Any girl can do her own hair if you have a couple of simple devices at hand and know the principles of hair styling in length: short, medium, long hair.
Goddess of Olympus - Greek hairstyle for medium hair
The Greek hairstyle is beautiful and easy to implement, while it looks incredibly impressive and elegant. To create it, you need a hair band decorated with various beads, ribbons and braids, as well as a few hairpins.
The basis of styling is made up of light wavy strands, which are recommended to be done in various ways:
- wind your hair on medium diameter curlers;
- curl curls with a large curling iron;
- use an iron to create large curls;
- create waves using small bunches wrapped around damp hair and dried with a hair dryer.
When all the curls are curled, you need to carefully comb them, or separate the curls with your fingers. Next, a bandage is put on the head so that it slightly overlaps the forehead. Stepping back a few curls from the face, you should take a strand of medium thickness on both sides and start twisting loose bundles. After, they are removed under the tape, and strands are again taken from the bulk of the hair, and the process is repeated.
This is done until all the hair is wrapped around a soft headband. The remaining ends are hidden inside the hairstyle and secured with hairpins. The curls remaining on the face must be broken into small curly locks so that they gently frame the face. The entire hairstyle should be secured with varnish so that it lasts longer.
Hairstyle bun for medium hair
A voluminous bun is a versatile hairstyle that looks great both in a casual look and in an evening look. To create a classic bun for medium hair, you need an elastic band, a few hairpins and a hair donut.
Depending on the desired height of the bun, the tail is made tight or not very. Stylists recommend experimenting: it is allowed to tie the hair carelesslyto finish off your hairstyle with a light and casual look, or make a perfectly sleek ponytail for a more austere look.
After that, the collected hair is threaded into a bagel and strand by strand are wound around it. You can wrap both straight curls and twisted into bundles. The remaining ends should be hidden under the bun and secure the entire hairstyle with hairpins or invisible hairpins.
In the case when there is no hair donut at hand, styling is created from a bundle.
The entire tail is pulled into a dense flagellum until it begins to fold itself into a bun. It should be carefully spread around the base of the tail and secured with hairpins.
Elegant bun with braids
To diversify a regular bundle, you should add various weaves to it.
Professionals offer several options for the location of the braids in this hairstyle:
- One or more braids start at the base of the tail, intertwine with each other and curl around the elastic. With this type of styling, the hair at the roots is smoothly styled.
- The braids start at the base of the hair and are gathered into a common bump using hairpins. To give the hairstyle more volume, you should stretch several strands in braids and leave one twisted strand at the face.
- Weaving is performed only on the head area, and smooth hair or bundles go into the bun.
Each option is recommended to be decorated with small accessories to create a more festive look.
Hollywood waves for medium hair
The stellar curl is perfect for a sophisticated evening look.
Waves should be done on perfectly straight hair of the same length.
To create large curls, it is recommended to use a cone curling iron... The hair is divided into a side parting and combed well. Each strand is twisted to the face, and after being removed from the curling iron, it is fixed with a clip. In this position, it is recommended to wait for all curls to cool. After removing the clamps, the hair is gently combed and fixed with varnish.
To make your own hairstyle for medium hair in a retro style, in the process of winding the strands, you should change the position of the curling iron, leaving soft "creases" along the entire length of the curl. All curls must be at the same distance along the entire length of the hair, creating the effect of a solid wave.
Curls with flagella
When there is no way to make curly curls with a curling iron or you just don't want to spoil your hair with high temperatures, you can use an easy way to create mischievous curls using simple elastic hair ties.
Curling is done on slightly damp hairwhich are pre-combed well. The entire mass of hair is divided into equal parts, taking into account that the thicker each strand, the larger the curls will turn out. It is necessary to twist each of them into a tight bundle and put them in small bundles, secured with small elastic bands.
In this form, it is recommended to wait until the hair is completely dry.
It is best to do the entire process of creating flagella before going to bed so that the curls dry naturally. But if there is very little time to create a spectacular hairstyle, you need to dry all your hair with a hairdryer.
After removing all the elastic bands, separate the strands with your fingers and lightly sprinkle with varnish so that the curls last longer.
Elegant brushed hairstyle
To add volume to the hairstyle, you should pay attention to all kinds of bouffant options. With it, you can lift hair that is thin at the roots, or create looks with lush hair ends.
Medium hair length is ideal for combing, as the curls are not very heavy, as a result of which this kind of hairstyle keeps its shape well.
To create volume, professionals recommend using combs with fine teeth.
The hair on the top of the head is divided into strands, each of which should be lifted and combed at the base in short movements from top to bottom. The resulting result must be slightly smoothed to remove irregularities. Next, you can collect the top hair at the back of your head and secure it with a small elastic band or hairpin.
Bulky braid with loose hair
This hairstyle on her hair, made by herself, makes it possible for medium-length curls to remain loose and at the same time removes strands that interfere with the face. All you need to create this styling is 2 small elastic bands matched to your hair.
On both sides of the face, you should take strands of medium thickness, twist them into weak bundles and fasten them to the back of the head. From the resulting ponytail, you can braid any braids, for example, "fishtail", French or classic braids.
From the finished weaving, it is necessary to pull out several strands so that the braid becomes voluminous. To create a delicate look, add some small fake flowers to the braided hair.
A basket of braids for medium hair
You can beautifully style your hair of medium length for all occasions by weaving a basket of braids.In this hairstyle, the strands are neatly gathered all over the head, braiding it around and creating the effect of a wicker basket. Short hair is great for this style., since there are no extra protruding strands left.
At the beginning, the hair is divided into two equal parts with a circular parting. The central strands are collected in a ponytail. Having separated a small strand near the ear, you should cross it with a strand from the tail.
The whole further process consists in braiding the braids around the head, alternately adding hair from different sides. Depending on how tightly the basket is woven, how smooth the hairstyle will look.
At the end, the edge of the weaving is fixed with an elastic band, and the small protruding ends are hidden under the braid. To add puffiness to the hairstyle, separate strands should be stretched.
