Thoroughly combing all the strands.

Weaving begin with the occipital zone. We separate the first row from the bottom, the rest of the curls are collected so that they do not interfere. We take the order of the intended thickness, divide it into three parts and weave it together in the most ordinary, well-known and not cunning way. The tip is fixed with an elastic band or glued together.

In the same way, weave all the braids of a row. We monitor their size, it is desirable that all were of the same thickness.

Separate the next row horizontally, its width should be equal to the thickness of the first row. We divide into strands and weave pigtails in a manner already known.

Afro pigtails with kanekalon

We take a pack of kanekalona any color you like. Divide the material into particles about the thickness of a finger. For each of the braids we need two locks of artificial material.

We take two particles of Kanekalon and form a loop of them. Fasten the material to the base of the future pigtails and weave together with the hair to the tip.

It is more difficult to weave braids with Kanekalon than just from hair, because the material can slip and you need to work with it, but the result justifies the efforts.
