Summaries: Hair styling methods. Face shapes and hairstyles for them

By definition, a hairstyle is the hair on a person's head that is cut and styled in a certain way. Any hairstyle consists of separate well-known elements, these elements have a certain shape, technique of execution and methods of execution. To create a hairstyle, use scissors, various combs, a hairdryer, curlers, curling irons, hairpins, invisibility, rubber bands, a razor, various hair styling products: varnish, foam, gels, mousses, serums, oils, etc. A hairstyle is the end result of a combination of harmonious elements that, as a whole, make up the result of hairdressing - a hairstyle.

The hairstyle consists of such basic elements as:

Parting,

Blunting,

Curl,

· Relief, as well as other elements ..

1. Parting - this is a line, traditionally it is straight - although it can also be curly, for example, zigzag. Parting serves to separate hair in a hairstyle or styling into parts that may be equal or not equal to each other. Traditionally, the parting runs from the edge of the hairline to the highest point of the head.

There are partings: straight, side and curly partings, half partings, vertical, horizontal and radial partings. The part is the most popular element of the hairstyle, because we use it almost daily.

Most often, straight, side (oblique) partings, as well as half-partings are used to decorate the hairstyle; there are also checkerboard and diagonal hair partings.

Straight the parting divides the hair into two equal parts. The side parting divides the hair into two unequal parts and most often runs from the frontal notch (right or left) to the highest point of the head.

Figured the parting consists of several straight lines that can form various patterns.

Half-part - this is a shortened parting line. It can also be straight, side (oblique) and curly.

Vertical parting allows you to divide the scalp into vertical strands.

Horizontal parting allows you to divide the scalp into horizontal strands.

Radial parting allows you to divide the scalp into radial strands.

The use of different partings on the hair can radically change a person's appearance in different ways each time. Plus, it's easy enough to do. Just move it from the center to the side for example. The result can be amazing. In addition, the parting can also distract from minor flaws in appearance.

Parting straight.

Today, parted hair is back in fashion. Earlier it was considered to wear a parting in the relic of a bygone era, but such world stars as Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow gave the parting a new life in the fashion world. Parting is back in vogue. But, unfortunately, it does not suit everyone. For example, you should consider the following points before deciding to part your hair in the center: a straight part is most suitable for a small face. In addition, a parting in the hair tends to completely open the face, therefore, when using a straight parting, a round face will appear even rounder. You should also not use a straight parting decisively if you need to hide some facial lines or wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. Wavy or curly hair looks great with a parted hair, but straight and thin hair tends to look heavy rather than sleek. In the same case, when the hair is dyed, the parting in the center of the head will pay special attention to the natural regrown roots of a different color.

Side parting.

Side parting looks very attractive and works well for most women. The asymmetry of the side parting perfectly compensates for not quite ideal facial features and small imperfections in appearance, such as, for example, a large nose; the jutting line becomes less obvious. Side parting can visually make a narrower face out of a wide face and can even hide some fine wrinkles on the face. We recommend making a side parting slightly to the right or left and changing it from time to time in the opposite direction. With loose hair, parting will give your hair more charm and volume.

Zigzag parting.

The zigzag parting is not used as often as other types of parting, although it looks very impressive in the hairstyle, and also tends to lift the hair and give it additional volume.

To create a zigzag parting, you need to draw a thin part of a brush or comb in a zigzag manner, and then separate each strand from each other, laying them in turn.

You may want to apply a little hairspray, gel, or wax to separate strands and hold the hair in place.

Modern zigzag parting cannot be neat. In the 1980s, the zig-zag parting looked very graphic, as if drawn. This kind of neatness is considered old-fashioned these days. A little casualness is in vogue now. Regrown hair roots should also not interfere with this type of parting.

Wave - it is also a hairstyle element, which is a smooth bend of the hair, limited on both sides by crowns (hairstyle elements).

In relation to the front of the head, the waves are protruding or reverse. The protruding waves are directed towards the face and go beyond the edge line of hair growth, and the backward waves are directed away from the face.

Depending on the location in relation to the parting, direct, oblique and transverse waves are distinguished. Straight waves are placed parallel to the parting when laying, oblique ones - at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the parting, and transverse ones - perpendicular to the imaginary parting.

By size, waves are divided into narrow and wide, shallow and deep, low and high. It should also be borne in mind that the narrower and deeper the wave, the longer it will retain its shape, which means the longer the hairstyle will hold.

Depending on the shape, narrow, wide, large, deep, plane waves are distinguished.

The optimal width of each individual wave is usually 2 cm. Large waves, as a rule, are 5-6 cm wide.

Crown is also an element of the hairstyle. The crown is the highest wave line along which a sharp bend of the hair occurs and where they change their direction to the opposite. The crown also separates one wave from another.

