English Braid
English braid is a traditional hairstyle, popular amongst the women in
the Great Britain since a very long time. This is a very simple,
three-strand plait hairdo. After combing the hair toward the nape of the
neck, it is divided into three equal segments. A simple
left-over-middle and right-over-middle action is used to make the braid.
French Braid
French braid makes use of an extra segment of hair. In this popular
hairstyle, a technique similar to the English braid is used to stylize
the hair. While doing the French braid, one section of hair is taken
from the hairline at the forehead and two sections are taken from either
side of the head, to make the braid. When you make the plaits, make
sure that the hair is not braided too tightly.
Dutch Braid
Dutch braid is the inverted form of the popular French braid. The Dutch
braid is made by crossing the outside strand of hair under the center
strand, which is known as the left-under-middle and right-under-middle
technique. This hairdo should also be done by taking strands from either
side of the head.
Swiss Braid
While making the Swiss braid, the hair is divided into two halves, by
parting it centre, right down to the nape of the neck. The left-hand
side segment of the hair is braided into simple three-strand plaits.
After securing the ends with an
elastic band, the braid is taken on to the left side and curled around
the head, up past the right ear and back to where it started. The
right-hand hair segment is braided in the same form and is curled in the
opposite direction. They are then joined around the head and pinned to form a kind of crown.
Rope Braid
It is very simple to make rope braids, although the hairstyle looks
complicated. The braids are made with wet hair, preferably. To start
with, the hair is pulled back into a ponytail. After securing it with an elastic band, the ponytail is divided into two strands. Now, each of the segment is twisted clockwise to give the appearance
of a rope. The right section of the hair is wrapped counter clockwise
over the left hair segment, tightly. You repeat the process until the
end of the ponytail is reached.
Multi-Strand Braid
The number of strands used in multi-strand braid hairstyle ranges from
five to nine. The complicated hairstyle should be done with a lot of
patience, since it is hard to keep the hairdo neat. The technique used to make multi-strand braid is the simple left-over-middle and right-over-middle.
