African pigtails - hit little and big girls
They look beautiful, and their exotic look will help emphasize the beauty and personality of the braid owner, and most importantly - they do not harm the hair. It is also worth mentioning the universality of this kind of braiding. They will not only fit almost any look, but will suit both small and large girls.
What threads are suitable for African braids?
The correct weaving of colored threads for weaving afro braids is very important, because their strength and style are directly dependent on the threads. The color and style of the threads can be anything, everything depends on the imagination and sense of style of the happy owner of such a hairstyle.
Important! Natural threads will not be a good idea, especially if you plan a trip to the resort. Such threads quickly fade in the sun, and sit on contact with water, which harms not only the hair, but also the hair.
It is worth warning right away that the process of creating such a hairstyle is very long and laborious, but it is definitely worth the time spent. There are several types of African braids, and all of them can be done at home.
First you need to comb your hair and the better it is done, the easier it will be to work with hair in the future:
- Then you should separate a small strand of hair, it is important that all the strands are approximately the same, otherwise the hairstyle will look uneven.
- Take a few strands 20-30 centimeters longer than the hair and tie a knot at the roots of the hair of the taken strand.
- Divide the strand into three equal parts and attach a pair of threads to all.
- Braid hair and thread.
- Fasten the pigtail with silicone rubber or tie a knot at the end of the pigtail, cut the remaining threads.
- Repeat the process with all the strands.
