History and style features

As the name implies, the birthplace of this trend of hairdressing is Greece. But only not modern, but ancient - Hellas. The one in which people believed in numerous gods, reverently transferring their faith to works of art. This was reflected in the hairstyles as well. The ancient Greek women decorated their heads in the way, in their opinion, the noble and majestic goddesses - Hera, Athena, Artemis did.

At that time, the correct proportions, harmony, and beauty were highly valued. The hairstyle was an indicator of status. The richer it was decorated, the higher the position in society was occupied by a woman. The Greeks were not indifferent to curls, considering straight hair a sign of bad taste. Therefore, the inhabitants of Hellas, as a rule, curled their curls, and then laid them with a bandage. Delicate, feminine, elegant image was obtained due to the main features of hairstyles in the Greek style:

  • straight parting;
  • curly, curly hair;
  • curls falling at the temples;
  • openwork, slightly careless braids;

Who suits

Along with the classic performance in the arsenal of modern beauties, there are other options for hair styling in the Greek style. Women with a round, rectangular, square face will appreciate the option of creating a hairstyle not on a straight line, but on a side parting. Strands released on the sides will mask chubby cheeks or angular shapes. Tight weaving at the crown in combination with curls will suit girls with a triangular or diamond-shaped facial oval.

Despite the fact that the ancient Greek women always left their forehead open, today it is permissible to do Greek styling with bangs. It can be thick, short or elongated, asymmetrical. The last two options are especially relevant for women with "pear", "heart" faces. correct oval shape it is best to emphasize milled or not too long bangs. There are other recommendations as well. For example:

  • oblique bangs are suitable for chubby girls;
  • owners square face- graduated;
  • if the facial oval narrows from top to bottom (for example, it resembles a triangle), you should give preference to oblique and not very long bangs.

What is a hair band? What are they and how to wear them correctly? It seems to be a simple detail, but there are so many nuances. A modest ribbon can decorate even an ordinary hairstyle, and play a major role in an evening dress. Set the style points in any bow, from retro or country to casual or wedding. Fashion designers today regularly come up with new accessories, offering options for long, short curls, for summer or winter, as a styling base or for decoration.

Why wear it

The accessory supports different tasks, helping the hostess to diversify the image in an unusual way. Let's consider it in detail:

  • In sports, she removes strands from the face, helping a person feel comfortable and comfortable.

Interesting fact! Did you know that this element boasts a long past? Many peoples of the world came up with their own alternative. AT Ancient Rus' there was a forehead or kokoshnik, since young maidens could not walk with their heads uncovered. In Egypt, its color reported on mourning or festive events. AT Ancient Greece, and then the Roman Empire, wreaths of flowers, precious metals and pebbles testified to the lady's belonging to the upper class. Feminine styling with buns and loose braids was built with them.

  • In some hairstyles, such as those made in the Greek theme, the little thing plays the role of a "bearing structure". It is on her that the curls are wound with a tourniquet, the tips are hidden under it.
  • In the cold period, it performs a warming function, it can easily replace a hat. There are models knitted from warm woolen threads that protect the head and ears from severe frost and wind.
  • In many retro looks, without it, it is impossible to accurately create the desired effect. For example, in a pin-up look, a flirty and bright scarf on a wire, tied with a narrow strip over curls, with fervently protruding ears, immediately indicates the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe whole outfit.
  • It performs a decorative function. Decorates the girl, adds femininity, romanticism and grace to her.



Varieties and models

A practical accessory allows its owner to quickly create an elegant and sophisticated look. Products can be classified according to different criteria:

  • In size: narrow and wide, in one and two turns.
  • By type of fabric: woolen, fur, knitted, velvet, chiffon, leather, satin.
  • By type of fastening: on an elastic band, on a fastener, on a wire, on a plastic rim, such as a scarf or ribbons on ties.
  • By color: plain, colored, with a gradient, dashed, polka dot, with floral prints, with animal motifs (tiger, leopard, snake, crocodile).

