There are situations when you just need to look elegant, but unfortunately there is no time at all. Or wanted to find an alternative to everyday styling. In this case, hairstyles created with the help of a donut for the hair - ideal.
What is a bagel?
A bagel for hair is a ring made of sponge, foam rubber or other soft material. There are varieties of this device. For example, a roller, which is a soft elongated segment, made of the same materials, as a result, it also coils into a ring, forming the same bagel.
As you can understand, the difference when using a donut, roller or other varieties of these items is small, and often depends on what is more convenient for you to use.
Creating hairstyles with these items is a fairly simple process, which, however, may cause difficulties for inexperienced people. You do not need to be afraid of this, leaving the case halfway down - when you put your hand in, the difficulties will be much less, or will not remain at all.
Varieties
As already mentioned, a bagel has several varieties. The main types of beams vary in size - large, medium and small.
Classical
The most common soft donut. It can be made of any soft material. It has 3 sizes - small (up to 7 centimeters), medium (from 7 to 12 centimeters) and large (from 10 to 20 centimeters and more).
Classification of sizes is taken into account when choosing a beam - for example, a big bagel is unlikely to be used on short thin hair. Consider this when buying a bagel.
And also the final volume and the type of hairstyle will depend on the width of the donut.
The diameter of the roller will also determine how tightly it fits to the head and how firmly it is held in the hairstyle. The larger the ring where you want to miss the hair, the weaker the fixation will be, and vice versa, the smaller the ring, the closer the hair will be pressed together, and the stronger they will press the bagel to the head, fixing it much stronger.
Rollers (or classic bagels, depending on what you prefer) have many colors. The most natural are shades of yellow, brown and black. In general, you can find a bagel, which in color will not differ from your native hair color.
With scallop
Most often with a comb there are usual rollers, which allow not only to create volume, but also to fix more tightly on the hair. In some cases, such rollers can curl into a ring, forming a classic bagel, but they need to be found in specialized stores.
With hair
Bagels with hair are an excellent option for situations where natural hair is not enough or barely enough to hide the base of the beam. Bagels of this type on top of the main soft material are covered with artificial hair that can be matched to your natural color. This type of donut can also be used to create complex hairstyles, when it is necessary not only to lift a part of the hair, but also leave enough to create a fluffy lower part (for example, loose curls).
If you are going to use a bagel with hair, then you need to stock up in advance with a sufficient number of invisible hairpins.
Sophist Twist
The material is very similar to the classic bagel. Often accessories are made of the same material. They have the shape of an ordinary roller, but on both sides there are fasteners that help to form a roller into a ring, that is, into a usual bagel shape. First, you wind the hair on a straight roller, and only then shape the hair together with the beam into a ring.
For some, this method is more convenient, so in some cases a twist sophist is preferable.
There is a kind of rollers that have no fasteners, allowing to connect the roller into a full-fledged bagel. In this case, the desired shape is given with the help of invisible hairpins.
But this has its advantages, for example, if you wish, instead of the usual bundle, you can braid the bundle in the form of a heart.
One of the features of using the sophist twist is that you can simply wind the opened accessory on your hair starting from the tips and going up to the crown, and then fasten the roller and fix it with invisible hair.
There are more variants of bagels of various forms, so you can definitely find what you like.
How to make a beautiful bunch?
As in any business, there are some tricks with which you can greatly simplify your life, and the use of useful tips in practice will help to collect a beautiful bundle on your head with minimal time, nerves and effort.
Step by step instructions will always be the same:
- tie the most accurate tail without roosters;
- put a cushion on the tail, placing it as close as possible to the head;
- evenly distribute hair over the entire area of the roller;
- tuck hair under the roller.
The difference in creating the correct beam will depend only on the length of the hair.
Remember that we are putting a classic bagel, and if you are interested in other types of bun or other hairstyles using a bagel, then you can always bring them to life.
Remember that if you are lucky, and you are the owner of frequent small curls, then for some time you will have to get rid of them, because the beam involves either straight hair or light large curls, and small curls will stand out from the overall composition of hair, breaking her. Yes, and remove all strands under a bagel will be difficult, and difficulties may arise in the early stages of creating hairstyles. Fortunately, if you dreamed of making a bundle, you can always use a hair straightener and for some time get straight hair that can be easily braided.
On short hair
On short hair, braiding a voluminous bundle will be quite problematic (but you can ask for help from a bagel with hair and stealth). The minimum hair length at which, in general, it is possible to twist a bagel hairstyle is the length at which you can tie a tail, since the tail is the basis for a hairstyle. If you need to create as much volume as possible, then before embarking on a hairstyle, you must curl your hair into curls.
