Everyday Styling

There are many hairstyles from long strands that do not require special skills and time consuming.

 

A few ideas for simple hairstyles for every day:

  1. Monday - Malvina. Allows you to demonstrate the luxury of hair and at the same time remove it from the face, so as not to interfere. The locks at the forehead and ears are pulled together by the tail on the crown or back of the head. The hair is fixed with a hairpin or elastic. A satin or velvet bow looks very feminine and cute.
  2. Tuesday - a bundle of harnesses. To collect hair in a ponytail on a nape and to fix with an elastic band. Then divide into approximately five parts, each of which is twisted until it begins to “break”. Lay loops of hair around the gum, simultaneously masking it and building a bundle.
  3. Wednesday - loose hair. Depending on the haircut and the structure of the strands, lay them with brushing, curling iron and (or) styling tools.
  4. Thursday - women's hairstyle in the style of Beyoncé. Gently comb the hair on the top and fix with varnish. Then fasten with an elastic band or hairpin. The remaining free strands can be straightened with the help of “irons”. Hairdo or leave as such, or loose hair to lay, fixing on the back of the head.

    Important! After combing, first you need to wash your hair and only after that comb the strands. This sequence of actions will help to avoid damage to the curls. As an alternative to fleece, it is more convenient to use all kinds of hair pads.

  5. Friday - elegant "rollers". Comb combed curls first parted, then - even in half. Twist each of the tails into light rollers at the same time, cross them at the back and secure with a “crab” or a set of invisibles. The hairstyle will organically look both at a business meeting, and at a romantic date.

Using accessories

 

The whole vast arsenal of hair accessories can be divided into 2 categories:

  • visible and hidden, which are necessary for the construction of hairstyles;
  • decorative that are used simply for decoration.

 

Types of hairpins and styling devices (photos are presented below), as well as methods of their application:

  • Hairpins. With their help, you can assemble a French "knot" or a classic bunch. For weddings, graduations and other special occasions, stilettos decorated with artificial pearls or flowers are used.
  • Invisibility. Hairpins can be really almost invisible (to match the color of the hair) or decorated with rhinestones, attracting an emphasis on yourself.
  • Gum. They can be of different sizes, colors, and made of various materials: silicone, plastic, fabric and even fur. And their purpose is also different: small silicone gum is used, as a rule, in hair wrapping (then they are either carefully removed or torn), or in a complex hairstyle, but in such a way that the hairpin is not visible to others. The remaining gum is used to fix the braids and tails.
  • Bagel. This is a soft round hairpin made of mesh that resembles a donut in shape. Bagel can be of different sizes and, as a rule, there are three colors: black, brown and beige. Using this mesh, it’s convenient to create a beautiful, even beam.
  • Various soft rollers. They come in different shapes and are equipped with Velcro and scallops on one side. Thanks to them, you can create volume on the head without resorting to bouffant, which, with frequent and inept performance, damages the hair. The famous “babette” is easy to build with the help of a lining.
  • "Chopsticks".Hairpins can be made of various materials: wood, plastic, silicone or even metal, and are decorated with flowers, chains, rhinestones or patterns. Hair with their help can be collected in several ways. You can first build a bundle, and then fix the hairstyle with chopsticks. And you can wind the hair on one or two hairpins at once and then fix it.
  • Clips, or "crabs", are plastic or metal, painted or inlaid with rhinestones, bright or to match the color of the hair. Using a hairpin, it is easy and simple to collect hair in an elegant hairstyle. For example, make “Malvina” or collect all the hair on the back of the head.
  • Mechanical hair clips. Thanks to them, you can collect both a tail and a fantasy bunch or a kind of “shell”.
  • Headbands and bandages. They can be used both on loose hair and on the back of the head.
  • Tiaras. Great decoration and a way to "stand out" at a party.
  • Combs. With their help it is easy to make a hairstyle in the style of "Gatsby."
  • Hairpins with imitation of small caps with nets, bows. This is a great choice for a satin dress in combination with gloves made of the same material.

Simple braids, tails

There is no easier styling than ponytail or braid. One of the advantages of these hairstyles is their relevance: they are suitable for any situation, and for any age.

The selection of everyday hairstyles for long hair is surprisingly wide. Let's consider some.

 

Ponytail. There are several ways to collect hair:

  • high on top with or without fleece;
  • on the back of the head;
  • into the low tail that lies on the neck.

Also, the hairstyle can be done both in the center of the head and on the side.

 

Double tail. Laying allows you to create an imitation of a thick mane and volume. Perform it as follows:

  1. Collect the hair at the crown in a ponytail and fix it.
  2. Then, collect the remaining part of free curls and fix with an elastic band under the first tail.
  3. The inner gum can be hidden with a pair of strands, securing them with invisibility.

 

Central braid. A hairstyle can be done in several ways:

  • Braid an ordinary braid of three parts, the beginning of which is at the bottom of the head. Secure with rubber band.
  • Make a French braid, starting from the border of the forehead and hair roots. This weaving differs from the previous one in that each time when the strands cross, an additional curl is added to them. Hairstyle creates volume throughout the head.
  • Braid the French braid, starting from the back of the head. This version of the hairstyle is suitable if the volume throughout the head is completely unnecessary.

