Lush and voluminous hairstyles have always been fashionable. And it was almost always possible to create them using backcombing. Nowadays, almost all coiffures, be it braids or curls, styling or a ponytail, are based on combed strands. However, there is an opinion that this procedure is unsafe for hair, and thus can damage its structure. This will not happen if you approach the process of creating a hairstyle correctly.

How to make a bouffant - step by step instructions

But the main reason for failed experiments with backcombing is the inability to do it correctly.

Preparatory stage

Before backcombing, you should wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo, because... On dirty hair, the bouffant will last no more than a couple of hours. Dry your hair, and it is advisable to do this in a natural way, without the use of a hair dryer, after which the condition of the hair may worsen.

To create a high and beautiful backcomb, use a comb with mild teeth. For backcombing as a base hairstyle will suit comb with narrow and frequent teeth.

It will be good if you always have a comb with a long handle that becomes thinner at the end. With its help, it will be convenient to separate the strands and comb them right away.

Sequence of actions when forming a pile

1. Comb your hair thoroughly.
2. You should separate the small top strand - we won’t comb it. It will become a kind of “veil”, covering the tangled curls. This way your hair will look neat and well-groomed.
3. Now, selecting small strands at a time, comb them, making movements from the ends to the roots of the hair. This should be done smoothly, avoiding sudden gestures, otherwise you can damage the structure of the curls.
4. The main mistake made by most beauties who do bouffant hair is trying to comb the strands along their entire length at once. This is fundamentally wrong.

But how to do the bouffant correctly?

1. The comb should be moved along the designated zones of each strand. Let's say divide each strand into end, middle and root parts. And start moving, combing the curls first at the ends, then moving to the middle third, and then at the roots of the hair.
2. If you have long and thick hair, then you can backcomb it only on the top of your head. To make the style last longer, spray hairspray over the combed strand.
3. Once you're done, take a wide-tooth comb (ideally a natural bristle brush, again to avoid damaging your hair) and comb your hair back. At the same time, do not try to comb them, you just need to lay them in the right direction.
4. Now it’s the turn of our strand, which we prepared in advance. Cover the entire surface of the pile with it.
5. Fix the hairstyle with hairspray (medium hold - to make the styling look more natural).

• You can’t backcomb hair on damp, and even less so on wet, strands. This way, the hair scales will open up even more, making the curls more vulnerable to mechanical stress.
• Don't overdo it with styling products - they will weigh your hair down and make it less manageable.
• The bouffant is, of course, beautiful in itself, but still do not overuse it: you should not comb your curls every day. This will make them brittle and lifeless.
• Do not comb the ends of your hair. It is necessary to retreat at least 5 cm.

Who is suitable for combed hairstyles?

Of course, backcombing gives volume to the hair, and girls with a round face should take this into account. By combing the top at the roots, chubby ladies will be able to visually lengthen their face shape, bringing it as close as possible to the ideal oval.

1. For rectangular type Facial stylists recommend backcombing at the roots throughout the entire volume of hair.
2. “Triangles” will benefit from backcombing on loose curls. Thus, they harmonize the proportions of the lower and upper parts of the face.
3. Ladies with an oval are, as usual, the luckiest. Whatever type of combing they have in mind, everything will suit them.
4. Those with a round face are advised to comb their curls at the very roots. This will help visually lengthen the oval of the face.
5. Women with a square face should lift their hair along its entire length.
6. Those with a triangular face shape should be careful when creating a backcomb, because the situation will only get worse if you lift the hair at the roots. For such women, stylists recommend combing only the ends to visually expand the lower part of the face.
7. You can comb your hair in any way for women with oval faces, because in this case all hairstyles will look good.

Tools, tools and basic principles

First of all, experts focus on the fact that not everyone understands the difference between backcombing and blunting, as a result of which the replacement of these concepts leads to incorrect styling. What does each of these words mean?

• Bouffant- dense and abundant beating of the strands, carried out from all sides and along the entire length. Thus, a smooth curl turns into a kind of thick “pillow”, significantly reduced in length, but increased in volume.
• Tuping- one-sided or partial backcombing, produced only with inside or at the root, no more than half the thickness of the strand, which leaves it smooth on the outside. Casual undone hairstyles typically use a blunt at the top of the head to create the illusion of natural volume at the roots.

