Retro style
Cold wave - hairstyle mainly on short or medium hair. It is somewhat more difficult to make it on long strands, but it is also possible. This hairstyle appeared in pre-war time of the last century. In the classic version has a side parting and strands combed on one side.
The cold wave was very popular with the generation of our grandmothers. Then the hairstyle was used as everyday. Today it is used mainly as a holiday.
At first glance it seems that making such curls is rather difficult. But after all, at the time of the appearance of hairstyles, girls had to perform it without the use of modern styling tools. Flatirons, curling irons, mousses, varnishes — all this was a great luxury, inaccessible to anyone, and some of the tools were not at all.
In the original, the cold wave does not involve the use of any hot styling tools. Make it easy enough at home.
To make a haircut, you need a styling tool, a comb with frequent teeth, hairpins, and water for wetting the strands.
Hollywood styling
This hairstyle stitched from the TV screens in the middle of the last century. She is just like a cold wave has a side parting, her hair stacked on one side. Looks good on medium and long hair.
The principles of laying the Hollywood wave are somewhat different from the cold. In order to make light Hollywood waves you need a curling iron, clamps, styling tools, a comb with large teeth.
Free style
Unlike the hairstyles described above, the beach curls do not imply a hair-to-hair styling. Beach waves create an image of lightness, ease of freedom, naturalness. Ideally, beach styling looks like its owner has recently bathed in the sea, her hair has not fully dried out, and the warm breeze has slightly disheveled it. You can make a parting, carelessly combing light curls on one side.

Beach waves - hairstyle, which involves light, free bends. Long or short strands do not matter. To do it, you need an iron or hairdryer, a means for fiction. The head should not be too clean, it is better to do the hair on the second day after washing your hair.
Making a cold wave
Before you start creating hairstyles, you must prepare the hair, make it more elastic.
Prepare a decoction of flaxseed. On low heat for fifteen to twenty minutes, boil five to six teaspoons of flax seeds in one liter of water. Before the start of styling, the hair is sprinkled with a decoction of flax and combed with a comb comb-comb with rare and frequent teeth. The root zone is held with the left hand, and the right one is combed: first with rare, then with frequent teeth. Formed locks comb with frequent teeth.
Regardless of the length of the strands, the classic version of such styling is not changed, the differences lie only in the completion of styling depending on the length of the hair.
Step by Step Instructions
- Formation of the first wave. A wide strand is treated at once from two sides. They start from the side in which direction the installation will fall, otherwise the curves will be curved.
- Three to four centimeters recede from the roots and press the combed strand with the middle finger of the left hand.
- A comb with frequent teeth is inserted into the hair so that it fits tightly against the finger and is parallel to it. The captured strand is shifted to the side by one - one and a half centimeters, sliding the comb in the same plane.
- The comb is tilted to itself about 45 degrees, without taking it out of the hair. At the same time, the hair is pressed between the comb and the bend of the wave, the line of which will be between the fingers, with the index finger of the left hand.
- Comb the hair below the index finger of your left hand and proceed to the left side of the strand. Three to four centimeters recede from the base of the root zone, as well as to the right, and press with the middle finger of the left hand. A comb is inserted into the hair and moved to the right until it encounters an already formed crown (the most extreme point of the wave).
- The wave is combined by bending the pick of the comb to itself at 45 degrees.
- Formation of the second wave line. Starting from the left side of the strand, departing three or four centimeters from the first line, hold the hair with the middle finger of your left hand.
- The comb is inserted into the strand close to the finger and moved to the left.
- The wave is clamped by the index finger of the left hand, then the manipulations are repeated on the right side of the strand.
- The result is a wave bounded by the upper and lower crowns. The hairbrush moves in the direction of the wave that forms. The number of lines and waves is determined by the length of the hair,
- Formation of the last wave: the last crowns are created, and instead of combing down the length of the hair, the strand is sent in the direction in which it would be necessary to send the comb for the final wave formation.
What do you need for styling?
In the era of the appearance of hairstyles with cold waves, the choice of clips, combs and styling was extremely limited, therefore for laying you need a minimum of funds:

Birth ondulation
With the advent of the twentieth century begin to occur significant changes in the fashion world. Scientific discoveries and technical progress had a great influence on them. Paul Poiret, the famous fashion designer from France, abolished the corsets. And this in those days was considered a great courage. Poiret also decided to make women's dresses a little shorter. Yes, it was not mini-dresses, only ankles were opened, but still. The shortened clothes were immediately reflected on short hair.
In France, in 1922, she saw the world the story "The Boy", written by Victor Margheritt. Immediately fashionable becomes the style of a girl-boy with an angular female figure. In the late 1920s, the “garcon” was modified into a more feminine styling: the hair is cut short and scrupulously curled, laying it in magnificent waves. This was undulation, or, as it is called today, the “Wave” hairstyle (retro).
Undulation as it is
Hairstyle retro "Waves" from time to time back into fashion. After all, laying with the shafts that frame the face, gives the lady femininity, valued at all times.
There are two methods by which you can create waves in retro style. These are hot and cold ways. This type of installation will be considered famous undulation, or the “Marseille wave”. The second name was given in honor of Marcel Grato - the creator of the piling.
The ideal hairstyle "Wave" retrostyle exactly must imitate the shape of the shaft: crest-trough and further similar alternation. Laying should be held without the use of clamps. Mr. Grato created just such a wave. But today the requirements for this hairstyle are not so strict.
"Marseilles Wave"
Retropicheskie are always at the peak of popularity. Hairstyle waves in retro style, which is called "Marseilles Wave", was relevant in the 1920s. Such styling is perfect for creating an evening classic look and will demonstrate to all the people around them the excellent taste of its owner.
To create it, it is necessary to prepare curlers with a large diameter, a frequent comb, spray-thermal protection and hairspray, a hairpin.
So, first of all it is necessary to make a side parting. Then we pin a wide strand of hair with a barrette.
We treat the whole hair with a thermoprotective spray. Screw curls in the direction of the face. It is necessary to try to make tight curls. Otherwise, the hair "Wave" (retro) will not work.
After all the hair will be twisted, they should be sprinkled with varnish, providing a suppressive fixation. Then comb the hair with a comb. The contours of the future styling will be noticeable. The tight curls gradually give way to soft waves.
The tips of fully combed hair are recommended to twist down. The last step is to fix the hairstyle with hairspray.
Cold retrofile
Retro hair "Waves" can be created by another method. For its construction, you will need to move a thin comb in front of the index and middle finger of your left hand, which indicates the direction of the wave. The resulting bend is fixed with your fingers.
Cold undulation is carried out on a thoroughly washed head. Means for laying braids are applied gradually, placing particular emphasis on the roots. Each hair from root to tip must be soaked in such a composition.
After the retainer is applied, the hair is carefully combed with a thin comb. Side parting is most suitable for cold wave creation. On the side of the head, on which there is more hair, there should be from five waves, where there are less braids, from three.
Hot waves
Consider another way to make a retro-hair "Waves" hot method. To do this, you will need necessarily hot tongs and a comb. Waves are made due to the gradual displacement of forceps from the hair roots to their tips. But the forceps at this time should change their location: under the strand and above it.
So, separate the strand braid and comb it. Hot tongs are placed near the roots so that under the strand is the surface that heats up. We hold the curl in this position for several minutes, but do not forget while combing the remaining strand of braid in the direction of the next shaft.
The next wave is created by hot tongs, the heated surface of which is already located above the strand. The remaining waves are created in the same way as the previous two.
No matter how the wave “Wave” is created, the girl with her will be irresistible!
