Types of backcombing

There are many voluminous hairstyles in 2018, but only two types of backcombing are used to create them:

blunting (to the root): the most common method; This is done first on one strand, then the rest are connected to it;
on individual strands: more suitable for creating curls (rings or twisted voluminous curls); just like with blunting, it starts from the bottom, then the comb gradually rises up.

This season they can show off on hair of any length: both short, medium and long strands. You can do hairstyles with backcombing with or without bangs it, or, without styling it too much, just fluff up your hair and let it fall over your shoulders or throw it to one side.

Advice! To avoid damaging the hair scales, apply a softening spray to them before combing. Hair coated with this composition will be smoother and more manageable.

How to backcomb the roots?

To create such hairstyles, you can purchase a special comb or use any one with thin and not too frequent semicircular teeth. You will also need a regular comb to smooth out the remaining strands not affected by the backcombing.

So, let's take a step-by-step look at how combed hairstyles are created:

hair is thoroughly washed and dried; to get additional volume at the roots, it is better to dry them with a hairdryer with your head down;
depending on the chosen option, we determine on which strands we will create volume; for a “ponytail” we beat the hair only at the back of the head, some hairstyles require processing the back and sides of the head;
We start the work from the back of the head, gradually rising higher, take a strand about a centimeter thick, treat it with a fixing gel or varnish;
holding it perpendicular to the head, we begin smoothly and carefully, trying to injure the scales as little as possible, whisking, starting from the tips, gradually, 2-3 centimeters at a time, moving towards the roots;
It is necessary to grab only the lower part of the strand, leaving its top smooth;
up and down movements unnecessarily injure the scales, so it is better to comb only from top to bottom;
lower the finished strand and move on to the next one;
It will take more time to comb hard strands - they give in less easily;
With a regular comb we go only along the top strands covering the backcomb;
We must fix the resulting result with varnish, otherwise our hairstyle will quickly fall apart.

"Ponytail"

The strands, gathered in a bun high on the back of the head and then falling in the form of a tail, give the face a special aristocracy. A hairstyle with a piled ponytail can be done:

with or without bangs;
not only on straight, but also curly hair;
long locks or curls of medium length;
be located very high, low, almost at the back of the head or on the side of the head;
be smooth, voluminous or slightly disheveled; be decorated with strands that have “lost” from the hairstyle;
braided into a braid or started with braids placed on the head;
secured only with rubber bands or subsequent entwining with your own strand of hair.

Unfortunately, this option is not suitable for everyone. A playful ponytail, swaying slightly in time with the heels, can only be afforded by the owner of fairly thick hair. You should not do it in case of a narrow face with small cheekbones - it will only emphasize this flaw. The ideal option for a ponytail is a round or square face.

Another contraindication to this option is age - only young girls can afford a ponytail. Even slightly protruding ears should not be exposed with this hairstyle. After all, stylists are offering a lot of hairstyles this year. If you like ponytails, then use softer versions of them, located lower with loose strands on the sides.

Advice! You should not comb all your hair, otherwise your hairstyle will look like a bird's nest. The hair is lifted with a small comb only from the inside. The strands covering it are carefully combed from above.

Babette

Backcombed hairstyles for medium and long hair (photo) include babette

As in the previous case, we will need to make the tail high on the back of the head. But we will not comb the top of the head, but the strands hanging from it to later obtain a roller from them. To add volume, you need to beat the tail with a comb as hard as possible.

Then the stray strands are hidden in the ponytail, and the roller is secured with bobby pins, sprayed with varnish and, if necessary, decorated with decor. To give your hair even more volume, you can use foam pads or bagels that wrap around and hide under the hair strands. A roller wrapped in a thin braid or decorated looks very impressive. bow made from your own hair

Another very feminine version of the babette is half-loose. To create it, the hair is combed on the top of the head, and the part located closer to the temples is not fluffed. In the crown area, a roller is hidden under the hair and secured with hairpins. All that remains is to collect the hair from the sides and secure it at the back and, voila, a chic and feminine hairstyle is ready.

Advice! It would be a big mistake to comb your combed hair. To straighten them, just wash them, then spread the balm over them and carefully sort out the tangled hairs with your fingers.

Greek style bouffant

This hairstyle helps soften your facial features and make it more feminine. In this case, the emphasis is on the headband, hoop or ribbon. They can imitate a familiar headband or be placed on the forehead.

