How to make fleece: the easy way

For a simple comb at home, you just need a comb and a hair dryer. Let's take a look at the easiest way to brush the top of your head yourself.

Before starting to create a comb, it is recommended to wash your hair so that the hair is lighter, it is known that dirty hair is harder, therefore it is much more difficult to create any beautiful hairstyle. We also note in advance that wet strands should not be combed in any case due to the fact that at this moment they are most sensitive, you simply risk pulling out half of your hair;
For the correct comb of hair, it is recommended to take a comb with frequent, but not sharp teeth;
We start combing from the roots of the hair, gradually moving towards the ends. We take a small lock on the top of the head and comb it, moving against the growth of the hair (at a distance of literally 10-15 cm) to the roots. Note, if you want to get a very lush hair, then reduce the distance of the treated area from 10-15 cm to 5-7;
Thus, the strand is combed from the roots to about the middle of the hair;
Comb, as in paragraph 3, a few more strands that come from the roots, but leave 2-3 strands intact, they will be needed to mask the fleece;
Tip: if you want to get a hairstyle that is resistant to weather conditions, then take thin strands for the fleece, a maximum of 1 cm, and after the fleece lightly sprinkle with varnish;
After you have combed all the strands you need, arrange them as you planned. You can take those two uncombed strands and close the fleece with them, then you will get a simple high hairstyle that is suitable for almost any situation. Further, you can make a ponytail with a fleece from the resulting high hairstyle, and if you have a thin neck, then such a hairstyle will look perfect.

So, combing for short hair is sometimes even easier to make than for long hair, and you don't have to bother with a hairstyle, just put on a headband or some other beautiful accessory.

1) Here we need: a round large brush, a hair dryer, large diameter electric tongs, a fixing agent (if you want to keep your hairstyle) and hair foam;

2) First, apply foam or mousse to slightly damp hair. We take a strand from the top of the head and wind it on the brush, slowly go through the entire length, simultaneously drying the hair with a hairdryer;

3) We take the same strand with which we worked in step 2, and wind it on the electric tongs, make sure that each time you wind the strands in one direction - down;

4) We proceed to the very comb. We start with the strands at the top of the head, then comb the strands on the sides. The hair in the back of the head can be left intact, it will still not be visible, and besides, it is too short for combing.

5) After brushing, sprinkle hair with varnish so that the volume remains fixed for a long time. Next, gently smooth your hair with a comb.

6) We decorate the hairstyle with any accessory and process the bangs, if any. Ready!

Brushed hairstyles immediately evoke an association with something vintage, in the style of the 60s. And it is not surprising, because it was in the 60s of the last century that the famous French actress Brigitte Bardot appeared with a pile on her hair in the film Babette Goes to War. Now it becomes clear why the most popular brushed hairstyle is called "babette". Yes, thanks to the fame of the beautiful Bridget, this styling has become so popular. Even now, stylists and designers are happy to use bouffant to create fashionable looks.

But combed hairstyles are not limited to "babette", because with the help of this technique, you can add volume to even thin hair and get a stylish and, most importantly, durable hairstyle that is not afraid of even the wind.

Benefits of brushed hairstyles:

They add volume and splendor to any hair type;
Using this technique, you can create the basis for complex evening hairstyles;
The fleece can keep its shape for a long time;
With the help of fleece, you can correct the shape of the face and even add height;
Combing can be done on hair of any length
These hairstyles are not difficult to perform, and you can do them yourself.

Types of combed hairstyles

This type of styling is not limited to the familiar "babette". There are many beautiful and simple hairstyles that are decorated with bouffants of various types.

Let's start with the “progenitor” of this genre in hairstyles. In the film, the actress appeared with a high hairdo with a pile from the bangs itself. Such styling later became her trademark, and all combed hairstyles began to be called "Babette". But the charming Bridget herself preferred a slightly different option than in the film - with a fleece on the top of her head and loose hair, like a "malvina" with loose strands on her face and a voluminous crown.

It is this type of hairstyle that is often repeated by fashion designers and stylists, trying to show the luxury of thick curls of models. It is not difficult to make such a hairstyle, it is great for growing bangs, and the strands near the face can be left free or tucked into a pile. Such styling with a ribbon in the hair looks very cute and feminine.

