Currently, there are several trends in hairstyles, but this does not mean that you can not do something else, completely unique and author. This will only emphasize your personality.

Hairstyle plays a huge role in the formation of the image. Even perfect makeup and a well-chosen suit will not look if you do not pay enough attention to your own hair. Imagine the main fashion trends that exist at the moment.

They have long and firmly entered the life of modern beauties. A huge plus is that they suit both blondes or brown-haired women, and brunettes. They add mystery to the owners of dark hair, and light curls look very romantic.

There are many ways to bring this hairstyle to life. We’ll talk in more detail about the creation technology below. Here I want to note that every girl must try to make this beauty.

If in the 90s of the last century elastic straight curls curled in a curling iron were in fashion, today the situation has changed. Loose curls are in trend. Looking at them, it seems that the hairstyle has already slightly opened. Much attention is paid to and basal volume. Without it, curls would not have looked so impressive.

Remember the Disney princesses: the artists of many of them were awarded with ideal curls. But no one would ever think that they sat for hours and winded them. Everything looks as if nature itself endowed them with such wealth. So modern beauties strive to achieve the same effect.

One of the main trends that has been in the top for many years. If previously pigtails were considered exclusively a schoolgirl’s hair, today women and girls can freely braid them in the office, and even with an evening outfit. The thing is how exactly you will realize the idea with braids.

There are many types of weaving, as well as hairstyles based on them. Using fixing means and invisibility, you can create a real masterpiece, or you can have a beautiful everyday hairstyle. Here are the main types of braids that are relevant in our time.

She looks very unusual. The thing is that with a special way of weaving, it is as if turned to us on the reverse side. Try to make an interwoven French braid yourself (or several). To do this, you just need to understand that the strands during weaving are stacked not from above, but from below.

Of particular chic to this type of braid is their volume. It is created artificially. In the process, it is necessary to pull the strands a little so that they do not lie tightly against each other, but create the appearance of a thick magnificent braid. There are a lot of variations of hairstyles with this type of weaving. You can braid one large or two smaller braids.

Another option would be weaving on one side only and forming a bump or basket from the hair on the back of the head.

Weaving method, familiar to everyone since childhood. Its main advantage is the stability of the hairstyle. You will have to spend a little more time on the weaving itself, but styling will last without problems all day. As for the variations, they are not less than the previous version.

Looks interesting option spikelet braided on one side. In this case, the braid can move from one side of the head to another. Or the other side can be left untwisted. Thin spikelets made from a small strand of hair can serve as a full decoration or accent for hairstyles. They will beautifully shape the bundle in a circle or be woven into a volume cone, creating a beautiful pattern of hair on the head.

We all remember the tightly drawn cones on the ballerinas' heads. But recent trends urge to abandon such perfect smoothness in hairstyles. Free options are in fashion. It's okay if some hairs get knocked out. This will give the image of naturalness and romance. Giving preference to this option, do not try to make the hairstyle licked. On the contrary, above all create volume from the roots, and only then make a bump.

The peculiarity of the cones is that Depending on the configuration and the selected accessories, you can adapt it for sports, and for an evening dress.

The described trends do not carry in themselves something radically new. These hairstyles have been known to everyone for a long time. But not many decide to bring them to life, even on a special occasion. This is largely due to the fact that girls simply do not know how to make an original hairstyle on their own. Below we give detailed schemes for creating a particular hairstyle. Take them safely into service, surprise others with new images every day.

In the morning, there is disastrously little time to build complex multi-stage hairstyles on the head. But you always want to look stylish and interesting. Let's see what can be done in a short time on our own hair.

Even if you just washed and dried your hair, this does not guarantee the appearance of a fantastic volume of them, which is promised to us by manufacturers of shampoos. In most cases, you have to create it artificially.

You can dry your hair in different ways. With one approach, you will get just strands hanging down that will not decorate you at all. In another case, the volume will appear on the head, and the strands will lie one to one. The easiest way to achieve this effect is to dry your hair upside down.