The strands, starting from the crown, are gently beaten with a comb, the upper strands are combed with a brush. Then all the hair is gathered into a ponytail located at the back of the head. Try not to pull it too tight - the hairstyle should be as soft and feminine as possible. Several headbands can also be worn on the head. Hair lying loosely between them will create a kind of lush waves. Since in this case we do not need a large volume, the varnish for fixing is distributed over the top.

Advice! If you can't get a neat bouffant, you may be doing it wrong. Correct backcombing is done on a tightly stretched strand using semicircular movements.

Japanese hana

Outwardly, it looks like half-down hair with a small bun at the top. You can make khana in 1–2 minutes:

also, as in the previous case, we collect the tail, but we do not collect all the hair into it, but only part of it from the top of the head, we attach it as high as possible and backcomb it;
To prevent the hairstyle from becoming too smooth, carefully pull out the strands from the tail;
twist the whipped hair into a shell and tuck the remaining ends into it;
You can give the roller more volume if you place a donut, a small chignon or a foam pad under it and cover it with an artificial strand or wrap it with a thin cloth;
you can wrap the hana with a braid or lock of hair to hide the loose ends;
This hairstyle can be decorated with a hairpin, hairpins with rhinestones or beads, a ribbon, or a thin leather strap.

Bouffant with curls

Stylish hairstyles, the same as those of Hollywood stars, can be achieved by combining backcombing with curls.

The most important thing is to create the effect of natural lush curly curls:

each strand is combed at the roots before twisting;
if you want to get only texture on the hair without pronounced curls, the strands are taken quite wide;
We take a curling iron in our hands and begin gradually, strand by strand, to form curls from them;
Don’t forget to fix each of them with varnish.

Advice! You shouldn't comb your hair every day. After all, such a procedure damages them. Be sure to use healing masks more often. Healthy and well-groomed curls suffer much less from it.

Nest hairstyle

You can “twist” it yourself, without going to the salon. The hairstyle differs from previous options in its larger volume and the presence of a chignon, which can be replaced using a suitable piece of foam rubber. To keep it from being noticeable, wrap it with some fabric that matches your hair color.

You can create a similar backcombed hairstyle for long hair without using a chignon. But for short ones, false strands will definitely be required. You can hide them either under the tail or in the very thick of combed hair in the area of the crown or upper part of the back of the head. Such a high and very voluminous hairstyle is decorated with ribbons, bows, hairpins, braided laces or tiaras.

Advice! In order for your hair to maintain volume for as long as possible, you should not fix all your hair at once with hairspray, but each whipped strand.

Comb for short hair

Hairstyles for short hair with a backcomb (see photo) can have a huge number of variations. Depending on the desired result, they are whipped in a certain sequence.

Any celebration, party or even birthday can be an excellent occasion to create a new, stylish look.

Backcombing is a great way to add volume to your hair.

When girls want to not only change their image, but come up with something unusual without visiting a beauty salon or a professional stylist, then they should try doing backcombed hairstyles for long hair at home. The bouffant itself is a hidden “structure” of hair, which is done solely in order to visually increase the thickness of the strands and the volume of the entire hairstyle. Even though this is effective way increase the styling proportionally, but the procedure is quite harmful: it is very difficult to comb your hair after combing. That is why it is recommended to make such a design on the head as rarely as possible, for example, for a very important celebration, a special event.

How to do backcombed hairstyles for long hair?

The bouffant is a very versatile design. It goes perfectly with curls, braids, buns and regular ponytails. This means that, if desired, you can modify any hairstyle for any event. All that remains is to find out how to actually do the backcombing on long strands.

So, creating volume is a long procedure, especially when it comes to long hair. To create a backcomb that can then actually be combed, you need to perform a series of steps according to the instructions.

To create the bouffant on your hair you need:

Comb the strands thoroughly (volume should only be done on clean, freshly washed hair).
Divide the hair into two parts: one to create a backcomb, the second to close it on top.
Usually the front strands are separated and temporarily pinned with a hairpin so that they do not interfere or become tangled.
Take one small strand of hair and comb it thoroughly.
Lightly apply mousse to the selected strand.
You need to pull the strand up, and, taking a ruler with rare teeth, begin to “comb” the hair in the opposite direction, starting from the roots. On long hair, the backcomb should occupy ¼ of the total length (near the roots). In order for the bouffant to last, you need to fix the result with a generous amount of hairspray.
Carry out all the above steps with each strand.
To make the styling beautiful, previously pinned top strands are taken, carefully combed and applied over the backcomb to hide sloppy shapes.
The entire hairstyle is fixed with varnish.

