Low beam: types, creation and decoration

Sometimes a simple, at first glance, hairstyle can change so much that it can be safely attributed to the masterpieces of hairdressing. This article will focus on low beam. In the skilled hands of the master, the hair collected on the back of the head takes on unusual shapes and is complemented by a wide variety of jewelry. This universal hairstyle has many varieties suitable for a particular style. We will find out what options for low beams exist, and how to make them yourself.

With this method of styling, the hair is collected on the back of the head, while curls that beautifully frame the face can remain in front. Many people think that the beam has only one kind - the “hoot”. In fact, this is not so, with the help of a traditional, airy, elegant or careless version of the beam, the girls look stylish in different images.

This hairstyle is rightfully considered one of the most ancient, because it was popular in ancient times. In ancient Greece, women gathered hair at the back of the head, which made their face more open and made it possible to demonstrate an elegant neck. You can see a similar hairstyle on the statues of the Hera and Aphrodite revered by the Greeks.

From the days of Rococo, instructions for ladies have come down to us on how to make a knot of hair decorated with a velvet bag, and in the era of classicism, hairstyles with hair rollers and curls released on the face were popular. In the Land of the Rising Sun, bunches were worn by both women and men, and ladies often made two such ghouls on their sides.

As for our days, the fashion for an understated bundle returned in the 50s of the XX century. So the French celebrities began to collect hair, after which they began to imitate all the other ladies: from housewives to business women. Now the bun has become one of the most popular hairstyles, because we collect hair in this way when we do household chores, and when we go to work at the office, and sometimes do it for special occasions - it’s enough to complicate the classic version and decorate it with spectacular accessories.

The low appearance of these hairstyles is considered more universal than high. The latter may be inappropriate on the head of very tall girls, as it adds growth. And creative “careless” high beams are not very suitable for little ladies. And also with them you need to be careful for women with an imperfect neck. A completely different thing is the low variety of the beam. Each representative of the fair sex can find his among the variety of models, which will emphasize its advantages and distract attention from shortcomings.

Paradoxically, a bundle on the back of the head is contraindicated only for women aged.

Let us consider step by step the various schemes for creating a beam. Among them there are both more complex and lighter models.

To make a bun on short hair is a little more difficult, so you will need more hairdressing accessories. These are elastic, short hairpins and invisibility, “bagel” elastic and volume rubber from foam material.

Before you take on this hairstyle, you need to make sure that the length of your hair reaches at least the middle of the neck. They need to be assembled on the back of the head, so that a tail of at least a palm length is obtained. Otherwise, even various accessories for hairstyles will not help you. For a larger volume, pre-wash your hair and dry it. If necessary, apply a little firming foam before you blow dry your hair.

Step-by-step instruction:

• make a ponytail in the back of the head;
• stick it in the "bagel";
• divide the hair in half and wrap them in a “bagel”;
• put on a tight elastic band over the resulting bundle and straighten the hair so that it does not look out;
• grab the hair with hairpins so that it does not crumble.

Medium hair means shoulder length. To create a simple hairstyle out of them, proceed as follows:

• take the top of the hair and divide in half by parting;
• wind all the strands inward so that the curls are the same on both sides;
• collect hair with an elastic band, and then push the hair through it again without pulling it to the end;
• Lay out the resulting bundle beautifully and pin it with hairpins.

We bring to your attention another popular version of this hairstyle. It is suitable for special occasions.

• Divide the hair into three parts.
• Curls on the temples pin with hairpins on the sides, so as not to interfere.
• From the occipital hair, collect the ponytail, direct it from the bottom up and fix it with invisibility.
• Bend the ends of the resulting volumetric tail inward and pin it with studs. With the help of side curls, finish the design by curling out and attaching hairstyles to the base.

With sufficient length, even such a simple option will look voluminous and interesting.

There are only two stages of its creation:

• make a low tail and tie it with an elastic band;
• wrap the elastic around the hair so that they are all involved, and pop the stiletto heels.

You can not use an elastic band. To do this, take all the hair, twist it with a tourniquet and, twisting clockwise, make a “bump”. You can pin it up with hairpins, and hairpins, and with an ordinary pencil.

Let's consider what other unusual bunches can be made of hair, and how to make them correctly.

You can diversify the well-known hairstyle with the help of ordinary or French braids, spikelets. Weave bundles look good in combination with rims or fabric dressings. These accessories add even more charm to the face.

• Make a regular tail. Divide it into two unequal parts.
• From the larger part, make a classic bunch, and from the small one - braid the braid.
• Wrap a pigtail around the resulting "ghoul" and fix the tip.

Today, brides are increasingly choosing laconic images, and gloves, fur coats and puffy dresses are a thing of the past. The same thing happens with wedding hairstyles. Instead of a bunch of letters, girls choose simple, smooth bunches, decorating them to their liking. We will consider a sophisticated version of the wedding bunch with fleece “Korimbos”:

• Make a tail and fasten with a thin rubber band.
• Take the hair above the elastic and separate a little to get a hole.
• Thread the tail into it.
• Comb the remaining curls and thread again, without making too tight a “knot”.
• Spread your hair a little to give more airiness, and decorate with beautiful hairpins, for example, in the form of flowers.

Very beautiful hairstyle, which can also be do it yourself:

• divide the hair into two parts with a horizontal parting;
• make a tail from the bottom;
• from the upper curls, separate a thin lock and braid them in a pigtail, and wrap the rest around the bundle and stab it;
• weave all over your head to make a bezel, and attach it with an invisible hairpin.

To make a beautiful and stylish bunch, there are special hairdressing devices. They not only hold the curls in the right direction, but also help to add more volume:
