Hair care before styling

Hair from roots to tips are composed of tiny keratin scales, invisible to the eye.

Keratin is a strong protein that is part of the horny derivatives of the skin (hair, nails). Like any other, it collapses under the influence of high temperatures.

First of all, wash your hair, because without it it is impossible to create volume and achieve perfect styling.

If your hair will be exposed to the heat of a curling iron, hair dryer, straightener or similar devices during styling, use hair protection products. Masks, mousses, foams, lotions, balms, sprays - each product is good in its own way and provides protection for a certain type of styling.

The conditioner will help your curls maintain optimal hydration, maintain volume and freshness, and also get rid of static electricity.

The balm conditioner is similar in properties to the previous remedy. It envelops the hair with an invisible film, providing easy combing, as well as replenishment of beneficial substances, thanks to the plant extracts contained in it. The product is kept on the hair for 2-3 minutes, after which it is washed off.

Balm, as a rule, is enriched with essential oils, various extracts, proteins, proteins. It provides comprehensive care, nourishes, moisturizes, softens hair, stimulates their growth.

All these products are applied to clean, damp hair for a while, after which they are washed off.

When washing the head, the hair scales “open”, exposing the base - the cortex. Be sure to wait until your hair is only slightly damp. The scales will “close”, with hot styling, moisture and natural grease will remain

Laying can be chemical (long-term), cold and hot. The first method is used mainly by professionals in hairdressing and beauty salons. The second involves the use of styling products without further fixing under the influence of high temperatures. The last method is the most popular among modern women, as it is the easiest and fastest.

Cold hair styling

This method of creating hairstyles has been known for a very long time. Its main advantage is the absence of high temperatures, chemical compositions, and, consequently, damage to the hair during the formation of styling. The main disadvantage of this method is the large amount of time spent on its implementation. Most of all, this styling is suitable for soft, wavy or slightly curly hair. It can be performed using various types of curlers, clips, a special mesh.

Apply styling product to clean, damp hair, evenly distribute it with a comb along the entire length. A good home fix is ​​also a decoction of flaxseed. Pour half a glass of water 1 tsp. of this product and boil for 20 minutes.

The principle of creating curls with curlers is always the same. They are applied to the end of the strand from below and wound up to a certain height, depending on the length of the hair and the desired result. Having formed a cold styling, use a special mesh. It will firmly fix the created pattern.

Remove the mesh after the hair is dry.

One of the options for a future hairstyle is styling with clips - “retro waves”. Create a straight parting, moving it from the middle of the head by about 5 cm. Take a large comb with rare teeth. Place it parallel to the parting at a distance of 2-3 cm from it on the larger side. Move the comb towards the back of the head a couple of centimeters, remove it, fixing this place with a clip. This is the first wave.

Place the comb next to the clip also parallel to the parting. Move another couple of cm to the side and towards the face. Secure with a clip from the back of the head. This is the second (protruding) wave. Continue their formation, first on one side, then on the other side. If the hairstyle is formed on short or medium length hair, then it can be completed by creating curls at the ends. To do this, form rings by fixing them with clamps. Gather the ends of long hair beautifully into a bun or knot at the back of the head. Wait until it dries completely, remove the clips, if necessary, gently run the comb over the curls a couple of times.

Hot hair styling

To achieve the best effect when creating hot styling, use fixatives with thermal protection.

Hair has two important properties: hygroscopicity - the ability to absorb moisture and elasticity - the ability to change shape under the influence of heat. On this last property - elasticity - the curling of hair is based. Under the influence of hot tongs, moisture evaporates, and the hair takes the form that the master gives them.

The stronger the heating of the tongs, the more moisture is removed from the hair and the stronger the curl is. But when curling, the master must be very careful not to overheat the tongs so as not to burn the hair.

Hot tongs can create deep and beautiful waves, you can curl the hair of the head, beard and mustache.

To learn hot curling techniques, you need to have locks of hair or wigs. The strand or wig should be firmly attached to a blank, a soft pillow, or an exercise board. When training in cold curling, the master's fingers press and hold the strand, and in hot curling, the strand is always pulled back with tongs. Therefore, wigs are put on blanks, strengthening tightly from all sides. Then the blanks are put on racks - tripod or desktop (Fig. 88).

Curlers for male head hair are used in different numbers, as the hair comes in different lengths and qualities. It is necessary to have one pair of thin tongs and two tongs of grades C and D, since when creating a wave they must be heated alternately.

The study of curling techniques on hair products begins with pulling hair and curling curls, and then proceeds to creating a wave on a strand of hair.

Working with electric tongs

Hair styling with tongs

In order to learn how to perfectly master the curling iron, long systematic training is necessary. The master must be able to properly hold the tongs in his hand, as well as quickly and easily turn them in the palm of his hand both clockwise and counterclockwise while simultaneously squeezing and unclenching the working parts.

