At all times, among the fair sex, a hairstyle such as a tail is considered one of the most convenient. However, it can be not only comfortable, but also beautiful, and truly diverse. Not all young ladies know which version of the tail will look best on their length and structure of the strands. In addition, few are familiar with the current trends in creating hairstyles based on the tail. To clarify all these nuances, check out the material presented in this article.
Kinds
Before moving on to more specific and complex varieties of the tail, you should familiarize yourself with what such a hairstyle can be. The characteristic of the simplest options is as follows.
- High tail - All strands are usually neatly collected at the top of the head or at the crown. This hairstyle requires a tight gum, combined with the natural color of the hair. Alternatively, you can hide the elastic under the lock.
Highly gathered hair in this way looks beautiful only on long curls, when their bulk falls from the base of a smoothly combed tail, giving an image of elegance.
- A more versatile option is a low tail. It is done at the base of the neck and can adorn ringlets of any length. In the case of long hair, you can use more elastic bands for a subtle effect, and short strands are sometimes combed with additional styling products, giving the image of rigor.
- For medium and long hair, the location of the tail in the middle of the nape is relevant. This option can be performed with fleece, casually issued locks or curled curls. In the classic look, these are just smoothly combed curls without parting.
- Often the tail goes in combination with a braid of two or three strands. This element is braided from the hairline in a straight or oblique direction, to the base of the tail.
The most relevant this hairstyle looks on girls with thick and long strands, the mass of which is enough for both a braid and a luxurious tail.
- To maintain the length of the hair, some young ladies resort to creating a hairstyle such as a double tail. Here, two tails are made on the back of the head - one below the other, at a not very large distance from each other. At the same time, the hair should be voluminous and voluminous, so that the locks of the upper tail pass into the lower as smoothly as possible.
Fashion trends
Modern young women leading an active lifestyle and not lagging behind fashion, it is worth getting acquainted with women's hairstyles, the popularity of which will be relevant for at least a whole year.
- A high tail on long straight hair is carried out at the crown, with one strand left to be wrapped around the base, masking the elastic and making the hair more neat. This option is also complemented by thin pigtails that weave from the hairline and go to the base.
- If your curls are not so long or you just don't like high hairstyles, pay attention to such a trend as a low tail with a straight part. The base also closes with a strand previously released from the total mass. It is allowed to diversify such a hairstyle with one side parted.
- Very stylish and modern looks styling with fleece. Strands with a comb need to be combed, paying particular attention to the top of the crown, and then collected in the tail at an average level.

- Long-haired beauties will like such a trendy hairstyle as highly curled hair. It is enough to just fix the locks on the crown, wrap the elastic band with the lock released in advance, and then create large curls.

- A slightly sloppy short tail does not leave the list of modern trends. It is most often done on the side and is sometimes combined with accessories such as invisibility. With the help of invisible, pinned crosswise, you can draw part of the hair, located on the side of the parting.
Fancy options
In addition to the usual patterns of hairstyles, there are unique ideas that can also be brought to life.
With fleece
The pomp at the top and temples is not only an adornment of the usual tail on the back of the head, but also an original technique that helps short young ladies to appear taller. To use it wisely, the tail with the raised crown must be done according to the following strategy:
- comb the front of the hair, creating a parting from temple to temple;
- collect the lower part of the hair in a tail in the middle of the occipital region;
- comb the top layer by layer, and carefully lay back, wrapping its end around the lower base;
- Be sure to sprinkle the result with varnish.
With weaving
Very romantic looks hairstyle based on weaving spikelet. It is performed as follows.
- In the temple area, start weaving a braid called a "fish tail" or "twisted spikelet", gradually weaving strands from the sides into it and directing the weaving towards the upper part of the nape.
- Lightly fluff the scythe from the side.
- Fix the entire mass of hair along with the part where the braid will continue on the back of the head. At the same time, wrap the braids for a braid with a small rubber band so that they do not mess with the rest.
