the plait with the second half of the hair.
From the part closest to the braided fishtail, separate the outermost strand and transfer it to the other half.
Continuing to weave in this manner, form a large “fishtail” along the entire length of the hair, not forgetting to fluff it periodically.

Modern design techniques used in weaving

In recent years, braided hairstyles have received the most unexpected interpretation. However, any design techniques are, in fact, improved ethnic versions of the Russian, European and Oriental versions:

“French waterfall”: resembles the usual one or two braids, starting at the temples and ending at the back of the head; however, each lower strand is released into “free floating” and falls freely onto the back. The hairstyle can have all sorts of variations: be asymmetrical, go over any part of the head, sag, etc. It can be used even on short hair;

knot braid: two strands are connected to each other using a series of knots; in this case, both part of the hair can be woven (one or two small knots are used as a kind of decoration), or its entire volume;
Lino Russo: a combination of knots and the “spikelet” technique. After each knot, new hairs are added to the already selected strands; for such a hairstyle, the hair must be cut evenly and be the same along the entire length;
“snake”: a regular French braid is not located along one line, but meanders over the entire surface of the head; may have 2-3 or more spreads;
“basket”: part of the hair on the top of the head is gathered into a high ponytail, then a regular French braid is woven from the temple with alternate addition of strands from the ponytail and free hair;

Features of liquid hair

Stylists recommend medium length for girls with thin straight and curly hair. The strands should cover the earlobes and reach shoulder level, this will greatly simplify the care and styling process. Hair is prone to tangling, splits easily, and breaks.

They are also susceptible to loss, especially when using aggressive dyes, curling irons, or hair dryers. Therefore, curls require special attention; care is aimed at protecting and preserving the stem structure.

Hairdressers recommend using professional tricks to achieve the effect of thick, voluminous hair:

Shampoos labeled “for volume” are used, and you should also pay attention to conditioners for compacting the structure. Wash only with cool water; hot water easily damages the keratin shell.
You need to dry your hair with slightly damp, but not wet hair. Throw your head forward, holding the hair dryer at a distance of 15 cm from the root area. You can also use a brushing comb.
Dyeing is an easy way to add thickness to thin, sparse strands. Vertical highlighting and coloring techniques are used, as well as modern shatush and balayage. The combination of several shades not only creates volume, but also advantageously emphasizes the main color. It is better to use light colors in the area of the crown and crown, dark ones - at the tips and on the face.
It is recommended to curl straight curls before creating a weave or styling. Combing will also help your hair look full, but using it too often can cause damage to your hair.
For volume, soft curlers are used; you can braid braids at the roots or dry the root area with a brush. Among styling products, mousse, foam, and powder are used, which have additional fixation properties.
Popular haircuts for sparse, thin hair are bobs and bobs of varying lengths. It is worth giving preference to careless styling; neat hair-to-hair hairstyles focus attention on the lack of volume. You can find out what is special about bob haircuts for thin hair on our website.

Secrets to achieving incredible volume

Volume braids help those with thin, thin and sparse curls to create the appearance of thick, thick and rich hair.

Absolutely any braid can be made very large. There are special methods for this, which we will consider in detail. Find out which of them are harmless, how to perform them correctly and which to give preference to.

Such braids are contraindicated for girls who have had a ladder or cascade haircut. Due to uneven growth, the hairs will become very loose from the overall structure and spoil the appearance of the hairstyle.

Braids

The safest method that does not injure your hair at all and will allow you to weave voluminous braids without difficulty. Suitable for any length and density of curls.

The main rule is that the smaller the braids, the more voluminous the hair will be in the morning.

It is best to braid your hair on slightly damp hair, or apply one of the styling products: foam, mousse or structuring cream.
Divide your head into small square zones and braid each one.
Having reached the ends as far as possible, tie with a silicone elastic band.

Minuses:

a large number of braids takes quite a long time, from 30 to 60 minutes;
it is impossible to curl the tips, and they will remain straight; moreover, the size of the wave will decrease from the root down.

Corrugated

The method is noticeably faster than the previous one. There are attachments that allow you to select the desired wave size.

Before starting the procedure, be sure to wash your hair and dry it completely. Do not crimp on wet hair!

Use thermal protection.
Process the entire head, separating narrow strands of a width suitable for the available device.

To get mega voluminous braids, apply dry shampoo or special powder to the roots.

Bouffant

Use it independently only when there is no time to wait a long time for the effect, and there is no corrugated curling iron at hand. It is often used as an additional means in combination with previous methods of adding volume.

Incorrectly done combing can damage the hair structure and make it brittle. Especially not recommended for long hair.

