Hairstyle of the shell with their own hands

Hairstyle in the form of a cockleshell is one of the most common versions of classic hairstyles. Depending on the laying, it can look and rich, festive, and strictly, elegantly, in a businesslike way. At the same time, the cockleshell's hair is easy to make with your own hands.

Hairstyle of the shell - master class

There are many variations of such a hairstyle, but they usually differ in the details of the styling, the presence or absence of the released strands, napes, ornaments, but, as a rule, the "shell" is always made according to the same pattern.

Consider how to make a hairstyle for the shell itself.

To do this, you will need a hair brush, a usual comb or comb (preferably - rather small) and a comb with a long handle. The first is necessary for thorough combing, the second is for leveling the hair surface, the third is for adjusting and laying individual strands. To fix the hairstyle you will need hairpins, "invisible" and hairspray. For hard, curly, unruly hair, mousse or foam may be needed, for treatment before styling.

How to make a "French shell"?

This version of the hairstyle differs from the classic in that pre-ponytail is not collected:

1. The hair is combed on one side and fixed vertically, from the back of the head to the top of the head, with the help of several long "invisibles".
2. After that, the hair is collected with a wide comb and twisted into a bundle, which is laid over the "invisible".
3. The resulting shell is fixed with pins, and the remaining tail is twisted and tucked inside.
4. For reliability, the hair is fixed with lacquer.

Initially, this hairstyle was considered exclusively evening, but in the modern world, the cockleshell, because of its simplicity and convenience, is often used as a hairstyle for every day. As the evening and festive options usually make more complex variations of it, with the use of naches and additional decorations .