The popular version of the tail with a voluminous crown fell in love with fashionistas for its beauty and ease of implementation. This hairstyle is suitable for long hair and shows luxurious hair in all its glory. You can make a high ponytail with a little fleece from the bangs or forehead. Or add a lower tail on the back of the head with a voluminous crown. Now in fashion, a slight negligence and a piled ponytail are just suitable for such a style. All that is needed is to comb the hair over the ponytail and then tie the hair in a loose ponytail, not worrying about loose strands and light shaggy.

This hairstyle option was loved by wedding stylists for the opportunity to complement the styling with a beautiful tiara or hair clip. A low bun can be smooth, curls, or slightly sloppy. A bouffant is performed over it, starting from the forehead or shifting the volumetric part slightly to the back of the head. The hair raised in the front of the head allows for a good fixation of the jewelry and veil. You can wear this hairstyle in everyday life, but without catchy hairpins and shiny jewelry.

This elegant hairstyle was shown to us by the adorable Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Smooth bouffant over the forehead, combined with a high bun and a catchy tiara made this styling option suitable for many evening looks. Moreover, such a hairstyle adds height, opens the neck and makes facial features more expressive. Recently, a more popular option is a carelessly laid high bun, with a fleece that captures the bangs or strands at the forehead.

A bold, catchy and very spectacular hairstyle in a rocker style was worn by Kim Kardashian, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba and many other celebrities. Despite the seeming simplicity, this styling always attracts the eye and makes the image sexy and defiant. To create it, you need to remove the hair from the temples up, and comb the strands in the middle of the head from the forehead, forming a kind of "mohawk". This hairstyle is done on perfectly smooth and straightened hair.

Another favorite variation of hairstyles for wedding stylists is the brushed shell. This style is ideal for straight and smooth hair, emphasizing its structure. It also goes well with straight and oblique bangs. It is created in the same way as the usual "shell" hairstyle, only then at the crown of the head the strands are pulled out of the hairstyle for more volume. If you need a large fleece, then you can put a special roller under the strands.

The fleece is good because it is suitable for hair of any length, well, except that only the shortest "boyish" haircuts with short strands cannot be combed. For example, if we are talking about a short haircut with long bangs, then long strands at the forehead can be wrapped back, combed and tufted. Or make a voluminous side bangs, laying the strands in a chaotic mess. You can also add volume to the hair at the crown.

For bob and bob haircuts, you can always comb the top of the head, adding volume to the back of the head and thereby highlighting the bangs or side strands. If there are no bangs, then you can separate one strand from the forehead, comb it and roll a bagel or make a "mohawk" in the style of glam rock.

Options for creating brushed hairstyles

We offer several options for step-by-step instructions for creating brushed hairstyles for different hair lengths.

Option number 1 - bouffant on the crown

Part a section of hair at the crown, leaving a thin section from the forehead and side strands on the sides of the face.
Comb the center at the base with a fine-toothed comb.
Twist it into a not tight bagel, twisting the flagellum from the hair in a spiral.
Secure the bundle with hairpins at the top of the head.
Take a section of hair from your forehead and comb it lightly as well.
Cover the top bun with the front section of your head and smooth your hair with a comb.
Pull the side strands of hair together at the base of the back fleece, covering it on the side.
Secure the strands with bobbins to match your hair.

Option number 2 - bouffant with a high beam

Temporarily curl your hair in a bun at the front and secure with an elastic band.
Tie the hair at the back of your head into a high ponytail and tie it with a tight elastic band.
From this tail, make a sloppy bun, not tightly wrapping the strands around the elastic, and secure it with hairpins.
From the mass of hair left in the front, separate the side strand above the ear, comb it well for smoothness and bring it back under the bun. Fasten the remaining tip on the other side with invisible ones and hide its ponytail in a bun.
Repeat the same on the other side.
Now take part of the hair from the front, comb it and style it over the forehead, directing the tip of the strand towards the bun. Hide the ends of the hair at the base of the bun.
Repeat combing the rest of your hair.
Smooth the fleece with a wide-toothed comb and smooth out the strands beautifully in the bun.

Option number 3 - brushed tail

Roll your hair in a curler or curling iron.
Divide your hair into two uneven sections - about 1/3 of the hair in the front and 2/3 in the back.
Twist the hair in the front part into a bun and secure with a hair clip - so as not to interfere.
Gather the remaining hair in a ponytail at the back of your head or crown. If your hair is short, you can attach a chignon.
Now the hair must be combed in front, forming a voluminous crown. Each strand is combed with a comb at the base.
Then all the strands in the fleece are directed back to the tail and smoothed with a comb.
At the base of the tail, the strands are fixed with invisibility, securing the fleece.
If desired, the strands from the fleece can be gently pulled out with your fingers, forming an even greater volume.

