How old is your braid? As long as I can remember, I have always had quite long hair.
Are you braiding yourself? As a child, my mother weaved my braids, but then, having matured, I myself learned. I really like the braid, and I often braid it myself. It is very convenient and beautiful. My opinion: the braid has always been and will be in fashion! This hairstyle can claim to be one of the oldest in human history. And today many girls are braided in an original way.
How do you care for your hair? At work, I always have to be with my hair in a bun, and then hair becomes brittle from hairpins. Therefore, I try to take care of my hair, make masks, cut the split ends.
How do family and friends react to braids? In my environment, everyone likes the scythe. Friends say that she will never go out of style. And by the way, even at fashion shows, such a hairstyle is found more often than other styling. So braided hair is trendy.

How old is your braid? I can’t say for sure, before the first grade I was cut “under a pot”, and since then I have been growing my hair. I remember walking with a high ponytail in elementary school, but most of my life I know myself with one or two braids.
Are you braiding yourself? Yes, herself. I had to learn abruptly – in the summer camp I brushed my hair to big tangles. I shaved them off and patiently began to learn how to comb the right way. Mom was shocked to see me with a braid, from which the cut strands were sticking out.
How do you care for your hair? Shampoo + balm, no SLS required. Moisturizing serum for combing. Large square comb. A rare appearance with loose hair, I do not like it when they cling to everything. I don’t use a hairdryer. In the case of making a haircut in a hairdressing salon, please make a mask.
How do family and friends react to braids? The husband is neutral, the parents are positive. With friends, it is almost always the same story: at first they wildly like the braid, and then they start asking if I’m tired of walking with one hairstyle. But there are those who stably squeeze and unbraid and braid a braid when they meet. “Hat” girl friends always react in the same way – they sympathize with my heavy burden (although I am convinced that such hair is easier to care for than ordinary hair), remember that they also had a braid in childhood and are instructed to never cut their hair. The guys never commented on their hair.

How old is your braid? As far as I can remember, I have had so much braid. Mom really wanted her daughter to have long hair. So I went through the whole school with a braid to the knee. And then it’s already a pity to cut. When I got married, my husband also liked long hair – he did not allow him to radically change his hairstyle. After pregnancy, the hair became even thicker and longer, I was still waiting for my daughter’s braid to grow, we will do a beautiful photo session with her and I will part with my long hair. But my daughter is already 7 years old, and I again feel sorry for my haircut. And the hair is almost two meters long.
Are you braiding yourself? Of course, I haven’t even been to the hairdresser, once I decided to dye my hair, but when I found out the price, I changed my mind. But I was invited as a model to a master class for stylists. Those, seeing the length of the braid, gasped. I do myself neat styling – I twist my hair around my head so that the length is not visible. And with my hair down, I can’t get tangled up in an instant.
How do you care for your hair? Everyone asks me how much shampoo it takes for one wash, in fact, a little – a little more than with short hairstyles – 150 grams. I wash my hair in a cup (not running water), as if I was washing clothes – I will pour shampoo in parts I wash. I finish the wash with an apple cider vinegar rinse – about half a glass per bucket of water. I don’t use a hairdryer and irons – they split my hair and become brittle. And I comb it with a massage brush, lowering my head down – the blood supply improves and the hair grows better. If possible, I sometimes do a medicinal rinse from nettle infusions.
How do family and friends react to braids? There is too much attention on the street, to be honest, I don’t really like it. People take pictures, ask how I take care of my hair.

How old is your braid? I’ve had the scythe for as long as I can remember. Hair since childhood is thick, so my mother did not cut me. Once in the 10th grade I made myself a haircut to the shoulders – I still wanted something new. But from the first day I realized … a haircut is not mine! I jokingly compare myself to Samson – my strength is in my hair! And I do not believe at all that negative energy is accumulating in them.
Are you braiding yourself? Just 5 years ago I learned to weave myself. As a child, naturally, my mother made me pigtails, and then I wore a ponytail. Many people wonder how you can learn to braid yourself. It’s easy! Believe me, it is enough just to step over this purely psychological line! The first time will not be perfect, but it will work from the second!
How do you care for your hair? Honestly, I don’t really care for my hair in any way. I firmly believe that good skin, strong hair and nails are primarily dependent on your overall health. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle is the best care. I break many rules: I comb my hair while wet, I always dry it with a hairdryer, my comb has iron teeth. Now there is a huge amount of bad chemistry in shampoos, the hair is becoming oily faster – I deliberately postpone the day of washing my hair for at least a day (it is better to braid complex braids or pull the hair into a ponytail) – the less often we use shampoos, the better the hair and scalp. With age (I think at 30 you can already start thinking about it) hair may need additional care. I switched to a professional shampoo with intensive hydration of the scalp.
How do family and friends react to braids? We can say that many of my friends dream of the same long and the same thick hair. And every time, laughing, I tell them that all this is not as simple and convenient as it seems to them!

