Braiding with 5 strands. How to weave a five-strand braid according to the pattern (for beginners)

As you know, hairstyle is the finishing touch to creating the perfect evening look. You can leave your hair hanging freely along your back, twisting it into beautiful curls, or braid it in an openwork lace braid. Braided hairstyles are so popular that they can be seen almost everywhere now - in movies, on television, in magazines, etc.

By looking through the galleries of evening hairstyles with braided elements, you can decide which hairstyle you like best. It is worth thinking about the image in advance, because it is possible that the chosen style only looks good in photographs.

When you do a 3-strand French braid, everything is clear. The 5-strand braid is a little more complicated because you need to use five strands instead of three. After a little training and technique analysis, weaving this magnificent braid will not be difficult.

Wherever you appear with this hairstyle, you will receive many compliments, because the braid looks unusual and voluminous.

To work with coarse hair, it is advisable to use gel-wax or styling product in the form of a spray. This will also make the strands clearer and make the braiding process easier.

A five-strand braid is created like a French braid and should run diagonally along the entire head, creating an openwork effect. You will need the help of a friend, or perhaps you yourself will want to practice on one of your family.

Comb your hair well; it should not get tangled while working.

The braid will start above the right ear and end below the left ear.

Step 1. Select a small section of hair on the right. Divide it into 3 parts, as when weaving a regular braid.

Step 2. Move strand 1 over strand 2, then 3 over 1.

Step 3. Separate strand 4 to the left of the main braid.

Step 4. Place strand 4 under 2, then over 3, like a checkerboard weave.

Step 5. Select another strand at the right temple, for a total of 5 strands. Place section 5 under 1 and above 4.

The main part for weaving is the one with three strands, i.e. with strands No. 2, 3, 5.

Step 6. We work with it: we put strand 2 under 3 and over 5.

Step 7. Raise section 3 up.

Step 8. We make a new pick-up on the left.

Step 9. Add a tieback to strand 2.

Step 10. Lower strand 3. Now we work with the main section of three strands: No. 2, 4, 1.

Step 11. Remove strand 4 up.

Step 12. We pick up a new strand from the right and add it to section 1. We place strand 1 above 2 and under 3. We lower section 4.

We pull out the sides of the five-strand braid to create a beautiful lace effect. Delicacy can be added as the weaving progresses.

We braid the braid to the end and tie it with an elastic band. We decorate to your taste.

Recently, it has become very fashionable to wear a braided hairstyle. There are many variations of braiding and many are quite simple to perform and can be done at home. The 5-strand braid is one of the most interesting and fashionable in our time. Let's figure out what it is to weave a 5-strand braid.

Every girl is familiar with classic French. Our braid is woven using almost the same, but more complex technique of 5 strands. Many people think that it is very difficult to braid it, but appearances are deceiving and braiding it is as easy as shelling pears. It will take a little longer to braid a 5-strand braid than a classic French braid.

How to weave a five-strand braid?

The 5-strand braid hairstyle is braided in the same way as the French braid and is braided diagonally, starting from the forehead and ending at the ear line, gradually going down if the length of the hair allows. It will be quite difficult for yourself to do such a hairstyle for the first time. Remember that a 5-strand braid should only be done on clean and dry hair. It will be more difficult for girls with curly or curly hair to master braiding, so before starting the procedure, straighten your curls with an iron. On straight hair, a 5-strand braid will look much better.

Before you start weaving, you need to prepare the necessary tools:

  • massage comb. We will need it to thoroughly comb our hair and get rid of tangled curls.
  • light fixation varnish. By applying hairspray before braiding, you will prevent hair from falling out of your hairstyle.
  • a thin comb with fine teeth and a long shaft at the end to highlight the parting
  • an elastic band or a hairpin. Helps secure your braid
  • accessories for decorating hairstyles. They will help give your hair a more festive look.

Detailed instructions for weaving

If you are familiar with the classic three-strand braid, then the pattern for weaving a 5-strand braid will be approximately clear to you; all that remains is to clarify some of the nuances.