Stretching the links

How to weave a voluminous braid without this? No way. You must use one of the following methods:

plucked, in which only the outermost lateral part is extended;
full stretch of the link.

It is necessary to pull out the weaving elements gradually during the braiding process. When finished, go over the entire length again, starting from the tip. Do this evenly, as in the picture.

Curls with clips or extensions

Short shoulder-length hair or even a short haircut can look like Rapunzel thanks to these two methods. Both methods are not cheap, because high-quality false hair cannot cost little, and low-quality curls will not last long and will be visually different from your natural hair.

Hairpins or tresses will lengthen and increase the volume one time, and you will carry out the extensions for two or three months before correction.

Kanekalon

The bright synthetic material, which girls love very much, will add simply breathtaking volume. Suitable for those with short haircuts (at least 10 cm). Read the article on how to properly weave Kanekalon into braids.

Volume braid with ribbon

Create good volume on the crown.
Choose a ribbon that contrasts in color with your hair.
Lay the tape along the forehead so that there are ends on both sides - one short and the other long.
Tie the ends of the ribbon under the hair at the base of the neck.
Divide your hair in half and wrap one half (bottom) with a ribbon.
Then wrap the ribbon around the other half.
Then again the first, again the second and so on along the entire length of the hair.
All this is done with the long end, and the short one always remains in the middle between the hair.
Make the braid voluminous by pulling the hair in between the ribbon rings.

Romantic voluminous braid of curls

Curl your hair using a curling iron or curlers and separate the curls.

Comb a strand on the top of your head, lift it and pin it.

Place the upper part of the curls beautifully over the head, pinning them with hairpins.

Using three small strands taken from the bottom of your hair, make a braid.

Place the remaining hair one by one on the braid, fluffing and pinning.

Shell

It is worth noting that the shell option is suitable for almost all hair types, even if they are weak and thin. It is noteworthy that from an everyday “shell” hairstyle, you can instantly make a festive version by adding a few beautiful hairpins, a bright hoop or other suitable hair accessories.

How to make a “shell” with your own hands?

Comb your hair. Secure them with bobby pins so that they stick well, and spray them with varnish. Next, gather your hair into a ponytail and try to twist it very tightly in the opposite direction. In other words, if you combed your curls to the right, then you need to twist them to the left, and vice versa.

Hide what is left in the resulting shell and secure it with several hairpins. Using a few more pins, tuck all the loose hair into the resulting shell.

This is a classic version of the shell. By the way, this hairstyle would look very appropriate in a work environment. But if you want an everyday and practical option, then it can be easily modernized: the remaining tail does not need to be removed. Then you get a completely fashionable and casual style.

Exquisite six-strand voluminous braid

Separate small strands at the forehead, comb them and spray with hairspray.
Make an even side parting and comb your hair to one side.
Divide your hair into three equal parts, pull the strand closest to your face back and pin it up.
Divide the rest of the hair into three strands.
On the third weave, separate a thin strand from the outermost component of the braid and put it aside.

Braid the braid along its entire length, leaving a thin strand from the outer edge.
Undo the next part of the hair, periodically leaving strands as on the first, but only from the inner edge.
Undo the last part of the hair, divide it in half and begin to weave a spikelet, throwing thin strands from one half to the other one by one.
Periodically, as we weave, add the strands left in the previous braids to the spikelet (on the side where the braid is located), thus connecting all three braids to each other.
Carefully fluff all three braids so that they appear as one whole. Curl the end of the braid and bangs.

This voluminous and airy braid, based on the French braiding method, is called the most feminine and romantic hairstyle of this year. Learning to weave it is not at all difficult. You just need to follow these steps:

Throw all the hair to one side, where the finished braid will lie.
Divide them into two zones.
Separate the topmost strand and divide it into 3 parts.
Throw the left strand over the middle one in one direction, and the right one in the other.
Repeat until the third weave.
Then you need to add the remaining strands of hair to the braid, choosing them of the same thickness.
When braiding, keep the braid positioned on its side.
Weave all the hair into a braid and finish it with a standard three-strand braid.
Tie the end of the braid with an elastic band.

To make the braid airy, you need to slightly pull the strands out of it, thereby creating a visual volume of the hair. Finally, you need to spray the braid with varnish.

Purpose

Hairstyles with braids for short hair, like others, must correspond to their purpose. Some are for everyday wear, others are more suitable for the evening, as well as for a holiday.

At the same time, colored unnatural strands can radically change the appearance.

To create long braids, for example, in the African style, you can even use ordinary threads.

At the same time, the girl herself temporarily forgets that she has a short haircut.

Some braided hairstyles can be done by yourself, while others require outside help.

