The images of the Greek goddesses and ancient queens still continue to inspire hairdressers. It is safe to say that the Greek hairstyle is generally equivalent to the concept of a female wedding hairstyle. She looks not only with an outfit in the Greek style, but also with any of the most elegant or luxurious wedding dresses. Attracting attention to the bride’s face, emphasizing its soft and aristocratic features, volumetric styling becomes a worthy setting and the completion of an ideal image.

There are several main types of Greek wedding hairstyles that are performed by hairdressers. The remaining varieties are created on their basis:

• Greek beam (or lampadione based on it as a more complex option);

• Greek braid;

• Greek tail

• Greek "cascade".

Greek hairstyle is unthinkable without hairpins and jewelry. The natural beauty of curly curls in the homeland is complemented by flowers. As a rule, these are white or cream buds. Ideally, if they harmonize or repeat the flowers in the bride's bouquet. It can be artificial jewelry or real inflorescences. So that natural flowers do not lose freshness, they are pre-treated with wax.

Another popular and most common accessory is a veil. You need to be careful with her. Heavy and too patterned fabric can damage the hair or distract all attention. It is better to choose a transparent and as light as possible veil of medium length. It can also be decorated with a wide strip of lace around the edge.

Sometimes a mesh is used instead of a veil to emphasize the unusual and sophisticated look. This item is best suited for owners of medium or short hair. Also, the air accessory goes well with the Greek beam or lampadion.

Ribbons, beads are often woven into a Greek braid or loose tail. They emphasize the complexity of weaving and give a greater volume to the hairstyle. Headbands are also frequent companions of a Greek-style wedding hairstyle. Narrow or wide, one or more of metal, ribbon, lace, they can resemble a diadem in magnificence or succinctly hold the border of the bangs. Whichever option you choose, It is in the Greek hairstyle that he will look the most spectacular.

Elastic bands and ribbons for Greek hairstyles allow you to make an interesting option at home. To do this, the hair is curled into a curling iron or curlers, paying particular attention to the ends. A special elastic band is put on hair separated by a straight parting. The ends of the hair are tucked under it. It turns out the original free roller. In front, such styling is usually framed by small curly locks.

The diadem is another reason to feel like a Greek queen. This small likeness of a crown is most often worn on the forehead with a light weight of the jewelry or on the parietal part. Sometimes they attach it to the back of the head. Optionally, the diadem must be made of precious metals with natural stones. But the quality should be good enough so that the accessory does not look cheap.

The Greek braid became popular more than ten years ago, not only as a festive styling, but also in a casual style. Now you can find many of its varieties: French braid, spikelet, etc.The difference between the Greek version is in slight negligence. The hairstyle is both natural and harmonious, but at the same time quite thought out - from the location on one side or the other of the head to the added accessories.

This option is a real masterpiece. A heavy multi-layered hairstyle looks great framed by flowers, beads, ribbons, often performed using artificial strands to create volume. The master skillfully straightens individual strands from a common braid to give light carelessness and naturalness to hair. It creates the effect of a charming Greek princess or nymph who casually gathered curls scattered on her shoulders from running.

A braid can be one, formed by wide free curls, and can consist of several medium in volume, starting at the temples, and then turning into a general bizarre weaving pattern. She can go straight, but more often weaves a little to one side. The curled ends of the hair are framed with accessories in the form of ribbons and flowers and freely fall down or are removed in the hairstyle. Often, Greek braids become the basic element for more complex hairstyles, such as the Greek knot.

The Greek tail is one of the most uncomplicated variations that can be done even on your own at home with the right skill. A veil is a good addition to it, since all the beauty of the hairstyle is visible from the side. The tail begins more often on the back of the head and straightens somewhat asymmetrically on one shoulder, less often on both. It consists of curls or Greek braids. Often it is made of several strands twisted by plaits, which are connected to one in the middle of the length.

Often mix Greek tail and braid to get an unusual and interesting option. This hairstyle is especially recommended for brides with short hair, because it is the easiest to use false hair. It is worth noting that the more complex the drawing of the hairstyle framing the head, the more modest and less jewelry should be in the hair.

Greek "cascade" is a popular option for long hair. The hairstyle is based on the free position of hair curled into curls. Curls should not be smooth and even. The effect of slight negligence with curls of different sizes is welcome. Using invisible hair, curled hair is removed from the face and cleaved low above the neck or slightly higher at the back of the head, if the hairstyle is not too heavy. For extra volume on the sides of the temples and on the top of the head, fleece is often used.

Hair in such a styling is beautiful both by itself and with the addition of small accessories. With such a hairstyle, the diadem is most popular, but a voluminous veil will not be the best companion. It is also worth thinking about choosing a dress. Loose hair, flowing to the back and shoulders, require the most open upper part of the dress.

The Greek knot or the lampadion created on its basis is one of the most spectacular and difficult to complete types of wedding hairstyles. There are simple options, but in a complex and voluminous design with many framing curls, you still can not do without a professional. This is a great hairstyle for medium hair. She most effectively emphasizes the shoulders that are opened to the eye and the elegant neck of the bride.

Hair is pulled back completely. The hairdresser can leave some thin curly strands at the temples or neck for showiness.The strands gather high on the occipital part, forming a similarity of the crown in shape, or in a simpler version the knot is located quite low, closer to the neck, and curls of various shapes are knocked out of its volume, as if on purpose.

The main thing in this hairstyle is to create a solid foundation, on top of which the remaining strands will lie in the most intricate way. The entire volume of hair should be well fixed with invisible hairpins and styling products.

The most impressive are "cascades" of blond hair, in the curls of which small rhinestones are soldered. A spectacular addition will be a diadem with a scattering of stones. Owners of red hair are lush Greek braids or combinations with the Greek tail framed by fresh white flowers.

Brunettes are low tufts of Greek knots with a complex pattern of curls. Frames such a hairstyle, as a rule, a spectacular hairpin, and a tender veil is attached below the knot.

The most luxurious option, emphasizing the position of the hostess of the holiday, will be a high lampadion, with strands of different lengths released, freely flowing from under it.

Each of the options looks advantageous with a bang, which is often specially highlighted with a diadem or rims and various ribbons. A straight or slightly combed side, it helps to harmonize facial features and make the shape of the forehead perfect.