Step-by-step weaving technique

  1. Comb dry, clean hair thoroughly. A small nuance - if you
    If you want to get a tight braid, lightly wet your hair using a spray bottle filled with water.
  2. As you already know, a 5-strand braid starts from the side of the forehead and ends at the ear line. Separate a small part of the hair from the right or left side of the head.
    Divide the selected part of the hair into three identical pieces.
  3. After this, you need to place the first strand on the second, then on the third.
  4. Now we need to select a quarter of the hair on the left side of the resulting braid.
  5. After this, we put 4 tufts under the second, and then on top of the third,
    as if forming a checkerboard pattern.
  6. Then, near the temporal zone on the right side, we separate another, fifth strand. We pass it under the first and over the fourth. Our weaving continues using strands 2,3 and 5.
  7. It is necessary to place a second strand under the third and over the fifth.
  8. The third one is pulled up, and then we separate another part of the hair and
    add it to the second one. We lower the third strand down. Our weaving will now consist of strands 2,4 and 1.
  9. We lift the fourth clump up. Select a new part of the hair on the right side and place it next to the first strand. Then, you need to bring the first one over the second and thread it under the third. We lower the 4th strand down. Using this technology, we continue to weave as long as the length of the hair allows.

If you pull out the sides of the braid you will have 5 strands, some call it a 5 strand braid. We tie the finished braid with an elastic band and decorate it with accessories to suit your taste.

5-strand checkerboard braid

A 5-strand checkerboard braid is woven using ribbons. Once you start weaving such a braid, you must constantly pull it and prevent the ribbons from twisting. The maximum width of these patches should not exceed 1.5 cm.

Step-by-step technique for weaving a five-strand checkerboard

  1. Comb your hair so that there are no tangled strands left.
  2. Separate part of the hair from either the right or left side.
  3. We fold the finished ribbon in half, and attach the place where it is folded with an invisible pin to the separated hair.
  4. We divide the selected part of the hair into 3 identical parts, and in the interval between the second and third we stretch two ribbons that will replace the two missing strands.
  5. We start weaving a checkerboard braid from the leftmost strand. We thread it under the second, then we put it over the third strand of the ribbon, and then under the fourth strand of the ribbon.

In this technique we weave in exactly the same way on the other side. With each new turn we braid loose curls to the main hair. Strands located on the side do not need to be pulled tight. Only the tapes should be tight.

French five-strand braid all over the head

A 5-strand French braid can be positioned either in the middle of the head or diagonally.

  1. Comb your hair, then select three identical parts of hair on the top of your head
  2. Having made 1 turn of classic French weaving, we begin to gradually weave small strands from the sides. To make weaving more comfortable, lift strand number 2 located on the edge and lay it towards the opposite side.
  3. We braid a braid of 5 strands, gradually adding hairs as long as the length of the hair allows.
  4. We tie the end of the braid with an elastic band.
Using this technique you can braid two or more braids.

Hairstyle description

Hairdressing fantasy has no limits. In addition, there are many options for weaving braids from 4, 5, 6 and even 10 strands. According to one version, the authorship of hairstyles of incredible beauty and complexity belongs to the French. The original five-strand braid itself looks like a skillful alternation of curls, in which it is not always possible to visually determine the sequence of weaving. If you add a couple of ribbons to the installation, you get one of the particularly complex options - “Chess”. The pattern of this hairstyle resembles a checkered board.

The 5-strand braid showcases the luxury of long, thick hair. It can also be braided on medium-length curls. The ideal five-piece braid is obtained on smooth hair. Curly, curly hair is better beforehand. Thin ones can be treated with a nozzle for additional volume.

Who is it suitable for?

With this hairstyle you can appear in the office or at a party - you are guaranteed the attention of others. For a special event, decorate your braid with accessories: flowers, ribbons, beads, etc. However Due to the complex and time-consuming weaving, styling is not suitable for every day.