Crowns can be low or high, narrow or wide. It should be borne in mind that the narrower and higher the crown, the longer the shape of the hairstyle remains.

Curl represents a strand of hair, curled into a tube and laid out in the form of a spiral.

According to the location, the curls are divided into vertical, horizontal and drainage. Curls are also distinguished according to the methods and techniques of hair twisting - they are twisted up, down, eight or half eight.

Bang is an important part of the hairstyle, although not required. Small changes in the shape of the bangs can affect the overall perception of the hairstyle and overall look. Bangs are generally distinguished by hair density, length, cutting method, edging shape, and coloring method. The bangs can be pronounced or included in the bulk of the hair in the parietal zone.

Bangs can be long and short, fluffy or sparse, smooth or wavy. The bangs can be cut, for example, in an oblique line or straight, and can also be double.

The appearance of the bangs and, accordingly, the entire image as a whole can be changed if you style its individual strands of hair, curls or curls.

Beech is an element of the hairstyle. Translated from the French language, curls are translated as curls. It is also an outdated name for hair that is curled in large rings. Historically, this hairstyle element has come to us since the days of lush secular points and was popular in the 17th-18th centuries.

Buckles are blunt, combed out, as well as hair laid out in rings or tight rollers. Buckles - a strand of hair that is combed, then smoothed with a comb on one side and on the other, varnished and shaped with hairpins into details similar to curls, only wider in different directions

Roller - This is combed and laid out in the form of a roller hair, mainly laid out along the edge line of growth, although there are other options.

Curl - this is a part of the curl in one turn of the strand around the shape or the end of the strand, which is curled with a ring.

Relief - these are strands of hair separated by furrows. Most often we can observe the relief when weaving volumetric braids.

In the hairstyle, as the main elements are also used bouffant and blunting... They help to create volume and shape of the hairstyle, lift the hair, so it is impossible to do without them when creating a wedding or evening hairstyle.

Bouffant - this is the process of dense churning of hair over the entire width and thickness of the strand.

Blunting - This is a slight churning of hair on the top of the strand (weak pile).

When combing, the strand is processed from the inside and outside evenly and tightly, strand by strand.

When blunting, the strands are processed either from the outside or from the inside.

When combing and tuping, the comb should always be located with its teeth away from itself, while it is strictly parallel to the head. It will work more conveniently if the comb is placed on fingers closed in a fist and pressed on top with your thumb.

In hairstyles, the fleece is always inside, the extreme strands are always blunt.

Hair styling methods.

Hair styling is called curling them for a short time. Hair styling consists of various operations, with the help of which hairstyles of any shape and pattern are performed.

Styling can be done in several ways: blow-dry, tweezers (hot styling), styling with curlers and clips, and cold styling with a comb and fingers.

Hair styling with a hairdryer It is widely used not only in women's but also in men's hairstyles. If the hair is short, a hairdryer will help to give the hair the desired shape.

Before styling your hair with a hairdryer, you must apply a fixative (foam, gel) to it. Grab the ends of the hair and pull back, directing the air stream tangentially to the head from the roots to the ends of the hair. Pull short hair vertically relative to the surface of the head. Use your fingers or a comb to wrap the ends of the hair according to their direction in the hairstyle. When using a hair dryer, the strands of hair are pulled back with a regular comb or brush.

Hair styling with a brush and a hairdryer should be started from the parietal zone of the head or from the parting, if any. The brush must be kept parallel to the parting, grabbing a strand of it, then lifting it at the roots and turning it slightly towards you. Move the brush away from the parting and at the same time along it to the right or left. Direct the air stream under the brush from the parting side. Dry hair gradually along the brush. Do this several times until you get the desired shape. Next, process the rest of the head. If the hair is styled with a comb and hairdryer, then the comb should be held in the left hand perpendicular to the strand, then insert the teeth of the comb into the hair at a distance of 2-3 cm from the root and move slightly to the right. The first wave will turn out.

Turn the comb with the teeth up, take it towards you and blow dry your hair with a stream of air, directing it to the left. Repeat the operation, but vice versa. Next, process the rest of the head in this way. It is best to use a hair dryer with adjustable airflow. After blow-drying for crisp waves and curls, the hair can be treated with tongs and set with hairspray.

Hair styling with tongs, or hot styling, is performed only on dry and clean hair, since it is dangerous to use electric tongs on wet hair, and if a hairspray or other fixative was applied to the hair the day before, this will greatly damage the hair structure. Hair will lose its shine, dry and brittle.

Separate the strand with a comb, grab it at the hair root with tongs, place between the tongs roller and the clamp, warm it up by moving the tongs along the entire length of the strand, and wind the hair on the tongs roller. Soak for 20-30 seconds and carefully pull the tongs out of the curl. In order not to burn the scalp, it is necessary to put a comb under the strand of hair that is being rolled up at the moment.