Since long hair stretches quickly, any volume or curls can easily fall off. To avoid this, you need to backcomb the strands as thin as possible. The more there are, the longer the volume will last on the hair.

What to combine bouffant with? Suitable options, stylish styling

Choosing the appropriate installation option, special attention worth paying attention to braids. It is the combination of backcombing with various kinds of weaving that always looks feminine and elegant. It is worth taking a closer look at how this backcombed hairstyle is done for long hair. Step-by-step instructions will help you avoid mistakes and create the perfect hairstyle for a party or celebration.

Volume braid, backcombing - the perfect combination for long hair

Braid + backcomb is the most popular combination. Her shape looks especially chic, because the pride of every girl is a big braid. In this case, to combine two such elements, you just need to correctly form the bouffant.

Comb your hair thoroughly and divide it into two parts along a horizontal parting. Secure the bottom one with an elastic band so that they don’t get tangled or interfere.
Taking the top strand and also dividing it into two parts (in a ratio of one to three), you need to remove the outermost part of the hair from above and start backcombing the bottom strand.
The backcomb in this place should be made as large as possible. It should be ¼ of the entire hair length. It must be done according to the previously stated instructions.
After this, you need to secure the comb so that you get a “mound” on your head. On top you need to secure the previously removed upper strands.
All hair that ends up on top of the backcomb must be carefully combed and the result is fixed with hairspray.
After this, all the hair in the lower part of the back of the head is released from the elastic band.
On each strand you need to backcomb the roots - 3 or 4 cm.
All that remains is to weave the outer braid from the hair. The “reverse braid” used in this case ideally hides the “chaos” of the backcomb, but at the same time it looks even more voluminous and larger.
The resulting result should also be fixed with hairspray.

Wedding hairstyle with backcomb

It is easiest to choose backcombed hairstyles for long hair for a wedding, because it is for such an occasion that the largest number of hairstyles have been invented. For example, backcombing with a bun is considered popular. These backcombed hairstyles for long hair look very feminine. Photos of many owners of similar hairstyles prove that such hairstyles are very comfortable and beautiful and are suitable for evening celebrations and weddings.

A brushed bun is a neat and convenient styling option.

In this style, the principle of creation coincides with a hairstyle with a braid; only a small part of the instructions changes.

For example, backcombing is also done at the top of the head, the closer to the forehead, the better. When creating a backcomb on the head, side strands are not used. All remaining hair is collected in a bun - its shape can be any (disheveled, tight, a bun of braids or curls). Those side strands that were not previously used are attached to the base of the bundle in a loose state. The resulting styling is the standard of femininity and romance. This wedding hairstyle with backcombing for long hair must have an accessory: large artificial flowers, shiny hairpins - they must be attached from above to the base of the bun.

Ponytails with fleece - fast, stylish and convenient

For those who value comfort in movement and do not like bulky styling even on long hair, a gathered hairstyle for long hair was specially created. A brushed ponytail is the fastest styling option. The process of creating it does not take large quantity time, and the instructions themselves are not as long as many expect.

Step-by-step instructions for a ponytail hairstyle

To make a backcomb on the tail, you need:

Comb your hair and divide it horizontally into two parts. Temporarily pin the bottom one.
Divide the top strand into three parts: remove the side strands, and the strand that ends up in the middle should be divided into two more strands.
We work on the backcombing on the middle strand on the top of the head. The one that appears lower is subjected to abundant backcombing. The more it is (it is advisable to do it on thin strands), the longer the hairstyle will last.
The done bouffant is fixed with mousse and varnish.
The upper middle strand is placed on top of it. Pre-combed smoothly.
All hair is gathered into a ponytail on the top of the head: the sides, the bottom, and strands from the backcomb.
The tail is secured with an elastic band or a hairpin.
Strands are selected from the tail itself, and backcombing is also done right at the base of the elastic around the entire perimeter.
To make the tail look neat, you need to superficially comb the very top hairs on the tail without affecting the structure of the comb itself.
Fix the result with hairspray.

