Beautiful and well-groomed hair is the decoration of every lady. However, sometimes simple styling is not enough, so often for special holiday occasions you should make a beautiful and neat hairstyle. Thus, a snail hairstyle, which is widespread and enjoys love among the fair sex, with luxurious curls, will be an excellent option.
Features
Laconic and aristocratic snail hairstyle came to us from the atmospheric country - France. There, girls and women began to apply this method of weaving hair 100 years ago. However, French ladies are not the first to invent the snail. Many thousands of years ago, the ancient Greek ladies wore an analogue of modern hairstyle.
Currently, there is no universal and only acceptable way to create a snail. - modern women of fashion, as well as specialists in hairdressing have invented a large number of variations and variations of the classic hairstyle. One thing remains unchanged: whatever snail option you choose, this hairstyle will always look feminine and advantageous.
Often from the TV screens and pages of fashion magazines you can see the snail hairstyle, which is located on the head of the outstanding artists, singers and models.
Step-by-step instruction
Before embarking on the direct creation of hair, you need to prepare the necessary tools. So, you will need:
- hairbrush massage type;
- comb comb;
- studs;
- invisible hairpins;
- clamps;
- hair styling product (it can be a foam, mousse, gel, varnish, etc.);
- accessories (jewelry should be selected depending on your overall image and the occasion in which you make a festive hairstyle).
In addition to preparing the tools, you need to pay attention to the hair itself. The head should be washed and then dried thoroughly (and it is not recommended to use a hairdryer, if possible and with time) and comb it with a massage brush. Also during the washing and drying of hair, you can apply a mask or conditioner to your hair, suitable for your hair type and improving their overall condition.
After the preparatory stage is over, you should start weaving.
At the moment there are several varieties of snails, but only the most popular ones will be considered step by step.
Classic
First of all, you need to comb your hair back (if you wear a bang or you want to give a flirty hairstyle, then at this very moment you need to release the desired strands). For convenience, hair that will not be collected in the hair, can be fastened with a clip.
Now all the hair must be thrown on one side of the head (of your choice). At this moment of weaving it is important to smoothly comb the hair, because loose strands can spoil the hairstyle. In order to make the hair as neat as possible, stylists recommend combing using foams, gels and mousses.
Next, you need hair using stealth or hairpins (they must be placed in an upright position) to fasten in the middle of your head. To do this, you need to use two mirrors to be able to observe the process and control it.
The part of the hair that remained free (unsecured by invisible hairpins or hairpins) must be twisted with a braid and fastened in the opposite direction over the hairpins to hide them. The end of the harness must also be threaded inside the cochlea and fastened with pins.
Now proceed to the laying of bangs and strands released (to create a romantic image you can curl them). Also, at the end of the styling, do not forget to spray the hair with lacquer for fixation.
With weaving
The second popular option is a snail with weaving. This variety is more difficult to perform, however, and looks more impressive. Most often, a snail with weaving is done on the hair of young fashionistas - the hairstyle looks original and perky.
So, after all the preparatory stages have been completed (they are similar to the steps described above), the hair should be divided into several sectors, separately highlighting the round strand on the crown of the head itself. Now this strand needs to be divided into 3 smaller strands and start to weave a braid with a braid on the outside (the process is similar to the process of weaving the spikelet, only in our case the braid is done not from the inside, but from the outside). Weaving need to make a spiral until you do not weave into the snail all the hair of a young princess. The edge of the braid must be secured with a rubber band and thread under the hairstyle to hide it.
At the final stage, you can decorate your head with ribbons, hairpins, hats and other accessories, as well as fix weaving varnish.
Who is suitable?
It is believed that this type of hair styling, being traditional, will suit almost any woman (this applies to age, social status, lifestyle and profession). Nevertheless, most often in a similar way their hair styled businesswoman and girls gathering for a solemn event. Hair stylists also identify other categories of girls who will like this hairstyle:
- adult women (hairstyle will add charm and efficiency);
- young girls (snail will give femininity and grace, suitable for evening out);
- little girls (styling will look fun and perky if you add ribbons in the netting or decorate your hair with bright hairpins and invisible hair).
In addition, the possibility of styling hair in a snail hairstyle does not depend on the type of your curls - in any case, it will be possible to choose a stylish alternative. So, on straight hair you can make a smooth and aristocratic styling, on curls - careless and original. Also, this hairstyle is suitable for thin or, conversely, thick hair. There are almost no restrictions.
The only nuance that is recommended to take into account - the length of the hair.
It is impossible to make a snail on short haircuts, only long curls or medium-length hair are suitable for such styling.
An important advantage of a hairstyle is that you can weave it yourself.