Perform this operation on all parts of the head where it is desirable to get curls.

Having received the curls, you can proceed to the final styling, applying, if necessary, blunting, combing, using hairpins, hairpins, etc. Fix the hairstyle with varnish.

It should be noted that everyday use of forceps is not recommended, as the hair is very dry and breakable.

Hair styling with curlers and clips lasts longer than all other styling.

Now there are curlers of the most various designs, different diameters, sizes and with different fastening methods. The hair is always curled perpendicular to the surface of the curler, pressing it tightly against the scalp. Curlers are wound from the middle of the head, from front to back.

The location of the curlers and clips, as well as the direction of their winding, affects the hairstyle pattern. There are many options for combining curlers, clips and straight hair when performing model hairstyles.

After winding it with curlers, dry the hair. It is not recommended to unwind the curlers immediately after drying; it is necessary to let the hair cool for 10-15 minutes.

Then you need to remove the curlers and comb the curls, starting from the back of the head and moving up, giving them their final shape. If necessary, fix the hairstyle with varnish.

Cold styling using a comb and fingers has been used for a very long time. This styling does not harm your hair.

Moisten hair with styling fixer and comb thoroughly from the forehead back. If there is a parting, then comb from the parting in the direction of hair distribution in the styling.

Insert the comb near the hairline with the forehead or parting and move the comb to the side. The first wave will turn out. Hold the comb in your right hand.

Using the index finger or the edge of the palm and the little finger of your left hand, press the half-wave hair along the comb to the scalp. Move the comb forward in your hair and move it in the opposite direction without removing your hand.

Hair Styling

Remove the left hand from the half-wave strand to be pressed and press the second half. One wave will turn out. Then again with your left hand press the half-wave hair along the comb to the scalp, move the comb to the side. You will get the third half-wave, and so on. Move the comb back and forth and press the hair with your hand until you get the required number of waves.

Having laid one section in waves, move on to another and so finish styling the hair of the entire head. To prevent the waves from shifting, they are fixed with clips and hairpins, but care must be taken not to leave hair breaks.

For very short hair on the back of the head, styling can be done in the form of flat rings. Fix the rings with one or two thin hairpins, clips, invisible hairpins, but so that hair does not break.

When styling hair in a hairstyle, the method of combing strands or dulling them is often used.

Combing hair is done over the entire width and thickness of the strand. The comb moves from the end of the strand to the roots. The teeth of the comb pierce the strand through. You can comb both sides of the strand by holding the end with your fingers.

Blunting is part of the fleece, as it is done only from the inside of the strand. The strand is pulled in the direction that it will take in the hair. The comb does not pierce the strand through, but whips it from the inside.

After dulling and combing, the strands can be smoothed with a brush or comb from the outside and laid on the head in the hair. Fix with varnish - or other means.

To carry out styling according to all the rules is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Each strand on the head is a living organism, a part of the human body. She needs careful handling, taking care of her health. Before you start styling, you need to prepare your hair for the procedure. Styling changes some of the physical properties of the hair, so it can be injured without preliminary preparation.

In many hairdressing salons in Paris, styling is preceded by several useful procedures. First, before washing the head, the master performs a scalp massage for 5-6 minutes. In this case, various means are used: aromatic oils, herbal infusions, squeezes from fruits. They nourish the hair and scalp, improve the structure of the strands, prevent hair from drying out, moisturize the skin, and increase its tone. When the skin relaxes and softens as much as possible, the head is wrapped in a warm towel and left for 10-15 minutes so that the hair roots absorb the medicinal components. Then conditioner is applied to the hair, the head is again wrapped in a warm towel for 5-10 minutes. After washing, the master must rinse the hair with a balm. Most of the balms contain various essential oils: jasmine, rosemary, almond, clove, rose, orange and others. As a result, the hair becomes shiny, smooth, silky, well hydrated, and the aroma emanating from it is not inferior to the most expensive perfume. And only after that they are thoroughly combed and the haircut or styling is started.

There are several conditions that must be met to prepare your hair for styling:

Never styling sore or weak hair;

After shampooing, be sure to use conditioners;

Styling on slightly damp strands, since hair saturated with moisture is more elastic and elastic.

And yet - from time to time the hair needs rest. Of course, a woman who carefully styles her hair even on weekends looks great, but you shouldn't forget about their health. They must rest from physical activity, that is, be in their natural form for at least one day.

Types of hair styling

Cold styling

Cold styling is one way to make your hair wavy. It can be used both as a stand-alone styling method and as an addition to a perm. This way of creating curls was invented by the French hairdresser Rene Rambeau. The scientific name for cold styling is hair undulation. These two concepts are identical.

