Most girls regularly face a dilemma regarding their own hair: spend a lot of time and energy on an unusual hairstyle to look fresh and in a new way, or whip up a simple and unpretentious hairstyle that others see, at best, once a week. The vast majority of the fair sex always wants to look impressive, but sometimes there’s simply not enough time for that - these are the realities of modern life.
However, the inventors are actively working on a solution to this problem, so a special tool like a hair loop appeared.
What?
The hair loop has many names - this device is called a styler or topsy tail. Visually it is a pointed stick made of plastic, at the end of which an elastic loop is threaded. Typically, a styler is available in one of two overall dimensions: 19 cm or 14 cm in length, therefore can be used on strands of different thicknesses.
If you didn’t have to use such a device before, then you should take both for a test in order to understand which one is better. At the same time, more complex designs come across, for example, with two loops. But such a variation will be interesting to those who have passed the first level and are ready for further experiments.
The hair loop is made specifically to simplify the creation of hairstyles based on an inverted tail. You can experiment with such solutions with any length of hair, unless it is shorter than the shoulders.Of course, you can make a similar styling without any styler, but in a hurry and without help, the result may not look too neat, because sometimes the hair does not listen at all. Thus, such a device allows you to save time on creating an unusual and rather complex hairstyle, and also helps to replace the "girlfriend", which is so necessary for complex weaving.
In operation, the device is considered very simple - even children can use it without outside help.
You can purchase a similar tool in any department of hair care products, not to mention specialized stores. In addition, the widest assortment is available on the Internet with delivery in any convenient way.
Advantages and disadvantages
The high popularity of the styler is due to the fact that This device has solid advantages.
- Compact size - the thing is always with you. This is not a hairdryer or a curling iron - you can put a loop even in a large wallet and always carry it with you. This allows the office to have a proper strict hairstyle, but when leaving work for a walk in the blink of an eye it will be transformed.
In addition, when going on a trip, it is enough to take a styler and several elastic bands to come up with a new hair solution daily and not look the same in all photos.
- Ease. Topsy tail was invented specifically for the case when a person does not have time to learn new complex tricks. This device does not offer a unique result after mastering the instructions - on the contrary, it greatly simplifies the creation of hairstyles, which without a styler would have to be disassembled step by step.
- Universality. A special tool for creating hairstyles with the tail turned out can scare some girls off as not universal enough, because all the styling, at first glance, seem the same. In fact, the presence of imagination in the young lady and such a cunning hairpin will help each time appear in a new image.
- Time saving. The construction of an unusual hairstyle with the help of a styler does not always take a lot of time, even if it seems that a lot of work has been done on curls. Sometimes you can leisurely make an original styling in just 5 minutes, which people just didn’t get used to, but calm gatherings without rushing in the morning are priceless.
- Universal accessibility. Hinges for hair - not a novelty or a wonder, you can buy them in any store with hair products. In terms of price, such a device is available for every young lady, so you can not put off buying it.
The styler actually has no significant drawbacks. The only thing that can be said is that it is not a panacea, because apart from variations of the twisted tail, it can offer nothing. However, as already mentioned, women's imagination is able to squeeze the maximum out of limited opportunities, and the low cost allows you to buy such a hairpin without a twinge of conscience, even if, in addition to several options, it is no longer possible to come up with.
Interesting hairstyles
The number of various hairstyles that you can try to create using a styler can be a huge variety. It is extremely difficult to consider all of them. Below are some steps that will help you to do your own hairstyle. without help.
Heart
This is a fairly popular solution for hair with an average length. Well-combed hair is picked up in a high tail, after which a styler is vertically passed over the elastic, leaving a loop from the bottom. Then you need to separate the lock from the middle-sized tail and pass it through the loop, and then pull it through the top. The extracted strand should be halved and two thin pigtails should be framed. It remains to twist them in the shape of a heart, and tie the ends from below, hiding under the tail and hairpins with small Chinese hairpins - the openwork heart is ready.
Such a decision usually looks great on young romantic girls.
