On long
Not even a professional can create a styling in the Greek style for long hair.

You can easily choose the texture of the material from which it is made, color and shape.
To create such a hairstyle, the curls are carefully combed, and a bandage is put on over the entire hair. Previously, for convenience, the hair can be curled and combed.And lock by lock, the curls along the entire length are selected and thrown over the edge of the bandage. A roll of hair is visually formed along the working part of the dressing. Very long hair can be twisted in the palm of your hand, and then placed behind the rim. In order for the hairstyle to last a long time, the roller is fixed with “invisibles” or small hairpins. All styling is fixed with hairspray.
Such a hairstyle can be performed partially, by fixing only the side strands, and the total hair length is left free.
You can create a beautiful hairstyle on long hair without using a headband. It is necessary to make a fleece and weave strands into light openwork braids on both sides of the head, and their ends neatly fixed. The hair on the top must be combed, added volume and fixed on the back of the head. Braids are pinned neatly on top of the stud. To create a finished look, the hairstyle is decorated with a beautiful hairpin.
On long curls another hairstyle in the Greek style looks great. To create it, hair must first be washed, dried and curled the entire volume in small strands. Curls slightly straightened by hands. After this, part of the hair is fixed on the crown, and part remains loose. It is important to create the effect of carelessly disheveled hair.
Curls are perfectly braided in braids. To form Greek braids, it is necessary to divide the entire volume of hair into several equal parts and fix it at the roots. Next, you need to braid light braids to give extra volume. Braids are wound around a hair elastic in the form of small bundles. The hairdress is decorated with jewelry and fixed with varnish.
Curly long hair can be gathered into a beautiful tail, entwined with a tight pigtail, braided from the total volume of the tail. Such a restrained version of execution is suitable for the office, and if you add decorations, you get styling for the evening version.
The cocktail version of the Greek hairstyle is a bun – shell. The hair is divided into a parting and is fixed in the tail. The curls in the tail should be divided into three equal parts and wrapped one by one around the elastic, forming a bundle in the form of a funnel.
If you decorate such a hairstyle with a rim or a diadem, you get a festive styling option.