Everyday

For everyday wear, you can make two braids in the form of spikelets. This method is good because when braiding, short strands are well fixed.

It’s not at all difficult to do this hairstyle yourself.

Using a vertical parting, divide your hair into two parts. Select three strands, make the first two transitions, as in a regular braid, and then weave all the hair into a spikelet. Secure with an elastic band. Do the same with the second half of the hair.

Braids can be closer to the central parting or located on the sides. For very short hair, narrow rows of braids can be made using this method. The hairstyle, depending on the location of the weave, changes its appearance, and with it the image of the girl as a whole.

You can diversify your everyday hairstyle by braiding your bangs.

Divide the selected strand into three parts and cross them, as for a regular braid. Now you need to attach hair from the mass allocated for weaving to the strand that is located further from the face. Bring the braid to your ear and secure with an elastic band. (You can use silicone, which is practically invisible on the hair). To prevent the braid from hanging, it is attached to the main body of hair with an invisible one.

It is not difficult to braid short hair with flagella. This hairstyle will look elegant. Suitable even for a mature woman.

The step-by-step weaving scheme looks like this:

just above the temple, select two strands of equal thickness;
twist one clockwise, the other counterclockwise, then twist tightly together;
weave further, adding strands to the strand on both sides in the manner of a spikelet and continuing to intertwine the two main strands;

fix the weaving in the middle of the head at the back;
make another tourniquet on the opposite side of the head using the same method;
connect both braids and adjust the ends so that they do not stick out;
if the length of the hair allows, form a bun, including curled hair in it.

Braids can be braided like a crown around the head if the hair is long enough for this. It is necessary to divide the entire mass of hair into two parts with a horizontal parting. Weave the front part with an inverted French braid (this method of weaving is also called Dutch).

The strands are wound under the central strand from below, and not placed on top, as in a regular braid. The braiding is done from ear to ear. The braid is secured with an elastic band. Another braid is performed in the same way - through the back of the head. Both of them are connected, the ends of the hair are hidden and secured with hairpins.

With their help, they create a textured braid or several on different parts of the head, if the hair length is minimal. The principle of weaving is simple.

Separate a small strand and collect it in a ponytail, pointing it forward. Immediately behind it, gather a strand of the same thickness into another ponytail.

Spread the strands of the first one to the sides, and throw the second tail forward through the formed path, hooking it with a clip so that it does not return to its original position. Bring the strands of the first ponytail back. For the third ponytail, select the strands again and connect them into a ponytail along with two parts of the first.

Then divide the third tail in two, and throw the second tail back through the resulting “passage”. Do this and connect ponytails as long as your hair length allows. At the end, secure with an elastic band and complete the hairstyle.

If there is absolutely no time to create a hairstyle, and your hair allows you to braid it from the temple to the middle of the back of the head, it is convenient to make two “ribbons” from thin strands and connect them with an elastic band. The result is a comfortable hairstyle, thanks to which your hair will not get into your eyes during the day.

Evening

Evening hairstyles are not so different in complexity from everyday hairstyles. You have to pay a little more attention to their creation, focusing on details. Thanks to this, the styling is perceived as more elegant.

Even if your hair is barely 10 centimeters long, you can create original evening hairstyles with a fishtail braid. The braid can be positioned however you like:

around the circumference;
vertical or horizontal;
diagonally;
zigzag.

You need to choose two fairly voluminous strands of the same thickness in the part of the head where the weaving will begin. Let's call them 1 and 2. A thin strand is selected from the free mass of hair on side 1 and transferred to the selected part of hair 2. Then the same thin strand is selected from the mass of hair on the side of part 2 and connected to 1.

In this way the weaving is brought to the desired location. The ends of the hair are fixed with an elastic band and hidden under the rest, or they are formed into a figure resembling a flower, pinned with hairpins or other fixatives, depending on the characteristics of the haircut and hair.

To give your hairstyle a delicate look, you can pull them out of the braid with your fingers or the handle of a ponytail comb.

Using braids for short hair, if the haircut is not quite boyish, you can style your hair in a “waterfall”.

To begin with, they should be thoroughly combed. Make curls on them using a curling iron, flat iron or round comb (diffuser). Thanks to this, the “waterfall” will be more spectacular.

At the temple, select a thin strand and divide it into three parts of equal thickness.

Start braiding like a regular three-strand braid. From the desired distance, start creating a waterfall shape. Throw the top strand down and leave it hanging freely. Instead, select another of the hairs in the free mass below the braid and weave it in. In this way, bring the braid to the other temple through the back of the head, and fix the braid on the side.

You can weave a “waterfall” only to the middle, securing the hair with an elastic band and pinning it to the main body of hair with a small hair clip. Another good option is to weave two braids with the strands facing each other.

