Reverse braid: weaving technique, features and recommendations. “Non-touristic” Paris or the other side of French chic

AT interrogative sentence direct order words occur only in the following cases:

• if the question is expressed by intonation: Vous venez?
• if the interrogative sentence begins with qui (who) / qui est-ce qui (who)/ qu'est-ce qui (what) in the function of the subject or quel (what) in the function of determining the subject: Qui a dit cela?
• on turnover est-ce que(usually not translated into Russian): Comment est-ce que vous lisez?
• if the question word is placed at the end of the sentence: Tu t'appelles comment?

In all other cases, the interrogative sentence is characterized by inversion, i.e. reverse word order. Inversion can be simple or complex.

Simple Inversion is done when the subject is expressed by a pronoun. In this case, the pronoun is placed after the verb through a dash. Permutation of the pronoun je is allowed only in some monosyllabic forms of verbs: ai-je? suis-je? disje? dois-je? vais-je? puis-je?

Between the verb (if it does not end in t or d) and the 3rd person singular pronoun, the letter t is placed: Lit-il le journal? Pense- t-il à notre projet?

Complex inversion done if the subject is expressed by a noun or pronoun (other than the personal or indefinite on). In this case, the subject remains in its place and, in addition, is repeated after the predicate in the form of a personal unstressed pronoun of the 3rd person of the corresponding gender and number: Pierre est- il etudiant? Les notres sont- ils Venus?

NB! Direct word order: the subject comes first, followed by the predicate.

Inversion = reverse word order: the predicate comes first, followed by the subject.

General question (question to the whole sentence)

It can be set in three ways:

1) By changing intonation to interrogative. The word order in the sentence does not change: Tu vas au cinéma? — Are you going to the cinema?

2) With the help of an interrogative phrase est-ce que keeping the direct word order after it: Est-ce que tu vas au cinéma? — Are you going to the cinema?

3) Using inversions: Vas-tu au cinema? — Are you going to the cinema?

The words “whether” and “is it”, used in a general question in Russian, are not translated into French:

Does he go to the cinema? = Does he go to the cinema? = Does he go to the cinema? = Est-ce qu'il va au cinema?

Special question

Involves the use of special question words:

where?	ou…?	Où habites-tu? - Where do you live?
where?		Où vas-tu? - Where are you going?
where?	d'où...?	D'où viens-tu? - Where are you going from now?
when?	quand…?	Quand revisions-tu? - When will you be back?
In what time?	à quelle heure...?	A quelle heure reviens-tu? - AToh howto you come back?
as?	comment...?	Comment set enfant lit-il? - How does this child read?
why? why?	pourquoi...?	Pourquoi est-ce que tu es en retard? – Why are you late?

With question words, there are three options for constructing phrases:

Question to the subject

Question to direct object (addition without preposition)

Question to an indirect object (addition with a preposition)

question for definition

		to the subject	to supplement
which?	quel (m.s. sg.) quelle (female unit) quels (m. pl.) quelles (feminine pl.)	+ direct word order Quel parc est beau? - Which park is beautiful?	Quel livre est-ce que tu lis? Quel livre lis-tu? - Which book are you reading?
How many?	combien de…	+ direct word order Combien d'étudiants travaillent ici? - How many students are here?	1) + est-ce que + direct word order 2) + inversion Combien de livres est-ce que tu lis? Combien de livres lis-tu? - How books you reading?

Reverse French braid looks much more spectacular and more voluminous than its classic version. The main difference between such a pigtail is that the braided hide and seek are placed not from above, but from below. Thus, weaving braids, we wind the ponytails not up, but down. This is how the effect of a magnificent braid “glued” to the head is achieved.

How to do a reverse french braid well shown in the video at the bottom of this page. Be sure to note that if you want to add extra volume to the pigtail, you should stretch it gradually during the weaving process, and not after it is secured with an elastic band. This is done in the following way. 4-5 sections are braided, and then they are stretched and also with the rest of the braid. And at the end of weaving, the entire pigtail is stretched again.

French twisted braids- one of the most common elements of evening hairstyles and wedding styling. They are very efficient and comfortable at the same time. Inverted braids look especially beautiful if they are weaved asymmetrically across the head or placed next to the face. It turns out both modern and romantic image. In addition, this way you can create a volume effect with virtually no styling products. Similar ideas will be demonstrated in video tutorials later. And to begin with, it is important to master the simple reverse french braid. By the way, for whom it’s like, but it’s just quite easy for me to make exactly the inverted version, and the classic one is much more difficult.

french braids

Small French braids tightly fitting to the head, which are also called braids, are one of the varieties of Afro hairstyles. The technique of weaving French braids is no different from creating ordinary spikelets, the difference lies in the width of the braid and its tighter weaving.

Until some time ago, they could only be seen on African hair. Today, this type of braiding is also popular with representatives of other races.

To create French braids, a special material is often used - kanekalon, which is woven together with strands for greater density and long-term hairstyles.

Braids with kanekalon, provided that they are properly cared for, can be worn for up to 1 month, while without them, their wearing period is only 1-2 weeks.

Such braids can be woven with a hair length of 10 cm, while the pattern created by ready-made braids can be absolutely anything - it all depends on the client's imagination and the master's talent.

Braided hair gives the hairstyle neatness and grace, which always attracts admiring glances and the attention of others. Spruce up your everyday look with braided hair and you will feel the difference!
