Easy steps to Beautiful Hairstyles
A Japanese
proverb says, "Hair is women's life." It did not matter how ugly
women's faces were; those who had shiny, long, straight black hair were
considered beauties in Japan in ancient times. This standard doesn't exist any more
, but such beautiful, healthy hair is still highly regarded. As well as the
hair, certain hairdos - French twist, piggy tail, pony tail and bun - have been
the charming accents of women's fashion until now. Braids, my favorite
hairstyle, are the most beautiful of all. When I was little, my mom used to
comb and braid my long hair, which extended below my shoulders, while I
was having breakfast in the dining room.
Nude is one of the
most sought-after colors in lipstick because there are so many to choose from,
and it is a staple shade in modern beauty. The truth is anyone can wear many
shades of nude — but it’s all about the application.
After I
bought a book called 365 Ways to Do Your Hair, I spent some time in front of a
mirror in the bathroom doing fascinating, different braids and creating my own
hairdos every day during my high school years. Following the proper procedure
of the Japanese technique of hair braiding, people can braid their hair easily
and quickly and even do complicated, beautiful braids.
Summit means braid or plait in English. This is the basis of the braiding techniques or A of the ABCs. If you have ten fingers and medium long hair, you can master it.
Struggling with stubborn hair takes one third of your hair setting time.To handle your hair, water-spray and comb your entangled hair well at first.Using the edge of a comb brush, part your hair down the middle. On the right side, split your hair in three equal parts, I am going to call these bundles 3 (left, toward the back of the head), 2 (center), and 1 (right, toward the forehead). To begin, put bundle 3 onto bundle 2. Next put bundle 1 onto bundle 3. Then put bundle 2 onto bundle, and repeat this process.
See, it is not hard. Don't forget to do the other side too. It takes an average of three minutes to complete this job.

You can also apply summit to advanced but easy hairdos:
The Braid Hairband gives an impression of innocence and sweetness. This style fits fine long hair, length at least below the shoulders. Start making mitsuami from above your ears on both sides. Next, lift and cross mitsuami on top of the head. Last, tuck the fringes under with two hair pins. This style takes only five minutes. At this time, if your bottom hair is loose, you don't have to start over. Just pull it up to the braid and pin it.
The Elegant Ring Braid like a flower necklace is suitable for long thick hair. To begin, make a pony tail and divide it into two sections. After making a mitsuami on each section, cross the ends, and wind them around each other. Tuck in any loose fringes.
Now we have got the general ideal of the procedure of mitsuami. The following technique is more advanced. It is called kataamikomi, which is neatly braiding side hair from the top of the head to the nape of the neck. The gorgeous style will draw the attention of everyone around you.
Step 1. Divide your hair in right side into four equal parts - 7(from left to right) 1, 2, 3, and 4 (toward your face).
Step 2. Make mitsuami with 1, 2, and 3 on the top of your head once.
Step 3. Put 4 and 1 together (4+1).
Step 4. Put 4+1 onto 3.
Step 5. Put 2 onto 4+1.
Step 6. Put 3 and a new part from right 5 together (3+5).
Step 7. Put 3+5 onto 2.
Step 8. Put 1+4 onto 3+5.
Step 9. Put 2 and a new part from right, the same amount as 4, together.
Step 10. Put them onto the center part, and put the left one on the center one.
After you repeat this process and finish the other side, cross both braids and pin each end underneath the braids. This style takes about eight minutes to fifteen minutes.
Hair Style
Finally, I would like to introduce the hair braiding technique I invented, called The Quintuple Braids. I got the idea from mitsuami and a rope. A rope consists of more than three bundles. This style, made up from five bundles, looks like the combination of two braids, but it is actually one complicated braid.
Step 1. Divide your hair in right side into five parts - (from left to right) 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (toward your face.)
Step 2. Put 5 onto 4.
Step 3. Put 3 onto 5.
Step 4. Put 5 onto 2.
Step 5. Put 1 onto 5.
Step 6. Put 5 onto 1.
Step 7. Put 2 onto 5.
Step 8. Put 5 onto 3.
Step 9. Put 4 onto 5 and 5 onto 4.
Step 10. Repeat it.
Although you need fifteen minutes to finish, you will be satisfied with the hairstyle. If your hair comes out from under your braids, I recommend using extra hairpins or hair gel. Be careful not to poke the scalp with a pin. Ouch! I have done this many times myself. But, remember when you make ideal braids for the first couple of times, you have to bear a little pain. At least you know the basics; you can manage to braid within a little time. The more you practice, the more you will improve your skill and save time. And eventually, you may be able to invent your own hairdos - a little imagination creates a new style. The sooner you try, the better. Let's begin!
