Beautiful women’s hairstyles in Chinese style

All Chinese women are brunettes, although recently more and more girls dye their hair in various shades of brown and golden blond.

In the photo – beautiful hairstyles of Chinese girls, which are particularly rigorous, clear lines and dazzling satin sheen of hair:

The smooth, silky surface of the hair is achieved only by the exceptional quality of hair care – Chinese women actively use all kinds of natural masks and essential oils, regularly and carefully comb their curls, massaging the scalp.

The Chinese national female hairstyle is a bun at the back of the head or at the crown, and young girls did not put all their hair in a bun, but built it only from temporal strands.

The rest of the hair remained loose, impressed with its beauty and brilliance. Often, girls braided their hair into tight braids and decorated them with ribbons or flowers.

But married women stood out with intricate high hairstyles, to create them, overhead strands and rollers were used, which were literally glued to the head.

Modern Chinese women wear different haircuts, often complementing them with a small bang.

Large bangs are not suitable for the Asian type of appearance, which is distinguished by grace and compactness. Until now, there is a tradition in China – to cut off hair after parting with a loved one.

It is possible that in our country the habit of cutting hair as a sign of life’s difficulties and changes is rooted in the Middle Kingdom.

Chinese hairstyle with hair sticks

Wooden sticks or even one stick are a direct reference to China, so you can add almost any hairstyle with such accessories.

The easiest option is a regular bun or bun, we will learn how to make a hairstyle with Chinese hair sticks:

1. Gather your hair into a ponytail between the back of your head and the top of your head.
2. Twist the ponytail into a loose ponytail and coil it around the elastic.
3. Hide the ends of the bundle under the bun, fix the structure with pins
4. Insert wooden sticks into the bun crosswise – in this case it is only a decorative element

This styling is perfect if you decide to dress in Chinese style.

How to make a trendy Chinese style hairstyle

To emphasize your youth, to demonstrate the beauty of curls, but at the same time maintain the appropriate style, try a fashionable styling akin to malvina, but with oriental notes:

1. Arm yourself with a thin comb and separate part of the hair along the line of their growth above the forehead and at the temples, that is, make a parting from ear to ear, stepping back from the hairline literally 1-2 cm
2. Gather the separated strands into a loose ponytail just below the crown, make sure that the surface of the hair on the crown and above the ears is smooth
3. Twist the ponytail into a ponytail and spiral around the elastic, trying to make the spiral as flat as possible.
4. Secure each turn of the spiral with a small hairpin, hide the end of the bundle under the bundle
5. Pass wooden sticks crosswise under the spiral of hair, lifting the elastic that holds the ponytail.

If you are wearing an oriental-style outfit, chopsticks are optional – decorate the bun with a flower to match the dress.

Loose hair should be cut in a perfectly straight horizontal line, the ends should be straightened with an iron.

Option for medium length hair

3. Throw the hair over the stick so that the ends fall from under the stick to the right of the base of the "tail"
4. Holding the hair with your right hand, turn the wand with the sharp end up
5. Gently lift the thick end of the stick, with the sharp end forward, pass the stick through the emerging bundle in the direction to the left and down, but do not insert the stick all the way
6. Hide the sharp end of the stick under the hair at the very beginning of the "tail".
7. Turn the stick horizontally, as in the second step, and thread it all the way – so that the left and right stick is visible symmetrically
8. Fix the resulting beam shape with hairpins, hiding the broken strands

This styling looks gorgeous with bangs, you can leave thin strands at the temples and curl them.

3. Gather all the hair in a ponytail, comb it smoothly and tie with an elastic band, stepping back from the roots about 10-15 cm
4. Lower the second elastic band over the first one and fasten them with hairpins between each other – the hair at the roots will form a roller around the entire circumference of the head
5. Tie the remaining tail into a bun in a convenient way – with a twister or hairpins, twisting the tourniquet or braid in a spiral

You can complement the result with chopsticks, sticking them crosswise into a bundle, or with the Chinese hairpins mentioned above.

Option for girls (with video)

Your daughter has a morning party in kindergarten, and she should play the role of an oriental princess? Or is the girl fascinated by the culture of the East and wants to look like graceful and bright Chinese women?

Offer her the simplest option, which can be called quite European.

We present a video on how to make a Chinese-style hairstyle for a girl, try it – it’s very simple, the styling is strong and effective.

1. Divide the hair into two parts with an even parting in the center of the head, leaving the bangs
2. Tie a high ponytail on each side.
3. Twist the upper part of the tail into a tourniquet and lay the tourniquet around the elastic band, fixing it with an invisibility
4. Braid the remaining end of the tail and tie a bright elastic band with pendants.
5. Put on a bright elastic band over the beam too.
6. Do the same for the second tail

If the hair is not too long, you can do it differently:

1. Divide the hair into two parts with an even parting in the center of the head, leaving the bangs
2. Make another parting perpendicular to the first, dividing the entire hair into 4 sectors
3. Make ponytails from the top two sectors
4. Twist the ponytails into bundles and lay them in spirals, securing with hairpins and putting on bright elastic bands over the resulting bundles
5. From the two lower sectors, braid the braids, decorating the bottom with elastic bands with pendants

And one more option for a similar hairstyle – do everything the same, just exclude the first step, where we divide the hair with a parting in two.

You will get one bunch in the center of the head and one braid. If desired, you can add sticks to the bundle or use a diadem instead of an elastic band.

The New Year traditions of China are interesting – special attention is paid to the appearance, in particular, along with the hairstyle.

The outfit must be new, and the New Year’s Chinese hairstyle for most women turns out to be fresh – after all, it is impossible to get a haircut in the first days of the coming year.

The Chinese believe that luck will leave with hair, so cleaning in the first days of the year is also prohibited, so as not to sweep good luck out of the house along with rubbish.

Oriental style is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for stylists, fashion designers, hairdressers, avid fashionistas and ordinary women.

Feel free to try on Chinese hairstyles adapted to modern times, and always keep traditional oriental styling in service – to strike the guests of a costume party on the spot.