The principle of creating a beam on short hair will be the same as for any other length. There are only recommendations. For example, a high tail at such a length is inappropriate, since regrown strands that do not have enough length to enter into a full-fledged tail will break out of the hairstyle and spoil its overall look and aesthetic impression.
There may be difficulties at the stage of “hiding” the tips under the roller. In this case, it is necessary to straighten each strand separately and as carefully as possible, and apply an additional portion of any styling agent to the tips.
If the hair is too thin, and you are afraid that the hairstyle will fall apart, then use the invisible to fix the beam to the head, and sprinkle the varnish on the already finished hairstyle several times.
On medium hair
Medium and long hair can be very thick, and if it only adds volume to short hair, in this case it can only add unnecessary complications. To make your hair lightly fluffed, then do your haircut either on the second day after shampooing (but make sure that the finished hairstyle does not look greasy and unkempt!). Or sprinkle the hair lightly with water to reduce the magnetism of the hair to hands and other objects.
At this length, you can already tie the tail-base at any level, even at the level of the “ideal tail” (calculated using the lines extending from the cheekbones upwards and can be placed on the crown) or high horse tail.
If the length of the hair is still not enough to mask the roller, you can gently tousle the strands so that the hairstyle takes on a more natural look.
Some can wrap a strand in a bagel only once, and then the logical question arises - what to do with the rest of the length. In this case, it is necessary to spin the hair through a bagel until either there is no free length, or until there is a small tip that is easy to hide under the beam.
On long
With the help of long hair and donut are created real works of art. If you have rather long, even if thin hair, you can choose any location for the hairstyle - at the crown, side, lower or higher than usual. To do this, simply pre-braid all the hair in the tail in the place in which you only see fit.
Long hair, as well as medium hair, can sometimes be too thickly poured, magnetised and tangled, which will undoubtedly interfere with the creation of the hairstyle. In this case, you should slightly moisten them with plain water, any spray or hair conditioner.
Due to the fact that the hair is too much, the hairstyle can be very heavy, and some strands may start to fall out, giving the hairstyle a too disheveled look. Sometimes invisible people do not save. Do not be upset! When you’ve already masked a bagel and removed all your hair, just put on another thin elastic band on top. She will not be evident, but will hold her hair tightly and will not allow her hair to fall apart.
In general, to create any hairstyle, it is recommended to use only new and unstretched elastic bands, and those that hold too weak should be left for everyday home tail.
If you are the owner of long, but thin hair, and want to give your hair even more volume, you can carefully pull the strands out of the ready-made bundle, while walking in a circle, so as not to violate the general symmetry of the hairstyle.
With thick hair, it often happens that the hairstyle is too heavy, or the hair is too much, and they simply do not fit under a bagel. In such situations, you can select a separate strand that will cover the hair in a circle, forming an additional circle.
You can simply wrap the strand around the beam, or you can braid it with a braid, a pigtail of any kind, or a fish tail.
How to decorate?
To decorate the beam, created using a donut, can be different. It will depend on the place you are going to visit, the nature of the event, as well as your desire and mood.
The main accessories suitable for this hairstyle are headbands or hairpins that will be lost in the total mass, so you need to take hairpins with large bright tips in the form of beads, flowers or pearls. But you can use anything, anything you see fit.
One of the decorations of the finished hairstyle is your own curls. You can curl your hair slightly beforehand, and then pull it out a little from the bun, which will give a slight carelessness and immediate charm to your image.
There are also very festive types of bunches, in which different types of braids seem to be woven into the main part of the hairstyle. They are a little harder to do, but if you fill your hand, you can create real masterpieces on your head. In addition, in such hairstyles you can gently weave colored ribbons, which will give your hairstyle unusual.
If you need a hairstyle for a festive event, then you can beat the bun with a tiara or metal rim, decorated with stones or metal patterns and casting.Thin metal headbands, decorated with rhinestones, look very nice on the hair.
Their only drawback is that they can be heavy, but they can always be easily removed without damaging the hairstyle.
Studs do not have such an advantage, and if you pull the studs out of the beam, you will do it at your own peril and risk.
A rather popular decoration on a sleek bundle - hairpins with large ornaments (for example, in the form of flowers, stars, animals, and other objects, the options are too diverse to even list most of them). Smooth hair and a bright hairpin, sparkling in the sun - and you get a beautiful image.
Hairstyles that can be created with the help of a donut are very practical and easy to create, which gives a huge advantage over complex hairstyles, the creation of which can take more than one hour. Bagel can give hair volume, easily combined with a wide variety of accessories, suitable for almost any event. This hairstyle can be quickly knotted, if you suddenly need an unexpected change of image. Simple bagel hairstyles win the hearts of more and more people, which is not surprising.
