Gatsby style hairstyles: ideas and tips for their implementation

In 2013, Baz Lurman’s film “The Great Gatsby” was released, making a revolution in style. The aesthetics of the magnificent 20s sparkled with new colors and turned out to be relevant almost a century later. Gatsby-style parties, outfits, decor, design and, of course, hairstyles have gained new recognition.

There are several clear, defining differences in this style. At the beginning of the XX century, women turned to short haircuts, it was a revelation, trendy hairstyles took possession of the minds of ladies of high society and not only them. Nothing boyish, athletic and brutal: shortened haircuts suggested feminine styling, emphasis on facial features and elegant accessories. Therefore, if you have a short haircut, this will not stop you from doing it yourself with an elegant classic styling that will set you apart from the crowd.

Other Gatsby Style Signs:

• side partings - they were emphasized in the hairstyle, they stood out for styling and not only;
• waves are the most noticeable feature of the style, it is these ideal, obedient, clearly fixed waves in the hairstyles of beauties that make the style recognizable;
• tight curls - no mess, exquisite disheveledness and deliberate naturalness, everything is tight and strictly fixed, the hairstyle remained impeccable throughout the day;
• the use of conspicuous accessories - ribbons, hair clips, headbands, etc. were used.

Women could wear their hair loose, but in this there was no naturalness like "combed and went."Even loose hair clearly preserved specially created waves, which did not interfere with either the wind or any active work.

If you try, you can, without the help of a specialist, make styling in the Gatsby style on hair of different lengths. Let's start with the middle one. Useful for work: curling iron, tongs, wooden comb, curlers, as well as ironing and clamps.

How to do styling.

• Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo that enhances the shine and silkiness of the hair.
• Dry your hair. Comb them thoroughly, distribute thermal protection products along the entire length.
• When the thermal protection dries, heat the curling iron. Curl curls in one direction, without straightening curls with your hands. Pre-organize a clear side parting.
• Take a strong hold styling. Your task is to beat the curls with your fingers and join them in one large part on one side. It turns out that the hair is thrown over one shoulder or strive for this.
• Take the rim with rhinestones, put it on your head, it should be about 2 cm above the eyebrows.

The whole point is in accessories - if you just leave clearly fixed waves, it will be the 30-40s, the golden age of Hollywood, but still less grotesque aesthetics. Therefore, the hairstyle must be supported by a bright, catchy accessory, it does not matter whether you are styling long hair or medium hair. For short hair, you can also perform a chic hairstyle in this aesthetic.

If you have a bob haircut that’s not out of fashion, then you can go back 100 years in terms of appearance as well. Short haircuts look very different if you make styling in the Gatsby style - they look more complex, bright, emphasize facial features even better.

The actions are simple.

• Along the entire length of a little damp hair, apply a strong hold foam. Another option is a gel, styling will be with a wet effect, for an evening hairstyle this is not bad.
• Separate your hair with a clear side part.
• When using a triple curling iron or clamps, build S-shaped waves on the curls.
• Fix the resulting varnish.

It remains only to supplement the hairstyle at your discretion: such a styling is suitable for the rim with a feather, a large flower. Earrings should also be bright and self-contained. Makeup is recommended smoky eyes with a slight effect of lowered corners of the eyes.

Short caret or hair already regrowing below the shoulders lends itself well to the following styling. Hair, as in other recommendations, needs to be washed (use a shampoo with reflective inclusions), dry. Spread a reflective mousse on them along their entire length. Separate curls on a clear side parting. To facilitate styling, you need to use clamps - with them, divide the hair along vertical paths.

Then each strand is curled into curls with a curling iron (the occipital direction is used). Fix the resulting curl with a clip, the hair should cool in this position. When all the curls are curled, the clips can be removed.

To make such a styling a little more difficult, but there are much more options here: bundles and weaving, plaits and rollers are allowed.

The scheme of one of the styling.

• Wash and dry your hair, apply special thermal protective agents to them.
• Separate your hair with a side part.
• Take a few strands closer to the contour of the face. Fix them so that they do not interfere with other hair manipulations.
• All other curls curl with a curling iron into not the largest curls. Fluff up your hair barely noticeably, so that it becomes more magnificent from top to bottom, the top (top) should be smooth. Fix with varnish.
• The strands that were left “for later” should be turned into waves with the help of clamps.Subsequently, curls with small curls are separated from the waves by a rim, silk ribbon, beads or other decoration.

Many girls want to use Gatsby-style hairstyles in a modern way. Yet with such bright accessories you can only appear at a party, but you really want to do a beautiful hairstyle more often. In this sense, it is easier for short-haired girls: to create waves, a lot of time will not go away.

If, however, we are talking about long hair, then their main mass can be hidden on the back of the head in a bun, and those curls that frame the face can be turned into waves using clips.

For girls, choosing such a vivid image for some significant event, finding accessories is very important.

• Feathers. Familiar to many cabaret style here is very appropriate. Such jewelry is suitable for magnificent hair, feathers can be fixed on the side or choose a bezel with feathers in the center of the forehead.
• Satin ribbon. Necessarily with beads or stones, a simple satin ribbon without decor will look faded and not quite accompany the style.
• Hat-shaped hair clip. Another option, not the most associative style, but still valid. You can attach it anywhere, but more often from the side.
• Netting cap. This accessory almost completely covers the head, on the side of such a hat there is almost always a radiant applique.

Of the preferred colors - black, white, milky, pearl, gray. Of course, a hairstyle can only be part of the look, and if everything else does not match the style, it will not look convincing. Therefore, you will have to select everything in one ensemble: from shoes to hairpins.

Stars often refer to this style. Moreover, “Gatsby” it is called mainly in Russian-speaking countries, which was influenced by the Oscar-winning film. And others are the name of the style, more familiar - “Chicago” and “gangster”. Jazz became popular, cinema developed, designers shifted their eyes from the figured beauties to thin girls with almost a boy’s constitution. The time of pleasure, eternal celebration and morning sobering still excites the minds.

Good examples of the embodiment of style among the stars.

• Tyra Banks. Such elegant hairstyles help females to look feminine.

• Katy Perry Once a brunette, Katie often played retro looks. And her example is indicative of brunettes with caret and equally beautiful expressive eyes.

• Taylor Swift. A soft version of the style, suitable not only for an evening out.

• Madonna More than once the queen of pop music tried on retro images, they really suit her.

• Christina Aguilera. She loves not only burlesque, but vintage values ​​that are impressive to this day.
