History and style description

It is impossible not to notice the hipster, because he is always the embodiment of the holiday. So guys and girls expressed their protest against the surrounding reality, their desire to dress fashionably, brightly and beautifully and to look the way they want, and not “as it should”. The direction originated in the late 40s, when international contacts intensified in the USSR after the Second World War.

The wealthy youth, copying the style of their American and English peers, emphasized their special status.

Natives of the "people", supporting the new movement, sought to resist the post-war devastation, which introduced them into a state of depression.

Trophy items brought to the USSR after the war, films and foreign records with jazz and dance melodies - all this attracted and inspired Soviet youth. She protested against the uniformity and stereotypes that apply to clothing, music, and even thoughts and beliefs.

Therefore, boys and girls emphasized their deliberate apoliticality, disdain for certain moral norms and tried to stand out listening to fashionable Western music, communicating in slang and creating an individual, bright image and elegant hairstyle even for everyday life.

At first, the images were slightly baggy, ridiculous, but soon became more elegant. Attributes:

• tapered pipe trousers, which were more often worn by men, but women also wore them;
• Shorts with a high waist;
• blouses with sleeves-"lanterns" or pointed shoulders for girls and shirts in bright colors for guys;
• a cropped bolero or a short knitted cardigan without a collar, for men - a bright jacket;
• a fitted dress covering the knees with a fluffy skirt or a sheath model (less often);
  petticoat;
• a skirt-sun or a narrowed model, necessarily midi length;
• shoes - ballet flats, classic pumps, and for men - shoes with thick microporous light-colored soles made of rubber (reminiscent of semolina porridge, for which they received the appropriate name);
• fabrics - cotton, silk, satin;
• colors - bright: yellow, purple, red, orange, green, blue, etc.;
• print - polka dots, lines, floral abstractions, men often wore "Hawaiian" shirts in the summer;
• all kinds of accessories: beads, bracelets, earrings, hoops, bags, gloves, belts, for guys - narrow ties, etc.

The makeup was also noticeable. A must - bright lips. They drew “arrows” or made smoky eyes before our eyes. Often, shadows of bright shades were used at the same time.

By the way. Initially, the word "dudes" had a negative, disapproving connotation. The representatives of this subculture themselves called themselves “staff members” (from “States” - the United States, since most often young people wore clothes of American brands). Although historically it is believed that Soviet dudes adopted the fashionable experience from the "teddy-boys" - English guys, representatives of the working class, who imitated the "golden youth".

By the end of the 60s, the direction gradually faded away, and in the 80s it revived again for a short time. After the release of the Russian film Hipsters (directed by V. Todorovsky) in 2008, interest in retro flared up with renewed vigor.

Girls began to choose bright images for themed parties and photo shoots, proms and weddings. 60s men's fashion proved to be less popular. Colorful outfits, stylish hairstyles and accessories are also used for children. Basically, of course, for creating festive looks.

Characteristic features of hairstyles

The time of the dudes coincided with the birth of rock and roll and rockabilly, the release of cult films. It is not surprising that all this had an impact on the subculture, since actors and representatives of popular musical genres demonstrated fashion trends by personal example.

For example, "Cock" has become the highlight of the image of Elvis Presley and one of the most popular hairstyles among dudes. The hair on the crown is lifted up, and the side strands are smoothed back.

• In 1959, the film "Babette Goes to War" was released, in which Brigitte Bardot played the main role. Especially for the actress, the famous stylist Jacques Dessange came up with an elegant hairstyle, which was named after the heroine "Babette". Combed and smoothed hair at the back is laid in a lush bun - a voluminous hemisphere. The hair was supplemented with ribbons and other accessories. Variations of "Babette" have become one of the most recognizable hairstyles for dudes.

• The 50s is the peak of the heyday of Marilyn Monroe's career. Many women tried to repeat the curls of the famous blonde. Not surprisingly, they have become an integral part of the stylish look.
• In addition, women of fashion from the 40s-60s put their hair in a high ponytail, did the “Corolla of the World” and “Victory Rolls” hairstyles, curled Hollywood curls, twisted bangs, combed strands, complemented the images with kerchiefs, etc. case, you need to remember about the key features of styling hairstyles: elegance, clarity and smoothness of lines, splendor and volume

Who are they going to?

