Hairstyles in the style of Gatsby: ideas and tips for their implementation

In 2013, Baz Lurman’s The Great Gatsby film was released, making a revolution in style. The aesthetics of the magnificent 20s began to play with new colors and turned out to be relevant almost a century later. Gatsby parties, outfits, décor, design and, of course, hairstyles have received new recognition.

There are several clear, defining differences of this style. At the beginning of XX century, women turned to short haircuts, it was a revelation, trendy hairstyles seized the minds of ladies of high society and not only them. Nothing boyish, sporty and brutal: short haircuts suggested feminine styling, emphasis on facial features and elegant accessories. Therefore, if you have a short haircut, it doesn’t hurt to make an elegant classical style with your own hands that will set you apart from the crowd.

Other signs of Gatsby style are:

• side partings - they were emphasized in the hairstyle, they were distinguished by styling and not only;
• the waves are the most noticeable feature of the style, it is these ideal, obedient, clearly recorded waves in the beauties hairstyles that make the style recognizable;
• tight curls - no confusion, exquisite disheveled and deliberate naturalness, everything is tightly and strictly fixed, the hairstyle remained immaculate during the day;
• use of noticeable accessories - ribbons, hairpins, headbands, etc.

Women could wear their hair loose, but there was no naturalness in it, such as “combing and going.” Even loose hair clearly preserved specially created waves, which did not interfere with any wind or any active work.

If you try, you can, without the help of a specialist, make a Gatsby styling on hair of different lengths. Let's start with the average. For work will be useful: curling iron-tongs, a wooden comb, hair curlers, as well as an iron, clips.

How to do styling.

• Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo that enhances shine and silky hair.
• Dry your hair. Carefully comb them, distribute the means for thermal protection over the entire length.
• When the thermal protection is dry, heat the paddle. Curl the curls in one direction, not straightening curls with your hands. Pre-organize a clear side parting.
• Take a strong hold styling. Your task is to barely twist your curls with your fingers, put them together in one large part on one side. It turns out that the hair is thrown over one shoulder or tend to it.
• Take a headband with rhinestones, put it on his head, it should be about 2 cm above the eyebrows.

The whole point is in accessories - if you just leave the waves clearly fixed, it will be 30-40s, the golden age of Hollywood, yet less grotesque aesthetics. Because the hairstyle must be supported by a bright, catchy accessory, it does not matter whether you are doing styling for long hair or medium. On short hair, too, you can perform a gorgeous hairstyle in this aesthetics.

If you do not go out of fashion haircut bob, then go back 100 years ago in terms of appearance, you can even as well.Short haircuts look very different, if you make a styling in the style of Gatsby - they look more difficult, bright, even better emphasize facial features.

The actions are simple.

• Over the entire length of some more wet hair, apply a strong fixation foam. Another option is gel, styling will be with a wet effect, for an evening hairstyle this is not bad.
• Separate the hair with a clear side parting.
• When using triple curling or clamps, build on the curls of an S-shaped wave.
• The resulting fix varnish.

It remains only to supplement the hairstyle at your discretion: this styling is suitable headband with a feather, a large flower. Earrings should also be bright and self-sufficient. Makeup is recommended smoky eyes with a slight effect of lowered corners of the eyes.

Short bob or hair that has already grown below the shoulders lends itself well to the following styling. Hair, as in other recommendations, you need to wash (use shampoo with reflective inclusions), dry. Spread a reflective mousse over them along the entire length. Divide the curls on a clear side parting. To facilitate styling you need to use clips - they divide the hair into vertical tracks.

Then each strand is curled into curls with a curling iron (the occipital direction is used). Fix the curls with a clip, the hair should cool in this position. When curled will all curls, clips can be removed.

It is a little more difficult to make such a package, but there are much more options here: bundles and weaves, plaits and rollers are allowed.

The scheme of one of the styling.

• Wash and dry hair, apply special thermal protective agents on them.
• Separate the hair side parting.
• Take a few strands closer to the contour of the face. Secure them so that they do not interfere with other manipulations with the hair.
• All other curls curling curling in not the largest curls. Hair barely noticeably fluff, so that from the top down they become ever more magnificent, the top (top) should be smooth. Fix varnish.
• Strands that left "for later", using clamps to turn into waves. Subsequently, the curls with small curls are separated from the waves by a rim, silk ribbon, beads, or other decoration.

Many girls want to use Gatsby style hairstyles in a modern way. Yet with such bright accessories you can only appear at a party, but you want to do a beautiful haircut more often. In this sense, it is easier for short-haired girls: it won't take long to create waves.

If, however, we are talking about long hair, then their main mass can be hidden on the back of the head in a bun, and those curls that frame the face can be turned into waves with the help of clips.

For girls, choosing such a vivid image for some significant event, It is very important to find the appropriate accessories.

• Feathers. The cabaret style familiar to many is very appropriate here. Such jewelry is suitable for fluffy hair, feathers can be fixed on the side or choose a bezel with feathers in the center of the forehead.
• Satin ribbon. Mandatory with beads or stones, a simple satin ribbon without decor will look faded and not quite accompany the style.
• Clip in the form of a hat. Another option, not the most associative style, but still valid. You can attach it anywhere, but more often from the side.
• Cap-grid. This accessory almost completely covers the head, on the side of such a cap is almost always a shining appliqué.

From the preferred colors - black, white, milk, pearl, gray. Of course, the hairstyle can only be part of the look, and if everything else does not match the style, it will not look convincing. Therefore it is necessary to select everything in one ensemble: from shoes to pins.