Any celebration and party or even a birthday can be a great occasion to create a new, stylish look. Stylish outfit, comfortable shoes, accessories - all this is unthinkable without an original and suitable hairstyle. What style should be chosen for owners of long hair? What evening hairstyles with a pile for long hair can you make yourself?

There is a huge amount of styling for long hair, because such strands are a great reason for imagination and original solutions. Today, among all this variety, hairstyles with a fleece for long hair stand out, which not only visually make the styling voluminous, but also give the image a special become and sophistication.

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

When girls want not only to change their image, but to come up with something unusual and at the same time not visit a beauty salon and a professional stylist, then it is worth trying at home to do hairstyles with a fleece for long hair. The fleece itself is a hidden "construction" of hair, which is done solely in order to visually increase the density of the strands, the volume of the entire hairstyle. Although this is an effective way to proportionally increase the styling, the procedure is quite harmful: it is very difficult to comb the hair after combing. That is why it is recommended to do such a design on the head as rarely as possible, for example, for a very important celebration, a special event.

How to do combed hairstyles for long hair?

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

So, creating volume is a long procedure, especially when it comes to long hair. To make a bouffant, which was then actually combed, you need to perform a series of actions, according to the instructions.

To create the very fleece on your hair you need:

Comb the strands thoroughly (you need to do the volume only on clean, freshly washed hair).
Divide the hair into two parts: one to create a fleece, the second to close it on top.
Usually, the front strands are separated and pinned for a while with a hairpin so that they do not interfere and do not get tangled.
One small strand of hair is taken and combed carefully.
Lightly apply mousse to the selected strand.
It is required to pull the strand up, and, taking a ruler with sparse teeth, begin to "comb" the hair in the opposite direction, starting from the roots. On long hair, the fleece should occupy ¼ of the total length (near the roots). To keep the fleece, you need to fix the result with a copious amount of hairspray.
Carry out all of the above points with each strand.
To make the styling beautiful, the previously pinned upper strands are taken, carefully combed and applied over the fleece to hide sloppy shapes.
The entire hairstyle is fixed with varnish.

Since long hair is quickly drawn out, then any volume, curls can easily fall off. To avoid this, you need to do the bouffant on the thinnest strands. The more of them, the longer the volume on the hair will last.

What to combine with bouffant? Suitable options, stylish styling

When choosing a suitable styling option, special attention should be paid to braids. It is the combination of fleece with various kinds of weaving that always looks feminine and elegant. It is worth considering in more detail how such a hairstyle is done with a fleece for long hair. The step-by-step instructions will help you avoid mistakes and make the perfect styling for a party or celebration.

Voluminous braid, fleece - the perfect combination for long hair

Braid + fleece is the most popular combination. Her shape looks especially gorgeous, because the pride of every girl is a large braid. In this case, in order to combine two such elements, you just need to correctly form the fleece.

Comb the hair thoroughly and divide it in two along the horizontal parting. Fasten the bottom with an elastic band so that it does not get messed up and does not interfere.
Taking the top strand and also dividing it into two parts (in a ratio of one to three), you need to remove the most extreme part of the hair from above and start combing the bottom strand.
The bouffant in this place must be made as large as possible. It should be ¼ of the entire hair length. You need to do it according to the previously stated instructions.
After that, you need to fix the fleece so that you get a "mound" on the head. On top, you need to fix the previously removed upper strands.
All hair that is on top of the fleece must be carefully combed and the result fixed with varnish.
After that, all the hair in the lower part at the back of the head is released from the elastic band.
On each strand, you need to comb at the roots - 3 or 4 cm.
It remains only to weave the outer braid from the hair. The reverse braid, used in this case, ideally hides the "chaos" from the fleece, but at the same time looks even more voluminous and larger.
The resulting result must also be fixed with hairspray.

Wedding hairstyle with fleece

It is easiest to choose hairstyles with a fleece for long hair for a wedding, because it is for such a case that the largest number of styling has been invented. For example, bouffants with a bun are considered popular. Such hairstyles with a fleece for long hair look very feminine. Photos of many owners of such styling prove that such hairstyles are very comfortable and beautiful and are suitable for evening celebrations, for a wedding.

A bun with a fleece - a neat and convenient styling option

In such a styling, the principle of creation coincides with a hairstyle where there is a braid, only a small part of the instructions changes.

