Greek braid as a reflection of social status

The enlightenment of the Greeks in philosophy, astronomy, mathematics is amazing, and their desire for high matter causes exceptional admiration. Cultural growth could not ignore the aesthetic component of life: hairdressing was properly developed. The ability to stand out from the crowd motivated the Greeks to experiment: long hair opened up a wide range of possibilities for its owner.

Turning to history, one can stumble upon many interesting facts. Thus, for example, to afford a quality lifestyle in Ancient Greece only a well-to-do person could. For this reason, long, well-groomed hair over time began to be considered a sign of high social status. But they were not at all suitable for work, so the slaves in most cases wore short haircuts.

Where to begin?

First of all, the hairstyle doesn't matter. Greek braid can be braided with any haircut. In cases where the girl has too short hair, you can use artificial strands. The quality of the hair also does not matter.

Before starting work, you need to stock up on all the necessary tools:

Greek braid for medium and long hair

Long hair is a symbol female beauty and health. However, in Lately more and more representatives of the weaker sex are abandoning them in favor of short and practical haircuts. In our age of constant haste, this is a completely justified decision, which in no way deserves condemnation. What is there, some simply do not have long hair, and there is nothing to be done about it. However, the vast majority refuses their luxurious hair because of the hassle that it portends: regular styling, financial costs, long drying.

It just so happened that most people associate this style with long hair. Nevertheless, the Greek braid on medium hair looks just as good. You just need to follow the attached instructions:

No other haircut can provide the same scope for imagination as a Greek braid. How to weave it - the owner decides. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment.

Greek crown

Most girls dream of having long curly hair. Growing them takes a lot of energy. And therefore it is very disappointing when, after achieving this goal, the girl does not want to emphasize the beauty of her hair.

Although if we are not talking specifically about a braid, but in general about a Greek hairstyle, then the length of the hair does not matter for its creation.

What is a Greek hairstyle

Greek hairstyle goes beyond one image. This is a separate style, and within its framework, hairstyles are created similar to those that can be seen on Greek statues. In ancient Greece, not only braids were popular, but also hair designs based on headbands and buns. The Greeks and Greek women were very kind to appearance, including hair, because they associated external beauty with internal beauty, morality and spiritual harmony. A person beautiful in his inner world, in their opinion, should have been just as beautiful on the outside. And, of course, women wanted to be like goddesses, to have the same grace and charm. Great efforts were made to create an attractive image, so the hairstyles of Greek women are a whole work of art. Although the men did not lag behind them in this matter. For example, the “Apollo bow” hairstyle began to be recreated by contemporaries from the statue of Apollo Belvedere, looking at which one cannot doubt his male identity.

In ancient Greece, the same hairstyles with braids were worn by both women and men.

Greek hairstyle has not gone out of fashion for centuries and continues to be relevant today.

What is the peculiarity of the Greek braid

The Greek braid can always be unmistakably identified by some signs.

1. Greek braids should not be braided tightly.
2. The technique is used fish tail».
3. The hairstyle itself is also voluminous, airy.

Technique for creating a Greek hairstyle

Greek hairstyle has many options, from elementary to complex and intricate.

For short hair

If the hair is very short, then, unfortunately, it is unlikely that it will be possible to braid it. But at the same time, you can still maintain the image in the Greek style. To do this, you only need a comb with fine teeth, hairspray and accessories. It can be a headband, bandage or ribbon with a characteristic Greek ornament. Hair needs to be given a voluminous and slightly careless look. To do this, a small pile is made. If the length allows, individual strands can be wound onto a curling iron. From above, directly on the hair, a ribbon is put on. The hairstyle is fixed with hairspray.

Circular braid in reverse

The Greek circular braid is called the Greek crown, because it looks especially majestic and resembles the wreaths that the ancient Greek rulers wore on their heads. In order to make a braid the other way around, you need to use a special reverse weave. You need to take a strand of hair and divide it into two parts. Further, a small strand is separated from the right side and joined to the left side, but not through the top, as is done in classic straight weaving, but through the bottom.

It is convenient to start a circular braid from the left temple. It weaves in a circle, through the forehead area towards the right temple, and then down. In the process of weaving, more and more strands are added to the braid: after a strand of hair from one part of the braid through the bottom has been attached to another part of it, another strand is formed from free hair and also joins through the bottom. By the end of weaving, all hair will be tucked into a braid. The free edge of the braid is fixed with hairpins so that the ends of the hair, as well as the beginning and end of the braid, are not visible. It should give the impression that a wreath is put on the head.