Collected hair
If you use a styler, you can simply collect long hair in an unconventional way, without any braids and tails. The instruction begins with the fact that a free tail is usually formed along the line of the ears from the outside of the curls, bandaging it with an elastic band. The loop is threaded from the bottom up, and the assembled tail is passed through it, after which the tool is removed through the upper part. Then the remaining hair below the ears is also collected in a tail, now low, and the whole procedure is repeated again.
Part of the hair will still remain free - they must be lifted and wrapped, securing closer to the crown with hairpins. The resulting design usually requires additional decorations - large hairpins or flowers. If everything is done correctly, then you get another styling option for a very tender young person.
Hairstyle a la Grace Kelly
The styler is designed to create not only gentle and romantic images, but also for more rigorous hairstyle options. If such a solution is needed, then you get the image of the famous Hollywood actress, after whom it is customary to call such a styling.
It all starts with careful combing - the hair must either be combed back or parted. Behind them, you need to collect them in a low tail, after which a styler is introduced above the elastic band - not from bottom to top, as in the two previous solutions, but from top to bottom. The collected hair is pulled through the loop, but not completely, while the tool should be pulled slightly down, forming a rounding of the tail.
Those hairs that have not yet participated in the creation of hairstyles rise and hide inside the described rounding.
Inversion on loose hair
Hair does not have to be tightly collected from the back - the styler allows you to come up with an original hairstyle even on those curls that are loose rather than collected. If there is no good reason to hide your hair, but you want to do something unusual and worth it in literally 3 minutes, you can try another very simple solution.
A side parting is done on combed hair, after which some part of the upper layer of hair (at least from the back, at least from the side) is collected in a small free tail. Then, standard procedures with a loop are done - it is inserted into the hair above the elastic, after which an eversion is performed. The originality of this styling is that nobody collects the rest of the hair into anything and doesn’t poke it anywhere - they still remain loose, but decorated with an inverted tail.
Unusual weave
In this form, the hair will not interfere, regardless of occupation. First, part of the hair is separated according to the same principle as is done to form the popular Malvinka styling. As close to the neck as possible, they are tied with an elastic band, after which a styler needle is inserted from above. Then it is necessary to select a small strand from loose hair on one side and stretch it through the loop of the tool, pull it slightly down and repeat the procedure with a similar strand taken from the opposite side. The amount of strands used depends solely on the wishes - usually 2-4 pieces are used on each side.
The result should be half a braid, and half a tail, as in the photo.
Option side
The options described above practically have no alternative to collect hair from the back, but in fact, you can use the eyelet on the side, and the result will be, at least, no worse. For so many romantic natures, such a hairstyle will become a real find.
Since hair operations will occur on one side of the head, then all (or almost all) of the hair is combed on one side. A small part of the hair is collected with an elastic band, after which a styler needle is threaded into the tail and the strand is turned out.After that, another strand is selected a little lower and all the above procedures are repeated with it. Such inverted tails are made as many as required.
The ends and remaining hair are fixed in any convenient way - they can be collected in a side tail or stabbed.
Inverted ponytail
This is one of the simplest hairstyles that can be done with topsy tail in just a few minutes. Such styling may not seem extremely original, but it still looks noticeably more complicated than the same option, only without inversion. Such a solution will be sufficiently practical for the office or school.
Hair pulled back must be collected in a loose and wide ponytail, after which the styler is threaded over the elastic band from top to bottom. After that, the entire volume of the collected curls is passed through the loop, and it is neatly stretched from below.
In the example in the photo, we limited ourselves to this, but in practice it would be better to further decorate the hair collection area with something - just use a large and beautiful hairpin.
Beautiful examples
Simple solutions are described above that may interest beginner owners of the styler or are just suitable for quick everyday styling.
In practice, only imagination limits the owner of the hair in creating a unique hairstyle, and if there is time left, then you can create a real masterpiece.
The first photo shows that the "multi-storey" construction of twisted tails can turn out to be really beautiful without creating the impression of unnecessary piling up. Oddly enough, it begs an easy comparison with curls, which have always been a sign of a real lady.
With the curls themselves, the styler does not quarrel, if you twist the remaining free part of the tail a little, it can turn out very interesting. As you can see, the tool is suitable for all types of hair and can be considered universal.
The last photo, or rather, the dress on the girl shows that hairstyles based on the styler, despite their utmost ease of implementation, can be a great addition to an interesting image.
