How often does a client come to you asking for a stylish and modern hairstyle, but it should not be a classic bun, Greek braid or voluminous curls?

We're sure quite often. The Chaikova Hairstyle Academy team has prepared a selection of stylish hairstyles with elements of various weaves and accessories that are perfect for both little girls and stylish ladies, and are also suitable for photo shoots. In addition, such images can be taken into account for prom hairstyles or on the occasion of a wedding celebration.

A hairstyle made from two buns can often be seen in the images of young and stylish girls. We invite you to get acquainted with our version of this modern styling. Let's prepare the hair using a crimp and root hair powder, and for the ends we'll do a light beach curl.

Don’t forget about preparing your hair, as this will make it easier for you to “assemble” your hairstyle in the future, save time and add durability to the styling and reliability of the braiding. We braided two classic French braids inside out, stretching them along their entire length for volume, and formed two textured buns from the ponytails. Add a chain with small links and your bright and modern hairstyle is ready.

The long-forgotten “malvinka” hairstyle takes on new bright colors in combination with fishtail braiding. How to make the “malvinka” hairstyle more interesting? Complete it with subtle braids and accessories: small rings or a silk scarf. Agree, it looks quite interesting, which means your client will definitely not be left without attention.

Weaving around the head is a more difficult task. Weaving two strands inside out is suitable for any event, you just need to choose the shape of the hairstyle. If you let the strands out near your face, the hairstyle will look very airy and the image will be gentle and romantic. If, on the contrary, you pick up the strands, the result will be a more restrained version of the image.

Please note: we added volume at the top of the head and carefully inserted the remaining tail from the braid into the braided braid, making it invisible. Hair tied in ponytails can often be seen on the streets. In our version of the hairstyle, we decorated the two ponytails with a special “twist” in the shape of a figure eight, while pre-preparing the hair: we made beach curls in order to ultimately transform the ponytails into a stylish hairstyle with an element of braiding.

A voluminous ponytail is a favorite hairstyle for those with long hair. How to do it? We lift the crown with the help of two strands directed towards each other, and for more pronounced structural strands-ribs, we recommend using hairpins or skewers that will support the strand until it is finally fixed. We tied the ponytail, pulled it into an airy French braid and decorated it with a stylish black bow made of velvet ribbon.

Parting words from the master:

Don't be afraid to experiment. Any innovations that you saw or wanted to try yourself will definitely be appreciated by your client, since you do not stand still and strive to create new images. Add new elements and thus stand out among other masters.
