Hairstyle snail: what is it, who goes and how to do it?

Beautiful and well-groomed hair is the decoration of every lady. However, sometimes simple styling is not enough, so often for special holiday occasions it’s worth doing a beautiful and neat hairstyle. So, an excellent option would be a snail hairstyle, which is widespread and is loved by the fair sex with luxurious curls.

A laconic and aristocratic snail hairstyle came to us from an atmospheric country - France. There, girls and women began to use this method of braiding hair 100 years ago. However, the French young ladies were not the first to invent the snail. Many millennia ago, the ancient Greek ladies wore an analogue of modern hairstyles.

To date, there is no universal and only acceptable way to create a snail - Modern fashionistas, as well as hairdressers, have invented a large number of variations and varieties of classic hairstyles. One thing remains unchanged: no matter which version of the snail you choose, such a hairstyle will always look feminine and advantageous.

Before proceeding to the direct creation of hairstyles, it is necessary to prepare the necessary tools. So, you will come in handy:

• massage type comb;
• comb comb;
• hairpins;
• invisible hair clips;
• clamps;
• a cosmetic product for styling hair (it can be foam, mousse, gel, varnish, etc.);
• accessories (jewelry should be chosen depending on your overall image and the occasion in which you make a festive hairstyle).

In addition to preparing tools, you need to pay attention to the hair itself. The head needs to be washed and then thoroughly dried (moreover, if possible and if there is time, it is not recommended to use a hairdryer) and comb with a massage brush. Also, while washing and drying your hair, you can apply a mask or conditioner to your hair that is suitable for your hair type and improves its general condition.

After the preparatory phase is over, you should start weaving.

First of all, you need to comb your hair back (if you wear a bang or want to give a hairstyle of coquetry, then at this moment you need to release the desired locks). For convenience, hair that will not be collected in the hairstyle can be fixed with a clip.

Now you need to throw all the hair on one side of the head (of your choice). At this moment of weaving, it is important to comb your hair smoothly, because loose strands can ruin your hair. It is in order to make the hairstyle as neat as possible, stylists advise using foams, gels and mousses when combing.

Next, the hair needs to be secured in the middle of your head with the help of invisible hairpins or hairpins (they must be placed in a vertical position). To do this, you will need to use two mirrors to be able to observe the process and control it.

That part of the hair that remained free (not secured by invisibles or hairpins) must be twisted with a tourniquet and fixed in the opposite direction over the hairpins to hide them. The end of the tourniquet must also be threaded into the cochlea and secured with studs.

Now proceed to styling the bangs and released strands (you can curl them to create a romantic look). Also, at the end of styling, do not forget to spray hair with varnish to fix it.

The second popular option is a snail with weaving. This variety is more difficult to perform, but it looks spectacular. Most often, a snail with weaving is made on the hair of young fashionistas - the hairstyle looks original and provocatively.

So, after all the preparatory steps have been completed (they are similar to the steps described above), the hair must be divided into several sectors, separately highlighting a round lock on the very top of the head. Now this strand must be divided into 3 smaller strands and start weaving a braid with a braid on the outside (the process is similar to the process of weaving a spikelet, only in our case the braiding is done not from the inside, but from the outside). Weaving should be done in a spiral until you have woven all the hair of a young princess into a snail. The edge of the braid needs to be fixed with an elastic band and passed under the hairstyle to hide.

It is believed that this type of hair styling, being traditional, will suit almost any lady (this applies to age, social status, lifestyle and profession). Nevertheless, most often in a similar way, businesswoman and girls who are going to a festive event are styling their hair. Hair stylists also identify other categories of girls who will like this hairstyle:

• adult women (hairstyle will add charm and efficiency);

• young girls (the snail will give femininity and grace, suitable for an evening out);

• little girls (styling will look fun and provocatively if you add ribbons to the weave or decorate your hair with bright hairpins and invisibles).

In addition, the possibility of styling hair in the hair of a snail does not depend on the type of your curls - In any case, it will be possible to choose a stylish alternative. So, on straight hair you can make a smooth and aristocratic styling, on curls - sloppy and original.Also, this hairstyle is suitable for thin or, conversely, thick hair. There are practically no restrictions.

The only nuance that is recommended to consider is the length of the hair.

An important advantage of a hairstyle is that you can weave it yourself.