After the braid is braided, you need to slightly stretch the strands

Malvinka

The hairstyle itself is done very quickly, but the Greek style involves preliminary preparation.

1. In Malvinka, the ends of the hair remain free, so they need to be curled. In principle, they can be straight, but this does not correspond to the ideas of the Greek hairstyle, and therefore you still have to spend time curling. It should be done slightly carelessly, for this, the hair is randomly wound on a curling iron, and then a little tousled with fingers.
2. From the occipital region, you need to separate the strand and make a pile. Secure with a thin rubber band.
3. After that, two strands are taken from the temples and superimposed one on top of the other in such a way as to close the elastic band. Each of them must be secured with a hairpin, otherwise the hairstyle will not hold.
4. Then you can take the next two strands and do the same with them: fasten crosswise.

When weaving a malvinka, it is important that each strand is secured with hairpins

Malvinka has many options. For example, a different number of strands can be used to create it. To create an image, you can use accessories.

Malvinka will look especially beautiful on slightly curled hair.

Greek braid on the side

Greek braid on the side - simple hairstyle, which will take no more than 10 - 15 minutes to create.

1. The hairstyle should be lush, so before weaving the braid, the hair needs to be combed well.
2. After giving volume, they are combed to one side.
3. A braid is woven from the bulk of the hair, but a few strands at the forehead and temples must be left free. For braiding, the fishtail technique is used, when the hair is divided not into three, but only into two parts, after which a strand is taken from the first and connected to the second part, and so on.
4. The scythe is straightened by hands. It needs to be made as big as possible.
5. Those strands that remained free are twisted into free flagella and arbitrarily inserted into the braid. With their help, the effect of knock-out strands, characteristic of the Greek style, is created.
6. You need to take invisibility and in several places fix the weaving from the inside, so that this is not visible. Fix hair with varnish.

2. The middle part is gathered into a low tail with an elastic band, after which the end of this tail is shaped into a bun using the so-called hair donut. The structure is secured with pins.

Apollo bow

On the sculpture of Apollo Belvedere, the hairstyle has the shape of a bow, but in our time it has been greatly simplified and transformed, in fact, into an ordinary emphasized careless bun. The original version is no longer made.

In order to make a modern "Apollo bow", you need to curl your hair on curlers or a curling iron and make a bouffant. Then divide the hair into several strands and fix each of them at the back of the head or a little higher, so that the result is a bun. The strands located in the forehead area either remain free or, if their length allows, fall from the parting towards the temples, and only then their ends are also removed into a bun.

To create an "Apollo bow" you will need a lot of hairpins and hairspray, otherwise the hairstyle will not hold its shape.

Accessories and decorations

V Greek hairstyles frequently used accessories. Basically, these are bandages, headbands and ribbons of various widths and configurations. Their great advantage is that they allow you to create a unique image even for girls with short hair. In addition, they are very easy to use. Often the rims have an ornament typical of the Greek style, for example, depicting leaves of laurel, olive and other trees and plants. For the ancient Greeks, such wreaths had a special meaning. Depending on which leaves were used for its manufacture, they served as a symbol of victory, greatness, fun, and even promised marriage.

The ancient Greeks loved to decorate their hair with headbands and ribbons.

Another accessory that first appeared in ancient Greece is the diadem. Initially, it was a simple bandage that priests and rulers adorned their heads with, but gradually it transformed into a design resembling a crown. Currently, the diadem is used to create special, festive hairstyles. V Everyday life she is, of course, inappropriate.

Hairpins and hairpins are indispensable when creating a Greek hairstyle. The Greeks did not know what it was, but we have the opportunity to feel the convenience of these details. Since the braids are not braided tightly, some strand can easily fall out of them, and the bandage can move out of place. To prevent this from happening, you can fix the hairstyle in strategic places.

Greek braids have never lost popularity and to this day not only remain relevant, but occupy a central place among the tools for creating chic holiday hairstyles. For example, most wedding hairstyles are created on the basis of the Greek braid. Of course, for such cases, it is usually modernized, additional elements of weaving and styling, false curls are added to it. But at the core, Greek weaving still remains with the uncomplicated fishtail technique. This is not surprising, because, perhaps, something more elegant and at the same time simple has not been invented so far, and Greek culture for centuries continues to be one of the main sources of beauty and harmony of forms and images. If we are talking about everyday life, then the Greek braid can also be chosen as a hairstyle for every day, because its advantages include versatility, variability, the ability to create many images based on it, each of which will be irresistible.
