Hairstyle history
This hairstyle is rightfully considered one of the most ancient, because it was popular in ancient times. In ancient Greece, women gathered their hair at the back of their heads, which made their face more open and allowed them to showcase a graceful neck. You can see a similar hairstyle on the statues of Hera and Aphrodite, revered by the Greeks.

From the Rococo era, instructions for ladies have come down to us on how to make a knot of hair, decorated with a velvet bag, and in the era of classicism, hairstyles with hair rollers and loose curls at the face were popular. In the Land of the Rising Sun, beams were worn by both women and men, and ladies often did two such buns on the sides.
This is the prototype of the hairstyle popular among girls today, especially among fans of Japanese manga comics.

As for our days, the fashion for an understated beam returned in the 50s of the XX century. This is how French celebrities began to collect their hair, after which all other ladies began to imitate them: from housewives to business women. Now the bun has become one of the most popular hairstyles, because we collect hair in this way when we do household chores, when we go to work in the office, and sometimes we do it for special occasions - it is enough to complicate the classic version and decorate it with spectacular accessories.

Who will it go to?
The low look of these hairstyles is considered more versatile than the tall one. The latter may be inappropriate on the head of very tall girls, as it adds height. And creative "careless" high buns are not very suitable for little ladies. And also women with an imperfect neck need to be careful with them. Quite another matter is the low type of the beam. Each representative of the fair sex can find her own among the variety of models, which will emphasize her advantages and divert attention from shortcomings.
Paradoxically, the bunch on the back of the head is contraindicated only for women of age.
By constructing it on their heads, ladies add age to themselves, especially if there is already gray hair in their hair.

How to do it yourself?
Let's consider step by step different beam creation schemes. Among them there are both more complex and lighter models.
On short hair
A bun on short hair is a little more difficult, so you will need more hairdressing accessories. This is an elastic band, short hairpins and invisibility, a bagel elastic and a volumetric foam elastic band.
Before tackling this hairstyle, you need to make sure that the length of your hair reaches at least the middle of your neck. They need to be collected at the back of the head, so that you get a tail at least with a palm length. Otherwise, even various hairstyle accessories won't help you. For more volume, pre-wash and dry your hair. If necessary, apply some strong foam before blow-drying your hair.

On medium
Medium hair means shoulder length. To create a simple hairstyle out of them, proceed as follows:
- take the top of your hair and divide it in half along the parting;
- wind all the strands inward so that the curls are the same on both sides;
- Gather your hair with an elastic band, and then stick your hair through it again without pulling it all the way out;
- lay out the resulting bundle and pin it with hairpins.

On long
With sufficient length, even such a simple version will look voluminous and interesting.
Classical
There are only two stages of its creation:
- make a low ponytail and tie it with an elastic band;
- wrap the elastic in a circle with your hair so that they are all involved, and pin with pins.
You don't need to use an elastic band. To do this, you need to take all the hair, twist it with a tourniquet and, twisting it clockwise, make a "bun". You can pin it with pins, hairpins, and an ordinary pencil.
