Modern women are so self-sufficient and active that it cannot but affect the style of clothing, makeup and hairstyle. Tight "horse tails", smoothed to a mirror shine of a square, "pixies" with sharp temples characterize the lady as purposeful, serious and strong personalities. And men meanwhile yearn for touching, tender and vulnerable nymphs. Changing your lifestyle and character is not easy at all, but changing a woman’s everyday styling to a gentle hairstyle is affordable for any woman. We learn how to create a gentle and romantic look, regardless of the original hair length.
Signs of a romantic hairstyle
The fashion of the 19th century, the era of empire and romanticism, was taken as the basis for actual tender romantic hairstyles. Like everything that characterizes this stylistic trend, hairstyles do not have geometric and strict lines. The main sign of a gentle feminine hairstyle is curls and waves. Hair can remain loose, slightly chopped, or collected in a tall but fairly light bun.
Another element often found in romantic styles is weaving and plaits. In the twentieth century, the free 70s can be taken as a standard for such images. Remember the images of hippie girls with loose and disheveled curls, thin pigtails on the temples and flowers in the hairstyle? Why not romance?
Let's consider in more detail how to make gentle hairstyles for every day.
Locks
Let's start with the basics of a gentle hairstyle - curls. The last few years, light, slightly careless curls have been in fashion. You can create them in several ways.
- The first and most famous way to create curls is to curl locks on curling irons. For a light, airy hairstyle, use a medium or large diameter brush. It depends on the length of the hair and the ability of the strands to keep the curl. If the hair is naturally thick and straight, it is better to take tongs of medium diameter, otherwise the curls will quickly open. Soft fluffy strands can be curled with a curling iron of a larger diameter. Twist the strands in different directions (both to the face and from the face), so the hairstyle will look natural and very gentle. When the curls are ready, beat the hair with your fingers and spray the lacquer with light fixation.
- The second way - a curler on a thermal curler. The curl is very light, but voluminous at the root. Preheated curlers are wound on dry, clean strands. After 10-15 minutes, the curls will be ready.
- Waving on the irons. Another simple and very quick way to create a delicate hairstyle. Hair styling is done on clean, dried hair. Do not forget to apply a heat-protective agent to the strands - spray or cream before drying. Clamp tightly, but not too tightly, a strand of hair between the sheets of irons at the root or closer to the middle. Then scroll the irons around its axis, gradually descending to the end of the strand. The wider the selected strand, the easier the curl will be. Fluff the curls with your fingers and fix with varnish.
The waves
And how to make a wave hairstyle? There are also several options.
- Waves can be created from curled hair. To do this, gently comb the hair from the roots to the ends with a comb with rare teeth or a brush with soft bristles.
- Another way will help you wake up with light “beach” waves. Apply to a damp, towel-dried strand a spray of sea salt or styling mousse for easy fixation. Braid two "spikelets" and fix with soft rubber bands. After complete drying, loosen the braids and lightly beat the waves with your fingers.
- In addition to braids, harnesses will help to make waves. To do this, you need to collect hair in two high tails and pull them with elastic bands. The higher the tails are, the more voluminous the hair will be at the root. Twist the strands into tight braids, wrap them around the elastic and fix the ends with invisibility.
Hairstyles for long hair
Romantic hairstyles for long hair can be done on the basis of light curls or waves. To start, curl your hair in one of the above ways, based on the resulting texture, you can create some simple, but very beautiful hairstyles.
- Scythe. Gather your hair in a low ponytail. Wrap the elastic in a thin strand and fix it invisible from the inside. Braid a light braid of three or two (“fish tail”) strands. Fluff it slightly, stretching the weaving with your fingers. A few thin strands can be released from the face, this will give the hairstyle romance and tenderness.
- Weaving element. Make a side part on the side where the hair turned out more, braid a light pigtail along the face . Fluff it and stab it with invisibility behind the ear.
- "Malvinka." The long-forgotten “little girl” is back in fashion. Gather the parietal part in a high tail and fix it with an elastic band. Gently comb the resulting tail over the entire length of the comb and twist it around the elastic to make a light, slightly sloppy bunch. Secure with studs or invisible. Leave the rest of the hair loose.
These styling can be done both for yourself and your daughter or niece. When doing hairstyles for girls, pay special attention to thermal protective products and styling with a minimum alcohol content.
Hairstyles for medium and short hair
Delicate hairstyles can be done not only on long hair. Medium-long hair that has the shape of a bob or bean can also be curled with a curler or curler. Pre-apply mousse of medium fixation or spray with sea salt to clean, damp hair, blow dry your hair at random, and then make light curls. Lower your head and shred the hair with your fingers. Apply hairspray to the roots.
In order to give the hairstyle a touch of romance, divide the curled hair into a parting. The side on which the hair mass is less, comb smoothly and stab with invisibility behind the ear.
You can make a shorter haircut more tender by laying your bangs on one side. Asymmetric lines in the styling give facial features softness, and the image as a whole is romantic. The whiskey combed over the ears makes the hairstyle childish and touching. Place the temporal areas with wax or styling paste.
Hair accessories
Romantic hairstyles can be emphasized with a suitable accessory. Flowers are most suitable for this. It can be a comb studded with small buds, a thin headband with beads or a hairpin with large flowers. A thin ribbon or silk scarf can be woven into the braid. Hairstyles for girls can be decorated with thin multi-colored rubber bands.
