Kinds
A huge variety of types of beams does not always allow girls to quickly and easily choose the ideal option for themselves. Therefore, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the most popular varieties of hairstyles in advance.
Classical
An elegant bundle involves smoothly combed hair, the bulk of which is climbed into a tourniquet at the crown or neck. You can also make a low beam of this type. No accessories or weaving should be added to it, since the concept provides for the maximum severity and conciseness of its appearance.
Usually this option is used in an office style, where ladies follow a certain dress code, and it is also popular among girls involved in sports or dancing. This is due to the convenience that this hairstyle provides.
Careless
A similar version of the beam can be whipped up, since it does not require a perfectly smooth head and a complete absence of knocking strands. Hair is not tightened and fixed on the crown. A slightly twisted tourniquet is wrapped around the base and fixed. Often, hair is collected in a braid without first being fixed to the crown. Such a hairstyle allows a small proportion of hairs knocking out of the total mass, but at the same time it should not look messy.
Volume
Such a magnificent option involves the preliminary preparation of hair - the creation of curls. Twisted strands must be collected in the tail, without pulling them to the end through the elastic. Then the hair is wrapped around the base and fixed. This technique will help in creating additional volume.
French
A simple and elegant French beam is based on a completely different technology. It is created on the basis of a low, not very tightly tied tail, whose curls are wrapped around special fixing sticks, while all of their mass is collected in the center of the nape, forming a beautiful semblance of a shell.
With braids
A win-win option for thick hair of medium length is to create a transition of one or more braids into a bun. You can start weaving a French braid from the temple or from the front of the head. Then, at the crown or just below the strands, the braids are collected and fixed in the tail along with the rest of the hair and are wrapped around the base.
Another way to add braids to a similar hairstyle is to create a tail, from the strands of which one or more braids are braided. These pigtails also wrap around the base, giving the beam a certain relief and original shape.
At the same time, the chances of naughty strands being knocked out of the crowd are reduced.
With bagel
If you like the style with a bias in retro, then a fluffy bun made with the help of a donut - an accessory designed to give extra volume to collected hair, is ideal.A donut is put on curls neatly collected in a high tail. Then the strands are evenly distributed over the bagel and fixed under its base, forming a large bundle that attracts glances. Sometimes this option is combined with a straight bang and a bright hair band.
With fleece
Another retrovariant is the hair collected in a tourniquet at the back of the head, with additional volume at the crown. This volume is done using a pile, which can be performed in the usual way or using a special lining. Usually in a similar hairstyle there are also various bright accessories.
Greek
A similar bunch is created on the basis of a French braid using a very simple technology. The lower part of the braid simply rises to the back of the head, an invisible bundle is formed from it and fixed with studs and invisibles. Another version of the bundle with a reference to Greek themes will be a harness made of two thinner harnesses twisted together.
On medium hair, the hairstyle looks harmonious, and due to this twisting, the mass of hair visually increases.
Air
This type of beam is ideal for a wedding. It involves the interweaving of braids of various thicknesses. Pigtails are braided on the back of the head, crown and at the base of the hairline. The bulk, pre-wound into curls, is collected on the crown, and then braids are located around it. The design of such a hairstyle is negotiated with the hairdresser in advance, since it includes a huge number of options.
How to choose?
In order for the beam to look as harmonious and effective as possible on medium-length strands, a number of criteria should be taken into account that will help you choose the specific variety that suits you the most. For the choice to be successful, it is necessary to take into account such basic factors as the thickness of the curls, age and type of face.
By hair type
Each lady has curls with an individual texture that affects the appearance of the hairstyle. Even if the hair is bundled, this relationship is noticeable. For each type of hair there is a special version of the bundle that can hide imperfections and emphasize the advantages of hair.
- Straight thick hair Perfect for classic and French. Obedient strands will perfectly maintain their shape, which is an important element of these hairstyles concepts.
- Lush waves most naturally will look in a careless beam or volumetric version. They can also be divided horizontally from temple to temple into two parts: the upper one should be bundled at the back of the head, and the lower one should be left loose.
- For ladies with thin or split hair a bundle created using a donut will do. You will have the opportunity to hide the hard ends under the accessory, leaving less damaged areas open. A bagel, matched to the color of hair, will hide the lack of its total mass.
By face type
Since such a hairstyle in most cases leaves the cheekbones line and the face itself open, its choice requires taking into account such characteristics as the oval of the face. Best of all, a high hairstyle suits ladies with an oval-shaped face. It is better for owners of a triangular shape to hide sharp corners with the help of a bang.
For chubby young ladies or girls with a square face shape, it is better to refrain from creating a beam or use accessories to make it look most harmonious. This can be achieved by selecting suitable earrings that balance the heavy areas of the face.
According to the age
The age criterion also plays an important role, since the hairstyle should ideally complement the image of a young girl or adult lady, and also look appropriate. Therefore, for each age category there correspond their own varieties of beams.
- Young lady Hairstyles are perfect, in which the bundle is made only from the upper part of the hair, and the lower one remains loose.A sloppy bunch that matches perfectly with casual style is also relevant.
- Older Girls A delicate and elegant French bunny shell will do. No less stylish and at the same time the bundle made on the side at the bottom of the head looks original. The volumetric version of the beam will become very appropriate for an informal image.
- Respectable ladies a classic bunch and a French shell that will open the line of the face and will be in harmony with any outfit will appeal to you.
Despite the approximate recommendations for each age range, women with medium hair length can choose other hairstyle options with the hair pulled into a braid.
In addition to age, other preferences will be individual preferences and fashion.
