Perhaps to come up with a more elegant hairstyle, which would be known for its simplicity and sophistication, is quite difficult.
"Shell" holds the first position in its femininity for many, many years. This luxurious and eye-catching hairstyle is loved by women all over the world.
Why did this hairstyle get such a name? The fact is that if you carefully consider the "curl" of the hairstyle, it is easy to guess that its shape resembles a sea shell.
A lot of attention is paid to creating the “Shell” hairstyle for long hair. Of course, given the length of the hair, there is something to work with. What to do for those ladies whose hair can be attributed to the average length and choose a hairstyle for them, a little more complicated? Let's get acquainted with the techniques of creation, in stages.
Hairdress "Shell": we form an elegant image
In any case, you need to consider that forming a “Shell” hairstyle on medium hair is easiest if they are pre-wound on a curling iron or curlers. Use styling mousse to give your hair some stiffness, volume and make it more docile.
The main auxiliary materials for fixing the hair - invisible and hairpins. Then, the “Shell” can be decorated with simple or elegant accessories, which distinguishes it from the hairstyles of friends, if it is, for example, a wedding, and all the “friends” are equally dressed and combed.
“Seashells” can be various - with a bang, without it, with strands on the sides, with a curl at the nape and at the crown, with a tail. It all depends on your mood and desire. Think of the best image for yourself and create the option that you like.
The simplest hairstyle - “Shell” on medium hair (photo) - combed on straight hair
Wash your hair with a suitable shampoo. Dry them. If you decide to exclude the use of curling irons to create curls and want to do a hairstyle on straight hair, then be sure to dry your hair, use a volume mousse. This indispensable assistant will ease your efforts.
- Dye your hair all the way to make it appear fuller.
- Divide your hair into a parting that is familiar to you.
- Smoothly lay one side of the hair back. Try not to comb the comb, but walk the comb over it.
- Attach the lined strand with invisible ones so that they securely fix the hair on the back of the head.
- We also lay the hair on the opposite side in a straight strand and, twisting the edge, form a shell.
- Fasten the hairstyle with hairpins, hiding them in the hair. For reliability, spray varnish.
In the case of this hairstyle, the bangs can be any or no. The hairstyle is suitable as an office option. The main thing is to choose a little time for its creation.
Pull out the contour of the face with the hairstyle “Shell” on medium hair (photo)
The previous hairstyle for medium hair can be varied, creating an extra volume on the crown of the head.
This hairstyle is perfect for women with a round, square and trapezoidal face shape. The hairstyle visually stretches the contour of the face and creates the perfect look.
We perform all the steps according to the previous photo and a phased description. The only point is the formation of a three-dimensional crown:
- Separate a thick bang or part of the hair above the forehead;
- Make a basal volume. It is best done with a small scallop with rare teeth;
- Take the resulting volume lock back;
- Stitch invisible to the back of the head.
All other stages are as in the previous photo.
Complete the hairstyle with an exquisite elongated bow-hairpin, which will help to hide the "errors" and hairpins.
Such a hairstyle can be varied by adding one or more dressings (ribbons) so that her styling creates the “Greek” effect. Looking at the photo, you can easily understand how best to fix the gum-hoops, and add a special twist to this option.

In French: create a “Shell” on medium hair (photo)
The French “Shell”, in its original version, is not much different from other hairstyles. Its main advantage is simplicity and classic sophistication. This hairstyle is distinguished by the fact that it is created on hair of medium and low density or on straight hair. Although, if you do not want to "lose" your natural curls and align them with an "iron", do it in locks. The result will be no less charming.
- Comb, cleanly washed and dried hair, smoothing them on the side of the hair, as if "licking."
- If desired, this hairstyle can be supplemented with a released pair of strands from the frontal or temporal part of the hair.
- Take one part of the hair back. Fasten at the base of the neck with long invisibles. A couple of pieces are enough if your hair is not very thick.
- Next, grab the hair along the entire length and start scrolling around its axis in the direction of the invisible, creating a tourniquet.
- Bring the edge of the tourniquet up.
- In stages, attach hair from the bottom to the top with hairpins.
- Hide the final edge of the hair under the “Shell” itself or in the crown of the hair.
- Attach the invisibility.
Released tails in the “Shell” hairstyle for medium hair (photo)
Summing up the variety of hairstyles and their creation, it should be noted that the “Shell” hairstyle can have options with tails that do not run into the “roller” itself.
In this case, forming the hairstyle itself, its ends are released up or down.
The main “Shell” curl is attached to the head with invisible hairpins and hairpins, and the loose hair that forms the tail can simply fall down along the neck or be wound and have tight curls or light waves. An unconditional addition will be festive hair clips, if necessary.
You might want to decorate your hairstyle with fresh flowers, which looks especially gentle.
Whichever hairstyle you choose, one thing is clear - it is not at all boring and can add some elegance to your young age, and sophistication to a mature one.
