Hairstyles - more complicated than expected
Anyone who has ever tried to recreate a seemingly simple hairstyle with the help of a tutorial, be it on YouTube, social media or in a magazine, has probably quickly realized that it is more time-consuming than expected. Braided hairstyles, Dutch braids and the like may look quick to do. Unfortunately, the opposite is often the case. Recreating a hairstyle usually requires a bit of skill. Sometimes a little help is needed. With clip-in extensions made from human hair, for example, you can conjure up long hair in no time at all.
Practice makes perfect
Even if you probably want to hear something completely different at this point, nothing beats practicing hairstyles on a regular basis. After all, no hairstyle master has ever fallen from the sky. All women started out small and probably failed at their first attempt at a braided hairstyle. However, by repeating the steps frequently, they now manage to recreate hairstyles within a few minutes. Even hairdressers have to learn their craft before they can conjure up fabulous hairstyles. Nevertheless, there are a few tools and tips that can help even beginners to achieve the perfect hairstyle.
It starts with washing your hair
Hair is usually only styled beautifully when it is dry. However, to make this easier, you should already pay attention to your hair when washing it. Many people think that the structure of their hair cannot be changed and therefore the hairstyle simply won't work. Wrong thinking. Most people simply use the wrong shampoo. Just as there are skin types, there are also hair types. It is therefore all the more important to adapt the shampoo accordingly in order to maintain the naturalness of the hair. After washing with shampoo, conditioner should also be used. However, this should never be massaged into the roots, but only into the ends. This keeps the hair on the head manageable and the ends nice and soft. To make the hair even more manageable and the texture of the hair more compact, use mousse after washing.
Styling when dry
If you now want to conjure up a beautiful hairstyle, you will need a few tools. In addition to a comb, braids and clips, dry shampoo has proven to be a real miracle cure for hairstyles. Dry shampoo is actually used to remove excess oil from the hair. But it can also be very helpful for styling. Dry shampoo gives the hair volume. The more volume your hair has, the better you can work with it. Dry shampoo does a particularly good job with braided or up-do hairstyles.
Further tips
It is now clear how to give your hair the ideal structure for a beautiful hairstyle. However, if your hair is still not playing ball, you can save your hairstyle with a few simple tips.
Hairspray
Hairspray is a real all-rounder. It sets the hair and gives it a beautiful shine. If your hair doesn't want to stay in place, you can help it along with a little hairspray. Hairspray can also be sprayed onto an unused toothbrush to smooth out fine hairs. Bobby pins can also be sprayed with hairspray to make them hold better.
Teasing
It is very easy to create hairstyles with tousled hair. However, as tousling takes time and the hair needs to be combed out well afterwards to avoid knots, many women shy away from this option. Nevertheless, tousling has many advantages.
There are simply days when the hairstyle just won't stay in place. However, if you follow the above instructions and pay attention to the tips, even the most stubborn hair can be turned into a beautiful hairstyle.
