Shell hairstyle for medium and long hair

An original hairstyle for all occasions

A French bun, called a shell, is an excellent, and most importantly, a simple way of styling, appropriate both for every day and for a special occasion. Such a hairstyle will ideally emphasize all the femininity and elegance of the owner, visually stretch and make the neck more graceful, add nobility to any image.

Who is this styling available to?

The shell is not at all difficult to perform, the main thing is to practice a little in order to delve into all the subtleties and you can do it yourself in a matter of minutes. Of course, the first time it may not work out neatly, but over time, having filled your hand, an understanding of all its simplicity comes.

No special tools are required for such styling. It is enough to have on hand a comb, hairpins and any means for fixing. In addition, any jewelry is suitable for her, be it hairpins with stones, hairpins or an ordinary scarf.

Another advantage of the shell is its versatility. It can be done on any hair, the main thing is that their length is not shorter than the shoulders. Thin, thick, even or curly - it doesn't matter at all. And the variety of shell options allows you to choose the one that is ideally suited to the occasion and appearance of almost any representative of the fair sex.

Shell stacking options

The shell can be either a strict business one or a slightly disheveled romantic one with embossed strands. Both voluminous, high, with a fleece, and very modest. Most of its options come from a single classic, so you need to start your acquaintance with it.

Classic shell

• Fresh hair can be slightly moisturized and applied with any available styling product (gel, mousse, foam);
• Dry and comb well (if the hair is thin or sparse, it is worth combing a little at the roots);
• We collect all the curls back into the tail, but do not overtighten with an elastic band;
• We twist a neat tourniquet from the tail;
• We form a roller from a tourniquet and hide the tips under it;
• We fix it with hairpins and invisibility, so that you can probably sprinkle it with varnish.

By adding a little bouffant on top, or by releasing strands on the sides, or both at the same time, you can turn an ordinary everyday classic shell into a real festive sophisticated hairstyle.

Shell without harness

This option is also often called a twist or banana. To style it, you need a little more invisibility and the styling products used must be of strong fixation.

• Apply a styling agent to the washed slightly damp curls and comb it with a comb, distributing it along the entire length;
• We collect the tail and take it to the left, and on the right we pick up all the knocked out protruding hairs;
• We twist the hair into a roller to the right, hide the ends inward;
• We fix it with invisibility and varnish.

The bouffant and elongated strands in this version are also relevant.
