Interest in how to make a beautiful hairstyle remains relevant in any situation. Most girls and women want to look beautiful and well-groomed both in everyday life and during any celebration.
There are quite a lot of options for hairstyles and styling for owners of medium length hair. Consider the simplest and most beautiful of them.
Hair and styling: what's the difference?
Many people confuse the concepts of hairstyles and styling, and therefore there are difficulties with the choice. Styling already by its name hints at the fact that it involves certain manipulations with the hair, as a result of which they fit neatly and beautifully.
Such manipulations can be:
- Drying damp hair with a blow dryer and a round comb that twists the ends in or out. You can also use a round brush to raise the roots, making the styling more voluminous.
- Drying damp hair with a diffuser attachment or hair dryer comb. This method is a littlemore difficult, but also has its results. A hair dryer usually has a round nozzle that resembles a regular round comb. The diffuser gives the effect of fine curls, although it may not suit everyone.
- Winding wet hair on curlers, followed by drying with a hair dryer. Before you start winding the strands on the curlers, you can treat the hair with mousse so that the styling lasts longer.
- Straightening already dried hair with an iron.
- Curling dry hair with flat iron, curling iron or curling iron.
- Corrugating dry strands with special tongs. You can also use the same forceps to create volume at the roots of the hair. If you use a thermal protection spray at the same time, then corrugating the roots may be a safer action for the hair than backcombing.
Styling shoulder-length hair is somewhat simple, because owners of hair of this length do not spend much time styling.
Sometimes hairstyles are based on styling. For example, beautiful waves on the head are formed from curled strands with the help of invisibility or on the basis of a chic volume at the roots created with a round comb, they make a high hairstyle.
Hairstyles involve any additional actions with hair: pinning, weaving, and so on.
Which is better to choose: hair or styling?
Hairstyle or hair styling to the shoulders is usually done quite quickly. Sometimes styling even takes longer.
There is no clear answer which is better: hairstyle or styling, because first of all you need to start from the girl's personal preferences. Whenwith everyday hairstyles, everything is easier. If we are talking about an event, then its nature, place and time also play a role.
In this case, hair stylists recommend that you try out the styles and hairstyles that you like in advance in order to subsequently evaluate their appearance, see how they look on you and find out exactly how much time and effort they take. Then it will be easier for you to decide. In addition, you will probably have several favorite hairstyles or styling in your arsenal.
If you go to a beauty salon, it would also be useful to try a hairstyle or styling in advance. The master, most likely, will do everything carefully, but you can make sure that you like the result so that you don’t get upset before the event.
Styling with irons, tongs and curling irons
Straight-plate flat iron can both straighten and curl your hair. Curling irons and curling irons involve only curling, but the variety of their models is so huge that you can opt for literally any shape and size of curls. When choosing curling irons or curling irons for styling shoulder-length hair, they usually choose models that will create large light curls, curling them literally only at the ends, since small curls can be created much easier and faster in other ways. The most popular of them is curlers.
Wide wavy flat irons allow for a rippled effect that needs to be approached with care: it doesn't look good on medium length hair when fully pleated. Soironing can add volume at the roots. At the same time, it is better to either not touch the upper strands at all (well, just comb them), or straighten them with an iron with even plates. Thus, a sharp transition from corrugated roots to straight hair along the entire length will not be particularly noticeable.
Styling irons in general make it much easier to style shoulder-length hair with bangs. This is their undeniable advantage. With this tool, you will not need to suffer for a long time on how to style shoulder-length hair. Thanks to its versatility, the iron can straighten or curl the bulk of the hair, and the process of styling the bangs will be much easier, and the effect will be neat: the bangs will turn out to be even and glossy, will not fluff.
Hair accessories
In addition to hairpins and invisible hairpins, which are needed to fix the strands, girls use many functional and decorative accessories, including:
- different types of hairpins;
- tiaras;
- headbands, hoops;
- decorative studs with embellished tip;
- and more.
It is important not to overdo it with accessories and choose them according to the event.
Everyday hairstyles
Hairstyles for hair to the shoulders for every day can be done quickly enough. The tail or the so-called malvinka are the simplest options. If you want to decorate such a hairstyle, you can use a bright elastic band or an unusual hairpin.
You can also separate part of the hair and fix it with a hairpin at the back of the head. This hairstyle looks neat anddone simply and quickly.
If you master weaving, you can use them for both everyday and festive hairstyles. Even an elementary "spikelet" will decorate your image. If among your acquaintances there is someone who knows how to weave braids with pickup, you can ask him to help.
On medium length hair, you can braid a braid called "French Falls". She braids at the back and suggests that the hair will remain loose, but decorated with interesting weaves. Also, a “spikelet” is often braided in the center of the head, starting from the forehead itself. The spikelet can be braided to the end, or you can only braid a part, fix it with a tight hairpin and leave your hair loose. It is better to first fix such a “spikelet” with silicone rubber, and then with a hairpin - this will ensure the strength of the hairstyle. This option also helps to remove long bangs if they get in the way.
Another option is the French braid. It looks very voluminous, especially if you stretch out the strands. On medium length hair, it will not be possible to braid this braid in the center, it is better to weave obliquely. If you do not want to collect hair, then pick up strands only on one side, and not on two. If you pick up strands on both sides, then the whole hair will eventually be in a braid, and the tip of the braid can be tied with an elastic band, and then fixed with hairpins or invisible ones. Thus, all your hair will be collected, which is very relevant and convenient for the hot season.
Hairstyles for the solemnevents
As mentioned earlier, you need to consider the nature of the event. At one event, laconic styling or neat ponytails will be appropriate, while for another, the most elaborate options that you can think of will suit.
Evening hairstyles for shoulder-length hair are not full of variety, they usually prefer styling. Styling can be supplemented with beautiful and bright accessories: tiaras, hairpins, decorative hairpins and so on.
Evening hairstyles for shoulder-length hair can be done with braids - these options look very cute. Moreover, such a hairstyle can be both casual and formal, if you choose the appropriate accessories.
Features of prom hairstyles
One of the hardest decisions a girl has to make before graduation is her prom hairstyle. Shoulder-length hair can be simply styled beautifully, or you can dream up and form a beautiful bun or a beautiful shape from curls.
Unlike "adult" celebrations, where graceful restraint is more welcome, graduates can afford some frivolity in hairstyles and costumes. The main thing is not to cross the fine line between moderate frivolity and bad taste, and even more so vulgarity. That is why prom hairstyles can be airy, a little careless (especially since slight carelessness, naturalness is one of the trends in both 2017 and 2018).
Weaves are also suitable for prom hairstyles. Shoulder-length hairallow you to partially or completely remove them into a beautiful braid. And it will even be practical: graduation celebrations take place in the summer, at this time it is very hot, and loose hair can get in the way a little.
Using kanekalon and overhead strands
You can try to make an original hairstyle using kanekalon. It is usually woven into the hair, due to which the braid looks much more voluminous. Artificial strands can be attached using special hairpins on them.
Bangs: what to do with them?
When styling on shoulder-length curly hair, you can immediately capture the bangs, if it is long (at least to the level of the upper lip), then it will lie directly in the hair. Also, bangs can be braided into a braid or into a spikelet, and if its length is not enough, then you can simply stab it with a small hairpin.
If there is no desire to remove bangs, then styling with an iron will come in handy. Shoulder-length hair is styled in a comfortable way, and the bangs are simply straightened with a flat iron.
