A bundle of braids
The basis of the bundle of braids is multiple, from 4 to 10, braids on the left and right. Having collected them in a common bundle in the middle of the back of the head, it is necessary to secure them with hairpins.
Hairspray fixes the hairstyle. The difficulty arises in the case of cascading haircuts. They give the pigtails different lengths, and do not gather well in a common bundle.
Twisted tail bun
The inverted ponytail is a simple but original hairstyle in a hurry. The basis of the hairstyle is a ponytail tightened with an elastic band at the bottom of the nape. The hair is threaded into a loop of parted hair over the tail.
Long hair requires folding the loop in several layers. The loop forms a bundle, which is held together with hairpins. A light bouffant on the strands will help to create volume for the bundle. You can decorate the bun in various ways, depending on the purpose of the hairstyle: everyday, business, evening.
Low extravagant tail
To model the tail, you need to fasten the washed, dried hair with an elastic band at the bottom of the back of the head. Smoothly smoothed hair on the crown adds a special elegance to the hairstyle.
The extravagance of this design is added by various options for its design. Slightly tousled strands give the tail a casual look. The strands can be braided or large curls can be created. Another option is to secure the tail with an elastic band on the side. A low, extravagant ponytail looks good on thick hair.
Hairstyle "Malvinka"
Home conditions are suitable for creating a hairstyle for medium hair model "Malvinka". This hairstyle is suitable for romantic people who like to fantasize. Its advantage is versatility for all types of long and medium hair.
There are many options for modeling hairstyles, but they boil down to the main thing: fixing hair from the temples to the back of the head. The temporal locks can be straight, collected in pigtails, flagella, bows. The hair on the back of the head curls into curls, fine or coarse, or remains straight.
It is allowed to comb the strands on the crown, apply the effect of "wet" hair. Depending on the destination, "Malvinka" can be everyday, festive, evening. For solemn romantic occasions, elegant hairpins and fabric bows are added to the hairstyle.
Brushed ponytail
A brushed ponytail creates extra volume for thin, straight hair. It looks great on girls with an oval face shape, a long neck.
To model the tail, it is necessary to raise the hair high, fix it with an elastic band. Then lightly beat the hair. Wrap an elastic band with a separate thin strand; pin the end of the strand at the bottom with an invisible one to match the hair.An interesting option will be in which the tail is intercepted in several places with elastic bands.
Volumetric spikelet
A bulky spikelet is a type of French braid. It is ideal for medium to particularly long hair. Thick hair visually becomes thicker if you first comb them slightly, twist them with tongs.
The use of styling products can add volume to the hairstyle. The advantages of a hairstyle lie in the variety of options. A spikelet can be braided from the crown, from the temples. It can become the basis for a beam, a crown.
Sloppy sideways braid
The advantage of a sloppy braid is its ease of weaving. A classic braid, braided asymmetrically, can be considered the first step towards acquiring more sophisticated skills in styling braids. Insufficient experience in weaving can easily be passed off as deliberate negligence, which will give the whole hairstyle a touch of playfulness, "boyishness".
To create volume before braiding, it is advisable to slightly curl the hair with electric tongs, divide the curls into strands. Do not tighten the strands tightly when weaving. They should create the illusion of splendor and easy unwinding.
Interesting fish tail made of flagella
The unusual style of weaving "fishtail" gives the hairstyle originality. This weave is well suited for thin, thin hair. To add volume to your hairstyle, curl your hair slightly before braiding.
Weaving principle: thin strands on the left are added over the left side. Thin strands on the right are superimposed over the right side. The result is a semblance of "scales". By stretching the strands slightly, you can achieve more volume. Charm to the hairstyle is given by a slight carelessness of weaving.
Pigtail around the ponytail
The ponytail is considered simple in execution technique. The monotony and dullness of the design can be easily supplemented with interesting finds, for example, pigtail decoration. A prerequisite for such a hairstyle should be a smooth crown.
