Snail hairstyle: what is it, who suits it and how to do it?

Beautiful and well-groomed hair is an adornment for every lady. However, sometimes simple styling is not enough, so it is often worth doing a beautiful and neat hairstyle on special occasions. So, an excellent option would be a snail hairstyle, which is widespread and in love among the fair sex with luxurious curls.

The laconic and aristocratic snail hairstyle came to us from an atmospheric country - France. There, girls and women began to use this method of braiding hair 100 years ago. However, French ladies are not the first to invent the snail. Many millennia ago, an analogue of modern hairstyles was worn by ancient Greek ladies.

At the moment, there is no universal and only acceptable way to create a snail. - modern women of fashion, as well as experts in hairdressing, have invented a large number of variations and varieties of the classic hairstyle. One thing remains unchanged: no matter what version of the snail you choose, this hairstyle will always look feminine and advantageous.

Before proceeding with the direct creation of a hairstyle, it is necessary to prepare the necessary tools. So, you will need:

• massage type comb;
• comb-comb;
• hairpins;
• invisible hairpins;
• clamps;
• a cosmetic product for styling hair (it can be foam, mousse, gel, varnish, etc.);
• accessories (jewelry should be chosen depending on your general image and the occasion for which you are doing your holiday hairstyle).

In addition to preparing the tools, you need to pay attention to the hair itself. The head needs to be washed, and then dried thoroughly (and, if possible, and if there is time, it is not recommended to use a hairdryer) and comb with a massage brush. Also, while washing and drying your hair, you can apply a mask or conditioner to your hair that matches your hair type and improves its general condition.

After the preparatory stage is over, you should start weaving.

First of all, you need to comb your hair back (if you wear bangs or want to give your hairstyle a flirtation, then it is at this moment that you need to release the desired strands). For convenience, hair that will not be pulled together can be secured with a clip.

Now all the hair must be thrown to one side of the head (of your choice). At this point in weaving, it is important to comb your hair smoothly, because strands that come loose can ruin your hairstyle. It is in order to make the hairstyle as neat as possible that stylists advise using foams, gels and mousses when combing.

Next, the hair needs to be fixed in the middle of your head with the help of invisible hairpins or hairpins (they must be placed in an upright position). To do this, you need to use two mirrors to be able to monitor and control the process.

The part of the hair that has remained free (unsecured with invisible hairpins or hairpins) must be twisted with a tourniquet and secured in the opposite direction over the hairpins to hide them. The end of the harness must also be threaded inside the snail and secured with pins.

Now start styling your bangs and strands (you can curl them to create a romantic look). Also, at the end of styling, do not forget to sprinkle hair with fixing polish.

The second popular option is the braided snail. This variety is more difficult to execute, however, it looks more effective. Most often, a braided snail is made on the hair of young women of fashion - the hairstyle looks original and perky.

So, after all the preparatory stages have been passed (they are similar to the stages described above), the hair must be divided into several sectors, separately highlighting the round strand at the very top of the head. Now this strand must be divided into 3 more smaller strands and begin to weave a braid with a braid from the outside (the process is similar to the process of weaving a spikelet, only in our case the braid is done not from the inside, but from the outside). Weaving should be done in a spiral until you weave all the hair of the young princess into the snail. The edge of the braid must be secured with an elastic band and passed under the hair to hide.

It is believed that this type of hair styling, being traditional, will suit almost any lady (this applies to age, social status, lifestyle and profession). Nevertheless, most often a businesswoman and girls who are going to a gala event style their hair in this way. Hair stylists distinguish other categories of girls who will like this hairstyle:

• adult women (hairstyle will add charm and efficiency);

• young girls (the snail will give femininity and grace, suitable for an evening out);

• little girls (styling will look fun and perky if you add ribbons to the weaving or decorate your hair with bright hairpins and invisible hairpins).

In addition, the ability to style your hair in a snail hairstyle does not depend on the type of your curls. - in any case, it will be possible to find a stylish alternative.So, on straight hair it will turn out to make a smooth and aristocratic styling, on curls - careless and original. Also, this hairstyle is suitable for thin or, conversely, thick hair. There are practically no restrictions.

The only nuance that is recommended to be taken into account is the length of the hair.

An important advantage of a hairstyle is that you can weave it yourself.