It is necessary to hold the tongs with the right hand, and the handle of the tongs lies in the palm of your hand, being placed between the thumb and forefinger. The working part of the forceps should be located on the side of the thumb and forefinger.

If you need to turn the forceps clockwise, they are placed in their original position in the right hand and begin to turn with the entire right hand.

So, it is necessary to master the techniques of using tongs so that you can easily, effortlessly turn the tongs in any direction, leaving the working part closed, and also open and close them simultaneously with the turns.

There are two types of tongs: electric tongs, which do not require additional heating, and Marseille tongs, which require additional heating.

Electric tongs are used only to create curls and differ in diameter. Currently, there are electric tongs of various shapes.

The triangular curling iron has a triangular-shaped clip that allows you to create curls with a sharp crease and leave the hair straight at the ends.

Spiral tongs are equipped with a metal spiral that wraps around the barrel of the tongs and prevents curls from tangling.

Zigzag tongs allow you to get clearly defined curls with broken ends.

Wavemaker tongs are similar to regular tongs, but their heating plates are grooved, allowing you to get steep waves of a certain width.

Straighteners with flat heating plates.

Marseille tongs, designed to perform waves and curls, are more versatile.

They consist of three parts: a roller handle, a groove handle and a fastening pin. The pin divides the tongs into working blades and handles.

Working blades of tongs are made of heat-intensive alloys that retain heat for a long time. Handles are made of alloys that do not conduct heat.

Before starting work, a piece of paper is used to determine the heating temperature of the tongs, which is clamped between the canvases. If a clear mark remains on the paper, but its color has not changed, the tongs are ready to work, but if the color of the paper under the working canvases has changed, the tongs must be cooled.

The tongs are held in the right hand during operation, while the groove handle is at the bottom, and the roller handle is at the top. The thumb covers the handle-gutter; index, middle and nameless cover the handle-roller; the little finger opens the tongs. See annex 2

A) Hair styling in the "eight" ("half-eight")

Laying curls in the "Eight" method

To curl your hair into curls using the figure-eight method, you need a hair length of at least 20 cm. The hair is carefully combed until the teeth of the comb begin to pass freely from the base to the ends of the strand. After that, it is necessary to determine the number of curls and their location on the strand.

A strand of hair is taken in the left hand. Forceps heated to the desired temperature are brought to the strand. The groove of the forceps can be both above and below, depending on which direction the curl is curled. If the curl is twisted in the "down" way, then the groove is located on top, and the roller is on the bottom.

Just as when curling hair in the "down" way, then they grab the strand with the working part of the tongs, turning them halfway towards themselves. Immediately it is necessary to make a full turn with the tongs, stopping them in such a position that the roller is turned towards the base of the strand. With your left hand at this moment, you need to slightly pull a strand of hair.

After that, the curl is processed in the same way as when curling in the "down" way.

When the tongs begin to turn in the right hand, with the left hand they bring the ends of the hair down on the other side of the strand, making it like a figure eight.

It turns out that if at the first turn of the forceps the ends of the hair, wrapping around them, were on the left side of the strand, then at the second turn they will be on the right. With each new turn of the forceps, the ends of the hair change their position, being either on the left or on the right relative to the twisted strand.

With this method of curling, the ends of the hair are constantly in the middle part of the working surfaces of the tongs, which provides the most favorable conditions for twisting them. The ends of the curl are processed in the same way as they were done with other methods of curling curls.

The figure-eight curling method can be performed by holding the tongs vertically, and the hair is wound around them in a spiral manner.

Curls are made out only after they have completely cooled down. First, the curl is combed with a comb with rare teeth, and then with frequent ones.

B) Descent curls

Curling hair in curls in the "down" way is performed as follows. A fourth part is separated from the total mass of hair. This is done in this way: first, the entire strand is divided into two parts in width, then one of the halves is divided again in half, but not in width, but in thickness. The first top curl should be curled from the outer layer of hair. When curling hair in curls in the "down" way, the roller of the tongs is located at the bottom, and the groove is at the top. In this position, the forceps are brought to the base of the strand.

At the moment the strands of hair are captured by the working part of the tongs, they must be turned halfway towards you. With this position of the tongs, the strand will not break at the place where it is gripped by the tongs, i.e. the edge of the groove of the tongs will not leave a transverse mark on the strand. It must be remembered that this position of the tongs during curling is mandatory at all stages of hair processing with tongs.

