What do you need to create a hairstyle?

To model hairstyles at home you will need:

• elastic;
• several types of combs;
• styling products;
• accessories.

To add volume to the hair, combs with non-sharp teeth are used. The long, slender handle will help separate and redirect strands. Stylists also recommend using special brushes.

Who will do the hairstyle

Combed strands tend to lengthen the face a little, so the high version is most suitable for women with a round face, and for owners of an oval shape, it is recommended to do a little bouffant.

The result depends on the type and length:

• Short. On a very short haircut like a pixie or garcon, it is physically impossible to make a full-fledged styling.
• Average. For a beautiful styling, it is enough to have a bob up to the chin, and the ponytail can be made using hairpins and false curls.
• Long. A very long head of hair may be too heavy to add volume, so you can only raise it at the roots at the crown of the head, and wind the ends to create an elegant tail.
• Curly. By nature, curly strands need to be carefully combed one by one, and at the end be sure to smooth them with a brush.
• Curly. The curls already look voluminous, so it is enough to slightly raise part of the hair above the forehead, and then tie the tail.
• Straight. Best suited for volume and styling.
• Rare. The bouffant will visually add the missing volume to the hair.

The ponytail looks great when cut with side bangs - it emphasizes volume and gives the look depth and greater expressiveness.

Straight bangs look a little strict, but this can be fixed by laying the strands to one side and securing them with gel or a hair clip.

8 brushed tail options

You don't have to be a professional stylist to style beautifully and correctly - this hairstyle can be done on your own at home.

• High tail. The classic ponytail features slicked-back hair that is pulled back high. The bouffant brings some casualness into this hairstyle and emphasizes the face.

• With a fleece around the face. This styling method is suitable for creating an elegant evening hairstyle: make a low side ponytail, wind a few strands, sprinkle with varnish - and the hairstyle is ready.

• With a fleece on the top of the head. Can be done on any length, but ideal for long, heavy and thick hair, as it provides the required volume for a long time

• With a fleece on the back of the head. Styling that will be appropriate in the office and at a party.Gather your hair at the back of your head, and to maintain the desired height, use a small crab hair clip attached under the elastic.

• Voluminous ponytail. A little trick with which you can make your hairstyle more magnificent: collect it from two vertically arranged ponytails and fix it on top with invisible ones.

• With braiding. Another smart option. You can braid under the fleece or on the sides of the braids, which will become part of the tail.

Combed ponytail with a braid. A hairstyle similar to the previous one, but the braid is woven from the strands of the ponytail. There are no restrictions here - it can be a classic braid, a fishtail, or a spikelet. Braids look especially impressive on long hair.

• Sloppy tail. Perfect for a casual look. To achieve negligence, dry your hair with a hairdryer, lifting the strands with your fingers, not a comb. Then tousle a little more and do your hair following a tried and tested pattern.

Jewelry and accessories and recommendations: how to brighten the image

A beautiful, neat styling with a fleece looks stylish in itself, but if desired, it can be supplemented with invisible ones with stones and rhinestones, carved combs, ribbons, and fix the hairstyle on short hair with bright hairpins.

It all depends on the overall look and relevance of such accessories. Most often, an original elastic band is enough, fixing the tail and at the same time making the hairstyle brighter.

Tips for a successful hairstyle

• The bouffant can only be done on dry strands.
• Avoid sudden movements and jerks, work on the hair smoothly and softly.
• To ensure long-term fixation of the styling, use varnish.
• If you pre-wash your hair with conditioner, combing will be much easier.
• Such styling is highly not recommended for weakened, split and brittle hair.
• If active hair loss is observed during combing, it would be more correct to abandon this idea and first treat the hair.

• In appearance, the hairstyle looks rather complicated, but it is done easily and quickly. Separate part of the hair at the crown, comb it a little and collect it in a ponytail.

• We comb the hair in the ponytail and throw it forward for now. Next, we collect the hair for the second ponytail (already without fleece). Add the first tail to them and collect them in an elastic band.

Types of combed hairstyles

This type of styling is not limited to the familiar "babette". There are many beautiful and simple hairstyles that are decorated with bouffants of various types.

Let's start with the “progenitor” of this genre in hairstyles.

In the film, the actress appeared with a high hairdo with fleece from the bangs itself. Such styling later became her trademark, and all combed hairstyles began to be called "Babette". But charming herself Bridget I preferred a slightly different version than in the film - with a fleece on the top of the head and loose hair, like a "Malvina" with loose strands on the face and a voluminous crown.

It is this type of hairstyle that is often repeated by fashion designers and stylists, trying to show the luxury of thick curls of models.

It is not difficult to make such a hairstyle, it is great for growing bangs, and the strands near the face can be left free or tucked into a pile. Such styling with a ribbon in the hair looks very cute and feminine.

The popular version of the tail with a voluminous crown fell in love with fashionistas for its beauty and ease of execution. This hairstyle is suitable for long hair and shows luxurious hair in all its glory.

You can make a high ponytail with a little fleece from the bangs itself or the forehead.

Or add a lower tail on the back of the head with a voluminous crown. Now in fashion, a slight carelessness and a piled ponytail are just suitable for such a style. All that is needed is to comb the hair over the ponytail and then tie the hair into a loose ponytail, not worrying about the strands that come out and light shaggy.

This hairstyle option was loved by wedding stylists for the opportunity to complement the styling with a beautiful tiara or hair clip. A low bun can be smooth, curls, or slightly sloppy. A bouffant is performed over it, starting from the forehead or shifting the volumetric part slightly to the back of the head.

The hair raised in the front of the head allows for a good fixation of the jewelry and veil. You can wear this hairstyle in everyday life, but without flashy hairpins and shiny jewelry.

This elegant hairstyle was shown to us by a charming Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

The smooth bouffant over the forehead, combined with the high bun and catchy tiara made this styling option suitable for many evening looks.

Moreover, such a hairstyle adds height, opens the neck and makes facial features more expressive. Recently, a more popular option is a carelessly laid high bun, with a fleece, which captures the bangs or strands at the forehead.

A daring, catchy and very effective hairstyle in a rocker style was worn at one time Kim Kardashian, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba and many other celebrities. Despite the seeming simplicity, this styling always attracts the eye and makes the image sexy and defiant.

• To create it, you need to remove the hair from the temples up, and comb the strands in the middle part of the head from the forehead, forming a kind of "mohawk". This hairstyle is done on perfectly smooth and straightened hair.

Another favorite variation of hairstyles for wedding stylists is the brushed shell. This style is ideal for straight and smooth hair, emphasizing its structure. It also goes well with straight and oblique bangs. It is created in the same way as the usual "shell" hairstyle, only then at the crown of the head the strands are pulled out of the hairstyle for more volume.

If you need a large fleece, then you can put a special roller under the strands.

Combing is good because it is suitable for hair of any length, well, except that only the shortest "boyish" haircuts with short strands cannot be combed. For example, if we are talking about a short haircut with long bangs, then long strands at the forehead can be wrapped back, combed and styled with a "tuft".

Or make a voluminous side bangs, laying the strands in a chaotic mess. You can also add volume to the hair at the crown.

With bob and bob haircuts, you can always comb the top of the head, adding volume to the back of the head and thereby highlighting the bangs or side strands. If there are no bangs, then you can separate one strand from the forehead, comb it and roll a bagel or make a "mohawk" in the style of glam rock.

Retro style

To perform it, you should divide the hair into two parts, collect the top layer in a ponytail, comb, take a roller and carefully insert it into the volume. Give it a smooth top, hide excess hair inside. To hide the elastic, wrap a thin section of hair around it.
