Bezel

Loose hair with a pigtail edging is a hairstyle that will never go out of style. With this styling, you will effectively look both in your favorite jeans and in an elegant dress. How to braid:

1. Comb hair well, peel one lock over your ear. It is better to collect the rest of the hair pile and fix it with an elastic band or a hair clip so as not to interfere.
2. It is better to braid the selected strand using the “French” method. To do this, divide the curl into three identical parts and create a braid with the addition of strands from the main pile of hair. At the same time, you should not try to twist the strands too tight, because the "light" braid will look more voluminous.
3. We fix the resulting hairstyle with an invisible or comfortable rubber band.

If desired, such a styling can be decorated with beautiful hairpins with beads or pearls or a spectacular bow.

Simple bezel, or Greek weaving

To create such a styling will require a minimum of effort and time, and in return you will get a fashionable hairstyle in the style of boho. To do this, separate a curl behind each ear and weave two simple spikelets.

3. Braid a tight pigtail in the French way to the level of the neck.
4. Fix the obtained braid on the back of your head with the help of invisibles located perpendicularly.
5. Lightly curl your hair with an iron or curling iron.

Waterfall weave

Loose hair with a pigtail at the back is a very popular styling in recent years. To create it, you will need some skills, so if you want to create a similar styling yourself, then first practice on other people's hair.

Weaving instruction:

1. Comb your hair well.
2. Separate your hair with a side part.
3. Take a small curl on one side and divide it into three parts.
4. Start the weaving process, and for this, direct the upper strand to the center, after that transfer the lower part there.
5. The next curl, which should be woven into a braid, must be left, and instead of it, separate a new strand from above and insert it into the pigtail.
6. This should be done until the middle of the head. In order not to lose the endings, you can continue weaving in the usual way. The principle of creating a "waterfall" is that the upper curls are intertwined with the capture of new strands, and the lower ones remain free.
7. Start weaving on the other side.
8. Once you reach the middle of the head, fasten the two braids together with invisible ones. If you want to hide the connection, then decorate the hairstyle with a hairpin in the form of a flower or bow.

Combed hair

There are situations in which you need to look perfect, but there is no time left for weaving a braid or creating another hairstyle. In this case, a stylish alternative will be a stylish pile on the loose hair. To create such a hairstyle you will need ten minutes of free time and a minimum of effort.

1. Washed hair is well dried with a hairdryer.
2. Lubricate the curls with a thermal protective agent and slightly twist the ends with the help of a curling iron.
3. We separate a small lock on the top and fix it with clamps.
4. Immediately after this curl we form a pile.
5. We release the lock from the clamp and lay it on top.
6. We throw the whole pile of hair on the left side.
7. We fix the rear curls with the help of invisibility.

In order for the hairstyle to retain its shape for a maximum time, sprinkle the final result with varnish or other means for fixing. Delicate romantic styling is ready.