A strand of hair must be grasped with forceps directly at the place where they want to place the curl. As soon as the hair is inserted between the trough and the roller of the forceps, it is necessary to slightly squeeze the handles of the forceps and pull them back. During the pull, hot tongs seem to smooth the hair and slightly warm it up. As a result of this procedure, the hair becomes more plastic. Usually, the tongs are pulled from the place of capture of the strand at a distance corresponding to one or two of their turns. Immediately after this, it is necessary to make one or two turns with them, so that the tongs are in the place of the strand where the curl should be located. The fingers of the left hand at this time hold the ends of the hair, slightly pulling them.

Now the twisted part of the hair is being processed. The forceps are opened and then closed. This movement, repeated often and quickly, contributes to the uniform distribution of the hair over the working surface of the tongs and warms them up to their entire thickness.

The forceps must be pulled to such a distance that it will allow them to be returned to their previous position in one full turn, i.e., to the place where they originally captured the strand of hair. These movements should be repeated in the same order until the ends of the hair are caught between the groove and the roller. At this point, no stretching should be done.

The curling of the curl is completed as follows: the tongs are turned towards themselves in the direction of twisting the curl until they begin to scroll freely in the curl, without resistance. At this point, they can be carefully removed. In this case, you need to ensure that the ends of the hair remain in the middle of the curl.

To prevent the curl from developing, it must be secured with a clip. If this is not done, then under the influence of its own gravity, it, being still hot after curling, will surely sag.

After that, you should start curling the next curl. Thus, the entire strand of hair is curled. In this case, the main attention should be paid to the fact that all the curls of the first row are located on one straight line (horizontally), and the curls of the second row are under them.

Depending on the pattern of the hairstyle, the curls can be located in different ways. But at the stage of mastering the skills of curling with tongs, first of all, it is necessary to achieve the ability to arrange them symmetrically.

Despite the huge variety of existing hairstyles, their main elements are waves and curls. Changes in their appearance or relative position lead to changes in hairstyles.

The hairstyle is made only from waves or only from curls - in any case, it can be original and original. But the most popular hairstyles are those that combine waves and curls. The alternation of these elements, as well as their modification in certain areas of the scalp, give each hairstyle its originality and originality.

To look spectacular, sometimes you need to make an effort. For example, such efforts are required in order to style hair daily. For beautiful styling, and even for a long time, you have to use all kinds of devices: tongs, irons, hair dryers, curling irons and thermal curlers.

But beauty is one thing, but the fact that hair has to be processed using high temperatures is another. As a result of such hot styling, the hair can have split ends, lose its shine, and besides, their fragility occurs.

Hair protection products for hot styling

To protect the hair from such exposure, it is necessary to apply a special agent before each styling. To date, all kinds of balms, mousses, foams, gels and sprays are offered. They have a good effect on the condition of the hair and, in addition, are able to normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Some of the best cosmetics are Wella, Logona, L Oreal, Johnson & Johnson. To make the right choice of one of the recommended tools, you should first find out some of the nuances of their influence.

You can protect your hair during hot styling with the help of several types of products, this is a normal fixation, strong and extra strong. When purchasing mousse or foam, it is worth purchasing the packaging on which there is an inscription that this product is a protection for hot styling. But, despite such a positive effect, these products can negatively affect the skin itself, so they should be applied, departing from the roots by a few centimeters. Basically, mousses and foams are used for styling oily hair.

It is advisable to apply a cream on very weakened and damaged hair, and if it is very thin and not thick, use liquid products in the form of a spray, which contain useful substances.

To style your hair normally, you will also need a good comb (how to choose a comb, read here:). Usually, a comb with fine and frequent teeth is used for styling and combing, and for daily use, it should be with rare teeth.

For unruly hair that can become electrified, a comb with a wooden or metal surface will be the most suitable (by the way, read how to get rid of electrified hair). If you use a brush, then its bristles should not be too coarse or, on the contrary, too soft.

It is better not to use this hair styling method often, as it is harmful to the hair.

Hair styling with electric tongs is performed only on dry and clean hair, since it is dangerous to use tongs with wet hair. And if a varnish or other fixative was applied to the hair the day before, then this will damage the hair - they will lose their shine, they will be dry and brittle.

Light smoke is the norm: it burns paint, moisture, grease and dirt particles located in the interscale space. Plentiful smoke indicates that the hair is dirty, unwashed, greasy and signals the presence of side chemicals on the hair. The characteristic smell of burnt hair and hissing sound indicate the high temperature of the tongs.

The width of the base of the strand should not exceed 4 cm, but also not be thinner than 1 cm.

The thickness of the strand depends on the length of the hair: the longer the hair, the thinner the strand should be. So, with a hair length of about 10 cm, the thickness should be about 4 mm, but not more than 5 mm, with a hair length of about 20 cm, the thickness should be up to 2 mm. If the hair is even longer, it is desirable that the thickness of the strand does not exceed 1mm.

Styling methods.