Stylish hairstyles are performed on straight hair, which is why owners of curly hair will have to pull them out with an iron. And girls with straight hair most often need additional straightening of the strands, because they must be perfectly even and smooth. Only then will the hairstyle be truly stylish if it is done perfectly. There are no tousled bunches, strands that have come out, structures that have moved to one side - everything must be fixed in such a way that even dancing until you drop will not damage the styling.

As for the length, there are no restrictions - both short and long hair can be styled in a "babette" or in another complex design.

Highlights for styling styling:

• lush voluminous hair;
• natural color, healthy shine;
• clear smooth lines;
• straight strands;
• bright yet sophisticated decor.

Most authentic hairstyles will not lose their relevance if reproduced in their original, classic form. However, modern modifications are also good, however, this is no longer a style of dudes.Perhaps the most expressive styling for long and medium hair in the style of dandies is the "babette". If you do not do a strong pile, it will organically fit into the daytime look, and for the evening you can create a classic "babette". It will accentuate a beautiful neck, expressive cheekbones, a clear lip contour, big eyes.

Owners of round faces and curvaceous shapes should choose a different styling, as "babette" with its smooth rounded lines will add unnecessary volume.

When this hairstyle first appeared, whatever the girls did to achieve more volume - they mercilessly combed their hair from root to tip, fixed the strands with beer and sugar water, put socks, foam rollers and even cans! It's much easier now. Mousse and foam will help to achieve root volume, and smoothing agents will give a mirror shine to the strands.

Professional hair dryers with different attachments will style your hair the way you want it. The iron will make the strands perfectly straight, and the thermal protection products will protect the curls from overheating. You can fix the result with varnish, which will not glue the hair like a helmet, but will leave the hairstyle alive and mobile.

Since retro style hairstyles are incredibly popular with pin-up fans, there are more than enough instructions on how to make them at home on the Internet. Guided by them, you can create any, even the most complex-looking styling step by step.

Long

Hair longer than the shoulder blades will make a wonderful babette. It does not even have to be strongly combed, since due to the length and amount of hair, the hairstyle will have the required volume. If the hair is heavy, thick, you need to take care of a good fixing agent and a large number of hairpins.

Spiral hairpins are well suited for this type of strand, they hold more reliably than ordinary ones, and do not knock out of the hairstyle in the manner of hedgehog needles.

The Peace Corolla is another stylish pin-up hairstyle that is appropriate during the day and in the evening, and on the beach and in the city.

To create styling, a wide strand is separated from the face (like a bang), and the rest of the hair is twisted into a voluminous bun. A large curl is formed from the strand above the forehead using a curling iron and carefully secured with invisibility and varnish. If you have a bang, then the semblance of a curl needs to be made from it.After that, the back of the head is covered with a scarf, which is tied with a beautiful knot on the forehead - between the bun and the "bangs".

• "Lush tail" from long strands it will look very impressive if curled into tight large curls, which are well fixed with varnish. The hairstyle can be decorated with a bright scarf or ribbon. Long hair can be crafted into beautiful Victory Rolls with the knack. Having screwed the rest of the strands onto the tongs and creating curls, the rollers are separated from them with a scarf or tape.

Victory Rolls can also be decorated with a bun, and the same scarf tied with a beautiful knot will complete the hairstyle.

If the hair is longer than the shoulder blades, Victory Rolls can be laid not forward, on the forehead, but twisted back like horns. The hair is divided into a parting (most often not ideally symmetrically), a "horn" is formed from each half. At the same time, the hair on the crown and back of the head can be left loose, curling into tight curls, or it can be collected in a bun or shell.

Any combination will be very effective, provided that it is done carefully.

Short

Stylish hairstyles are often decorated with a ribbon, scarf or headband. In most cases, this is one element that matches the outfit in color. For styling on short hair, a ribbon or a hoop is an indispensable element that softens the harshness of the image and gives it additional femininity.

The ribbon can be tied with a knot at the top, creating a semblance of a turban. This styling is suitable for haircuts with or without bangs. Instead of a ribbon, you can use a scarf, then the hair on the back of the head will completely hide under it. The strands at the top of the head need to be combed and fixed so that they look voluminous. The crown area is separated from the bangs using a horizontal parting. If the haircut does not imply the ability to wind the crown strands on curlers or tongs, fleece will come to the rescue.