- Next, you need to continue weaving the same spikelet, no longer weaving additional strands into it, but continuing to fluff to create a more voluminous result.
You can also make weaving based on a Dutch braid:
- divide the hair into two parts along the line of the upper sections of the temples;
- fix the upper area with a special clip-on hair clip;
- braid the Dutch braid, pulling its strands slightly to create a more magnificent hairdo in the upper part of the head;
- remove the clip and collect the lower portion of the weave along with the rest of the hair in a high tail;
- the result will be an excellent evening option for going to the club or on a date.
Wicker hairstyles include a beautiful braid made of ponytail using a simple pencil. It is performed as follows.
- Gather the strands at the back of the head and stick a pencil under the hair just above the base of the tail.
- Then throw the strands on both sides through a pencil, following the bottom-top direction.
- Divide each of these parts in two, and those strands that are closer to the center, combine into one, and begin to weave the braid. It should be created from the mass of hair in the tail like an ordinary spikelet and fixed with a discreet thin elastic.
- Carefully remove the pencil and fix the resulting volume at the top, using invisible or studs.
- The lower part of the braid must be hidden under the volume, and also secured with the help of pins.
A spikelet can be combined with a tail rather non-standardly, for example, if it is located in the area from the neck to the base of the tail on the crown. To make such a hairstyle, follow these steps:
- tilt your head forward and carefully comb the curls;
- start weaving the spikelet from the neck and upward (independently, such weaving can be quite difficult to do accurately, so find an assistant);
- in the crown, the lower weave should be combined with the rest of the hair.
A bump tail is an interesting hairstyle that you can do with your own hands on long hair using a special roller. After collecting the hair on the top, you need to put on the roller base. Gently distributing the strands along the roller, part of the hair needs to be separated from the center and fixed. Next, an elastic band is put on the roller, which should be hidden under the tips of the curls. The strand in the central part of the beam must be left loose, if desired, twisting it with the help of a curling iron.
With curls
If you want the curls in the tail to look atypical, then make a texture option. It is created in the lateral low tail. Before collecting the hair, you need to treat it with a corrugation nozzle and comb it slightly at the roots and in the temple area.
After making an oblique parting, fasten the hair below the ear, leaving the near-face lock slightly outward. The entire mass of hair in the tail should be curled with a curling iron so that the tips remain untwisted, and then combed, slightly beat with your fingers, and treated with a fixing agent.
Ponytail Hairstyles
Some hairstyles do not look like a tail, but at the same time are made on its basis, and do not present such difficulty in creating, although they look at first glance rather laborious. Basically, these options are relevant for medium or long hair, since they require the presence of a sufficient mass of strands. The following options are most relevant.
- Twisted tail - hairstyle created on the basis of low-collected hair. Here the back of the strands is going, while the side curls remain intact. They are twisted into spirals using a curling iron, and then symmetrically wrapped around the base, alternating with each other. Such a simple concept complements the original evening look.
- Long hair can also be fixed on the side, in the area below the ear, and close the elastic band with a previously left strand. Next, step back a few centimeters from the base, and drag the tail in this place with silicone rubber to match the color of your hair.Divide the strands of the resulting section between the elastic bands in two and pass through them the remaining tail, as if turning it inside out. Then repeat the same action a few more times - with the rest of the hairstyle.
- Based on the low tail, you can make an interesting hairstyle that will not allow the strands to break out during vigorous activity. Tighten the tail at the bottom of the nape with a tight elastic band and divide the mass of hair into three strands. The braid must be woven so that the middle strand alternately pokes between the holes created by the fingers in the side strands.
- Hairstyle "flashlights" suitable for young ladies with hair, the length of which is the same in all parts of the head. The upper part of the hair is collected on the back of the head and secured with an elastic band, then a few centimeters are indented, strands are collected on the sides, and again attached to the central one with an elastic band. In this case, the area between the compounds is slightly fluffy.
In this way, sections along the entire length of the hair are fastened. This hairstyle looks pretty impressive, and may be suitable for a theme event.