Undulation is always done on wet hair, which is why it is often called wet styling. Soft, slightly curly, elastic strands lend themselves best to cold styling. Generally, bouncy and coarse hair creates problems during styling. They are stubborn, disobedient, therefore they are very reluctant to "agree" to change their natural form. But if the styling is done correctly, they will keep the given shape of the curls for a very long time.

Cold styling is all about giving your hair a wave. For this, various fixing agents are used that are applied to the hair. It is very important that the head is clean, therefore it must be thoroughly washed before styling. Grease builds up on dirty strands and prevents the hair from absorbing the fixer. The better to saturate the strands with a fixing compound, the longer they will hold their shape.

Installation with electric tongs

Styling your hair with an electric curler is perhaps the fastest way to create a hairstyle from beautiful, even curls. The advantage of this method is that it takes a matter of seconds to create each curl. But, unfortunately, using electric tongs does not make it possible to get long-lasting curls.

There are two types of electric pliers: external heating and internal heating.

In order to work with the former, you need a lot of experience. They are heated to the desired temperature, then dipped in oil. It creates a film on the working surface of the tongs, which protects the instrument itself and the hair from burning. The optimal heating temperature of the master is determined by the smell of metal.

The most common curling iron is the internal heating tongs. It is convenient and easy to use, so it is readily used even at home. The curling iron works from the network. If the tongs are of high quality, it is rather difficult to overheat them and, moreover, to burn them.

For the formation of corrugated strands, pliers are widely used - "corrugation". As a rule, such tongs have a set of nozzles, with which you can create corrugations of various shapes and sizes of bend.

There are probably few women who have never used electric pliers. Almost every home has a curling iron that you can use to quickly curl bangs or create some flirty curls. However, most women do not know that styling with any electric tongs should be done according to certain rules.

First, make sure your hair is clean and dry before styling. Some women find messy, shapeless strands to look better when styled with a curling iron.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Dirty, oily hair always looks messy, no matter how you style it.

Secondly, after curling, the hair must be moistened with a fixing agent. Do not apply the fixative just before laying. It will make the strands wet, and they can be damaged, since moisture will quickly evaporate from contact with the hot metal of the tongs. In addition, the pliers themselves can be damaged in this way.

Thirdly, in the process of styling, the hair must be separated with thin strands. Thick strands will not heat up well, and the shape of the curls will never turn out even and clear.

Styling on curlers

Styling with curlers is the most gentle curling method in terms of hair health. It injures the hair least of all, is easy to perform, so it is convenient to do it even at home. With the help of curlers, you can create curls of different directions, shapes and sizes: large, small, medium, vertical or horizontal. Another advantage of this type of curling is longer-lasting curls when compared to styling with electric tongs and a hairdryer.

Self-styling is most often done on dry or slightly damp hair without the use of a fixing agent. Professionals always put on curlers only wet strands moistened with a fixative. At the same time, different types of retainer are used to create curls of different shapes.

Currently, there are many varieties of curler shapes and sizes. Choosing their diameter, you must first determine what size and shape of curls you want to get. Small curls are created using thin spiral curlers, and large bobbins give large, elastic curls. The smaller the diameter of the curlers, the finer the curls will be. It is also important to remember that the larger the curlers, the less elastic the curls will turn out.

The exposure time of the curlers on the hair is of no small importance. To obtain soft waves, they are kept for several hours. To turn straight strands into tight, bouncy curls, keep the curlers on your hair much longer. However, the styling time can be shortened if the curled strands are dried with a hairdryer. It is advisable to use a hair dryer for drying only in extreme cases, as hot air can injure hair. It is best for hair health when it dries naturally.

When choosing the diameter of the curler, you should remember one little professional trick: after curling, each resulting curl will be approximately equal in size to half the diameter of the curler.

Combing styling

In the professional language of hairdressers, there is such a thing as bouffant or combing. This is the easiest way to style your hair and perhaps the oldest. People gave their hair additional volume by combing even when there were no electric tongs, curlers and hair dryers.

Combing is the whipping of a strand with a comb over the entire width and thickness. The convenience of this styling method lies in the fact that it is possible to comb the entire head, in individual strands or in those areas where additional volume is needed.

The scheme of the bouffant is very simple: a strand of 1 1.5 cm wide is separated, then it is pulled at a right angle to the head. At a height of 5-6 cm from the roots of the hair, a comb with frequent thin teeth is inserted into the strand and moves down. When the hand feels resistance, the comb is pulled out of the hair and reinserted into the strand 1-2 cm higher. These steps are repeated until the desired volume is reached.

Depending on the natural density of the hair, combing can be done weak or intense. The less frequent and thinner the hair, the more intense it should be.