1. Waves.

ü With a comb, lift a strand of hair about 5 cm wide and insert the tongs, pressing them from above. ü Close the forceps, turn them approximately ¼ turn away from you. ü Move the hair in the tongs 0.5 cm to the left and guide them with the comb 0.5 cm to the right. ü Turn the forceps one turn away from you. ü Holding the hair with a comb so that it wraps around the rod, hold for a few seconds. ü Make a movement in the opposite direction, returning the hair to its original position. ü When this movement is completed, the comb will be out of the tongs. ü Open the tongs with the little finger and place them directly under the crest of the wave. ü Turn the rod towards you and close the forceps. ü Hold the tongs straight, directing the hair with the comb up to form a half ring. ü Without opening the forceps, turn them half a turn away from you. Keep the comb motionless. ü Move the forceps 2.5 cm down. This movement is carried out by slightly opening the forceps (loosening the clamp) and then removing the hair strand with a sliding movement. ü After the end of the curling of one strand, the next one curls flush with it. At the same time, with a part of the uncurled strand, a small part of the already curled strand is taken as a sample with a comb.

2. Short hair - usually the base of the curl is 4-5 cm wide.

Winding methods, i.e. the position of the groove, are of two types:

- “down” (groove on top;

- "up" (groove from below.

ü The strands should be even and evenly stretched so that the heat is evenly distributed. ü Holding the pressure from above, insert the forceps into the hair at a distance of 2.5 cm from the head and hold for a few seconds to form the base of the curl. ü Take the end of the strand with your thumb on one side and with the other two fingers of your left hand on the other, carefully and evenly pull it. ü Turn the forceps away from you with your right hand. ü When turning the tongs, quickly open and close them to prevent twisting of the strand. ü Fix the ends of the hair strands in the center of the curl.

3. From the ends to the roots (the curl is resistant at the ends, but loose at the base: no durable styling).

Separate the strand with a comb, grab it at the hair roots with tongs, place it between the roller of the tongs and the clamp (the length of the winding and the direction of winding should be determined by the desired result of the future hairstyle);

ü Warm up, moving the tongs along the entire length of the strand, and wind the hair onto the roller of the tongs (in order not to burn the scalp, you need to put a comb under the strand of hair that is currently being wound);

ü Hold for 20-30 seconds and carefully pull the tongs out of the curl;

ü Perform this operation on all parts of the head where curls are needed;

ü Finish hair.

1. From the roots to the ends (the base of the curl is ideally formed).

Winding technology.

ü The prepared strand is heated.

ü Then they grab the strands at the base at a height of 2-2.5 cm (in this case, the groove must be turned to the master in order to avoid the appearance of creases).

ü After fixing the tongs, hold for about 6 seconds.

ü Holding the end of the strand, turn the tongs and wind the strand.

We grab the end of the strand and drag it a little deeper into the curl.

1. From the middle.

ü The combed out strand is captured in the middle.

ü Scrolling the tongs in your fingers, wind the end of the strand and twist it to the base.

1. "Eight" (for long hair).

ü Insert the hair into the open forceps at a distance of about 2.5 cm from the skin and close the forceps.

ü Hold the tongs in this position for 5 seconds to warm up the hair.

ü Turn the tongs towards you until the roller is turned towards the base of the strand, and the groove towards the master.

ü The left hand slightly pulls the strand).

ü Continuing to turn the forceps, slightly opening them and holding them at the same distance from the head.

ü Pull the strand of hair towards the tip of the curling iron.

ü Gradually pull the section of hair to the right while pushing the curling iron to the left.

ü Pushing the tongs forward and pulling the hair with your left hand, form two loops around the closed tongs.

ü With each new turn, the ends of the hair change their position, being either to the left or to the right of the twisted strand.

ü Turn the tongs down and close them when the ends of the hair disappear. In order for the ends of the hair to remain in the center of the curl, it is necessary, holding them with tongs, to move the tongs towards the hand.

ü Twist the tongs several times to align the hair in the curl and at the moment when the hair begins to scroll freely in the curl, without resistance, the tongs must be carefully removed.

7. The use of tongs with different working surfaces (iron, corrugation, triangle, zigzag, etc.) give the desired different effect.

After completing the curling on the tongs, you need to comb the hair with a brush and a comb with large teeth. The direction of combing should repeat winding. Then lightly beat with your hands so that the hair takes on a more natural plasticity. Or you can use a ponytail comb and style with curls.

You should know that:

1. All lightened, tinted, damaged and weakened hair is processed with moderately heated tongs.

3. You can not use tongs with a moisturizer for styling hair that is very curly by nature - they will curl even more.

4. Coarse and gray hair can be treated with a higher heating temperature.

5. The comb should be of any non-flammable material and preferably with fine teeth.

Acceptance of holding forceps.

