Long hair bun

At all times, beautiful and healthy hair was considered a traditional attribute of female beauty. Despite the wide variety of different haircuts, today long curls remain the most desirable for most girls. However, owners of luxurious hair are often faced with many problems, for example, which hairstyle to choose. This question is relevant not only before a major celebration, but also on weekdays. A variety of bunches will come to the aid of the happy owners of endless strands.

A bundle is a knot made of the entire mass of hair or individual strands collected on the back of the head. They stab such strands with simple hairpins or invisible. Such a hairstyle has many advantages.

• Convenience. A lush mop of hair always strives to get into the face, go wild in the wind, or catch on something. Collected in one node, the curls lie in the right condition until the evening and less dirty. In addition, a bun is an excellent choice for those who overslept and simply did not have time to wash their hair or style it in a more complicated way.
• Accuracy. Such a hairstyle always looks strictly and elegantly, regardless of which type of styling was chosen. This is a great choice for going to the office or school.
• Femininity. Unlike short haircuts, the bun looks much softer and more feminine. Although in recent years, many long-haired men do not consider it shameful to wear small bundles on their heads.
• Ease. Such styling does not require special skills and especially assistants. It is easy to do it yourself, with a minimum of tools in hand.
• Saving. Unlike hair straightening or blow-drying, a simple knot does not injure or dry the hair.

It would seem that the bun is just the perfect hairstyle for all girls, girls and women. However, it also has its drawbacks.

• The need for experience. Not every craftswoman will be able to make a beautiful smooth knot the first time. In order not to experience stress in the morning attempts to beautifully stab your hair and at the same time not to be late for the subway, it is better to practice this in advance.
• For hair of the same length. A beautiful bundle, of course, will not work for those who prefer short haircuts, as well as for those whose haircuts are made using the cascade technique. Even if the length of the hair allows you to curl them with a beautiful snail, shorter strands will knock out and fluff, and the whole structure will turn out not to be too reliable. Of course, in this case as well, you can get the hang of twisting the beams, however, this will require much more effort.
• Not suitable for ladies aged. No matter how strange it may be, but the bundles look good only on young girls and young women. Even the most chic and well-groomed lady aged 40-45, such a styling will immediately add a dozen years and turn her into a real grandmother.

Despite the general technique of execution, there are many types of this hairstyle. This variety allows you to choose the perfect option not only for every day, but also for celebrations such as the New Year, birthday and even a wedding. Each of the species has its own characteristics.

Such a bundle is also called strict or smooth. It is a great option for daily wear and is done with just one comb and hairpins. All hair is combed back, raised to the crown or lowered to the neck. The harness of them is laid in a tight bump. A high classic beam looks more strictly and even solemnly. It is often done by ballerinas and little girls. The lower beam looks more free and relaxed, while maintaining overall accuracy.

Despite its name, this method of styling hair in a bun is very thought out and has its own algorithm. It is done on the same principle as the classic one. Only the curls are not stretched so much, so the beam remains lush and airy. Small, knock-out locks look great. They can be formed independently, or you can just tear your hair a little before styling.

Such hairstyles are often done to brides and graduates. To make the hair appear thicker, they are treated with a special texturing paste or full length “corrugation” is made. In the case when its volume is not enough, various linings in the form of a sponge or false locks and hairpieces are used.

Another classic hairstyle for the celebration is a French bun or, as it is also called, a shell. He beautifully draws the line of the neck, makes a woman more refined and graceful. The styling was named for its external resemblance to a mollusk shell. The curls laid on one side perfectly harmonize with any accessories and clothes. Simpler options are suitable for the office, and sophisticated evening styling for a wedding or anniversary. The only disadvantage of such a beam is its complexity.

Woven bundles are a great alternative to classic options. This can be one scythe wrapped around a knot, or several spikelets leading to it. In any case, such an element will enliven a smooth knot and at the same time make it more stylish and not so strict.The main thing at the same time is to adhere to one rule: the larger the woman’s age, the less braids should be in such a hairstyle.

Unlike other options, when creating such a bundle, not the entire mass of hair is used, but they are divided into separate strands, which are folded into tight or lush bundles. Each such tourniquet is fixed separately, alternately wrapping around the gum, or fixed with invisible in the right place. It is not possible to style hair quickly in this way. Often, professional hairdressers are turned to create such magnificent and air bunches.

Not out of fashion since ancient Greece, many types of beams allow you to choose the perfect option for almost everyone. For example, owners of a graceful "swan" neck can sort out any options that they like. But for ladies whose neck length leaves much to be desired, only bundles high on the back of the head are suitable. The higher the girl, the lower and more voluminous her knot of hair should be. On the contrary, on the heads of miniature low ladies, high smooth bunches look best. However, most often, a hairstyle is selected depending on the type of hair or face shape.