It is very important to remember that in any hairstyle, with any hair texture, the ends of the strands should look natural. It is impossible to comb the ends of the strand strongly, otherwise they will cease to be mobile, and the hairstyle will resemble a low-quality wig. The strongest shaking should be done at the roots of the hair to raise the hair at the desired angle and create long-lasting volume.

And most importantly: combing weakened and damaged hair must be extremely careful. In no case should you forcefully jerk them with your hand or comb. The teeth of the comb should be smooth, without chipping. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage and even destruction of the surface layer of hair, which consists of millions of scales. It is recommended to comb only the healthy part of the strands at the roots.

A type of fleece is the blunting method. In principle, it is performed according to the same scheme, but the strands are not held perpendicular to the head, but at the angle at which they will lie in the finished hairstyle. The comb should not cover the entire thickness of the strand, but only its inner part. In other words, comb the strand from the side that will be closer to the head in the hair.

After brushing and dulling, the surface of the hairstyle may look a little tousled. This is easy to fix with a double bristle brush. Long bristles will gently smooth the top layer of your hair, while short bristles will prevent them from damaging the created fleece.

Hair styling with a hairdryer

Blowing your hair is a quick and very convenient way to style your hair. Since most often styling is carried out on damp or moistened hair with a fixative, they dry at the same time. This styling method is especially good for short strands. They are lightweight, easier to lift from the roots with a comb. Short hair is easier to change its natural position and shape.

In order for blow-dry styling to give a good result, your hair must be clean. Grease accumulates on dirty strands, which will not allow hair to lift from the roots. Such styling will be very short-lived, and the volume will be small. If the hair is washed immediately before styling, it is recommended to use a conditioner balm. It protects hair from static electricity build-up and drying out.

If the strands are moistened with a fixing agent before styling, they will quickly take the desired shape and preserve it for a long time. It is necessary to apply the fixative to the hair evenly, along its entire length. Especially carefully you need to soak the roots with the product.

When styling with a hairdryer, it is important to remember some simple rules.

First, it is advisable to use brushing - a round comb with artificial bristles. She gently lifts the strands, does not injure them.

Secondly, to create volume at the roots, drying must begin with them. For this, a so-called frame brush is used.

Thirdly, the most effective blow-dry will be when not too thick strands are separated. The thicker the strand, the longer it will take to dry. In addition, thick strands are rarely elastic.

Fourthly, the hair roots must be dried especially carefully. If after styling they remain under-dried, the finished hairstyle will lose volume very quickly. Determining whether the roots are well dried is simple: turn off the hairdryer, let the hair cool down a little, then feel the roots with your fingers. Poorly dried hair will feel cool to the touch.

To find the right shape and length of hair, you need to know what face shapes exist and what hairstyles are suitable for them.

There are three ways to determine the type of face and its shape. With the help of these techniques, a woman can easily figure out which face shape she has. And it's easy to find hairstyles that work for him.

Determining the shape of the face using a mirror

To do this, you need to take a washable marker or lipstick and stand at a distance of half a meter from the mirror. The light must necessarily fall from above, and not on the face. You need to carefully outline the contours of your face, starting from the chin. Then move on to the cheekbones and forehead.

After that, you can start analyzing the face: where is its widest part, how much cheekbones protrude, how wide is the forehead. Having determined these parameters "by eye", you can calculate your face type.

With a tailor's meter

First you need measure the cheekbones along the protruding parts. These parameters will correspond to the width of the cheeks;
The jaw width is measured like this: the centimeter should be applied just below the ear and brought to the middle of the chin. The resulting figure must be multiplied by "two";
The forehead is measured at its widest part: a measuring tape must be laid from one temple to another;
Face length: the centimeter is applied in the middle of the forehead and goes down to the most protruding point of the lower jaw.

The "four measurements" method

With its help, you can accurately determine the shape of the face and conclude which hairstyles are suitable for him.

How to take measurements:

Make the 1st measurement horizontal and draw along the upper part of the forehead;
2nd - along the upper border of the eyebrows;
The 3rd parameter is measured along the lips, at their highest point;
The 4th measurement is made vertically along the border of hair growth, through the nose and up to the lower jaw.

Face shapes are different and hairstyles for them also need to be chosen appropriate.

If you calculate your parameters correctly, you can achieve a perfectly created image.

In total, stylists and hairdressers identify 8 standard types.

Stylists identify eight standard face shapes. For each of them, certain types of hairstyles are recommended.

Standard face shapes

Oval face

This type is easily recognized by the sharp protruding cheekbones. Such faces are shaped like an egg, which is turned with the sharp part down. Usually, the forehead and jaw of the owners of this type of face are almost the same, the chin is slightly rounded. Sarah Jessica Parker is a classic example of this type.