Lean down, take a hair dryer and begin to dry the entire mass of hair, moving from one edge to another. The direction of the air stream must be strictly from top to bottom. That is, you begin to dry hair from the roots, moving down. This approach provides a more gentle attitude to the hair.

When the hair is dry, straighten and fold the hair in the direction you need, form a parting.

Now you need to take care of the ends. If they are a little fluffy, take a brush and go with a hairdryer again to the desired areas. By wrapping the comb inward, you will achieve a slight rounding at the ends. So the hairstyle will look finished.

Irons and tongs with a wide corrugation nozzle are great for creating small waves. But not everything goes well in situations where you need to make volume from the roots.

Today you can find special corrugation tongs with a narrow plate. It will be only 2 or 3 waves. They are very convenient to use. One has only to separate the lock, squeeze between the plates for a few seconds and let go. You will get a good volume that will last a very long time. In this case, no creases and waves will be visible.

Masters very often choose this method. In the process of creating, you can independently adjust the resulting volume. In addition, no additional funds will be required here, except for a thin comb. To create a stable comb, comb the entire mass of hair. Separate the top and fasten it to the crown with a clamp. To get an impressive volume, it will be necessary to work out all the locks.

We will move from the bottom up. Separate a thin-wide lock, with one hand pull it perpendicular to the head. Now, with a thin comb, make jerky movements from the middle of the length to the roots. As a result of this manipulation, the hair at the roots will be slightly tangled and disheveled.

Moving up, stack the locks one on top of the other. Do not try to smooth or untangle them.

When all the hair is processed in a similar way (on both sides and behind), you will see that the hairstyle has become very fluffy and voluminous. To give her an aesthetic appearance, a hair brush with bristles will help (it is better if it is natural). Smooth the styling a little, paying particular attention to the hair along the parting.

In other cases, it is enough to give a straight look to the strands along the parting.

Yes, curlers are not only designed to create mischievous curls. If you take the option with a large diameter, then there will be no hint of curls, but a good amount is provided to you. The advantage of this method is that when you wake up, you can apply a little foam on your hair, wind it (it only takes a few minutes) and go about your business. Before leaving, you need to remove the curlers and go on the road.

Girls with naturally straight hair in different ways try to make beautiful curls. While the owners of cute curls, on the contrary, try to make them perfectly smooth and even. This problem exists and will always exist. However, there are many ways to solve such problems as the first and second.

Not all girls are ready every morning for a long time to stand by the mirror and twist curls. But this is not necessary at all. There are methods to achieve the desired result, spending a minimum of time and effort.

This method appeared relatively recently, but has already managed to win the hearts of fashionistas. With its help, very natural half-loose curls are obtained, which today are at the peak of popularity.

Apply styling agent (mousse, foam or lotion) to clean hair. Separate the lock and pinch it between the plates of the iron not far from the roots. Now you need to rotate the iron 180 degrees. Keep it parallel to the floor. In this position, lower the appliance to the end of the lock. With your hands, help the curl lie down correctly and fix with varnish.

This method is known to all. But it is worth noting that today curling irons have become much more convenient and safer for hair. Special coatings do not burn hair, and a variety of shapes and sizes of the device allows you to find your ideal option. If you have not yet decided on the choice, then we advise you to look at the cone curling iron. Its diameter decreases towards the end. This allows you to create curls of different sizes. One has only to wind a lock on one or another part of the curling iron itself. It makes no sense to describe in detail the process of wrapping strands in a curling iron, since this process is known to everyone.

Even the most ordinary styling can be transformed with accessories. The stores offer a wide selection of jewelry for our hair: headbands, dressings, hairpins, combs, invisible with rhinestones, elastic bands, scarves and much more.

Bright massive jewelry with stones, rhinestones and beads are suitable for evening publication.

The use of various accessories in the hairstyle is limited only by your imagination. But make sure they look appropriate. After all, even the most beautiful diadem will be absolutely superfluous if you are going to a business meeting. It is worth considering your own hair color. So, on dark ringlets black jewelry will be hardly noticeable.