Place the index, middle and ring fingers on the back of the lower handle.

The little finger is on top of the lower handle.

The thumb holds the handle on top.

Safety engineering.

1. Keep your tongs clean and lubricated.
2. Before starting work, read the instructions.
3. Forceps and hands must be dry.
4. The working surface of the tongs must be clean and smooth.
5. With constant overheating, the metal is destroyed, the heating element fails.
6. Be careful not to burn yourself or the client. After winding the strand, leave some distance to the head.
7. Combs should be made of hard and non-flammable plastic.
8. Do not use metal combs - they heat up quickly and can burn the client.
9. To cool down, the tongs must be placed in a safe place.

Combing and blunting.

These operations are necessary for the design of some hairstyles.

To perform both operations, a comb is used.

Combing - dense whipping of hair over the entire width and thickness of the processed strand. The strand is processed from the inside and outside.

Technology:

ü Separate a strand about 1 cm wide;

ü Grab the middle part of the strand between the middle (big) and index fingers of the left hand and pull it perpendicular to the surface of the head;

ü Bring the comb into the strand of hair at a distance of 5-6 cm from its base;

ü By moving the comb towards the base, the strands begin combing (the teeth pass through the thickness of the strand);

ü The movement of the comb down to the base of the strand is stopped at the first sensation of its braking (each subsequent time the comb will stop further and further from the base);

ü These movements are usually repeated several times, and each time the comb is inserted 1-2 cm higher (at the same time, the left hand holding the strand of hair is also moved up to the ends of the strand);

ü At the roots, the whipping of the strand should be stronger than at the ends;

ü So the strand is processed on both sides.

Blunting - whipping hair only half the thickness of the strand, i.e. blunting can be thought of as part of the combing from the inside.

During this operation, a strand of hair is usually pulled not perpendicular to the combing surface, but in the direction in which it will lie in the hairstyle. At the same time, the comb is not inserted to the full thickness, but so that its teeth do not protrude from the outside of the strand.

After combing and blunting, the hair is combed with a special brush having bristles of different lengths. Long bristles smooth the surface layer of the hair, while short ones do not allow them to go deep and damage the base created by the pile.

All hairstyles in the direction of the line can be divided into five types :

Back- hair is directed from the face to the back of the head. It is made from hair of any length. Emphasizes a beautiful forehead and an open face. This hairstyle is done in the women's and men's room.
acentric- hair lines are directed from a certain line of the center of hair growth in different directions. It is performed from hair of short and medium length, as well as from hair of combined length. Bangs are required. It looks more beautiful if the back of the head is high and the forehead is low.
Concentric- hair lines are directed from the face, temples, nape to the top of the head. It is made from long and medium length hair. Suitable for a face with a low forehead and a straight profile. This hairstyle is done in the women's room, and possibly in the men's.
Frontal- hair lines are directed from the back of the head to the face. Made from long hair. The emphasis is on the parietal part and on the frontal region. You can hide the defects of a high forehead and an elongated head shape. This type of hairstyle is done only in women's rooms.
The purely expressed above types of hairstyles are rare, and most often an individual type is used. Individual- is carried out taking into account the individual characteristics of the client. It is done in both women's and men's rooms.

Face Correction

A properly chosen hairstyle should emphasize the dignity and hide some of the natural flaws of the face.

Therefore, choosing a hairstyle is a responsible matter, requiring certain knowledge, taste, imagination and skill.

The choice of hairstyle has its own rules.

Need to take into account

ü features of the figure;

ü type of face;

the shape of the head;

ü hair type;

ü hair color, quality.

When choosing a hairstyle, it is also important to take into account the peculiarities of style, personality, age.

Women of high stature will not go both too high and too smooth hairstyle. Very short haircuts or long “mermaid” hair loose over the shoulders are also not recommended. Do not pull your hair too smoothly, which visually reduces the volume of the head, which in turn increases growth. Best for medium length hair.

Women of small stature should in no case do a voluminous hairstyle so as not to disturb the proportion of the figure. They are more suitable for bunches, knots on long hair that open the neck.

A thin woman with a small head should not wear short men's haircuts, as this will further reduce the volume of the figure. It is best to do hairstyles of medium volume.

Obese women are not recommended short haircuts, as well as smoothly combed hair, as the volume of the head visually decreases and the volume of the body increases. Too voluminous intricate hairstyles are also not recommended, it is better to make a good haircut with large curls.