Hair that does not reach medium length can be styled in braids like “chains.” It also turns out elegant. You need to select two strands at the temple and tie a loose knot from them. Next, include additional strands in the braiding, as in a spikelet, bringing the braid to the desired location. At the end, style your hair beautifully and secure it with an elastic band, bobby pins or hairpins.

Holidays

An evening hairstyle automatically turns into a festive one with all kinds of accessories. It could be:

diadem;
a bright, richly textured hairpin;
hairpins with decorations in the form of stones, flowers, etc.;
bride's veil;
wreath;
elegant headband;
ribbons and bows.

Holiday hairstyles are also decorated with sparkles and chignons are used to add volume to the hairstyle.

You can braid your hair using any of the methods suggested above, strengthen it with hairpins with designer decorations - and a festive hairstyle is ready for any occasion.

Volumetric braids of different lengths

Modern interpretations of weaving are varied and appropriate in combination with various outfits - cocktail, evening and everyday. This hairstyle is suitable for long and medium hair, as well as to correct the shape of a triangular, round, square or rectangular face. The master, depending on the task at hand, can choose a hairstyle that is suitable for a specific type of appearance.

The combination of weaving with fleece and waves of various textures looks especially impressive. For an evening out, accessories in the form of flowers and ribbons are used.

For long hair

Weaving can be done using various techniques. Openwork, French braids, fishtails, spikelets and other techniques allow you to create a huge number of hairstyles.

For medium length

Medium hair is considered the most common. This length provides many variations of hairstyles that can be created using weaves.

Large voluminous four-strand braid

The braid is woven according to the pattern below.

More precisely:

A thin braid is braided on the side, which will act as the fourth strand.
Three more strands are separated next to the braid (two on one side and one on the other).
A braid is made of 4 strands, that is, the third (pink) strand (counting from left to right) is placed on the second (green).
Then the first (blue) strand is placed on the former third (pink) strand.
Then under the former second (green) you need to put the fourth (yellow) strand.
Do the same steps along the entire length of the braid, not forgetting to add new strands of unused hair to the braid at each weave along the edges.
Moving down, you need to pull out the outer sections of the braid so that it becomes voluminous and openwork.

Voluminous braids are a wonderful beauty tool that can turn the most ordinary woman into a queen.

Weaving a volumetric spikelet

The classic version of weaving a spikelet is not particularly pompous. Therefore, when creating a hairstyle with a voluminous braid, you need to use small tricks. To make it look lush, you need to properly comb your hair in the root zone. This will make the image romantic and feminine.

Before making a voluminous braid, you need to wash your hair with shampoo and dry it with a hairdryer. Then you should proceed directly to weaving the spikelet:

Hair is combed thoroughly.
Then you should separate the first strand from the top of your head and divide it into two parts.
Then cross them together.
With your left hand, take a loose strand from the same side and reunite it with the main part of your hair.
Repeat the same movement on the right side.
Cross the strands again, capturing the same amount of new hair on each side.
Weave the spikelet in this way until all the hair is gone.
Finish the braiding using a three-strand method and secure the end of the braid with an elastic band.

To make the finished braid voluminous, you need to slightly stretch each of its sections with your fingers.

Who is it suitable for?

Hairstyles with voluminous braids are often done on thick hair. This way you can give them luxury and airiness. In addition, styling can be used in other cases:

Little princesses, young fashionistas, ladies of Balzac's age.
Slender young ladies with miniature shapes. Technology helps correct figure imperfections.
Girls with a round face shape. The bulk of the volume should be distributed on the crown and crown.
Ladies who have a diamond-shaped, triangular, elongated face. It is permissible to work with different weaving techniques.

Two voluminous braids for medium hair are suitable for different stylistic trends.

Hairstyles with braids for prom

Using braids, you can create stylish and spectacular updo hairstyles suitable for prom. They go great with open dresses and tops with spaghetti straps.

Clean hair is treated with mousse, lightly combed at the roots and gathered into a high ponytail at the top of the head. Rollers are placed on both sides of the base and secured with pins. Using your hands, form an even ring from the rollers.

The strands in the ponytail are divided into several parts and woven into simple braids, securing the ends with thin elastic bands. The roller is wrapped in braids, the ends are tucked inward and secured with hairpins. The base of the lush knot can be decorated with a satin ribbon to match the dress or a string of light beads.

Advice. High styling looks impressive with long jardinier earrings.

Braided hairstyles for medium hair are an excellent solution for everyday wear and special occasions. They are easy to braid at home. It’s better to start with the simplest options; after several training sessions in front of the mirror, you will definitely be pleased with the results.