A strand should be weaved on one side of the tail using the "French braid" technique, with a smooth transition to the other side. The result is a spiral braid that wraps around the tail like a snake. The final touch should be the ends of the braids hidden under the ponytail.
Refined Babette
Babette's hairstyle has remained relevant for half a century. Many modern women yearn for femininity and fragility. The volume of the hairstyle creates the effect of a bare long neck, a slightly tilted head, and a straight posture.
The variety of accessories designed to decorate your hair makes it possible to use Babette for weddings, evening receptions, proms. Refined Babette - a hairstyle of a certain style from the 60s.
This image involves the use of makeup, clothing, accessories that match the style. The emphasis in makeup should be on the expressive upper part of the face and the calm, matte lower part.
Babette in a sloppy version
Carelessness of execution is one of the variants of the Babette hairstyle. A slight mess is a feature of this hairstyle. It is also the main advantage in the process of creating an image. This hairstyle can be done even by a non-professional.
The main principle - fluffed up and rolled hair. In a sloppy version, the smoothness of the crown and beam is not required. Hair should be styled carelessly, even strands or curled curls may remain on the temples. The image of a girl with a careless Babette is a young lady after a stormy night, not having time to comb her hair.
Hairstyle with bandage
Hairstyles for medium hair at home involve the use of additional decorations. A headband can become not only a fashionable accessory, but a detail designed to facilitate and simplify the creation of a hairstyle. Any hairstyle can be complemented with a headband. Their combination can create an image that matches the desire of a woman.
These can be styles:
- "Chicago" (20s - 30s).
- Rockabilly (40s - 50s).
- "Babette" (60s).
- "Hippie" (70s).
- "Hetera" (ancient Greek style).
Original hairstyle in retro style with a headband
Common features of headband hairstyles are their ease of creation, the use of a minimum amount of equipment. The downside of their use may be the subordination of the general ensemble to the chosen style. For example, to choose the style of the 20s, it is necessary to choose not only a hairstyle, but also clothes, accessories, shoes.
Hairstyle "Double Knot"
By the simplicity of execution, the "double knot" is comparable to a ponytail. The hairstyle can be done at home with a minimum of tools and aids.
The "double knot" is located at the bottom of the occiput. Loose straight hair makes it easier to style. To give the necessary stiffness to the hair, a fixative should be used. Decorative hairpins, flowers, hairpins will help to give the hairstyle an elegant look.
Lush bow on the side
For all the seeming complexity, a fluffy bow on the side is easy to do at home. This option suits many girls who want to look romantic. For optimal hold, it is necessary to have hair with increased stiffness. The technique for making a bow on the side is the same as in the classic bow.
It is done by threading the hair through an elastic band attached to the side. The core of the bow should be secured with hairpins or invisible pins. Be sure to secure the bow loops with a fixing agent. A fluffy bow on the side looks like a separate piece of hairdressing art, therefore, it is inappropriate to burden it with additional decorations.
French braid
Medium hair fits well with home styling. The most common base for hairstyles is the French braid. Thanks to the weaving technique, it is convenient to weave strands of cascading haircuts of different lengths into it. Depending on what width of the braid should be, the volume of the interwoven strands is selected.
To add splendor, to create the effect of "thick hair", at the beginning of the work, you can lightly comb the hair from the roots, and at the end - release a few strands from the outside of the braid. You can complete the weaving with a version of the classic braid, or hide the ends of the strands under the braid, securing them with invisibility. The French braid can be considered the basis for many types of hairstyles for medium hair.
Dutch braid
A variation of the French braid is the Dutch braid. The main principle of weaving is laying the strands under the braid. Thus, the braid turns out to be voluminous, as if turned inside out.
This kind of braiding looks great on thick hair. Strands with shades of colors are especially beautiful. Unlike the classic braid, the Dutch braid involves grasping the strands to the left and right of the back of the head. As a final touch, you can slightly loosen the extreme side strands, decorate with decorative hairpins, bows, flowers.