All faces can be conditionally divided into five types: oval, triangular (heart), square, rectangular (elongated), round. In addition, there are not so common - diamond-shaped and pear-shaped (trapezoid).

oval the face is considered perfect. Any haircuts and hairstyles with partings, bangs or without bangs, symmetrical or asymmetrical, etc. go to such a face. Therefore, all other types of faces must be brought closer to the oval with a hairstyle.

triangular The face is characterized by wide cheekbones and a narrow chin. It is recommended to place the wide part of the hairstyle along the line of the middle of the ear or earlobes. You need a long straight or oblique bangs to the eyebrows, curls at the crown, bouffant.

square the face is characterized by a heavy lower jaw and a large forehead. Such persons are recommended asymmetrical hairstyles with wavy contours, side parting, half-open ears. You can use fleece on the back of the head and sides of the head.

Round the face is characterized by wide cheekbones. We recommend a hairstyle silhouette that expands from the ears upwards, oblique bangs, side parting, asymmetrical hairstyle.

pear-shaped characterized by a narrow forehead and a wide lower jaw.

The hairstyle needs to create volume at the top of the head. It diverges slightly from the sides at the top and converges on a line located below the ears. The forehead can be left open, but you can also have a short bang.

To be avoided: hairstyles that noticeably widen on the sides under the ears, curls on the sides of the forehead, as well as hair pulled into a ponytail.

Correction of facial defects

with a hairstyle

If you look at the faces of the people around us, it can be noted that people with a perfect oval face and harmonious features are extremely rare.

One has a high forehead and a small nose, the other has large lips and round eyes. Or the chin, as it were, went “into itself”, and the nose, on the contrary, moved forward a lot.

All these natural flaws can be made less noticeable with the help of hairstyles.

For women

With a small nose, hairstyles from curled hair can be recommended, while not covering the ears with hair. Suitable hairstyles like "gavroche", with a stepped haircut, waves. In this case, the parting can be either side or straight. A small graceful bang or “ramona” will decorate - a festoon laid out asymmetrically on the forehead.

You should not wear sleek hairstyles with knots in the back, as this will further emphasize the upturned shape of the nose.

Owners of a large nose, pear-shaped, hook-shaped nose can be advised to wear puffy semi-long hairstyles that gently frame the face. In this case, the “center of gravity” can be focused on the parietal part or the back of the head, having slightly blunted the strands. Separate strands of different lengths can be combed onto the forehead and cheeks, diverting attention from the shape of the nose, shifting the focus. You can wear big thick bangs or combed individual strands, as they soften the profile.

You can not wear smooth high hairstyles: they visually lengthen the shape of the nose.

With a high forehead, you can wear hairstyles with a variety of bangs, different in length, but at the same time close the natural line of the forehead. Well suited hairstyle type "page", "square". In this case, the ends of the hair can be trimmed evenly or with teeth. Short and long, thick and sparse strands will divert attention from the shape of the forehead. You can wear hairstyles with soft waves or romantic curls.

You should not open your forehead too much, wear smooth hairstyles with buns or knots on top, as well as any strict hairstyles with “tails”, braids.

With a sloping forehead, you can wear hairstyles with a short sessun haircut, while choosing hairstyles with bangs that cover the forehead in separate strands. If there is a strong bald patch on the forehead, then it is better to wear hairstyles from curled hair combed over the forehead and temples, thereby hiding the natural line. In this case, you should not make a side parting or comb your hair smoothly back. The bangs can be different, go from the crown itself or from the middle of the parietal zone.

Chin

With a large square chin, you can wear hairstyles and haircuts with lush bangs. In this case, the hair of the back of the head can be much rarer than the parietal part. They can be medium in length, reaching the middle of the neck, ending below the level of the chin. Curly, tousled hair that leaves the impression of natural clogging can shift the center of gravity, divert attention from the shape of the chin.

With a sloping chin, it is better to wear hairstyles with coca, "scallops", "ramona", or bangs stretched forward. It is better to curl the ends of the hair slightly in the back of the head (its lower part). In this case, the ears can be completely closed or half open, as well as the part of the face below the ear.

With a small chin, you can wear hairstyles from semi-long hair, the hair of the back of the head can be up to the middle of the neck, below the level of the chin. Curl the hair on the forehead in the form of a light fluffy bang, cook or wave. Give the hair a pomp at the level of the nose and chin by moving the center of gravity.

With a sharp chin, it is better to wear hairstyles from semi-long hair, the ends of which are curled and fluffed, as if by this expanding the lower part of the face.

With widely spaced eyes on the temples, separate hair strands should be combed to the face, while the forehead can also be completely or partially covered with bangs.

If the eyes are close-set, then the hairstyle should be chosen so that the part of the face near the eyes can be slightly opened by combing the hair back. Place a lush mass at eye level, and comb strands a little on the plane of the cheeks, covering part of the face with them. In this case, it is better to wear short haircuts.