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

Brushed tails - fast, stylish and comfortable

For those who appreciate comfort in movement, do not like bulky styling even on long hair, a collected hairstyle for long hair was specially created. A brushed ponytail is the fastest styling option. The process of creating it does not take much time, and the instruction itself is not as long as many expect.

Step-by-step instructions for the "brushed ponytail" hairstyle

To make a pile on the tail, you need:

Comb your hair and divide it horizontally into two parts. Stab the bottom for a while.
Divide the upper strand into three parts: remove the side strands, and the strand that will be in the middle should be divided into two more strands.
Working on the bouffant on the middle strand at the crown. The one that seems to be lower is exposed to abundant pile. The more of it (preferably on thin strands), the longer the hairstyle will last.
The made fleece is fixed with mousse and varnish.
The upper middle strand is superimposed on top of it. Pre-brushed smoothly.
All hair is gathered in a ponytail at the top of the head: both side and bottom and strands with a pile.
The tail is fixed with an elastic band or hair clip.
In the tail itself, strands are selected, and a bouffant is also done right at the base of the elastic along the entire perimeter.
To make the tail look neat, comb the topmost hair on the tail superficially, without affecting the structure of the fleece itself.
Fix the result with hairspray.

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

Recently, such a fast, simple and reliable way to add volume to the hairstyle, as a pile of hair, has returned to fashion. Many people think that such a hairstyle from the side looks bulky and unnatural. However, they are mistaken, since the modern technique of combing implies the most gentle methods, gives the hair smoothness, lightness and shine and promotes their rapid growth, due to the fact that when creating a hairstyle, the scalp is massaged and the nutrition of the hair follicles is improved.

To make the bouffant beautiful:

The main conditions for creating a spectacular bouffant at home are:

Performing work on clean hair;

Correct selection of combed hairstyles in accordance with face shape and hair type;

Correct selection of the necessary tools and materials;

Correct work technique.

Preparing the hair

Before starting work on combing the hair, wash it well with shampoo or conditioner balm and let it dry on its own, or dry it with a hair dryer. It is impossible to comb wet hair, as this entails their fragility and split ends.

Choosing a hairstyle

Choosing the right hairstyle is the main factor in achieving the maximum effect from the bouffant. So, the fleece on the top of the head accentuates the height of the hairstyle, and the fleece of the side strands, bangs and the fleece of hair along the entire length draws attention to the shape of the face and is able to significantly transform it. Therefore, an excessively high hairstyle that opens the forehead is not recommended for ladies with a narrow face profile and a high forehead, but loose hair with a pile on the crown, slightly raising it, is suitable for most women, regardless of face shape.

Long hair

If you have long hair and you just want to raise it at the base, then you need to comb some of the strands at the base by a quarter of the entire length. When adding volume to long hair, it is enough to just comb the ends. If you want to add puffiness to your hairstyle from long hair or if your hair is short, then combing your hair along the entire length will ideally help.

To perform a beautiful pile, you must have the following tools and materials:

1) combs with fine, frequent teeth (for combing hair strands), with rare teeth on a long thin handle (for separating strands from each other);

2) a massage brush with soft natural bristles (for combing the created fleece and styling it into your hair);

3) mousse and hairspray.

Well, and of course, the most important condition is a competent technique for performing hair combing work.

How to make a bouffant correctly

1) The first step is to remember that the fleece from long hair, styled into a hairstyle, under its own weight, can go away very quickly. Therefore, at the beginning of work, such hair must be treated with styling mousse.

2) Before starting the procedure, it is necessary to separate the top layer of hair with a thickness of 2-3 mm to 1 cm, depending on their length and density, which should not be combed, since it then covers the finished hairstyle, giving it a natural look.

In no case are we trying to comb the hair along the entire length at once. Advancement should be slow and gradual: after combing one section of hair, we proceed to the next, rising higher.

If you want to make a bouffant that will last a long time, and also if your hair is thick and thick, you need to fix each combed strand with hairspray. If the hair is thin and soft, then fixation with varnish is optional.

Fixing the result

When all the strands are combed, you need to comb the hair back with smooth, gentle movements to give the hairstyle the required shape using a comb with soft bristles. Then we cover the created bouffant with an untouched layer of hair, separated at the very beginning, and fix the hairstyle with varnish. At the same time, to make it look natural, we do not use strong fixation varnish.