It is better to choose a five-strand braid for young women and teenage girls. The hairstyle on the head of a little girl with luxurious hair looks cute. There are no other restrictions. Do the styling with or without bangs, with different partings or smoothly combed back curls.

Creating a five-strand braid requires certain knowledge, skills and abilities. Therefore, use the following tips:

  1. First, learn how to braid someone's hair, and then move on to experimenting with your own hair.
  2. If you don't have a relative or friend with long hair, study the weaving pattern with woolen threads. For ease of memorization, take 5 multi-colored segments.
  3. When doing your own hair, place mirrors opposite each other to keep an eye on the hair on the back of your head.
  4. The weaving should not be tight.
  5. You are more likely to master the technology if you know how to weave.
  6. It is more convenient to braid medium-length curls, as well as cascading haircuts, after collecting the hair in a ponytail. Long strands can be styled in any way.
  7. Before braiding, moisten the strands with water or wax. The hair will become more manageable and will not become electrified.
  8. If your hair is tangled, gently comb it with a massage brush or shake the strand.
  9. If you set a goal to learn the technique of creating a 5-strand braid, practice daily training. The fingers will remember the movements, and soon the process will become automatic.
  10. In addition to an elastic band and a comb, you may need beautiful accessories (for example, a ribbon).

By the way. A 5-strand braid is a complex weave, so in Moscow salons hairdressers charge 500–700 rubles for this service. The price is determined by many factors and may be higher if your hair is very long or thick, etc.

Step-by-step instructions for beginners

There are several different patterns for weaving a 5-strand braid. Consider all the options and decide which one is easier and more affordable for you. It is believed that the easiest way to weave a pigtail is based on the tail. Thanks to the elastic band, the hair does not fall apart, so it is more convenient to hold it in two hands.

№1

Using this method, braiding is not very difficult:

  1. Comb damp hair.
  2. Pull it into a random ponytail: high, low, side.
  3. Divide all hair into 5 identical parts. Mentally number them from left to right.
  4. Place strand No. 1 (far left) over No. 2 and pass under No. 3.
  5. Place the fifth part (far right) on No. 4 and place it under what is considered the third at this stage (you will see that this is the “former” strand No. 1).
  6. For convenience, re-number the curls from left to right so as not to get confused. Repeat all the steps from the beginning: intertwine the first strand with the second and third, then the fifth with the fourth and third. Number again. Continue doing this until you have tied all the loose hair into a braid.

If it is more convenient for you to train on colored threads or ribbons, use the same technology, shown in the following diagram:

№2

The next technique is practically no different from the first. The difference is that the 5-strand braid starts on the right instead of the left. In general, the algorithm looks like this:

  • strands are numbered from 1 to 5 starting from the right edge;
  • No. 1 is intertwined with No. 2, and then with No. 3;
  • No. 5 is crossed with No. 4, after which the one in the center is thrown onto it;
  • the process is repeated, returning to the strands on the far right. Then - similar actions on the left;
  • continue this sequence until the end of the tail.

Advice. Fluff the braid - slightly stretch the curls with your fingers.

Various options

Having mastered simple weaving techniques, move on to more complex options. It's easier to do them on someone else than on yourself. Please be patient and carefully study the step-by-step instructions with detailed explanations.

French

This method is also often called the classic five-strand braid with tiebacks. To do this hairstyle, follow these instructions:

  1. Carefully comb your hair back. Moisten it if necessary.
  2. In the area of ​​the crown or on the crown, separate a small part of the hair. Form 3 strands from it.
  3. Start weaving a traditional spikelet: cross the central curl with the right and left parts.
  4. After the first weave, grab the free part of the hair on the left - this is a new strand. Place it under the one closest to it on the right and move it over the center one.
  5. Separate the 5th strand of hair located on the right side. Do the same as with the previous curl: place it under the one closest to it on the left, and then on the middle one.
  6. Continue braiding in the same way, picking up new parts of hair, first on the left, then on the right.
  7. When the free strands run out, finish the braid without them, along the main length. Tie the end with an elastic band.

