Voluminous hairstyles and styling

Modern volumetric styling is not at all those huge bouffants from roots to ends that were in vogue in the 60s and 70s of the last century. Thanks to the abundance of styling products and beauty care products, there is no need to torment your hair, combing it and filling it with varnish like a helmet. Volume is achieved through the cutting technique (cascade, ladder), when the hair itself fits into a lush hairstyle, without needing either prolonged drying or an abundance of foam or mousse.

Even if the hairstyle involves a light bouffant (for example, a malvinka or a ponytail with a voluminous crown), then it is done differently than before, this greatly spoils the hair structure. To create a fleece, there are special tools that make it easier and less traumatic.

A distinctive feature of lush styling - volume... Or it is concentrated in one area of ​​the head, for example, on the crown in a ponytail or malvinka, or captures completely the entire root zone of hair growth... Volume along the entire length of the strand (from roots to ends) has long been out of fashion.

Today's hairdressing fashion offers a huge number of voluminous styling. Smooth hair, as if "nailed" to the head, has long been out of trend. Even straight hair suggests light root volume.

Choosing the option you want is not as easy as you might think. Because for all types and lengths of hair, there are many stylish, beautiful, elegant, sophisticated styling options.

In order not to harm your hair, of course, it is better to try to comb it to a minimum. However, this is not always possible. Nevertheless There are a number of guidelines that can help reduce hair damage.

• Try to comb only the root zone - the crown or the back of the head. It is not necessary to torment hair along the entire length with a fleece.
• Do not under any circumstances try to "comb" the fleece with a comb. Dampen your hair and rinse very gently with a mild shampoo and conditioner, preferably with oils or silicone, to make it easier to detangle further. Before combing your hair, let it dry without using a hair dryer.
• If you did your hair with a pile the day before, refrain from styling the same way the next day. The same applies to the forceps, even if you have used thermal protection.

The advantages of volumetric styling are hard not to notice: they are lush, light, create the look of thick hair, adorn their owner. Most of the styling is universal and can be appropriate both during the day - at work, walking, study, and in the evening - at any event of varying degree of formality.

The disadvantages of such hairstyles lie in the technology of their "manufacture". Many bulky styling involves bouffant, which, even when performed in a gentle mode (at the roots), still harms the hair. In addition, if the hair is combed, and then the resulting volume is fixed with varnish, and the created hairstyle contains hairpins, hairpins, invisible hairpins, It can be very difficult to “disassemble” this structure at the end of the event. And it also hurts the hair.

Lovers of constantly combing their hair should know that this is strongly discouraged - the hair becomes brittle, it can often break at the very base. Thinning hair is not the effect that a woman achieves when doing her hair. Therefore, if you want daily volume at the hair roots, it is better to consider the possibility of a cascade haircut, which both adds visual density to the hair, and tames strands of any type, forcing them to fit into a fluffy hat.

There are quite a few options for performing voluminous hairstyles. Let's dwell on the most popular ones.

If you want your hairstyle to combine volume and curls, you still need to decide - either it will be lush, or the curls will be large and clear. Otherwise, your image will be overloaded. Volume and curls are best combined on long hair. Think carefully about the choice of styling products - they should be completely invisible, but at the same time "hold" the hair.

From the middle of the length, roll your hair with tongs or curlers. Add volume to the crown area with powder or other root area product. Style the curls as you wish, mixing them with straight strands. Work especially carefully on the strands that frame the face. Fix the hairstyle with nail polish.

A little more "disheveled»Styling is suitable for a date or meeting with friends, a little more neat - for a solemn event. Root volume products create the effect of thickening hair, so styling looks especially attractive.

Then the hairstyle will not look deliberate, but will acquire the necessary degree of boho-chic.

First of all, when the words “volume” and “fleece” come to mind, of course, babette comes - a spectacular styling that came from the 1960s, but has not lost its relevance today. However, babette, like any other styling with such a large pile, is of little use as a hairstyle for every day. But on the way out it looks really good.

Not every voluminous hairstyle involves bouffant.For example, for short hair, it is enough to dry it with mousse or foam with a volume effect and brushto make the desired volume appear. The same applies to bob haircuts, bobs, various cascades and ladders.

If you are doing a "voluminous ponytail" styling in the spirit of a dandy or pin-up, here you cannot do without a pile. Try not to overuse such styling on a daily basis, as fleece is very harmful to hair, especially if your strands are prone to brittleness.

Try replacing the bouffant with a root volume dryer whenever possible. Never comb your hair along the entire length, this will ruin them very much.

The essence of the corrugation is in creating even waves (they can be both large and small) on the hair. Shirring always adds volume to the hair. Therefore, the combination of volumetric styling with corrugation is completely logical and harmonious.

Having created a basic voluminous hairstyle, the strands can be corrugated, now large corrugation is in fashion. Small things create an association with the fashion of the 2000s, such hairstyles are not relevant this season. Although it is precisely the small corrugation that gives the hairstyle the greatest volume. A combination of different types of corrugation looks interesting and fashionable, especially on long hair.

If you do your hairstyle to go out, then a corrugated babette will look spectacular.

Styles in which weaving is present look appropriate both during the day and in the evening. Of course, for such hairstyles, first of all, the length of the hair is needed. The bangs may or may not be present. It will take 5-10 minutes to create a hairstyle, but the hair should be well-groomed and prepared. To create a volumetric weaving you need:

• a comb for your hair type and length;
• a comb with frequent teeth;
• many hairpins, invisible hairpins, small hair ties;
• means for fixing hairstyles.