Triangular face

This face type has almost the same width and length. But the forehead is the widest part of it. Sometimes there are varieties of this face, in which the forehead and cheekbones can be the same in width. Such a face ends with a pointed chin. A typical example of Legally Blonde's triangular face is Reese Witherspoon.

Diamond-shaped face

This type of face is a bit like an oval face. The only difference is that his chin is pointed.... And the forehead resembles a cone. Sophia Loren has such a face. The type of her American colleague "Catwoman" Halle Berry looks no less impressive. Madonna is also one of the owners of a diamond-shaped face.

Round face

The name of this type speaks for itself. The widest part of such a face is the cheekbones. But usually measurements in width and length are almost the same. Drew Berimore and Cameron Diaz are bright representatives of this type.

Rectangular face

A nearly perfect rectangle is achieved by straight lines along the hairline. The cheekbones are angular in shape, and the proportions of other parts of the face are the same. Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Heidi Klum - these universally recognized beauties have rectangular faces.

Square face

Representatives of this type have ideal facial proportions. Their forehead is usually wide, and the cheekbones are angular. Typical examples are Angelina Jolie and Selma Hayek.

Trapezoidal (pear-shaped) face

Face width slightly less than length. Downward it gradually narrows. The forehead is usually wide and the hairline is well defined and almost straight. Kelly Osbourne, Jennifer Aniston and Mini Driver all have this face type.

Heart-shaped face

It is believed that this type is the most feminine. The shape of the "heart" is emphasized by a special line of hair growth: it clearly shows the "check mark" that the hair forms.

This type of face is characterized by a wide forehead, narrow chin, and prominent cheekbones. Representatives of this type: Eva Longoria, Kim Basinger and Marilyn Monroe.

Stylists say that all face shapes are good in their own way, if you choose the right haircut and hairstyles for each of them, then you can visually correct the flaws that each person has.

How to choose the right hairstyle for your face shape - what else you need to know.

Makeup artists warn their clients: when changing the image, in no case should you be guided only by fashion trends.

The wrong hair color or haircut style can cause irreparable damage to the overall image.

It is no coincidence that experts have classified the main face shapes and selected hairstyles for them.

These are the main tasks that real professionals set themselves when working with a client:

We hide the flaws. There are no ideal faces. Not all hairstyles are suitable even for an oval face;
We emphasize the advantages... With the help of a haircut, you can hide imbalances in the face, and focus on the most attractive parts of it;
Avoiding extremes. Even the most regular facial features can be distorted as a result of improperly selected hair lengths and haircuts.

The choice of the correct image is influenced by several factors that the master must take into account:

Hair color. Light tones will make the face look wider. And darker shades will narrow it down significantly. Martisha, the main character from the movie The Addams Family, is a classic example. Long black hair visually lengthens an already narrow face;
Hair length... A short "hedgehog" can only be afforded by the owners of the perfectly correct head shape. A round head from such a haircut will look like a soccer ball. A narrow skull should not be framed with long hanging strands;
Hair structure. Coarse and curly hair will stand on end when cut short. And thin and light hair is better cut than pulling them at the back of the head.
Individual characteristics faces also need to be considered when choosing hairstyles and haircuts.
Hairstyle and makeup must match perfectly. A well-chosen make-up will complement the image and make facial imperfections less noticeable.

Stylists advise: before visiting a beauty salon, you need to critically look at yourself in the mirror, evaluate your merits and see the shortcomings

What haircuts are suitable for a round face

Haircuts for round faces and different hair lengths

This type needs visual lengthening. Since the width from the top of the forehead and the distance between the cheeks are the same, it is necessary to balance the proportions. This effect can be achieved on long to medium hair.

Cascading haircuts and large curls are suitable for a round type of face. If you do a short haircut, then it needs to be given maximum volume so that the hair looks larger.

An asymmetrical bob-square would look good on such a face. Its length should be well below the chin line, and the back of the head must be raised.

Hairstyles for a round face

With a round face, the classic square to the middle of the cheek is categorically contraindicated. It is better to completely abandon the straight parting and short bangs. A side parting will look perfect on such a head.

What haircuts are suitable for a square face

According to stylists, a square face is very expressive. But it requires a special approach.

To soften the harsh lines of the square, women need to choose haircuts that will soften the face.

The ideal option is a square, below the chin. But it should not be too bulky at the cheek line.

What haircut is suitable for a long face

For this type of face, you need to choose hairstyles and haircuts that will visually round it. Women of this type need to forget about long and absolutely straight hair, stylists say.

Bangs should be an obligatory element of a haircut for an elongated face. It can be anything: long, short, straight or beveled.

