Some wise man once said that the new is the well-forgotten old. And he was absolutely right. After all, people now and then give preference to clothes, hairstyles, cars, furniture in retro style. Under the old interiors, apartments, restaurants and other rooms are decorated. Naturally, the echoes of modernity are felt in all this, but the idea remains old. The hairstyle “Wave” of retro style is one of those many things that girls choose to create the perfect image, although with a bias on the last century. Today, such styling looks new, extraordinary, they are distinguished by modern accents, but the idea is borrowed from bygone years.
The birth of undulation
With the advent of the twentieth century, significant changes began to occur in the world of fashion. They were greatly influenced by scientific discoveries and technological progress. Paul Poiret, a famous fashion designer from France, abolished corsets. And that in those days was considered great courage. Poiret also decided to make women's dresses a little shorter. Yes, these were not mini dresses, only ankles opened, but still. Shortened clothing was immediately reflected on short hair.
In France in 1922, the world saw the story "The Boy", written by Victor Margheritte. Immediately fashionable is the style of a girl-boy with an angular female figure. At the end of the 1920s, the “garzon” was modified into a more feminine styling: the hair was cut short and carefully curled, styling with magnificent waves. This was undulation, or, as it is called today, the hairstyle “Wave” (retro).
Undulation as it is
Retro hairstyle “Waves” from time to time returns to fashion. After all, styling with shafts that frame the face gives the lady a femininity that has been valued at all times.
There are two methods by which you can create retro waves. These are hot and cold ways. This type of styling will be considered the famous undulation, or “Marseilles wave”. The second name was given in honor of Marcel Gratot - the creator of the styling.
The ideal hairstyle “Wave” of the retro style is exactly obliged to imitate the shape of the shaft: the crest-trench and further similar alternation. Laying must be held without the use of clips. Mr. Grato created just such waves. But today the requirements for this hairstyle are not so strict.
The Marseille Wave
Retrograde are always at the peak of popularity. A retro-style hairstyle called Marseille Wave was relevant in the 1920s. This styling is perfect for creating an evening classic look and will show all surrounding people the excellent taste of its owner.
To create it, it is necessary to prepare curling irons with a large diameter, a frequent comb, thermal spray and hair spray, a hairpin.
So, first of all, you need to make a side part. Then we pin a wide strand of hair with a hairpin.
We process the entire hair with a heat-protective spray. With tweezers towards the face we wind curls. Try to make tight curls. Otherwise, the hairstyle “Wave” (retro) will not work.
After all the hair has been wound, they should be sprinkled with varnish, providing supresilic fixation. Then comb the hair with a frequent comb. The contours of future styling will become noticeable. Tight curls are gradually replaced by soft waves.
The tips of fully combed hair is recommended to tighten the bottom. The last step is to fix the hair with hairspray.
Cold retrov
The hairstyle of the retro “Wave” can be created using another method. For its construction, you will need to move a thin comb, which indicates the direction of the wave, in front of the index and middle fingers of the left hand. The resulting bend is fixed with your fingers.
Cold undulation is carried out on a thoroughly washed head. The tool for laying braids is applied gradually, with a special emphasis on the roots. Each hair from root to tip must be impregnated with such a composition.
After the fixative is applied, the hair is thoroughly combed with a thin comb. A parting is most suitable for cold wave generation. On the side of the head on which there is more hair, there should be from five waves, where there are less braids, from three.
Hot waves
Let's consider one more way how to make a hairstyle retro "Waves" by a hot method. To do this, you will definitely need hot tongs and a comb. Waves are made due to the gradual displacement of the forceps from the hair roots to their ends. But the forceps at this time should change their location: under the lock and above it.
So, we separate the lock of braids and comb it. We place the hot tongs near the roots so that under the lock there is a surface that heats up. We hold the curl in this position for several minutes, but do not forget to comb the remaining strand of braids in the direction of the next shaft.
The next wave is created by hot tongs, the heated surface of which is already located above the strand. The remaining waves are created in the same way as the two previous ones.
