The Rococo era has passed long ago, but its echoes are still preserved. And these are not only works of art of that time, but also fashion elements. Many still puzzled over how to make a rococo hairstyle or repeat makeup. And this is really not easy.

Rococo hairstyles general

Hairstyles of the Rococo era were distinguished by their intricacy. At first it was just cleaned hair, raised up. But then they began to be made too high, with a lot of jewelry, which used flowers, feathers, ribbons, pearls ... It was difficult to do something with my hair on my own, so every court lady had a personal or visiting hairdresser.

Sometimes the hairstyle was made so long and painfully that the woman then wore it for a week. She tried to walk and sleep very carefully so that each curl remained in its place. Sometimes a hat was woven directly into the hair, which made the image even more bizarre. But this is exactly what the ladies wanted. Rococo hairstyles were a benchmark of style.

  1. We take a large strand from the forehead and do bouffant;
  2. Fix it with lacquer and create volume. We pin a strand of stealth on the top of the head;
  3. The rest of the hair is collected in a high tail. The photo shows a smooth styling, but if desired, the hair can be pre-podavit on large curlers. If there are beautiful waves on the head, it will be closer to that era. Curls do not forget to fix varnish;
  4. We take small strands from the tail, curl them with a curling iron and fasten it on the head with the help of invisible hairpins and hairpins;
  5. The resulting curls should be placed on the head so as to completely hide the elastic holding the tail.

The larger the bouffant will be, and the higher you make the tail, the more your styling will look like a rococo. If your hair is very thick, you can not do the tail, but a bunch, but not all of them. It is possible to decorate wedding hairstyles in rococo style in any way. It is better if it will be satin ribbons in the color of the wedding dress, flowers, various accessories, feathers.