Greek crown
The Greek crown is a type of French spikelet. The execution technique depends on the skills in weaving braids. This hairstyle can be considered the highest skill level, since the weaving starts at the temples and runs around the circumference of the head.
It is necessary to take into account not only the quality of weaving, but also observe the even shape of the circle. This hairstyle requires good skill or the help of a stranger. A girl with a Greek crown, undoubtedly, must adhere to a certain style, involving soft drapery in clothes, calm tones.
Hairstyle Nest
The Nest hairstyle can be done in a variety of ways. They differ in the degree of complexity, the use of special tools.
- Horse tailm is the basis of the simplest option. His strands are combed, styled and fixed with hairspray.
- Nest using a roller. The roller is used as a base under the center main strand and gives the hairstyle more volume.
- Braid nest. Excellent weaving skill is required to complete it. The principle of this Nest is to braid the braids from the ear in an arc.
- Multiple nests. The youth version consists of several twisted plaits in the form of nests. They are located in the lower part of the back of the head and form a chain of beams - nests.
Ballerina bunch
Among the hairstyles for medium hair, which are easy to do at home, we can single out the classic "Ballerina Bun". Such a design is created not only by dancers and gymnasts. It is suitable for creating an office style, an elegant evening look, everyday work that requires a comfortable hairstyle.
The difference between a ballet beam and other types of beams lies in the smoothness of the crown, the clarity of the beam itself, and the strength of the structure. To do this, the hair must be smooth, straightened, richly treated with fixing agents. As an accessory, you can use a hairnet, decorative hairpins.
"Criss-cross": hairstyle, gathered in half
The incompleteness of the design gives originality to the hairstyle.
- Classic or French braids are woven diagonally alternately. Weaving can be completed with elastic bands.
- French braids can be woven crosswise over the main strand, fix the ends with elastic bands, and leave them unbraided. As a result, you get a kind of version of the "Malvinka" hairstyle using the element of French weaving.
- The flagella at the temples are connected diagonally in the center of the back of the head, secured with an elastic band or hair clip. This design of a half-assembled hairstyle can be considered a variant of the "Malvinka" with flagella.
Bundle "Bubble"
The Bubble bundle combines the features of Babette, Nest and the classic bundle. At the heart of the hairstyle is a combed ponytail gathered with an elastic band. The ends of the tail, threaded through the elastic, form a loop. This design forms a bundle. Hairpins and hairspray add volume and strength to your hair.
Bundle "Bubble" can be done by twisting the tail into a bundle. This option is considered lightweight. Decorative hairpins, fabric flowers, hairpins, headbands, large earrings add aesthetics to the Bubble bundle.
Bundle "Donut"
The "Donut" design requires the use of a foam pad - a donut or a thick elastic band. By winding the ends of the tail around a donut, you can get a neat tight bun. An additional effect will be created by a pigtail woven around the bundle.
"Donut" can be located on the crown, back of the head. The design at the base of the neck looks elegant. Any design option assumes straightened and well combed hair. The advantage of the "Donut" bundle is that it is undemanding to the hair structure. It favorably emphasizes the benefits of thick hair and hides the disadvantages of fine strands.
Classic ponytail
Most hairstyles for medium hair are based on the classic ponytail, which is easy to do at home. The classic ponytail has one condition - thick hair of medium length.
Cleanly washed and dried hair is fastened with an elastic band at the crown of the head. A feature of any tail is a fluffy or smooth crown. For smoothness, brush the hair towards the retainer (elastic band). Unruly hair should be sprayed with varnish. A classic ponytail tied at the top of the head favorably increases height, emphasizes the line of the neck and shoulders.
Modern hairstyles offered by stylists are democratic and often simple in technique. They can be made on the basis of a tail, a bundle, braids. The main criterion when choosing a model is a sense of proportion, compliance with your own style.