Any bouffant means volume, so if you want to stand out at a celebration and look worthy of your outfit, for example a long evening dress, just use a bouffant in combination with other styles and look brilliant.

Unambiguous. Naturalness is trending today. That is, the main task is to create a hairstyle that gives the impression that the girl has put a minimum of effort into making her hair look beautiful. How to achieve this effect for long hair? Let's figure it out.

How to do This is something worth thinking about, but not the first thing. The primary goal is quality care. You don’t have to hope that healthy locks will be presented beautifully. Therefore, make it a rule to carry out weekly procedures to restore the structure of your hair. This requires scrubbing the scalp and using masks made from natural ingredients. It is also important to monitor the quality of the shampoos and combs used.

Having fallen in love with the procedure for caring for your hair, it’s time to ask the following question: “How to backcomb it?” On long hair, you can consider two methods of backcombing: at the roots and at the ends.

It is important to know that there is no point in backcombing dirty hair. This hairstyle will be heavy, which means it will fall apart very quickly. To achieve a long-lasting effect, wash your hair before. On long hair, it will look better if you blow-dry with your head down. If you do not want to damage the structure of your hair with hot air, use another drying method. Simply roll slightly damp hair into large rollers designed to create volume. By the way, it is better to choose such products with a plastic fastener rather than with Velcro, since after using Velcro curlers, the hair begins to split.

Having created a small volume at the roots, we begin combing completely dry hair. Gather your bangs, side strands and some curls from the back of your head into a bun and secure with a hairpin. This part of the hair will serve as a kind of screen for us, which will allow us to hide our combed hair from prying eyes. Now we take a small comb (its teeth should not be very sharp) and, separating strand by strand, comb the hair at the roots. After combing the strand, sprinkle the roots with a small amount of hairspray, then screw it onto the bottle with this product. Leave the strand in this position for a few seconds, then repeat the same with the untreated part of the hair.

We figured out how to backcomb long hair. Now the hair needs to be shaped. We unravel the curls collected in a knot and make a parting. The ends can be curled with a curling iron or left straight. To ensure that your hairstyle retains its shape for as long as possible, fix the result with hairspray.

How to create volume on long hair tied up in a hairstyle? The technique remains the same. Comb the strands and loosen the remaining uncombed curls over the top. Give your hair the desired shape and secure with bobby pins, bobby pins or bobby pins. You can complete the look with a headband or hair ribbon.

After going through the day and evening, you need to remove the comb from your head. If you have soft, obedient and healthy hair, there will be no problems with this task. If combing your hair is problematic, apply balm or conditioner to your loose hair and leave for 10 minutes. After that, comb your hair a little with your fingers, rinse off the balm and wash your hair with shampoo.

All kinds of backcombed hairstyles add volume to your hair and allow you to create different looks. They look elegant and stylish, making it possible to highlight natural beauty. This perfect choice for parties and celebrations, as well as for quick and effective everyday styling. To make a backcomb at home, you need to know some of the subtleties of creating this hairstyle.

For example, the legendary “Babette” - a hairstyle from the distant sixties of the last century is still popular. An elegant mound at the back of the head is appropriate for loose strands, curls, and French braids.

This option can be done with or without elegant bangs (the bangs are lifted with a curling iron or curlers). They do it on V hair of any length. And similar universal hairstyles there are quite a few with fleece.

On healthy hair, it allows you to create unusual elegant designs. For those who have thin, weak hair that does not have natural volume, this is perhaps the only opportunity to become the owner of a beautiful, voluminous hairstyle.

Hairdressing compositions are complemented with various accessories: stylish hairpins, fresh flowers, rhinestones, beads.

Many ladies are sure that this option damages and weakens the hair, so they try to avoid such methods. But if you do it technologically correctly, and do not abuse this type of styling, then there will be no damage to your hair.

What tools and products will be needed for backcombing?

To make a high-quality, gentle comb, you need the right tools:

A special comb designed for backcombing. She has a thin handle, resembling a long knitting needle. They are made of plastic and metal, but it is better to give preference to a product made of polymer. Another feature of the comb is the special design of its teeth. Short teeth alternate with long ones, at the ends of which there is a slight thickening (droplets). The strands should not be bunched together; they should be airy and light. This form of comb takes into account the peculiarities of the technique of performing this procedure, and also makes it possible to perform correction without destroying its pomp.
Massage brush. This tool should have soft natural bristles. Use this brush to carefully comb your hair before starting work and smooth the strands.
Clamps. They make it easier to work on long, thick hair and create complex shapes.
Hairdryer for drying, styling, etc.
Foam, mousse or gel(to give additional volume), varnish for fixing.
Curling irons, curlers. These tools will be needed for voluminous romantic hairstyles with curls.