Diagonally

The following algorithm will help you understand the technique:

  1. Above the right ear, separate a small strand and divide it into 3 parts.
  2. Cover the other two curls with the rightmost curl.
  3. On the left side, select a new strand of the same thickness as the rest.
  4. Place it under the curl closest to it and bring it above the middle part.
  5. Select a new strand on the right side. Treat it the same way as at the beginning of weaving: move it over the two closest ones.
  6. On the left side, separate a new section of hair and add it to the outermost curl.
  7. Then pass the resulting strand under the nearest one and over the middle one.
  8. Follow the same steps on the right side.
  9. Braid the braid diagonally, alternately adding new curls on both sides.
  10. Place the remaining hair in a side ponytail or braid.

With one tape

The hairstyle looks elegant. The tape does not complicate the task: it replaces one of the strands. In general, the weaving algorithm looks like this:

  1. The hair is combed back.
  2. At the top of the head, a wide part is separated from which the braid will be woven.
  3. The selected ribbon is tied underneath it, leaving only one end long. The accessory is attached to a thin strand in order to mask this place with a braid in the future.
  4. From a wide selected part of the hair, 4 curls are formed, mentally numbering them from left to right. The tape plays the role of another strand - No. 2.
  5. Curl No. 5 (far right) is placed under No. 4, and then passed over No. 3.
  6. A tape is laid on top of the middle one (formerly No. 5). Now she is in the center.
  7. The leftmost strand No. 1 is placed under the nearest one (No. 5). The tape is passed over it, returning it to its previous position, second from the left.
  8. Add some loose hair to the far right part and repeat the same steps.
  9. When it comes time to cross the leftmost strand, a new small curl is also attached to it.
  10. The braid is woven using the same algorithm. Don't forget to add loose hair on the right and left.
  11. Having reached the back of the head, the braid is braided without additional curls and secured at the end with an elastic band.

With two ribbons or thin braids

This option is easier than it might seem. Here 2 strands are immediately replaced with ribbons. In addition, the weave is formed on the basis of the tail. You can use one long ribbon or two shorter ones. If desired, choose multi-colored stripes. Weaving algorithm:

  1. Pull your hair into a ponytail. Tie a ribbon over the elastic, leaving 2 approximately equal ends.
  2. Divide all the curls from the ponytail into 3 equal strands. Position and number them so that both ends of the tape are at positions #3 and #4.
  3. Place strand No. 1 under No. 2. Draw ribbons under the first part. Curl No. 1 will be in the fourth position from the left.
  4. Place the fifth (far right) strand under the first (which is now next to it). Beneath it are ribbons, crossing them with each other.
  5. Perform identical steps on the left, then on the right.
  6. Repeat until you have your entire ponytail in a braid.

In the same way, you can braid an original five-strand braid, in which thin braids play the role of ribbons. Divide the ponytail into 5 strands, numbered from left to right. From No. 3 and No. 4, braid regular spikelets. Next, be guided by the technology you already know.

By the way. You can do a French braid in the same way. Start weaving from the top of your head, fixing the ribbon under the first strand. Alternately add loose curls on both sides of the loose hair.

"Chess"

A checkerboard pattern is also formed using one or two ribbons 1–1.5 cm wide. Take black and white or colored stripes. It is important that they are rigid and do not curl. Before starting work, review the diagram. The ribbons on it are highlighted in pink and red. The algorithm is reminiscent of braiding a braid with two ribbons, but there are differences.

