How to braid a five-strand braid

The five-strand braid is a relatively common hairstyle, and it is braided as follows:

1. First, comb your hair into a neat ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic.

2. Divide the ponytail into three parts and twist each braid a few times.

3. Twist one of the portions of the braid from the bottom up around the hair band until you have it in a small braid, then secure it with bobby pins.

4. Next, do the same with the other two braids and secure them with bobby pins.

5. Finally, wrap all three braids together at the same time to form one large five-strand braid and secure with bobby pins.

The five-strand braid is an ancient hairstyle popular in northern China. It is a hairstyle in which the hair is divided into five strands and each strand is tied with a rope, and then the five strands are braided into a braid. This hairstyle is not only beautiful and generous, but also serves to protect the hair and prevent it from tangling.

The five-strand braid was first popular in China's ethnic minority regions, such as the Mongols and Manchus. Later, it gradually spread to the Han Chinese population and became one of the traditional hairstyles for Han Chinese women. In ancient times, women often wore the five-strand braid in a long bun, and then wore a variety of jewelry accessories, which made them look especially gorgeous. In modern times, many people prefer to braid the five-strand braid into a short hairstyle or coiffure, which is more simple and practical.

Five-strand braids require very long hair to braid, as well as a certain amount of skill and experience. Now, some hairdressing schools and beauty salons have also begun to launch five-strand braid teaching and service programs to provide professional hair design and care services for women who love beauty.