We do backcombing at home

Combing is not difficult to do yourself. If done correctly, you can create very natural, voluminous hairstyles. A simple option is done using a comb and a hairdryer. Most often, hair is collected on the top of the head and in the temple area.

The first step towards quality performance is to wash your hair well. Washed hair is lighter and has maximum natural volume. It is more difficult to create a curvy look on heavy, dirty strands. You can only work with dry hair. It is advisable to dry them in such a way as to achieve the maximum possible volume at the roots so that it retains its shape longer. To do this, you can use a hair dryer with special attachments. Important: Even if you're in a hurry, don't work with wet or damp strands. This will not only not bring the desired result, but will also damage your hair.
Combing is done from the roots (about 3–5 cm from the growth line), gradually moving to the ends. The movements of the comb should not be sudden. You need to grab a strand (about 2.5 cm) on the top of your head and process it, moving against the direction of hair growth. The strand is combed from the roots to about half its length.
It is necessary to leave a few natural strands. They are used for camouflage, which will give a natural finish. After processing all the strands, they begin to create the intended styling. Important. To make the styling resistant to weather surprises, it is worth processing thinner strands (up to 1 cm).
Lightly spray with quality varnish.

Comb for short hair

Many will look more interesting and attractive if you give them fullness with backcombing.

One of the popular types for short hair is “Flashlight”. It is made on the basis of a short bob. The styling technique is not very complicated:

Comb clean hair thoroughly with a brush. Determine the parting line. Comb the strands upward starting from the back of the head. Gradually move (strand by strand) to the forehead and temples.
Give the comb a shape and fix it with varnish. The strands must be carefully smoothed back along the growth of the hair with a thin comb handle.
Gently straighten the strands at the temples. They should fit smoothly. Place a high “cook” at the top.
After this, varnish again.

Romantic curls. You can quickly create a subtle look by adding extra volume to your curled hairstyle. When performing this styling, you can use a headband, a hoop, or create bangs with several curls.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

Create long lasting curls.
Comb most of the hair, leaving the required amount of curls uncombed. There is no need to comb the ends of your hair (1-1.5 cm).
Cover the created areas with curls and natural ends.
Lightly beat the strands with your fingers and adjust the shape.
Treat with strong hold varnish.

Backcomb for medium hair

Medium length is popular among ladies of all ages. The option based on Greek motifs looks very harmonious here.

This hairstyle can be used daily or done for an important celebration. At the same time, a hairdressing masterpiece in the Greek style for the holiday will be distinguished by more voluminous shapes and the presence of accessories. The main focus is the fabric bandage.

From the border of the forehead to the headband, the hair is combed smoothly.
Abroad, the headband is carefully combed from the top of the head.
Gently smooth the top with a brush.
Gather strands into a low ponytail.
Secure it all with a strong hold varnish.

Backcomb for long hair

Backcomb with braid “Spikelet” - simple and beautiful styling:

The hair is heavily combed from the front to the crown.
A “Spikelet” is carefully woven from the top of the head, trying not to crush the resulting volume.
The braid is secured with an elastic band, and the hairstyle is fixed with varnish.
A braid for a festive event is complemented with an elegant headband, tiara, and rhinestones.

Who is suitable for a combed hairstyle?

Backcombing is an excellent way to create numerous stylish styling options, but such hairstyles are not for everyone. For example, those with long faces should avoid this type of hairstyle. High hairstyles visually lengthen the face.

Those with round and wide faces should not add large volumes to the sides of their heads. For such ladies, the option at the top of the head is suitable. Its shape should “work to visually give the face an oval, classic shape.”

Long, free-falling strands with a backcomb at the roots will suit a triangular face.

Happy owners of an oval face can “try on” almost any hairstyle.

Remember a few more rules that will help you create stylish backcombed hairstyles:

Fixation agents should be used sparingly and only good quality, excess varnish (mousse, gel) will turn it into a sticky web;
If you have very thick and coarse hair, give up this hairstyle option: its airiness will disappear very quickly, it will look shapeless and sloppy;
It can only be removed by washing; trying to comb tangled strands can be painful and lead to hair damage.

