The thin ponytail is a notable trend of Fashion Week. How not to drown in your hair and repeat?

Pigtails are a definite summer must. Firstly, they do not damage the hair, just like tails – due to the tight tightening of the elastic bands, the second creates noticeable wrinkles on the strands. Second, we have a remarkable trend. From time to time, ponytails in different disguises – from accents right next to the face to free options – returned to fashionable oblivion. It turns out that after the last Couture Fashion Week in Paris, the reception finally and irrevocably entered the rights to be called the summer trend of 2022. True, again not in a simple role.

Designers Chanel, Armani Prive, Iris van Herpen, and they didn’t just rely on the fine braids that frame the scalp at different angles, both horizontally and vertically. Also, in addition to paying homage to classic ethnic elements, we saw more “minimalist” variations – attention to hairstyles from the Elie Saab show. Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen gave fantasy real freedom: the hairstylists working on the fashion show decided to go broke, making outlandish combs from the braids and moving the elements to the middle third of the models’ face and ears.

Of course, the latter is unlikely to be repeated on your own (but no one bothers to try), and in principle, for such a sensitive topic it is better to go directly to the salons. But you can repeat the technique on a slightly smaller scale and still not lose half of your hair in the blink of an eye. Hiring a hair stylist to help.

A good work of imagination and a minimum of knitting skills are enough to make a simple fairy tale come true. I will share a simple option. The main step is to use styling cream or gel.

1. Select several strands along the contour of the face.
2. Apply cream or gel.
3. Tie the rest of your hair into a ponytail.
4. Start knitting.
5. If you want more than one braid, repeat all previous steps.
