How to do a spike braid

Spica plexus

The spike braid is one of the most beautiful hairstyles, especially if the hair is long, as it gives an elegant, sophisticated and simple look at the same time. It does not require time or any cost like other hairstyles, but rather only needs practice and training, to achieve a tidy appearance suitable for the job or school. Or at home, or even for special occasions, if you add beautiful accessories. In this article, we will show you two ways to make a spike braid.

Make a regular spike braid

These are the steps for making a normal Sunbulah, which are as follows:

  • Comb your hair well with a long-toothed comb, and wet it slightly if it is frizzy or thick, to make it easier to control.
  • Divide your hair into two equal parts, and comb it again, to avoid tangling it.
  • Hold each section with one hand, firmly and in a way that makes the strands easier to control.
  • Take a small strand from the right section, and move it to the left section, passing under the left section, using your index finger, and tighten it well.
  • Take a small strand (the same size as the previous strand) from the left section, and move it to the right section, passing under the right section, and tighten it well.
  • Repeat the process in order between the two sections, until you reach the desired length, or to the end of the hair, and tie the end of the braid with a small hair clip.
  • Comb each strand before moving it to the other section, to ensure a tidy braid.

  • Comb your hair well to get rid of any complications, and wet it slightly if it is curly or thick.
  • Divide the upper part of your hair (the area above the ear) into three sections of equal size. Hold the right section with your right hand, the left section with your left hand, and hold the middle section with your index finger.
  • Start by making a braid of three regular strands, moving the right section to the middle, over the middle section, then moving the left section to the middle, over the middle section, all at once.
  • Move the right section again to the middle, taking a strand of hair that was left behind and merging it with the right section, from above the middle section, and tighten it well.
  • Move the left section to the middle, taking a strand of leftover hair and merging it with the left section, above the middle section, and tighten it well.
  • Continue with the last two steps, until you reach the desired length of the braid, or until the remaining hair strands end, and complete the rest of the braid as normal.
  • Tie the last braid with a small tie.