Loose and styled hair is beautiful, but not always convenient. That is why many women and girls prefer to collect them in various ways. This allows you not to be distracted by the hairstyle during the day, correcting the strands constantly falling on the face.

One of the most favorite hairstyles. Many believe that making a beautiful tail is very simple - lick your hair back, put it together with an elastic band and you're done. Adhering to this approach, you only risk worsening your appearance. Beauties overlooking the red carpet with the usual "horse" or high tail, pay special attention to him.

We will also consider the main stages in creating an elegant tail.

1. Dry your hair, giving it volume. How to do this, we talked a little higher.
2. Comb the hair on the central part of the head back.
3. Moving from the forehead, separate one after another the lock and do a small pile.
4. On the sides, comb the hair towards the back of the head.
5. Take an elastic band (you can also use a crab) and form a tail. Make sure the volume remains. If necessary, straighten the upper strands with your hands or with a comb-needle.

This is the simplest version of the tail, but from this it does not cease to be interesting. Pigtails help diversify your hairstyle. They can be braided from the forehead towards the back of the head, or formed from them a kind of rim that frames the forehead and one side.

Hairstyle with two ponytails is considered childish. After all, everyone remembers those mischievous two tails of little girls who jump so merrily with active movements. If you want to add a little such playfulness to your image, then do just two tails.

Separate your hair with a straight parting. Ponytails will need to be formed quite low in the back of the head. It is important to ensure that the volume is maintained on both sides of the head. This option will be very comfortable to wear and will give the image the desired playfulness and spontaneity.

There are a lot of variations. Hairstyles with bobbed hair always look trendy and elegant. After reviewing the detailed instructions for creating them, presented below, you will understand that there is nothing complicated here.

Comb your hair and divide into three equal parts. On the central part, make a small pile and fasten on the back of the head with a thin rubber band.From the resulting tail, braid the pigtail and put on another thin elastic band. The hair remaining on the sides is also braided into braids, but already without gum at the base. Pigtails should start at the free length of the hair. Although, if desired, weaving can be done along the temples.

We twist the central braid with a shell at the base and fix it with invisibility. Take the braid on one side and wrap it around this shell. We do the same manipulation with another scythe.

Then on the central part you do not need to make a braid, but braid this accessory. It is worn over the elastic, and the hair from the tail is distributed in a circle and is fixed with another small elastic band on top. In the absence of accessories, such a hairstyle will look modest and elegant, but it’s worth adding a bright hairpin or comb and it will instantly turn into an evening version.

We comb the hair a little on the central part of the head, form the tail. It should not be too low. Finger divide hair into two parts. This must be done above the rubber band to form a hole. We grab our tail and drag it inside the resulting hole. We pull down and weave a braid of spikelet from the tail. To give the hairstyle dynamism and volume, slightly weaken the locks in the braid, pulling them on yourself.

The final part of the beam formation is coming. Raise the braid up, fill the end to the same place where the tail itself was threaded. We fix with invisible. Once again, we fix the locks in the braid, to lie beautifully and evenly, but not very tight.

This hairstyle belongs to retrostyle, but does not lose its relevance. Make it very simple. Having previously added volume to the hair, it will be necessary to slightly wind it. Use a curling iron or ironer for this.

Next, make a tail on the back of the head. When you thread it the last time through an elastic band, leave the tip tucked into it. That is, you just do not have to pull the tail to the end. The ends of the hair should be on top. Then we take them, take them a little to the side, twist one or two turns around ourselves (as in the formation of a tourniquet) and lay them around the gum. We hide the tip under the base of the tail and fix it with an elastic band. We straighten our shell out of hair, fix it with varnish.

Hair styling options with the help of braids are countless. But it makes no sense to list them all. Knowing the basic models, you can make your own unique author's version or give preference to the classics.

The variations are as follows.

