The scheme of weaving inverted French braids

This type of braid is best to braid, avoiding a strong tightening. It is required to choose wider strands when adding to the main curls. The main difference of this type of weaving from the previous one is that strands that are added to the main ones are taken from below. This leads to the fact that these strands are under the central part of the weaving, increasing the volume of the hairstyle itself. This type of weaving is most suitable for girls with sparse hair - in fact, rare curls due to this hairstyle look more voluminous.

Even greater volume of such a head of hair can be given if you pull a part of the hair out of the braid along its edges. Yes, this will lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the braid - it will become a bit disheveled, but with rare hair this can be neglected.
