Greek tail

The styling is quite simple, it is performed using silicone rubber bands of the same color as the hair. Looks better on thick curls.

To complete it, you need to adhere to the following steps:

1. Curl the hair, creating a large curl and lifting at the root.
2. Pull the strands down a little with your hands, do not comb;

4. Part hair above the clip to form a small indentation.
5. Push the ends of the strand through the hole and pull it out, thus closing the elastic and adding a beautiful body wave.

There is also an option for the design of the Greek tail on one side, while wrapping and fixing goes only in one direction. The free strands remaining from the bottom on the other side are twisted into a bundle and invisibly attached to the rest of the mass.

Hairstyle option with asymmetric parting

Greek hairstyles, in a classic style, are parted. Currently, asymmetric options are also used on medium hair. In this case, the parting is located closer to the ear of one of the sides of the head, diagonally, or in the form of a zigzag.

Side parting works well with styling options such as Greek ponytail, if it is drawn on one side and is located on the unused half of the head. It can also be used in a bundle with braids. The diagonal parting is a suitable choice for laying under a bandage or with a karimbos option.

Zig-zag parting can be combined with simpler options that are not cluttered with details, such as a hairstyle with a bandage or bun.

Accessories that will decorate your hair

Decorative accessories are always used to decorate Hellenic hairstyles. As a rule, this is a headband, headband, ribbons, hairpins, hairpins, beads or pearls, stefan, tiara, various thin chains. Metal products can be smooth or twisted.

The headbands look beautiful with small details - leaves (which makes them look like the Greek wreath of a winner), flowers, rhinestones and precious stones.

Only one decoration or a combination of both can be used. If accessories are combined, you should adhere to the rule: one type (for example, a bezel) is neutral and simple in design, the other (for example, hairpins) is decorated with decorative elements.

In the case where the bezel is already stylized for the style, the studs should be invisible. This achieves the necessary balance. Ribbons, headbands and headbands should not merge with the hair color; they should be chosen 2 shades darker or lighter.

The shade of the accessory should not be catchy, a pastel scale is desirable so as not to draw attention from a beautiful hairstyle.

It is better not to use silk and organza headscarves and headbands, as they slip a lot and do not fix the hair. Stefan and tiara are used only in sophisticated evening or wedding options, in everyday styling, they will look out of place.

Greek hairstyles look great on medium length hair. It is enough to embody all the ideas for creating an image, but not so much to complicate and confuse the procedure. The resulting styling can be supplemented with interesting decor, which allows you to combine it with outfits of different styles.
