Hairstyles of the 20s: ideas and rules for creating

Many people are right in asserting that fashion is cyclical, and after some turn of time everything returns. The new is the well-forgotten old. Forgetting some kind of trend for a certain period of time, later with letting go of zeal, you return to it. This moment did not pass by women's hairstyles. Today, what was popular almost a hundred years ago is again entering the world stage. Our article is devoted to hairstyles in the style of the 20s of the XX century.

Retrostyle, one way or another, has always been relevant. Clothes were also popular (ruffles, shapeless rectangular-shaped dresses, hats with feathers), and hairstyles. Retro style always caused a great stir, capturing fashion houses, carpets, parties. But let's talk about the hairstyle, After all, it is she who is the final stage in creating the image and adds its own zest to it. Unlike clothes, hairstyles can look harmoniously in any mixed look, regardless of the environment and overall outfit.

What is the advantage of hairstyles of the 20s? You can choose a hairstyle for both long hair and short. Any request will be satisfied, especially if you want to radically change the image. At that time, there was a real riot among women, the fashion allowed the ladies to relax: to change tight corsets and long skirts for shapeless mini-dresses. Hair was no longer pulled into heavy tall hairstyles, and bright makeup appeared on the face.

Hairstyles for short hair were very popular among women of that time.Ladies are tired of long curls that were difficult to braid in hairstyles. In addition, it was difficult to care for and wash them. Therefore, as soon as there was a “revolutionary boom” in Europe, almost all women decided to say goodbye to their long curls. In those years, they were offered a series of haircuts, which are relevant to this day.

• For example, bubikopf or, in Russian, “bubikopf”, is translated from German as “little baby’s head”. The very first short haircut among women, before its popularization, was used only for any subsequent medical interventions or during hostilities. The First World War was the first impetus for changing the female image: when the sisters of mercy helped the wounded soldiers at the front, not a single girl cared about her long hair. They began to be considered impractical, so the hair was cut "under the boy" or left only a small semicircle.

• Another haircut - pixie, translated from English as "fairy" or "elf". In a boyish rebellious haircut, which is a short lock of hair sticking out casually in different directions. This hairstyle gives the image of mischief and negligence.

• Garzon - This haircut is somewhat reminiscent of the aforementioned pixie hairstyle, but it has a major and significant difference. Pixie cuts individual strands of different lengths, and the garzon - all in one line. The word "Garzon" itself comes from France and translates as "boy."

• Haircut bean or bean-garcon. It was originally believed that the haircut bob was invented by the French hairdresser Alexander de Paris, who was inspired by the images of Joan of Arc. But there is an opinion that such a hairstyle did not become popular at all because of the French hairdresser, but because of the famous dancer Irene Castle around 1915. Many argue that the girl was too uncomfortable to dance with long hair. At that time, many ladies considered Madame Castle a model of elegance and taste, so they decided to trust the choice of a dancer and risked cutting their curls.

Of course, in the 20s. XX century, still there were girls who did not dare to say goodbye to their beautiful long hair, therefore, adjusting to new fashion trends, they came up with new ones and adapted popular styles. It was more difficult to work with long hair and they needed more time for styling, but few could refuse the foundations. Therefore, one of the most popular hairstyles was considered a “wave” for the entire length of the hair.

As mentioned earlier, fashion is cyclical, and now women's hairstyles in the style of the 20s are again becoming popular. But if there are no problems with a haircut, then you will have to work on self-styling. If your haircut is a bob, pixie or garson, then with the help of an ironing or styler you will only need to straighten the strands, after spraying your hair with a spray for styling and fixing. Among the hairstyles that date back to this historical era, one can distinguish curls in the style of the Great Gatsby and various bunches.

It's no secret that a new wave of popularization of the style of the 20s arose precisely thanks to this film.What is popular in Hollywood is also popular all over the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that many want to do the same hairstyle as the main character. The classics of the genre are bob or square with the length of the hair to the chin. This length will be enough to lay the famous waves.

For styling you will need:

• forceps;
• ironing;
• styling or any other styling tool;
• varnish.

To begin with, it is worth washing your hair, letting it dry, without using a hair dryer. Then apply styling or styling cream to wet hair. Not too large a layer, distribute the product over the entire surface of the hair. Next, with the help of a hair dryer, we finally dry the hair (during drying, it is desirable to lift the curls up).

It is necessary to determine in advance which side the waves will fall. Separate hair parted. While you are separating the hair, it is worth turning on and heating the tongs. Twist the curls in small locks on the forceps from the ends of the hair to the crown. You need to keep it for 5-10 minutes, if you have very heavy and thick hair, you can increase the time by another five minutes.

After all the curls are curled, you need to dissolve the hair, comb it slightly and fix the result with a lacquer with weak fixation. Curls should be light and soaring.

The bun will become a universal hairstyle for hair of any length. To create it you will need:

• hair brush;
• comb for combing;
• gum;
• varnish;
• Invisibility
• accessories for decoration (dressings, headbands, tiaras);
• clamps;
• styler.

To begin with, wash and dry your head. Next, you need to separate the upper part of the hair in the direction from one temple to another. Fix the resulting strands with a clip so that they do not interfere much. Take the rest of the hair with an elastic band in the tail, gently comb and form a volumetric bundle.

We return to the fixed hair, dissolve it, divide it into equal parts. With the help of a styler, we begin to curl hair with thin strands. The curling iron should be kept horizontally. Curls should be curled for about 3-5 minutes each. After the time has passed, remove the strand from the styler, manually twist it tightly and stab it with the clamps. Continue wrapping the rest of the strands.

After the hair has cooled down after curling, remove the clips, comb the hair from the face and form a light wave. The ends of the hair should be fixed with invisible or a clip on the back of the head under the bun. We fix the finished hairstyle with varnish and add a tiara as an accessory.