Hair care after combing

Finally, a few tips for women who do bouffant. Firstly, it is not worth doing it too often, since the hair loses its strength and becomes brittle and dull, and, secondly, you do not need to go to bed with combed hair, as it will get tangled and it will be difficult to comb it later. To do this, before going to bed, you need to wash your hair with balm, wait for it to dry, and comb it correctly.

Fashionable hair colors and shades

The bouffants, which for a long time remained outside the fashionable ship, are confidently returning positions. This fact is not surprising, because stylists specializing in creating fashionable hairstyles have not yet come up with a faster, simpler and more reliable way to give the styling volume and the required shape.

Of course, we are not talking about bulky and completely unnatural bouffants from the 80s, which spoiled the hair, and looked too pretentious and grotesque. Modern fashion is heading towards naturalness, which must be taken into account when creating a bow. Now the technique of combing the bouffant is based on gentle techniques, and the result of hair manipulation is a stylish and elegant hairstyle in retro style, rockabilly or a completely modern ponytail.

However, girls often complain that the bouffant looks beautiful only in the first hour after the hair has been styled, and literally in the middle of the day or a gala evening, the hair looks sloppy and unnatural. Let's figure out how to comb your hair correctly, and how the possible harm from such styling is minimized.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a simple brushed hairstyle

The main rules for creating a fleece

The bouffant should be done on fresh hair, so wash it thoroughly before combing it. Dirty hair won't hold its shape even with a variety of styling products. Remember: it is best to comb hair that has dried naturally, or blow-dry it using heat protection beauty products to minimize harm.

If you comb wet hair, this will sooner or later lead to increased fragility, deterioration of hair quality and split ends. A beautiful image can be created only if the fleece matches the shape of the face, the structure of the hairstyle and the type of hair. For example, with the help of a fleece on the top of the head, you can focus on the height of the hairstyle.

The fleece visually lengthens the oval of a round face, especially in the case of an open forehead without bangs and smoothly combed side strands laid in a tail. For an elongated face, fleece will go more over the entire head, focusing on the frontal area. Girls with a heart-like face should abandon high bouffants on the crown, laying only the middle part of the hair.

The backbone should match your face shape and hair type

Owners of long hair often complain that heavy strands do not hold their shape well. However, they can be raised slightly at the roots with a light fleece. If root volume is your goal, it is best to comb from the base of the head to ¼ of the length of the hair.

What tools and products do you need for fleece?

To perform a beautiful bouffant, it is worth stocking up on such means:

hair dryer with air flow temperature regulation;
natural bristle brush;
a comb with frequent small teeth, which is needed to comb individual strands;
a rare wooden comb with a long handle, convenient for separating curls;
a massage brush made from natural materials to smooth combed hair and style it;
mousses and hair sprays, so that the fleece keeps the required shape for a long time.

Spray with a strong level of fixation will help to fix the fleece on the hair.

Fleece technique

The procedure for creating a bouffant is simple. To impress others with a stylish hairstyle, it is enough to adhere to simple recommendations:

to begin with, dry your hair using a hairdryer and a brush, or simply with your head down. Streams of warm air must be directed against the natural growth of the hair. We dry brittle and dry hair naturally so as not to expose it to additional stress;
dry hair is treated with a light mousse for fixing, so that the hair does not lose its shape during the day. The mousse should be distributed along the entire length, not forgetting about the root zone;
before combing the strands, you need to separate the uppermost layer of hair (about 1-2 cm) - it will be needed to cover the bouffant made and ensure the hairstyle is natural and natural;
the rest of the strands are combed smoothly and neatly, moving a comb with frequent teeth from the ends to the base of the head;
do not try to cover the entire length of the strand at once. Hair needs to be combed in stages, covering a piece 4-5 centimeters long at a time;
do not bouffant on the ends. The separated strand must be pulled out at right angles to the head, and then combed, starting from the roots. The teeth of the comb should not penetrate the hair through and through, but only fluff the inner part of the strand;
long strands should be gradually fixed with varnish;
after the end of combing the hair, they must be smoothed with a soft brush, laying in the required way. Then the fleece is covered with the upper strands, and the hairstyle is fixed with varnish;
before going to bed, the hair should be lubricated with a balm, after a few minutes, rinse it off with cool water, let the hair dry naturally, and then gently comb, moving from the ends to the roots. If the fleece was light, you can use a spray to make it easier to comb through your hair. Sleeping with fleece is not recommended, as this will lead to increased hair fragility. In addition, during sleep, the hair will become even more tangled and it will be very difficult to comb it in the morning.