How old is your braid? I have had a braid for 6 years, only by the age of 20 I realized that all the beauty of a girl is in her well-groomed long hair, before that she had always experimented with a long haircut.
Are you braiding yourself? I always did my hairstyles-braids myself, tried all kinds of weaving, my favorite was the “spikelet”: easy, and beautiful, and fast!
How do you care for your hair? I follow my hair very carefully, I make masks to strengthen the hair roots. For example, here is one of the masks for a wonderful result: a mask of infused decoctions of nettle and chamomile with an egg. The mask is applied to damp hair, to the washed head, lasts for 30 minutes, then it is washed off with plain warm water. The mask effectively nourishes and moisturizes the hair, gives the curls a natural shine.
How do family and friends react to braids? My husband really likes it, one might even say that the “magic” long braid drove him crazy. And many people ask how I take care of my hair, how I made a braid, but this is all done so quickly …

How old is your braid? Hair grew back not so long ago and very quickly, but then for some reason stopped growing, probably, the hair length has its limit.
Are you braiding yourself? Honestly, no one can cope with my hair – it is thick and curly. Therefore, I am my own stylist. It’s good that I was lucky with creativity and the right hands – I can come up with and implement any image, I collect my hair into incredible compositions. I also braid my braids, however, this is a difficult process – well, try to strip such a volume into separate strands.
How do you care for your hair? For me, the main law is not to dry my hair with a hairdryer and, as rarely as possible, expose to stylers and curling irons. I also make sure that the ends of the hair always remain “live”, uncut – for this I regularly cut them and apply cosmetic oil. I also use ready-made masks – I already have 85 tubes on my shelf. So beautiful long hair is a real job.
How do family and friends react to braids? Hair is admired, I have not yet met a single person in my life who would not like it. Sometimes I want to get a haircut when I get tired of looking after and wearing such a shock, but I’m in the heat of the moment, it’s a pity to part with such beauty.

How old is your braid? Long hair for 6 years.
Are you braiding yourself? Despite my main job, I devote a lot of my time and attention to weaving. For me, this is a hobby that, I want to believe, will grow into something more. Of course, I do my hair from a braid, I braid my friends. I even taught braid weaving to hairdressers.
How do you care for your hair? I use masks and oils. I tried a bunch of recipes, even pepper and egg ones. But I stopped at inexpensive ready-made masks and oils for hair growth and nutrition. The convenience of the product is that it is sold in disposable ampoules and can be added to shampoo or applied to hair before washing. I do it 1-2 times a week and am very happy with the result: the hair stopped falling out, gained volume and became more silky. But the folk recipes did not suit me, the hair is light, and after rinsing with nettles, it acquired a green tint.
How do family and friends react to braids? Everyone’s reaction is different, as they say, to taste and color – there are no comrades. Usually they like braids. And when I braid the girls, they are happy.

Are you braiding yourself? For a long time I practiced on ribbons, it was uncomfortable for myself, but over time I learned. From the sixth grade I went to school with a long braid.

Every day I braid something new that suits my clothes and mood.

How do family and friends react to braids? In childhood, the boys were not left alone, every day someone would pull. Once the most handsome boy in my class complimented my long, beautiful hair, and ever since then I have started to be proud of it.

A year later, I met my future husband, who simply adores long hair, believing that it is feminine and sexy. My square did not prevent him from falling in love with me, and I, in order to please him, decided to grow a braid again. Now the hair is below the shoulder blades. This length allows you to experiment with hairstyles every day. Every day my husband is surprised at my masterpieces and calls me a sorceress. On the street, women look closely at my hairstyles, and men compliment me.

How old is your braid? I have had a scythe since childhood. Maybe there was a break at the age of 14, because she shortened her hair a lot – apparently, the age is when the hunt for changes.