You can also make two or more braids with any weave. The Tartlet is interesting: two braids are connected in the center of the head and fixed in the area of ​​the ears. The hair-rim from hair has long been relevant. Scythe originates from one ear and descends from the other. Her tail can be masked under her hair or completely braided.

The fastest hairstyles for 5 minutes

How important it is sometimes in the morning to save precious minutes on hair or makeup.

An interesting and fashionable styling in 5 minutes is not a myth, but a reality. Options for quick hairstyles for long hair are also amazing

 

Imitation of a perm, or effect of wet hair.

  1. Lightly wet the strands: you can draw several times through the hair with wet hands or spray water from a spray bottle.
  2. Then squeeze the styling foam onto the palm of your hand, and, squeezing the curls, apply to the hair.
  3. Dry the strands with a hairdryer. If the appliance is without a diffuser, proceed as follows: squeeze the strands with one hand and blow the hair dryer with warm air with the other. If there is a diffuser nozzle, then the curls can not be squeezed, but simply lay them in a chaotic manner on the "fingers" of the device.
  4. If desired, the hairstyle can be additionally fixed with varnish.

 

The laying "I just got out of bed" that does not give up its positions can be done in several ways:

  1. In the evening, collect the hair on the top of the head in a tight bundle.To fix the hairstyle, you can use various styling products: foams, mousses, gels. Using a dry shampoo before curling your hair into a bun will give them extra volume. In the morning, it remains only to dissolve the hair.
  2. Apply a small amount of spray to the strands to create “beach” curls (it is also called salt, as salt is present in it) and allow to dry naturally or blow a little hair dryer.

Both of these hairstyles can be collected in a light bun on the top or back of the head and released a pair of wavy strands in the face. The result is a kind of "French negligence." A high tail made of waves will also look fashionable.

 

Fast hairstyles include all sorts of fancy styling from harnesses. For example, an “elven hairstyle” is performed as follows:

  1. At the level of the ears, it is separated from the face on both sides by a strand of hair (the width is selected according to preferences).
  2. Then each of the curls is twisted into a bundle, which is fixed on the back of the head in a common tail, or braided into a thin pigtail.

This hairstyle is a kind of classic "Malvina", but in a new version.

Depending on the suppleness of the hair, you can collect them in a high tail.

Evening styling for long hair

The main difference between evening styling of long hair from daytime is solemnity and originality, dissimilarity to everyday everyday life. For such cases, many options are suitable.

 

"Hollywood Waves":

  1. Separate the hair into the middle part and wind it on a wide curling iron.
  2. Fix the hair with varnish.

 

"Retro":

  1. Hair divided into parting.
  2. The side where the main body of hair remained, curl into a light wave.
  3. Use a soft brush to draw 1–2 times along the curls and put the hair on the back of the head in a bun. You can collect the strands both in the center of the head, and lay it on its side.
  4. Fix the hair with varnish (if available, with sparkles).

 

"Tail on its side." This hairstyle looks especially cute with a bang.

  1. Collect hair in a low side tail so that it descends from the shoulder to the chest.
  2. Curl locks on a large curling iron, paying special attention to the ends.
  3. Fix hairdo with varnish.

 

We offer another elegant hairstyle, which is known, probably, to all women, but under different names. Soviet “shell”, French “bunch”, French “knot”, French “twist” are performed as follows:

  1. Brush hair.
  2. Assemble with your hands in the tail at the back of the head, but do not fasten with an elastic band.
  3. To twist hair, as if bending and collecting them in a fictional shell.
  4. On one side of the face, you can let out a strand and, if desired, curl it with forceps into a light curl.
  5. Fix hairdo with varnish.

Sometimes it’s not easy to put long hair in a French “knot”. To facilitate the task, use a side roller: with its help it is easy to "twist" and lock the strands.

The collected long hair in a “shell” will look great both with a business suit, and with an elegant “floor” dress that repeats the silhouette of the body, or with an outfit in linen style with a deep neckline.

Image Tips

 

There are general tips and advice on the formation of hairstyles. So, the styling should be appropriate for the situation. For example, at a festive event - evening, at the gym - tail, braid or bun for convenience.

It is recommended to adhere to the natural structure of the hair. That is, if the hair is curly, you should not straighten it constantly, and vice versa. By emphasizing natural beauty, you can look more attractive and maintain healthy hair for years to come.

 

It is worth considering that a hairstyle no worse than makeup helps to hide flaws, paying attention to advantages, for example:

  1. Lushly laid bangs will be able to hide a wide forehead, emphasizing the eyes and beautiful cheeks.
  2. If the face is very round, do not make strongly smoothed and long hairstyles. Light waves will look much more advantageous.
  3. If you are dissatisfied with the shape of the ears, flowing curls or loose hair will correct the situation.

 

When choosing a hairstyle, you should also start from the outfit:

  1. The dress in the style of "baby-dol" will be decorated with slightly curled loose curls.
  2. A strict dress or business suit will become even more “serious” in tandem with bunched hair.
  3. A corset dress with open shoulders or in a linen style implies a high hairstyle and even a diadem.

But it is important when choosing a hairstyle to build on not only generally accepted recommendations, but also on your own preferences. It is very important to feel comfortable in the selected way.

Any of the above hairstyles can be easily and simply repeated with your own hands at home. Try it yourself!