Step by step description:

  1. Comb your hair and, if necessary, moisturize or wax it.
  2. At the top of your head, separate a wide strand from which you will form a braid.
  3. Lift this part and attach two ribbons under it using bobby pins. You can take one strip of fabric, fold it in half and secure it in a similar way.
  4. Lower your hair and form 3 strands. Place them between the tapes as indicated in the diagram. Number all parts. Tapes are No. 3 and No. 4 (Fig. 1 in the diagram).
  5. Pull curl No. 1 under No. 2, then over No. 3 and under No. 4. Now the strand that was on the far left will become the fourth (Fig. 2).
  6. Follow identical steps on the right side. Place curl No. 5 under the one next to it on the left, then pass it over one and under the second ribbon (Fig. 3).
  7. To the leftmost part, add some loose hair from your head and repeat the same algorithm: bring the nearest curl under the ponytail, throw it over the first ribbon and place it under the second. This strand will become second from the right or fourth from the left. (Fig. 4 on the diagram).
  8. Do the same with the last right part. Add some hair, place it under the nearest curl, then over one and under the second ribbon (Fig. 5).
  9. Make sure the bands are taut at all times. It turns out that you braid them on both sides, forming a checkerboard pattern.
  10. Reach the end, following the same pattern.
  11. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band and tie a bow from the tails of the ribbon.

Such a braid can become one of the elements of a hairstyle. Braid it without using additional strands. For example, separate a narrow part from one of the temples. Don't pull your hair too tight to create a lace weave.

In the form of a basket

This method is reminiscent of basket weaving, because the position of the working strand constantly alternates under and above adjacent curls. You can braid the braid all over your head or lay it on one side, as in this case:

  1. Comb your hair, divide it into 5 parts. Mentally number. No. 1 is the one on the far left, if you are going to lay the braid on the same side.
  2. Place No. 5 over No. 4, then under No. 3, over No. 2 and under No. 1.
  3. Now take curl No. 1 and stretch it in the same way above and below all neighboring ones, observing the sequence.
  4. Alternate braiding until the end of the hair.
  5. Tie the end of the braid with an elastic band.
  6. If desired, straighten the curls a little with your fingers to make the styling more voluminous.

Therefore, masters come up with many ideas for the intricacy of curls. Thus, a five-strand weave appeared. This braid is popular and receives admiring glances.

Not everyone can easily build a masterpiece on their own. But this is not a reason to be upset. The desire to look stylish and unusual, practical training and patience will bear fruit in the form of an original braid.

Step-by-step instruction

The creation technique is somewhat complex, and therefore requires maximum patience, attentiveness and dexterity of hands.

  1. Comb thoroughly and lightly dampen your hair with a spray bottle. Humidity will make weaving easier.
  2. Gather a ponytail at the back of your head. Weaving from the tail is much easier. Having mastered the technique better, you can try to create other options.
  3. Divide the bundle into five equal parts.
  4. For convenience, number them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from left to right.
  5. Part 5, pass over 3 and then under 4.
  6. Next, place 1 over 3 and under 2.
  7. Then 5 by 4 and under 3.
  8. Do all the steps from step 5 to the end.

There are many modifications of this technique: using ribbons, chess braid, basket, French and oblique. You can change, supplement and use different variations at the same time as your heart desires. Give free rein to your fantasies.

“Basket” of 5 strands

This is a type of fashionable weaving that will effectively decorate your head. The difference from the classic method is that only the side strands are involved in the process. The main thing is not to confuse them.

  1. Divide your hair into five equal zones.
  2. Start working on the left side. Thread the leftmost ponytail into the rest of the strands in this order: over, under, over, under.
  3. Now he was on the far right.
  4. Take the ponytail lying next to it to the left and thread it under, over, under.
  5. Now he's on the far left. The nearest right tail becomes the working one. Thread it in the same order as the previous ones.
  6. Secure the finished result with an elastic band.

Having learned how to make a “basket”, you can begin to modify it, complicating the weaving with the help of ribbons.

Scythe-chess

It differs from the “basket” in that a ribbon is involved in the execution.
You will need:

  • hairpin;
  • ribbon;
  • invisible;

The step-by-step actions are as follows:

  1. Separate a section of hair at the top of your head.
  2. Fold the ribbon in half and attach it under the crown area.
  3. Divide the separated crown area into three equal parts.
  4. The result is five ponytails: a curl ponytail, two ribbon ponytails, and two curl ponytails. Secure the left strand with a bobby pin for convenience.
  5. Next, weaving is carried out according to the “basket” principle: place the far right one under the bottom of the nearest strand, then up (first ribbon), down again (second ribbon), and up.
  6. Weave the leftmost one also, adhering to the checkerboard order.
  7. Secure the finished result with a fixing agent.
  8. Tie the tip with a ribbon bow. It is important that the tape is at least one and a half centimeters wide. Otherwise the chessboard look will not work. To ensure that the curls do not fall apart and the final look is attractive, you must adhere to the correct placement of your fingers.