Hairstyles for a long face

The main goal is to divert attention from a too long face. For this type, various options for graduated and multi-layered haircuts are suitable. Graduated "bob" looks great

What haircut is suitable for an oval face

The oval face shape is considered ideal by hairdressers and stylists. All options for haircuts and styling are suitable for her.

How to choose a hairstyle for a woman with facial features.

With the help of hair length, color and volume, you can correct many "natural" facial imperfections.

Long nose

If nature has not rewarded with a neat nose, then smooth hair should be abandoned. Bulky haircuts will "divert" attention from this drawback.

If the daily hairstyle involves wearing a ponytail, then the hair cannot be completely pulled together with an elastic band. They need to be given a little volume at the face and behind. The only possible options for bangs are oblique and torn. If this part of the hairstyle is straight and thick, then it will only increase the nose.

For owners of a long nose, it is better to choose medium-length voluminous haircuts.

Sarah Jessica Parker is not at all shy about her rather big nose, just with the help of a properly selected image, she managed to turn this flaw into a clear advantage.

A short square with elongated strands and the most raised nape will also help to visually make the neck longer. If the hair is long, then it can be collected in a high "ponytail", or left loose over the shoulders.

Long neck

To balance the proportions and make a neck that is too long, you need to give up hair gathered in a “ponytail” or shaved nape. A cascading haircut will look perfect. Any hairstyle that covers the neck at least to the middle will visually "shorten" this part of the body.

Big facial features

Stylists advise women with large and expressive features to choose voluminous hairstyles. Smooth and too short haircuts "for a boy" are absolutely not suitable for such persons.

Volumetric squares or curls can visually reduce the proportions of the face. This effect can be achieved with the help of a properly selected highlight.

Small facial features

Owners of faces with small features, on the contrary, are contraindicated in voluminous hairstyles with large curls. Against the background of a shock of hair, the face will become completely invisible. Such women need to choose short hairstyles that reveal their face. The ears should be as open as possible.

Heavy chin

This natural flaw can be masked with the right bangs. It will distract attention from the heavy lower jaw. A square with a length below the chin is suitable. Hair in this case should be styled "to the face" and make the lower part of the hairstyle as lush as possible.

Flat face

In this case, stylists recommend not to be shy and completely open your face to the eyes of others, and focus on the hair behind. There is no need to try to hide a flat face with bangs, it will only highlight this flaw. For such a face, hairstyles with curls and a lush perm will go.

Each face is beautiful in its own way, and if a woman is unhappy with her image, then you need to choose the right hairstyle. Knowing what the shapes of faces are, and what hairstyles are suitable for them, you can completely change your image.

To reproduce this all at home, you will need the following care items:

curlers of different sizes:
rubber bands and harnesses, preferably not too stiff and elastic, otherwise it can damage your hair;
several types of combs and brushes;
sponge;
a plastic cap, terry towel, or other device that can create a greenhouse on your head after the procedure;
gloves so as not to get dirty;
measuring tank to know exactly the amount of applied chemicals;

two containers made of metal;
cotton wool or other material like;
chemical agent required for styling and curling;
means - a fixative in the form of a gel, mousse or varnish;
five percent vinegar.

As soon as all the tools presented above are available to you, we proceed directly to the procedure itself:

If you have very sensitive skin or have a reaction to any allergens, it makes sense to conduct a reaction of the purchased hair chemistry for allergies. To do this, you need to apply a little composition to the surface of the skin and watch the reaction. If the result is positive, it is better to refuse this remedy and use another.
Rinse your hair gently with detergent. You do not need to massage the skin.
Use a comb or a wide-toothed comb to comb the curls that are still wet.
The strands you have chosen must be wound on curlers of the appropriate size.
Spread on your roots with Vaseline.
Wear protective gloves and cover your shoulders with a towel.
Proceed as directed in the instructions for the chemical. Prepare the required composition according to the same instructions.
Apply the product to the pre-wound curlers.

From above, all this must be covered with a shower cap, a plastic bag or wrapped in a towel. To enhance the greenhouse effect, you can combine these species with each other. Remember that the longer the product is on your head, the stronger the perm.
Once you decide you have enough time, wash your hair with warm water. You do not need to remove the curlers.
Apply the fixing agent in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish.
After a couple of minutes, wash off the product with a special rinse balm.
Wait until the hair is completely dry. After that, you can remove the curlers.

Do not dry your hair with auxiliary products, let alone a hairdryer. This will only damage your strands and make them brittle and split. It is better to let the hair dry naturally by itself. In a similar way, the well-known corrugation is made in the salon.

The same, but for short hair

Observing all the secrets of hair styling, you will get it long-lasting. First, you need to wind all the strands with a styler or iron. This is done to create extra volume and help make the resulting short curls lighter than usual. Otherwise, the procedure is repeated according to the above steps.

