Creation of Greek styling
Greek styling is ideal for an evening look. This styling option is suitable for almost all girls.
By choosing different jewelry and accessories for your hairstyle, you can create different looks: from romantic and gentle to bright and daring.
But still, in most cases Greek hairstyle is the embodiment of tenderness and grace... If you lift your hair up, then you can open the graceful neck and shoulders, and complement the image with a necklace or original earrings. To create a romantic look, the bottom row of hair can be left loose, curling the curls with large curling tongs.
Very often, additional accessories are used for Greek styling. This can be ribbons, pearl chains, a hoop, a tiara, or elegant hairpins and hairpins.
With the help of the Greek hairstyle, girls can visually correct the outlines of the face, hiding the flaws. If the face is square, then the released curls on the sides will visually make it oval, and soft waves will soften the lines of the temples and chin. To find the right option, you need to experiment by making several styling options.
Having mastered the basic steps for creating a Greek style hairstyle, the girl will be able to experiment with shapes and embellishments, creating new looks.
Creation of styling in the Greek style looks like this step by step.
- Hair must be curled. This will help add volume to your hair. The size of the curls is selected individually.
- Do not comb your hair after curling, this will break the required structure. Curls do not have to be the same, different sizes can be combined. For example, smaller curls will be at the temples, and larger ones will be located on the back of the head.
- Parting can be done if desired, but this is optional.
- Now you need to select the temporal strands, make a tourniquet out of them, or braid them and fasten them to the back of the head (or just below). At this stage, you can already stop, leaving your hair loose. Or you can collect them in a beautiful bunch. The bundle is collected at random. The classic version is the "shell". The result should be fixed with varnish.
These are the basic steps for creating a Greek hairstyle. You can add something at each stage. For example, you can add a ribbon by securing it around your head. Then it is entwined with temporal strands, and when the bundle is formed, the ends of the hair are hidden under it. Laying with tape is considered a classic option.
For the ribbon, it is better to use a color scheme that matches the dress. Instead of a ribbon, you can take a beautiful headband or tiara.
On the back of the head, the bun can be decorated with a hairpin or hairpins. If the hair remains loose, then they need to be beautifully styled in waves or gathered in a ponytail. The bunch can be done a little to one side, this will add playfulness. It can be left well-gathered or fluffed up a bit, giving it a slight casual look.
At the temples, the hair can be left tucked up or loose small strands. For a larger volume, girls often do a basal bouffant (especially on the top of the head). When choosing jewelry, be guided by the general image.
But do not overdo it, one piece of jewelry will be enough for the entire hairstyle. Don't overload the image, stay youthful and light.
Hollywood waves
Hollywood curls are the stars of choice for the red carpet. The Hollywood wave gives charm, mystery and luxury to the whole image. You can create beautiful curls yourself at home. Loose hair of medium length, laid in a graceful wave, will add elegance to girls, making them feel like adults.
Such styling is more suitable for graduates of grades 9 or 11, but for girls of elementary grades, you can choose a suitable option.
The Hollywood wave (curls) differs from ordinary curls in a beautiful neat styling, most often on one side. All curls should be large and of the same size. A wave is folded from them and fixed with fixing means. In this case, the installation should remain mobile and light.
You cannot use strong hold products that will simply glue all the hair and make the hairstyle heavy and immobile.
At home, curls can be created using curlers, curling iron or ironing. It is most convenient to use a curling iron (tongs), it is easier to control the direction of the curls. Before curling, decide on the location of the parting. Most often it is made oblique so that the hair forms waves beautifully on one side. Parting can be done in the middle, leaving an equal amount of hair on the sides.
After curling, secure the curls with clips until they cool completely. This way the hairstyle will last longer. When all of your hair is curled and cooled, loosen it. Use a sparse-toothed comb or fingers to style your hair into a beautiful wave, giving the desired volume. Secure the result with varnish. If all the hair is pulled back to one side, then the hairstyle can be decorated with a hairpin, flower, tiara or headband. Of course, if it will be combined with the image as a whole.
For young beauties, you can make the wave slightly careless. To create such curls, it is not at all necessary to use an iron or tongs, a hair dryer with a diffuser nozzle will be enough. Apply a little mousse or foam to damp hair and blow dry with a diffuser, using your hands to create curls. The result can be lightly sprinkled with varnish.
A little carelessness in styling will create a light and mischievous look that will suit girls.
Tail options
The ponytail is the most practical hairstyle and many girls don't consider it festive. But this is not so, because there are quite a few options for a ponytail for an evening out. The easiest option is to add accessories. Another solution is to make a structured tail and add volume. Another way is to add a variety of weaves. For girls, you can make 2 Pippi-style tails, it will look very perky.
For an elegant look, it is best to leave the ponytail smooth and add some volume at the top of the head. For girls with medium hair length, it is better to make a tail low: a high one will look ugly (as if chopped off). For a romantic look, the ends can be curled with large tongs, and the tail can be gathered to one side. The hairstyle can be complemented with braiding.
A French volumetric braid can be made in place of the parting (something like a mohawk).
