An off-the-shoulder dress is an example of feminine charm and attractiveness. Wearing it to a festive or special event, the girl will be the center of attention, and on a romantic date the man will not take his eyes off her. However, this style of dress requires careful selection of a hairstyle that will not only complete the look, but also make it harmonious and perfectly thought out.
What hairstyles go with an off-the-shoulder dress?
When choosing a hairstyle to go along with open shoulders, it is important to pay attention to all the details: face shape, style and color of the dress., the desire to open the neck or its absence, the presence of complex decor on clothes and other factors. Always make sure that the style of the dress and hairstyle match.
For example, if your outfit has a Greek style, then your hair should be styled in appropriate light curls. For a sheath dress, the best solution would be to wear your hair in a high ponytail or bun.An airy braid, tousled curls or straight, clean hair will fit perfectly into a summer look.
Doing hairstyles
Most of the hairstyles can be done yourself at home. You don't have to go to a beauty salon and spend a lot of money. An important rule is to practice in advance so that on the day of the event you don’t waste your nerves on a hairstyle that you are doing for the first time..
Vintage waves
A hairstyle from the 20s to 40s is ideal for a retro-style dress. Nevertheless, it still looks relevant. Its main feature is large, well-recorded waves. To create them using the hot method you will need:
- curling iron or curlers;
- hairpins;
- fixing agents: foams, varnishes.
If you use a curling iron, curl all the curls in one direction. Using curlers, you need to do similar steps. After this, comb your hair and style it in a beautiful side wave. Secure the wave with varnish.
To make the wave more expressive and last longer, you can secure each curl with a hairpin or barrette, and only then use varnish. After drying, you need to remove the hairpins.
Voluminous low ponytail on one shoulder
Hair thrown to one side looks great with a dress with bare shoulders (especially with a sweetheart neckline), since one shoulder in any case remains not hidden under the hair.
To make a ponytail yourself, you don't need the skills of a hairdresser. It will be enough to create root volume using a comb or corrugated tongs. You can also curl your hair with a curling iron first. Take your hair to one side and tie the ponytail with a thin elastic band. Pull out a few strands to add extra volume.
Hide the elastic to make your hair look perfect.To do this, wrap it with a thin strand of hair, securing the end with an elastic band.
With waves and a hoop
It happens that after curling it seems that the hairstyle looks unfinished. A stylish accessory, such as a hair hoop, can come to the rescue. A thin metal wire hoop decorated with rhinestones or pearls looks elegant.
Babette, shell
If the dress has a strict style or vintage notes, then a sophisticated “Babette” or “Shell” hairstyle is suitable. It is easy to do using a special roller that is placed under the hair. Then the curls are twisted around it until it is completely hidden. You can secure the roller using pins and bobby pins.
Straight flowing hair
If you have thick, medium-length hair, then straight, healthy hair looks very beautiful with bare shoulders. This installation will not require a lot of time and effort. It will be enough to wash your hair and dry it with a round brush to add shine. Additionally, you can use a straightening iron.
Volume braid on the back
Volumetric weaving has not gone out of fashion for several years. For girls and women, this hairstyle will be ideal both on a hot summer day and for a festive occasion.. The type of braid does not matter. It could be:
- a simple three-strand braid;
- baby dragon;
- a spikelet of two strands;
- a braid of four or more strands.
The main thing is that the hairstyle is voluminous. To do this, you can braid pre-curled hair. To give the hairstyle a slight negligence, it will be beautiful to pull out a few strands on the sides.