• Tartlet. To complete the hairstyle, it will be necessary to wind the hair a little in order to get air locks. Further, moving from the forehead, we begin to weave braids in one and the other direction. On the back of the head, connect both braids (one on one). We hide the tips under another pigtail, fasten with pins or invisible.

• Wreath. In this case, starting to weave a braid should be from one of the temples. Spread the hair so that it falls all over the circumference of the head from one central point. Now you can weave the braid, moving around the circumference. Hide the end of the braid at the base of the braid and secure with an invisible one. Such a braid is both an independent hairdo and decoration. For the festive version, you can weave beautiful ribbons or other accessories into it. Give preference to back weaving. This will create the illusion that the braid lies on top of the head.

• Waterfall. Very feminine and gentle hairstyle. In order for the locks to lie properly, pre-treat the hair with foam or mousse. Then you need to create small curls.You can not wind all the hair, and process only the ends. Separate your hair parted on one side. Start weaving a braid from the forehead (the beginning of that part of the head where most of the hair is). When you get to the temple, start releasing one of the three locks down. Instead, it will be necessary to pick up another strand that has not yet been woven into a braid. Having reached another temple, fasten the end of the braid with an elastic band.

One of the options for weaving are tows. With them you can repeat all the same hairstyles as with braids. They differ in the way of laying strands. The tourniquet in appearance resembles a rope, not a classic braid. The simplest way is to simply twist 2 strands together, moving in the right direction.

But having a little practice even an inexperienced fashionista will be able to surprise everyone with a beautiful hairstyle with unusual plaits.

If you want to show the beauty of your hair, then you should choose options for hairstyles with loose hair. They are not as few as it might seem. About how to create an actual hairstyle called "curls", we have already discussed above, so let's talk about other popular options.

It is only necessary to shift the usual parting in one or the other direction, as it turns out another image. This should be done at the stage of drying the hair so that it lies in the right direction. And also it is possible to refuse parting at all. A great example of a hairstyle without parting is a hairstyle in retro style with a rim or bandage.

1. Comb the hair and wind it a little on the curling iron or ironing.
2. Comb your hair back. Starting from the forehead, separate the strand after the strand, do a pile.
3. When you reach the back of the head, throw all your hair back. To make your hair tidy, go over it with a hair brush.
4. Sprinkle with varnish. Put the bezel so that all the hair is under it. Do not place it close to the growth line. Let some of the hair around the forehead be visible.
5. If necessary, adjust the strands behind the bandage.

In addition, you can easily comb the entire mass of hair in one or the other direction.

Besides, You can combine it with weaving. In this case, the braid is braided on the side where the smaller part of the hair remains, and goes to the back of the head. There you can hide it under free locks and secure it with invisibility.

There seems to be nothing easier than making simple straight strands. Indeed, in most cases, for this it is enough to dry the hair with a hairdryer. In fact, it turns out that the strands dangling gloomily and do not decorate their owner at all.

To make your hair look like in an advertisement for shampoo or on the cover of a glossy magazine, you will have to make an effort.

1. Wash your hair and rinse with balm (you can also make a mask). Apply a heat-protective spray to the strands and start blow drying. To do this, arm yourself with brashanka and pull out each lock. And do not pull them down - the lock should be directed perpendicular to the head.
2. If the desired smoothness and evenness could not be achieved, additionally walk on them with an iron.
3. To enhance the shine and structure the strands will help specialized tools. If you often do just such a styling, then you should think about purchasing them.

Above we have given many options for women's hairstyles for medium length hair. Many of them can be easily transformed into evening ones by simply adding jewelry in the form of hairpins with stones, scallops with rhinestones and tiaras. For example, look how festive a regular volume cone with additional decoration looks.

As for the chic curls, they look great in any context. If at work there is no strict dress code, then with such a hairstyle you can come to work, and go to a gala event in the evening.

The same rule applies to straight flowing hair. Remember how many times you saw beauties on the red carpet with this simple and at the same time luxurious hairstyle. In this case, the hairstyle is fully adjusted to the outfit of its owner.