There are only two ways:

hot method;
cold method.

Cold hair styling

Such styling has the following types:

We twist the hair in the form of waves using combs and our own fingers.
Laying in the form of rings, followed by fixation with pins.
Using curlers and papillotes.
The classic version with a hair dryer or iron. Works well if you have short, straight strands.

Hot styling

The salon mainly uses this method. It is done with an iron, tongs, curling iron, hair dryer and many other means. With such devices, you can straighten hair or, conversely, create elastic curls. This method is the most popular among the fair sex. Styling with a curl with an iron will last for a very long time, remaining stable and clean.

The meaning of this technique is to lay all the necessary short curls under the guise of spirals of various lengths and diameters. Part of the hair can be pulled back. Fixing the hair near the face should be done with all kinds of hairpins, knitting needles, hairpins or curlers.

The hairstyle will look especially sexy if you have long straight hair. With such curls, it is possible to achieve the effect of wet strands. You can do this by knowing the tips for styling your hair with "cold" products.

How is biocarving done?

This procedure takes place using a special active ingredient - cysterol. Cysterine is an amino acid that slightly changes the original shape of a medium-length curl, fixing it in a completely different position. Unlike many other techniques, such as bombing or corrugation, it does not affect the very structure of the hair in any way, and it leaves the hair on its own when washing after a few months.

We wind our curly hair with a T-shirt

Do they do that? And how! T-shirts can not only be worn, they can also be used to style your own hair. To do this unusual hair trick, you need to do the following:

Choose any styling product you like.
Remove any T-shirt from your wardrobe. It doesn't matter how long the sleeves are.
Wash your hair thoroughly and apply your choice of gel, mousse or foam to your hair. Hair should be slightly damp, but not wet. Otherwise, in the end, nothing will come of it.
Using a comb or comb with large, dense teeth, spread your strands to their full length.

Place the T-shirt on a bed, nightstand or any other flat surface.
Lower your head with your hair down. The hair should be in the center of the shirt.
The lower part of the T-shirt is wrapped around the head of hair, use the sleeves to fasten it at the back of the head and fold it back a little.
The top also covers the head and wraps around it.
You have several options for your choice: you can leave it all for only half an hour and get light curls, if for a few hours - the result will be stronger and longer. Leaving the T-shirt on your head overnight will give you long-term fixation on your medium-length curls.
Open the shirt the next morning or a couple of hours later and enjoy your new wavy curls near your face.

A men's haircut of medium length allows you to do the same for the stronger sex.

A little about the bombing and corrugation method

To brighten up all of your facial features, these two styles are perfect. This technique is done with a hair dryer or ironing; it will be useful to use a set of combs.

Know that it is necessary to do bombing or corrugation at room temperature, hair should not be strongly exposed to cold or hot air. Do not forget about protection with heat-resistant fluids for strands. When working with an iron or a hair dryer, do not bring the device too close, this can harm the scalp and face, not to mention discomfort during the process of shaping future hair.

Before starting, it is imperative that your hair is well washed and dried. Ideally, it should have a homogeneous structure. Hair should be completely straight and smooth, or curled with an iron. In the case of the bombing technique, it is necessary for the hairstyle to be perfectly flat, but at the same time create the effect of additional volume. It is best to wash your head half an hour before the start of all styling and curling procedures. It is better if the hair dries on its own. If you are in a hurry, you can do this with a hair dryer or iron. To add shine and brightness to the hair, it is better to rinse the hairstyle in a light solution of vinegar and water. After that, you should use a tool to create smooth and voluminous curls near the face.

Make-up is best applied from the middle. In this case, the styling will be long-term. If you need even more volume and firmness, it is better to rub in the product at the very roots, distributing it evenly along the entire length.

When choosing styling combs, pay attention to the material from which they are made. It is better if the material is wood with a soft type of teeth. It also does not hurt to purchase a fixing agent - varnish, foam or mousse.

Styling with an iron or hair dryer should be started with the strands that are below everything, as soon as the hair near the face is completely dry, the hair will need to be divided into separate zones and, alternately lifting each strand with a comb or comb, treat it with a curling iron or hairdryer. Moving from the occipital zone to the temporal zone, repeat the procedure with the rest of the curls. If there is a bang, it should also be given attention. As an additional decoration for a hairstyle, you can use hairpins - invisible or rhinestones. The final result is best secured with a medium to strong varnish.

When working in this style, remember: the main thing is not to start work when the hair is still wet, in this case the styling will quickly "fall apart", the same will happen if the hair is overloaded with cold styling products.

If your main task is to achieve a unique, sexy image in order to charm all the people around you, then transforming your hair is an effective and sure way to do this. This is especially true in our time, when you have at your disposal all sorts of methods and hair care products.
