Afro-hairstyle in modern hairdresser's art

It's great that the times of monotony, standards of beauty, typical patterns and jagged stamps have passed! Well, maybe not quite gone, but in any case, everything goes to this. The word "fashion" is becoming more and more archaic, giving way to such concepts as "good taste" and "own style." Uniqueness in the price, as never before.

These processes have provided a fertile ground not only for the development of new technologies, but also for a return to the sources. And it's not that the new is just a forgotten old, but that ethnic clothing, accessories and jewelry give a huge flight for creativity and imagination. Along with other reviving styles, today the African is becoming very popular. And he occupies his niche not only in the field of creating clothes, shoes and accessories, but also in hairdressing. Afro-hairstyle is gaining momentum of popularity, spreading around the planet with great speed.

African traits in the hairdresser's art

Africa is a truly unique continent. Like a crossbread made from multicolored flaps, he gave the appropriate shoots. Bright colors, natural fabrics, natural material as a basis for jewelry, incredible ornaments and, of course, famous braids and curlers - for all this we thank Africa.

Genetics gives its justification for the popularity of certain hairstyles among immigrants from sunny Africa. Yes, let's say directly, the enviable density and firmness of hair, natural curly and stunning chocolate shades - all this is inherent in the genes of representatives of some peoples. But today an African-hairstyle can become accessible to any person.

It has the following features:

• Spits of any thickness and design;
• Small wave;
• Use of ornaments in ethnol: shells, wooden and clay beads;
• Predominance of natural shades.

Do not think that the hair in any case should be painted black or brown. African style for bright colors!

Curl

In the first place worth mentioning curls. A fine perm is the most common variant of a hairstyle. In this case, it is worn not only by the fair sex, but also by men. As a rule, speaking about the African hairstyle, the masters have in mind a very fine curl that makes hair a huge lush mass.

Scythes

From time immemorial, the inhabitants of Africa braided their hair in pigtails. On the basis of afrokos today make the most diverse female hairstyles. Photo is a wonderful example of how stylish and modern they can look.

Today, many types of African braids are popular, from the "spikelets" adjacent to the head to the longest ones that fly out in the wind. Sometimes the ends of the braids are crowned with small curls.

Today it is difficult to determine who and when first invented braids pigtails. But speaking about them, we often use the definitions of "African braids" or "Afrocos", which emphasizes their distribution and popularity among hairstyles in this style.

Wire harnesses

A new invention, which is often made of artificial strands, is a flagellum of varying thickness and length. Outwardly, they look like braids, but such an African-hairstyle is more difficult to make, requires a certain skill. If you decide to make the tourniquets - be prepared to pay the master more than you would give for pigtails. The bundles are folded from two parts, not three. For practicality and durability, African hairstyles with bundles are not inferior to braids.

Dreadlocks

Today, dreadlocks are associated with many styles. Once they liked the hippies, today with pleasure are representatives of a variety of subcultures. But if we talk about the origins, the influence of Africa is undeniable. That there is only Bob Marley with his mind-boggling hairstyles, a rastaman beret and a white-toothed smile in half a face!

Once the weaving of dreads was equivalent to the signing of the death sentence to the hair. It is almost impossible to restore them after weaving upgrown dreadlocks. Today, often used artificial materials that allow you to save hair.

Dreadlocks allow you to make a variety of women's hairstyles, photos of which amaze with brilliance and beauty. Hairdressers look at them differently, we will tell directly: they like far not to all. And some indecisive mods remain secret admirers of dreadlocks, not daring to try this hairstyle on themselves. In fact, dreadlocks go to people with any skin color, any age and sex.

Afropricheka own hands

It happens that the time for radical changes has not come, but the soul asks for something new. Is it worthwhile in such cases to experiment with a chemical wave or even more so - with weaving dreads, bundles, braids? Of course not, the effect of these procedures will last a long time, and they cost a lot.

If you are going to a themed party in the African style or you want to change the image during your vacation, do not step in the direction of global changes in appearance.

Use the old proven method: weave a few small braids for a night from wet hair, brush them with wax, and on the next morning carefully disassemble them. Such a hairstyle will perfectly last from one to three days.

To create a more effective effect, you can use accessories. To an African-hairstyle looked more expressive and brighter, it can be weaved into an artificial boring or even a few. These are special hair accessories, reminiscent of dreadlocks woven from multi-colored threads.

You can emphasize the style and hairpins with ethnic design made of clay, wood, sea shells or leather.