When the rightmost strand (working) is included in the work, pinch it between the fingers: the index and middle of your right hand. Place it under the next one, which you hold with your left thumb. Throw it onto the first ribbon ponytail, holding it with the index and middle fingers of your right hand. Pinch the strand with the same fingers of your left hand and pull it under the second ribbon ponytail. Then - on top of the outermost pinned strand and release it. You can check the correct execution like this: you should get from left to right: two strands, two ribbons, one strand.

These simple secrets will help you avoid getting tangled in braiding and losing your working ponytail.

Little tricks

As mentioned, creating a hairstyle is not an easy process. Therefore, it may not work the first time. If it doesn’t work out the third or tenth time, you should leave this activity for a while. And then he will begin with new strength and desire.

It's better to train regularly. Mechanical memory is activated, and the hands themselves will intertwine the curls. Don't be discouraged if the planned version looks a little disheveled due to protruding hairs. On the contrary, these flaws can serve as an excellent addition to a romantic image.

If your hair is wavy, then difficulties may arise. Before starting work, they should be straightened.
The intended hairstyle will become more voluminous if you extend the curls from the sides. It is also called openwork.
To achieve your own masterpiece you need nothing less than inspiration, imagination, a little practice and hair, of course. To begin with, you can practice on someone. When your fingers get used to the desired pattern, you can begin styling on your head.

Braids can be positioned in different ways: from the tail, free from the back of the head, diagonally, from the crown. The hairstyle looks very beautiful when combined with a five-strand French braid with a bun.

French version

A five-strand French braid is a voluminous style. This method of weaving hairs is suitable for owners of not too thick and voluminous hair.

The main advantage is the ability to form “flowers” ​​from hair. The binding is done over the entire head or only from the bangs. There is a chance to create the most extraordinary and attractive compositions.
A wide French braid is woven similarly to a spikelet. But the result is much more impressive. Such a work of art looks much more elegant and festive.

The execution scheme is simple if you have mastered the basic techniques: 5-strand braiding and a classic French braid. The main feature is the braids.

  1. So, you can start from the top of your head. Separating three strands, make one turn of a regular braid. Those. the left one under the middle one and above the right one.
  2. Next, weave in the missing two parts. Take one from the right side, one from the left. This way you get the five required strands.
  3. Further execution is carried out according to the principle of the classic five-strand, each time adding a braid to the side curls.

This execution looks amazing, starting from the temple and going down to the opposite shoulder. They also do not braid all the way, stopping at the back of the head and creating a voluminous bun.

On this basis, two French braids are woven, ultimately creating flowers. These hairstyles are suitable for any event. They can be used for everyday wear, for a celebration or for a wedding.

This type of braiding looks complementary on its own. But accessories have never been superfluous. The main thing is to choose the right decoration. The braid loves ribbons, strings, decorative ropes, strands, etc. They are woven into the braid, adding zest to the look.

Decorative pins placed vertically along the binding also add a festive touch. For a special occasion, you can weave in fresh flowers.

You can build anything on your head that your imagination suggests. A clearing full of flowers, small five-strands along the entire length of the hair, two braids connected in the center into a bun or flower, etc.
When choosing an accessory, you need to remember that the hairstyle itself is voluminous. Large decorations will be inappropriate. In general, it will look too flashy and ugly.

A 5-strand weave always remains unusual and original. Once you master the basic technique, you can easily create your own hairstyles. The result is undoubtedly worth the effort. Pamper yourself with new hairstyles and inspire others with your impeccable look.