Advice! The product can be used to create wavy curls. To do this, apply styling agent to wet strands. Put the item on your head, and twist the curls around. Form them medium-sized, start from the side of the face. They end with a mop at the back of the head.

To speed up the process, dry your hair with a hair dryer. If time permits, tie a handkerchief and wait 5-6 hours, or do the procedure at night. Such curls are obtained as natural as possible, and their creation is absolutely harmless to the delicate structure of the hairs.

  • By decor: voluminous flower arrangements, ensembles of pebbles, beads, bows, rhinestones and other items.
  • According to the material of manufacture: there are not only textile models. In trend, designer chains that are worn below or above the hairline are attached along the partings. As well as plastic rings, decorative combs and rims, wire structures with intricate designs.


How to wear

Exist different ways socks:

  • If it is heterogeneous, with an elegant and back part, try to fix the decorative side on the forehead, and hide the back under the hairs on the back of the head. Please note that if the item is held on by a tight elastic band, a deep furrow may remain on the skin after removal.
  • Girls with a small forehead are recommended to wear a copy at the beginning of the hairline. So they will open and emphasize the forehead, visually make it bigger.


Note! For a harmonious appearance, in which the advantages are emphasized and the shortcomings of the figure, height and oval of the face are hidden, it is necessary to choose a suitable ribbon. Her low landing is acceptable for a long face and large features. In other cases, it is better to mount the decoration directly on the styling.

  • Models are sold that are worn in two turns. As a rule, they stretch well. With their help, it is easy to fix the bundles, hold the hair in the desired position. They are most often worn over a smooth, loose hairstyle, such as a bob.


  • In vintage bows, fabric rims are attached above the hairline. They look great on high styling. But for an image a la “20s of the XX century”, a modest narrow strip with a spectacular accent in the form of a feather, a brooch, a large flower is fixed on the forehead. In this case, the mop should be perfectly combed to a gloss and not collected.


We select a copy for the length

On long strands, wide models look advantageous. A cute headband will not only decorate the girl, but also streamline the curls in windy weather, while maintaining their laid look. Owners of lush hair with a length below the shoulder blades will suit any type of product. Most importantly, if they are decorated on a large scale, do not forget to coordinate them with the rest of the bow.



For shortened strands, it is better to choose narrow straps, chains, ribbons with one bright accent. It can be a large flower, a buckle, a scattering of sequins or stones. For the image of a “schoolgirl”, remove the entire mop under the fabric rim, up to the bangs, back.


Note to ladies with short locks. Create a light bouffant for volume and leave an artistic mess on the head. Take a leather pigtail and put it on top, pressing the mop in the widest part. To complete the bow, put rings stylized as leather or wood into the earlobes and pick up a dress in the boho-chic genre.


The medium length is a universal solution for simple styling, romantic fluffy buns, braids, plaits and soft waves. An elegant scarf tied with an exquisite knot, an elastic band with an interesting print or appliqué will be a stylish highlight.

How to deal with bangs

The advantage of a hair band is its versatility. Use your imagination and every day you will look different. It is a big mistake to think that this thing does not look good with bangs. If you have it thick and straight, press it down with a narrow elastic band, or cover the upper half with a wide fabric base.

And if you are tired of it, hide it under an elastic textile strip with a spectacular decor or an interesting print.


It is desirable to supplement monochromatic views with one more detail in the image. For example, for a silver thing, pick up a strap on a dress with a matching buckle. Try to combine the red jersey option with the same handbag, gloves or eyeglass frames. But color models require calmness in the design of other accessories.




In the trend, the bangs are twisted into a tourniquet, pulled back and fixed with invisibility. The main mass is slightly relaxed to form a small tubercle and a thin iron or plastic hoop with a voluminous application is put on.

A Greek-style bow is better without bangs. But in the image of a hippie, boho or vintage, it is acceptable elongated and free.

What styles harmonize with

In all popular genres, it is not forbidden to use a hair band. Just keep moderation and remember to combine details.