Despite such ancient history This method of collecting hair and adding volume to the hair, properly done backcombing is especially popular today. With its help, you can get the perfect volume and style your hair beautifully no worse than Hollywood divas. However, the correct execution of this trick requires some skill. The instructions in this article will tell you how to do the bouffant yourself, even if you are planning a hairstyle using a crimp or curler.

Backcombing is especially popular for long hair if you want to create a so-called retro hairstyle, which will give the most necessary volume even to corrugated hair. Backcombing for medium hair can also be used to create an evening hairstyle with your own hands. But the bouffant for short ones hair will do in order to get beautiful flowing hair with maximum volume. Most often, backcombing is practiced on the top of the head, however nice option in any case, it can be carried out over the entire head.

Some rules

Before the execution technique is presented, thanks to which you can make a root backcomb to any length, some rules should be outlined.

• You should not backcomb your hair on short strands, or on hair of any length if their structure leaves much to be desired. Brittle and lifeless hair can suffer too much from such mechanical stress. Perfect side or straight combing should be done carefully and only on completely healthy hair.
• A comb for backcombing will help you create the right and beautiful volume on your hair in “corrugated” or regular straight curls. It is with its help that you can comb long hair or strands of any length without harming them.
• You should only backcomb long, corrugated hair on clean and completely dried hair, since wet hair will not be able to withstand the given volume for too long. If you combed short hair with your own hands using light and clean strands, you will not need to use any styling products to maintain the desired volume.
• You cannot comb the top part in any style at home, since it will cover the bottom layer, which will be combed.
• Under no circumstances should you start the process of creating the “corrugated” volume from the ends, since the correct backcombing in any style is created only at the roots. You should approach the ends gradually, smoothly moving backwards; you can do everything correctly at home with a brush for perfect backcombing.
• After the backcombing has been done, the intended styling can be done, but it is advisable to first spray the hair with hairspray. Bouffant long bangs should be done last.

There are many medium-length hairstyles: simply styled loose curls, pulled up, using clips, headbands and hoops.

But any styling will last longer if backcombed. Not everyone can afford a visit to a specialist, so many girls wonder how to properly bouffant medium hair themselves.

To learn how to do it perfectly, you first need to learn the golden rules of a perfect hairstyle.

The structure of the strands is different for each person. Some people are lucky with thick hair, while others use every means to add volume to thin hair.

Thick curls tend to be unruly and coarse. They are difficult to style into a neat hairstyle. Therefore, balms, masks and oils are used before styling.

On the contrary, they are easily formed into the desired shape. With brittle and damaged strands, things are more complicated. Before any manipulations with combs, curling irons and hair dryers, they must be treated with care products so as not to worsen the already damaged structure.

Preparation

Any styling is done on clean, washed hair. Rinse your curls with shampoo twice. It is recommended to use a balm for easy combing and a mask for silkiness.

• You can apply any product to get airy and light curls;
• Use better products, which require rinsing, because “leave-in washes,” on the contrary, weigh down and pollute the hair;
• After washing, use a hair dryer and a comb with closely spaced teeth. You need to dry your curls by tilting your head down, straightening the strands with a comb and paying more attention to the roots;
• Thus, the hair will gain additional volume.

What you will need to do the backcombing:

• Comb with fine and frequent teeth;
• Comb with sparse wide teeth;
• Comb with fine sharp teeth and a long handle;
• Comb with natural and soft bristles;
• Medium hold varnish;
• Foam or mousse.

A comb with fine and fine teeth is intended for bangs or a small area of ​​hair. Sparse and wide teeth will help comb the large bottom layer. Using a comb with a long handle will make it easier to separate the strands.

To give a bouffant beautiful view, the final touch at the end of styling will be careful combing with a comb with soft bristles.

Initially, treat the selected area with styling products. The structure of such a product should not weigh down or pollute the hair. To ensure that the pile does not lose its shape, it is treated with medium hold varnish.