Like any other style, braiding begins with washing and drying your hair. Next, the hair should be combed away from the face. Separate a not very wide strand with a comb with frequent teeth and secure it with a clip. Further, with the same comb, you need to separate 3-4 strands in the region of the crown and back of the head, then either lightly comb them, or screw them onto tongs... The resulting curls must be fixed with varnish, and then with a brush, close them with the strand that you separated on the forehead.

After that, you can start weaving a regular braid from three rows, gradually moving to a 4-row one. Strands are woven into the braid on the left and right sides, this is done evenly. It is impossible to make the braid tight, on the contrary, each step of weaving must be straightened with the help of your fingers, stretched, making the braid more magnificent. Where to add volume depends on the type of your face. You can add it anywhere - from the temples to the crown.

As soon as the fluffy braid has absorbed all the strands on the temples and forehead, it is fixed low on the back of the head with hairpins. Next, you need to comb the curls and braid a 3-row loose braid, securing the ends with an elastic band that has the shade of your hair and is completely invisible. Then, from the end of the braid, stretch the resulting braid one link at a time.

Like any other volumetric styling, volumetric braiding will look best on healthy, well-groomed, strong hair. Your braid should look like you didn't use any styling to weave it. Therefore, it is better to start with the very minimum of styling products. If you are braiding for the evening, it should be combined with your outfit, and you can decorate it with a tiara or beautiful hairpins.

One of the simplest styling, which looks good on any hair length, and also looks equally impressive both during the day and in the evening, will take no more than 10 minutes. In order to do it, you need to wash your hair and dry your hair with a hairdryer. Next, the head must be tilted down and applied to the roots with a means to give root volume. Where volume is more desirable, strands need to be fluffed up with your hands and give them splendor.

Straightening up and assessing the result, the styling is completed with a comb suitable for your hair length, smoothing where necessary, and whipping it where necessary. If you feel like it, you can put your hair in a knot or bun, or you can leave it loose.

Another hairstyle option is to make a side parting, voluminous curls in the way described above, after which all hair is fixed on the side and bottom, forming either a tail or a low, exquisite knot. No special devices are needed for this, everything is done in an elementary way.

It doesn't take long to create a daily style with volume on your own at home. Wash your hair and dry it a little with a towel. Next, apply a product for root volume, divide the hair into strands of small width, after which wind each strand on large curlers. You need to curl your hair in the direction from the forehead, if your haircut does not have a bang, if there is a bang, then it is wrapped in the direction of growth.

If volume is required in the temporal region, the temporal locks also need to be wound - in the direction from the face. After the hair is completely dry, you need to comb it well so that there are no kinks or curls left. The basis for further modeling of hairstyles has been created.

Before choosing a style, you need to consider your hair type. If they are thick and manageable, it is enough to apply a moisturizing balm after washing. If you are the owner of fine and unruly hair, then you will need combination of several styling products in order to tame the "dandelion" on the head.

Another option for voluminous styling on short hair is contrast drying with a hairdryer... To do this, the hair must be washed, dried and applied with foam or mousse for volume. The amount of the product should be no larger than a walnut. The strands are dried with the head tilted forward and to the side, the air jet should be warm. Then you need to divide the strands into several parts, comb each with a round brush, twist it inward.

You should not give your hairstyle an overly strict pattern - this is not fashionable. The strands should be carefully laid around the face. After all the hair has been curled up, the hair dryer is switched to the "cold blowing" mode, and the curls are straightened with your fingers as you want.

Next, you need to beat the styling with your fingers a little so that it does not look too deliberate. The whole sequence of actions will not take you more than 10 minutes. The more well-groomed and nourished your hair, the better the styling looks, this rule is the same for any length of the strands. It is also true that the fewer styling products used, the better.

For medium-length hair, almost any volumetric styling is suitable: curls, a bun, even braiding. Moreover, each of them is applicable both as everyday and as a day off.

The combination of root volume and large corrugation or "surfer" curls looks very nice, especially in combination with dyeing such as California highlighting with the effect of sunburned hair.

As a hairstyle for every day, it is enough to use a basic styling with a root volume. The ends can be twisted slightly with tongs, then you get sloppy curls. If you work in an office with a strict dress code, you can tie your hair into a knot. The result is a voluminous and elegant styling that goes well with the business style of clothing.

If you are a lucky owner of long or very long hair, you can afford any voluminous braiding you want. It could be a Greek braid, Princess Elsa's braid from Frozen, or a mermaid tail., and a combination of several braids of different thickness, intertwined into one.

Besides braids, you can style your hair in knots and buns. They may be sloppy or neat, high (at the top of the head) or low (at the back of the head).

To learn how to quickly and beautifully style your hair at home, training is required. There are no special secrets, there is a certain sequence of actions that must be clearly followed, and then the result will certainly be.

It is better not to start trying to braid a voluminous braid if you have half an hour before leaving the house, and you have never done such hairstyles before - neither yourself, nor anyone else. Moreover, the atmosphere of haste very often makes any attempt fail - because of the stress experienced and the passing time. Therefore, if you want to "fill your hand" on voluminous styling, choose a time when you are in no hurry, let it be, for example, a day off. Wash your hair, dry it with a towel. With the towel wrapped around your hair, prepare whatever you need to get your hair done.

When the strands are a little dry, proceed. Dry your hair with a hairdryer in any of the ways described in the article: if your haircut is with bangs, put it in front, if not, lay the strands in the direction from the forehead. Create one of the basic hairstyles. In principle, you already have an excuse to "go public" - to walk a new style. But you can not stop there and do something more complex - curls, low bun, voluminous braid.