The ends of the hair can be curled in or out, both for a retro look.

Average

Medium-length hair can either be put in a "babette", decorated with a beautiful silk ribbon, or in a spectacular "high flight". This styling looks best at the medium length. It is done in this way: a fleece is formed on the top of the head and fixed with hairpins, invisibility and varnish. The strands around the face are fixed back, under the "babette", and on the back of the head they are curled with tongs in large curls. It is also desirable to fix them with varnish.

It is important to remember that for this hairstyle, the hair must be carefully stretched with an iron, it must be perfectly straight.

Also for hair of medium length, all styles that are recommended for long hair are suitable. And there is even a plus - it will be much easier to make them, since the strands are shorter. Babette will be easier to wear on your head, a fluffy tail will not pull your neck back, and the "corolla of the world" will hold perfectly.

As far as Victory Rolls are concerned, mid-lengths are best for shaping them, they come out with the right diameter and hold very well.

• At this length, Marilyn Monroe's hairstyle will look great. To make the curls, which have become a kind of "trademark" of this style icon, you need curling irons, hairpins, invisible hairpins, a means for fixing. The hair needs to be divided into 4 parts: frontal, middle and two lateral.
• First you need to curl the strands on the frontal part: each in a tight curl, securing it with invisibility. After that, the hair in the middle part is curled in the same way.
• The side parts must be divided into a straight parting and curls should be wound. After that, the entire hairstyle is fixed with varnish, the hairpins are carefully removed and each curl is disassembled. They should not remain "rings". Once again, fixing the styling with varnish, you can go out.
• Combining the ponytail with Victory Rolls creates some interesting styling. Firstly, the curls on the forehead can be styled in completely different ways, and secondly, the tail also varies - from fleece to tight curls. In addition, the fluffy tail is in perfect harmony with the "corolla of the world." It can be decorated with a ribbon, scarf, thin scarf.

We should not forget about such a feminine and sophisticated styling as the "shell". If you combine it with a voluminous fleece on the top of the head, it will acquire the features of a dandy style. An ordinary "shell" does not imply a large volume, but the variant for dudes should be super-volumetric. Therefore, when starting to create it, take care of a significant supply of hairpins and invisible hairpins, styling to create root volume, and strong hold hairspray.

The "shell" can be combined with fancy curls on the forehead. It will look even more stylish. You can also decorate it with a large hair clip, ribbon or headscarf.

• If you have not yet learned how to make complex hairstyles with your own hands, there is one styling that will not take more than 10 minutes even for a beginner. This is a bundle. You need to prepare a beautiful scarf, hairpins, curling iron and a comb. Use a comb to separate the frontal section or bangs, if you have one, and pin. Comb the hair of the crown part, form a beautiful roller and fix it securely with hairpins.
• Make sure the bunch has the shape you want and secure it with varnish. With the help of tongs, make a beautiful curl from the bangs and also fix with varnish. Tie the scarf beautifully, separating the frontal curls from the bun with it.
• The knot should be on top.

Styling with a scarf, kerchief

Bright accessories are irreplaceable in the look of dudes. Grab a bandana to complement your retro hairstyle. Gather the hair at the top, and from the back, grab it with a scarf, the ends of which are tied at the top of the head or on the side. The styling is also combined with bangs. Or tie a scarf on loose or high-set curls, turning the accessory into a kind of bandage or headband.

Bangs design

This part of the hair can be styled beautifully and elegantly. For example, curl with small curls or turn it into a "pipe" with a curling iron or curlers. Another option is to lay it in the form of a graceful "Coca". Such a bang will well complement a lush ponytail or other high styling. Use invisibility to fix it.

Kids hairstyles

Styles for little girls repeat the images of adult girls. These are variations of "Babette" or "Peace pipes", all kinds of hairstyles with bright ribbons, etc. The baby can look at stylized photos and choose what she likes. Of course, styling for a young princess should contain a minimum amount of styling and be done without a strong pile. Use the possibilities of the hair itself, and also actively use bright accessories.

Flaws:

But these styling will be indispensable for a solemn event and any holiday on which you want to feel like a real queen of the evening.