Protruding ears can be covered with hair hairstyles by combing hair strands from the temples. Those who wear sleek hairstyles with buns, ponytails or knots in the back can pull the top of the ear with hair. A variety of hairstyles from curly hair based on a "perm" will easily disguise strongly protruding ears.

With a short neck, it is better to choose short haircuts, high hairstyles with parietal knots or buns. The length of the hair may be different, while the hair on the lower part of the back of the head may be shorter. At the level of the eyes and cheekbones, the hair can be curled more, giving it a natural look.

With a long neck, you can wear hair of medium length or to the collarbone, curling them at the ends. You can curl strands at the level of the chin. The contour of the hairstyle is not straight or oval on the neck.

For men

Although men are less demanding on their appearance, in most cases they are not embarrassed by some minor flaws, but still, let's get acquainted with the correction of facial imperfections with the help of hairstyles.

In the presence of a hook-shaped nose, it is better to wear hairstyles with strands combed on the forehead, thick voluminous bangs. At the same time, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe back of the head and temples, curl the hair, giving it splendor. The length of the hair at the back of the head reaches the middle of the neck. The upper part of the ears, as well as part of the cheeks (cheekbones), can be slightly covered with hair.

With a large fleshy nose, you can wear hairstyles, slightly blunting the back of the head, lifting it, making it more magnificent. A voluminous bang descends onto the forehead, hanging over the nose like a visor. In this case, it is not necessary to comb the bangs on the forehead, you can lift it in the form of a cook by combing it back.

If the nose is small or small, then it is better to wear hairstyles with large waves, while trying to open the forehead and ears more, as if increasing the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe face. The length of the hair can be different, reaching the middle of the neck or falling slightly below the earlobe. Side parting, who likes to comb their hair back can do it.

With a sloping forehead, it is better to wear hairstyles with large, lush, voluminous bangs or coque. At the same time, the hair of the occipital zone is slightly blunted. The length of the hair reaches the middle of the neck. The ears are half closed. Whiskey is also slightly covered with wavy strands.

In the presence of large bald patches, the hair should be combed at the temples, you can wear bangs or parting. The hair on both sides of the parting, as it were, will frame the face with “curtains”, hiding the bald patches.

If the forehead is not large or very small in size, then it is better to wear hairstyles with long bangs, starting almost from the crown itself or from the middle of the parietal zone. Bangs can be replaced with individual strands in the form of "icicles" or curls. You should not wear smooth hair combed back.

Chin.

With a square “heavy” chin, it is better to wear haircuts, while you need to make a voluminous lush bang or cook with your forehead. The lower part of the occipital area should be much lighter, and the length of the hair should be below the level of the chin. The ears are completely covered with hair. You can let go of small sideburns, the length of which will reach the middle of the cheek (to the level of the nose). With a small chin, it is better to wear hairstyles with fluffy ends. The length of the hair reaches the level of the chin or slightly below it. You can comb a light bang on your forehead or let in separate strands, throw your hair back in the form of a cook. The lower part of the cheeks can be opened by combing strands of hair towards the ears.

With a sloping chin, you need to comb your hair in front, giving it the appearance of an elongated bang over your forehead. It can also be an elongated cook. In this case, it is better that the hair is slightly curled, fluffy in the occipital area. Part of the cheek (below the ear) can be opened by combing the hair towards the ear.

"What is hot hair styling and does a regular home hair dryer apply to it?" Anna Samoilina, Saratov

All methods of treating hair with heat above air temperature are referred to as hot styling. What is a hair dryer, hot rollers and electric tongs, every woman knows.
An electric dryer is a kind of hair dryer in the form of a warm hat-helmet, under which the head is substituted. Until recently, it was used only in hairdressing salons, but now there is a novelty - dryers for home use. Dryer and dryer are the safest types of hot styling, as they do not come into contact with the hair, acting at a distance of 10-20 cm.
With the help of a hairdresser's iron, masters in salons straighten curly hair. A strand of hair is clamped between two heated plates and pulled out, straightening the hair. Hard, curly, unruly hair can only be styled with an iron.

“From my own experience, I know how harmful it is to curl your hair with tongs - from time to time you have to cut off the burnt ends. I can’t refuse tongs - only with their help I manage to put things in order on my head. Is it possible to protect the hair?” Maria Ch., Moscow

Hot styling is, of course, a great invention. With its help, you can give shape and volume to any, even the weakest, thin and sparse hair. As for the harmful effects of hot styling on hair, this problem seemed insoluble for a long time. The only way that was recommended to help dried hair with a hairdryer or tongs - This advice remains relevant today.
The situation is saved by the appearance of new products - thermal protective agents. They are designed to protect hair from damage by hot styling and normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands. The ingredients of these preparations are activated when heated and neutralize the harmful effects of heat on the hair.
Thermal protection products are divided into two groups: those that are washed off with water: shampoos, conditioners, rinses, and thermal styling products. All of them. Usually, green tea extract, vitamins E, B5 and natural proteins are added to such products, which prevent hair from drying out.