  • A business image requires strict elements, without flashy accents. Get a discreet hoop, plain ribbon, braided braid. Roman knots are created with them, bangs are removed, and a high ponytail is emphasized.

  • For sports activities an elastic, wide ring of fabric is selected, under which curls are removed from the forehead and nape. In cool weather while jogging, it protects from the wind. The fabric should be breathable and not retain moisture. It is optimal to purchase a little thing from branded sportswear suppliers.
  • In the hippie or boho genres, chains, braided braid, lace, ropes, leather laces are used. The naturalness of materials, the proximity to the naturalness and natural origin of accessories are emphasized. The product is lowered on the forehead and fixed over the ears. The strands are left loose, a weak tail or tourniquet is collected. As an option, create an impromptu browband from your own curls, braided into a voluminous braid.


  • Greek style is the case in which you can’t do without an elastic band. The bow may include a knob at the top of the head, or a horizontal band that gathers around the elastic band. Braids are sometimes woven on the sides, from which strands are released.


  • Did you know that rubber-banded pieces with a flirty bow are currently in trend? They are called "solos". Indeed, they are very similar to the details of the appearance of Gogol's maidens near Dikanka.


  • gizmos for solemn occasion usually skillfully decorated. They look like a real masterpiece. Surely everyone has seen luxurious wreaths of beads, sparkling pebbles, decorated with flowers or other themes. The thinnest threads or chains, openwork braid, lace rims, elegant laces are in demand. They can play not only a design function, but also fix the hairstyle.
  • Wedding pieces never go out of style. Almost every bride gets an elegant wreath or a diadem sparkling with stones to adorn her head. In addition to the fact that the thing delightfully sets off even an ordinary hairstyle, a veil, veil or other elements of the bride's appearance can be attached to it. Some specimens are barely visible. Imagine a thread with snow-white pearls strung on it. Or wide, with a large embroidered picture or a composition of ribbons, buds, petals and other attributes.

Important! A wedding device, especially heavy and voluminous, must be carefully fixed with hairpins or invisible hairpins. Even if it holds tight, do not forget that the bride has an active day ahead, full of eventful events. In order not to catch a ribbon flying in the wind at the wrong moment, instead of posing against the background of marriage rings, take care of its secure fixation.

Options for winter and summer

They differ in fabric texture, design and purpose.

Winter wardrobe is primarily designed to keep warm. It is knitted from woolen yarn, sewn from natural or artificial fur. Another distinguishing feature is the width, which allows you to securely cover the forehead, ears, and a large area of ​​the head.


Most often, winter things have muted, calm colors, without bright colors. The design does not include complex applications. Maximum - rhinestones or medium-sized stones, a brooch, an original knitting pattern.

The summer version has many variations: thick, thin, in the form of a ribbon, chain, lace, ribbon, textile strip, knitted from cotton thread with an openwork pattern, etc. They are decorated according to the author’s intention and imagination and there are no rules or strict norms. Things are worn for beauty, convenience, and also as a fixation.



Accessory based hairstyles

It allows you to create both simple and complex styling at the back, at the crown, on the sides:

  • The ponytail is not the most original idea. But if you add it with a thin rim of knitwear, an intricate shape, it will not look boring at all.
  • Loose hair. Straight or twisted - it does not matter. A spectacular bandage easily forms a romantic look, gives charm and soft femininity.


Advice! In complex designs a la "bird's nest" with high towers of strands and curls, intricate bandages should not be used. Hairstyle and so will attract attention. Most often, the product is not required, because it runs the risk of being lost on general background. The exception is the option in which the forehead and crown are smoothly combed, and the main mop is laid below.

  • Braids, harnesses are tight or relaxed, indistinct contour or even, framed by curls or on a smooth crown. Such an ensemble requires a suitable ribbon with an extraordinary idea. For example, a composition of flowers and air swirls, supposedly arranged in disorder, is always advantageous.


You can buy a fashionable headband today at any store with the appropriate products. With it, you will always be in trend, especially if you learn how to wear it correctly and make original ensembles with the rest of the clothes.