Owners of straight hair should pay attention to the French bun and classic options. Ladies can not worry because of the “roosters” and an excessive amount of varnish, since straight strands can only be combed with a regular brush to even out the entire mass of hair. If desired, you can apply gel or paste for styling on them to make them visually thicker and more voluminous. For those who wear soft curly curls on their heads, options from harnesses or with braids are perfect. Deliberately careless tufts look stylish and thoughtful precisely on wavy hair.

Those who are lucky enough to be born with elastic mischievous curls will have to try to make the bundle look neat. Elastic curls are easy to damage with excessive tension. That is why it is better to stay on the softest and lowest nodes, leaving the front strands freely hanging. The bun itself, made on curly hair, does not need an artificial increase, it will always be quite voluminous.

Most often, any styling is selected taking into account the proportions of the face. The right hairstyle can both emphasize the shortcomings given by nature and disguise them.

• Triangle. The best choice for the owner of a triangular face is a smooth high bun and a thick bang that covers too wide a forehead.
• Rhombus. In this case, it is better to leave the forehead open, and add the volume on the top of the head with a pile or a special foam roller. Wide cheekbones perfectly hide a couple of strands on the sides, curled in a large curling iron or curlers.
• Square. Oblique bangs of a pigtail can soften the angular proportions of a square face, and the bundle is best done not in the center, but in the side.
• A circle. Chubby young ladies are perfect for low openwork bunches and freely falling strands on the sides, as if accidentally left unassembled.
• Oval. Happy owners of the correct oval can make absolutely any bunches that they like. However, the simplest smooth beam without excessive pretentiousness and additional decorations emphasizes the merits of such a face most of all.

To make a neat and even knot of hair, you will have to first practice. In this case, it is enough to learn how to make only a classic bunch, as the other options themselves will come out of the hands of a beginner.This is due to the fact that the execution technique of any node is based on the same principles. A step-by-step instruction for the usual smooth option is as follows.

• Wash and dry hair well.
• Prepare the necessary tools: a comb, an elastic band and several metal hairpins.
• Comb your hair thoroughly over its entire length. If necessary, pull them out with an iron or apply styling gel.
• Gather the whole pile in the tail with a tight elastic band, having previously selected a point on the head that will be the center of the future beam.
• Twist the free end of the resulting tail into a bundle. It should not be too tight so as not to injure the hair structure, but individual hairs should not stick out of it.
• Screw the resulting tourniquet in a spiral around the elastic and hide the tip under it.
• Insert 4-8 hairpins on the sides to secure the result. You can use invisible colors matching the hair.
• Spray a flat comb with small teeth with styling varnish and several times walk it over the laid hair in the forehead, neck and temples.

Those who are not lucky with the thickness of their hair or the ability to style them will come to the rescue of various accessories that can easily be bought in a store or ordered via the Internet. All of them can be conditionally divided into three large categories. The first are items for adding extra volume. These include various bagels and foam sponges that fit under the hair. In addition, this category includes various overhead strands and even whole artificial bunches.

The second category is those items that facilitate the process of creating hairstyles. For example, various clips and flexible tapes in which it is possible to fill the ends of ringlets. After the hair is tied, they are wound around this hairpin and curled into a neat knot with it.

The third category is various decorative elements. There is an unimaginable number of different decorative hairpins, combs, ribbons and chains that not only hold your hair, but also serve as an additional decoration. Contrasting colors, unusual stones and rhinestones, the brilliance of metal and the softness of silk - all this emphasizes the beauty of not only the beam, but the whole image of a woman. Separately, it is worth mentioning small hats or veils that are used during large events and celebrations. They can be supplemented with natural materials in the form of wood, stones and even bird feathers. The main thing is that such a veil is combined with the dress of the hero of the occasion.

Smooth beams can be made huge if you use a special bagel to create them. Such styling looks great in contrast with everyday clothes, giving the image a zest. If you want to make such a hairstyle a little less strict, you can wrap a braid around the bundle or tie a small scarf or ribbon.

A low fluffy bunch instantly turns an ordinary woman into a real Greek goddess. Such hairstyles look especially good with summer open sundresses and a minimum of makeup. More elegant options with lots of jewelry or fresh flowers will be a great find for a prom or an important date.

An unusual bunch with a scythe, which is located "upside down" - a great option for study or office. Ahead, she looks strictly and neatly, and an unusual element is hidden on the back of her head.

Such a careless bunch is not the best choice for a school or university. But on weekends you can not only do household chores with him, but also meet with friends to go to a cafe or a movie. This look will look especially good with a large stylish sweater or knit dress.