It is impossible to say that the thermal products of some line are better than the others. It is worth choosing the preparations of the company to which you are accustomed and which you trust. I like the gentle line of SP "Wella". The heat-active shampoos and balms of the "Charm" line from "Arnest" have proven themselves well. Concern "Unilever" has released a new series of heat-active shampoos and conditioners "Sunsilk thermasilk". And "Kerastas" offers heat active protective oils and intensive masks. All these series are designed for those who actively use hair dryers, electric tongs and hot rollers.
Dry hair is also helped by treatment with a root strengthening serum, which is able to restore the internal structure of the hair.

"Is it possible to use professional lines of hair products at home?" Eteri Gobelia, Tbilisi

If you dry your hair with thermal appliances, then this is a must. Only the master can choose the right professional line for you. After all, professional tools should be used comprehensively. For example, I would recommend washing thin blond dyed hair with a thermal shampoo, then to add volume, you should use the SP "Wella - 30 seconds" restoring cream. With hot styling, such hair needs mousse volume and a small amount of liquid keratin.
Curly, thick, unpainted hair with oily scalp requires a different care - a special moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. When styling curly hair at home, emulsions are most effective. If the hair is straightened with an iron, thermal balms are needed. When hair is brushed under a blow dryer, it is best to use a heat setting styling milk.
Individual complexes for your hair, taking into account all the nuances, can only be developed by a specialist. Indeed, in professional lines, shampoos "work" in combination with certain balms, rinses and mousses. All hair care products should be of the same brand - then they complement each other more effectively.

"I'm used to washing my hair with hot water and rinsing it with a warm infusion of herbs. I recently heard that hot water harms my hair. Is this true?" Tamara Grigorieva, Moscow

Too hot water when washing and too hot air when drying make hair brittle and dry. In addition, heat enhances the secretion of fatty glands. You can wash your hair with hot water only if you use heat-active shampoos and rinses - they protect your hair from overheating. In general, all recommendations for hair care can be "concluded" in 10 rules:
1 Wash your hair as it gets dirty. Fatty - daily, dry - much less often. Most often, the hair is washed 2-3 times a week. Those who wash their hair every day should only use daily shampoo. It is unacceptable to apply shampoo to the hair in a concentrated form. It must be foamed in a handful of water on the palms or dissolved in a basin of softened water. To do this, add one teaspoon of baking soda or the same amount of ammonia to 2 liters of water. In this water, dilute the shampoo that matches your hair type. Thin and weak hair is best washed in boiled water.
2 Before washing, the hair must be carefully combed, and in the process of washing, try to avoid tangling them.
3 Once a month, replace the shampoo with two egg yolks, or curdled milk. With these products, the hair is "soaped" in the same way as shampoo.
4 Rinse your hair thoroughly - excess shampoo in the hair deprives them of shine. Balms and conditioners are used to remove shampoo residues and for protection. The last rinse of the hair should be cool - cold water "closes" the scaly layer of the hair. It is better if it is a decoction of herbs: chamomile, St. John's wort, oak bark, sage or rosehip leaves.
5 It is more useful to dry your hair at room temperature, without combing it wet, wiping it with a soft towel heated on a radiator. Do not tie wet hair with a handkerchief or tie with a towel.
6 The first combing - from the ends to the roots.
7 Weak and thin hair should not be combed wet.
8 Split ends should be cut from time to time and the ends should be lubricated with special oils or emulsions, which are called “Split ends”.
9 Long hair quickly deteriorates from strong tension. Therefore, I do not recommend daily tight tails, tightly braided braids, partings in the same place. Use tight hoops, elastic bands and metal hairpins with sharp surfaces less often. They, like iron combs, break hair.
10 Combs should be wooden, with rounded and sufficiently long teeth, massage brushes - hair or pile.

"Is there a diet for damaged hair?" Kristina Feodonia, Sevastopol

Modern research has proven that not only care products nourish the hair. No wonder hair falls out most often in women who are fond of trendy diets. Hair reacts sharply to protein starvation, so owners of dry hair need dairy products, cheese and meat. In the menu you need to enter dishes with food gelatin - jellies, jellies, mousses, jelly, jelly.
The French call for strengthening hair by eating yellow fruits that contain vitamin A: peaches, apricots, pears, mangoes and bananas. All greens and carrots are useful for hair. Phosphorus deficiency in hair can be partially compensated by fish and seafood. Hair "loves" vegetable oils, especially soybean and corn. And in the East, rye beer is drunk to strengthen hair. They also make hair masks from it.