Rules for creating backcombing on long hair

The combed hairstyle was at the peak of popularity in the 60s of the twentieth century, and today it is again in trend. With its help, the hair acquires additional volume along the entire length, on the crown or at the back of the head. Let's learn more about this hairstyle for long hair so that you can do it yourself and master several simple hairstyles based on it.

Peculiarities

Unlike short and medium hairstyles, the process of creating a bouffant for long hair has some peculiarities.

Typically, long strands are characterized by oiliness at the roots and dryness at the ends, so sometimes the bouffant does not hold well. To avoid hair falling out, you can lightly dust the root zone with a special powder: it will not only absorb excess fat, but will also help the hairstyle stay in place better.
If you find it difficult to comb your strands because of their length, limit yourself to the root zone only.
Many long-haired women with unruly curls have trouble keeping their hairstyles in place. To avoid this, you can use curlers before styling. Curl your hair to create a light wave at the roots.

How to make a bouffant

To create combed hairstyles you need to use:

styling products - mousse or foam;
softening protective spray;
a thin comb with thick teeth;
a brush for smoothing the finished hairstyle;
bobby pins, elastic bands, hairpins - optional;
medium hold hairspray.

Hair preparation

The appearance of the styling and how long the bouffant will last for long hairstyles depends on the preparation of the hair. To do this you need:

Wash your hair. Remember: the hairstyle holds much worse if you do it on dirty curls, the volume is insufficient and the hairstyle quickly falls off. Before creating a backcomb, wash your hair with shampoo designed for extra volume.
Dry your hair with a diffuser. You can also dry your hair naturally: gather wet hair in a high ponytail or bun and dry it this way - this will give it additional volume and make it easier for you to backcomb the roots.
Apply a protective softening spray to the strands, which will reduce the negative impact of backcombing.
Squeeze a little fixative onto your palm and rub it into your hair. It is important to guess the right amount, otherwise the hairstyle will not hold up well. If you have very long curls (about waist length), you need to squeeze out a ball of foam or mousse the size of a small apple. For shorter curls (just below the shoulder blades), you can limit yourself to a nut-sized ball of styling product.

Step-by-step technique for backcombing with photos

Separate a few curls at the crown area and pin them up - they will be needed to cover the combed hair at the end of styling.
Take a short strand (about 2 cm) in your hand and move it up perpendicular to the surface of your head.
Comb the strand with a thin comb, moving from ends to roots. Use gentle movements to avoid damaging your hair. When the comb begins to move with difficulty, stop combing.

Treat all areas you want to comb.
Gently push the comb back and cover with untouched strands, smoothing them with a brush.
Fix your hair with a small amount of hairspray. Do not overdo it: if there is a lot of varnish, the backcomb will look unnatural.

Backcombed hairstyles for long hair

Backcomb with braid

The ideal length of curls required for this hairstyle is to the shoulder blades and below. You can braid any braid - three-strand, French, fishtail, reverse, five-strand, and so on. The main thing is to do the backcombing first.

You can create a romantic hairstyle with two braids and combed hair. To do this you need:

Separate the temporal strands and hair in the crown area from the total mass.
Comb your hair in the crown area, first separating the front strand (it will cover the finished hairstyle at the very end).

Backcomb with bun

For young girls, this styling option is suitable:

Comb your hair all over your head, leaving the front section untouched.
Gather your backcombed hair into a high, not very tight ponytail and secure it with an elastic band. In this case, the front strand should cover the combed hair.
Form a bun from the tail. To do this, divide it into several curls and comb each of them a little from the inside. Then bend the combed strands to the base of the ponytail and secure with bobby pins. The bun should not be tight and slightly tousled.
Spray your hair with hairspray.

Bouffant with curls

If you don't want to leave your long hair loose and straight, in a ponytail, braid or bun, just curl it slightly. Here is an example of a simple hairstyle with curls:

You need to comb your hair on the top of your head, lightly beat it with your fingers and fix it.
Cover with the previously uncombed strand and smooth with a brush.
Tighten the remaining strands a little with an iron or curling iron.
Decorate the hairstyle with a suitable delicate accessory (a flower, a hairpin or a bobby pin with rhinestones) and sprinkle with varnish.

Expert opinion
