Bandage Greek Hairstyle

It is important to remember that a truly Greek hairstyle will look if it is voluminous and slightly sloppy. This effect is achieved by pre-twisting the curlers and lightly combing the hair at the roots on the parietal part of the head. If braids and weaving are used, then these elements should also be airy. Strands of hair released from under a bandage in the face area look very elegant.

1. Comb the prepared hair a little and sprinkle with varnish.
2. Put a bandage over your hair.
3. Separate strands symmetrically, starting from the face, and carefully tuck them under the bandage.
4. When all the curls are tucked in, decide what you will do with the ends of the strands. You can leave it in the form of a roller at the back, or you can braid a volumetric braid - you get an unusual hairstyle with a Greek bandage. How to make a braid aerial? Symmetrically, starting from the head and heading to the end of the braid, use your fingers to extend the weaving loops.
5. At the end of the work, when the hairstyle with the Greek bandage is completely ready, (how to do, shown in the photo), fix it with hairpins and sprinkle with hair spray.
