How to make a “heart” hairstyle: step-by-step instructions with photos and videos

A heart-shaped hairstyle looks original and unusual; young fashionistas and very young ladies really like such experiments.

But older girls will not refuse elegant heart styling when going on a romantic date.

You can make a bundle of the appropriate shape or complement loose curls with neat hearts from individual strands. A recognizable symbol is sure to impress and decorate your image.

Bundle in the shape of a heart

If you are thinking about how to make a heart-shaped hairdo, pay attention to special accessories:

The easiest way is to buy a "donut" of the appropriate design – for sure, many girls know about such a simple device. This is a dense voluminous "doughnut", but not of a traditional rounded shape, but of a specific one.

Step by step instructions:

1. Make a ponytail at the crown with an ordinary rubber band.
2. Pass the tail through the "donut".
3. Spread the hair from the center of the tail in all directions so as to completely hide the "donut".
4. Wear a thin elastic band over your hair or secure your hair with many small hairpins.
5. Just hide the ends of your hair under a bun.

To create a heart, you can use a flexible twister – a strip of fabric on an elastic frame with a slot inside.

1. Pull all of your hair through the slot in the twister.
2. Pull the twister down to the ends of your hair.
3. Holding on to the edges of the twister, twist the roller out of the hair.
4. Form a heart out of the twister.
5. Secure the structure with studs.
6. Straighten the curls so that the twister is completely hidden under the hair.

The next option is a heagami hairpin, you can also make a non-standard bundle from it:

1. Open the hairpin and place all the hair inside.
2. Close with heagami and distribute the hair along the entire clip.
3. Pull the clip to the ends of your hair.
4. Wind the hair on the hairpin, forming a roller.
5. Give the flexible hair clip the desired shape.
6. Fix the result with hairpins.

Typically, such styling does not need additional decor, but if you place a miniature heart inside the beam, the image will become even sweeter and more romantic.

Heart based on curls

In the photo – a heart-shaped hairstyle created on the basis of loose curls – straight or curled:

This styling is suitable for owners of long hair, and its main advantage is that you only need two thin elastic bands to match your hair color.

Style on clean hair with a light spritz of low hold hairspray:

1. Comb all your hair back.
2. Separate two small strands on the sides of the forehead and fasten them at the back with an elastic band. Do not pull the tail tight, let the curls hang freely, and the elastic is located just below the top of the head.
3. Separate the temporal strand on the right side – just below the side strand, which is already gathered with an elastic band.
4. Throw the temporal strand over the top of the side strand, which is above the elastic.
5. Pull the end of the temporal strand from below, laying it over the top of the same temporal strand.
6. Carry out a similar operation on the left side.
7. Gather the temporal strands into a ponytail at the back of the head along with the side strands and fasten with an elastic band.

The ends of the hair can be curled, then the styling will become more elegant and harmonious. This hairstyle looks better on blond hair and just luxuriously on highlighted curls.

Volumetric hair heart for a girl

A heart hairstyle for a girl can be not only flat, but also voluminous, while the styling looks airy and does not weigh down the composition:

Look at the video on how to make a heart hairstyle in stages – it's not difficult at all, the process does not require special skills or innate talents:

1. Comb all the hair back, separate the side strands, including the temporal strands and part of the hair on the sides of the forehead.
2. Tie these two strands with an elastic band at the crown and “turn out" the resulting ponytail, stretching it from below and stretching it from above.
3. Divide the ponytail into two parts and tighten it by pulling the strands in different directions.
4. Temporarily fasten the left side of the ponytail with a clip, moving it to the left.
5. Separate a section of hair behind your right ear and divide it into three sections.
6. Start weaving a regular spikelet, laying alternately side strands over the central one.
7. Overlaying the left strands on top of the central one, add thin strands to them from the right side of the tail
8. Gently pull out the caught strands. Stretch the top strands more than the bottom strands to give the hairstyle the desired heart shape.
9. Repeat the same operations on the left side of the hair.
10. Connect two braids into a ponytail with a thin elastic band to match the hair color.

You can continue braiding in a fishtail style and then casually pull up the side loops.

A braid-heart hairstyle will be appropriate for a matinee or even in the office, if at the end of the working day you will go to a cafe or a party:

Hairstyle with ribbon

This styling is ideal for a themed party or for a children's costume party. You will need an elastic band and a narrow long ribbon.

For dark hair, choose a light-colored ribbon, for blond hair, a bright ribbon:

1. Comb all your hair back and make a parting in the center of the crown of the head from the forehead to the crown.
2. Separate at the very crown (slightly to the right) three thin strands.
3. Start weaving the spikelet, laying the side strands on top of the central one.
4. Weave not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top – from the crown to the forehead.
5. Braid with a one-sided pickup – pick up the hair from the side of the parting and add it to the braid.
6. Gradually shift the weaving to the side – the upper part of the future heart should form.
7. Wrap the weave, forming a heart, pick up the hair from the outside of the heart, that is, from the face, and then behind the ear.
8. When you get to the ear, stop picking up the strands and take a few more braiding steps.
9. Braid the same braid on the left side.
10. Secure both braids with an elastic band at such a height that you get a neat heart.

At this stage, you can finish styling – the braids form a beautiful, neat heart.

It is better to curl the ends of the hair so that the hairstyle looks complete.

But to make the image truly spectacular and unusual will help the tape, which was discussed at the very beginning.

1. Fasten the ribbon at the elastic, that is, at the bottom of the heart.
2. Using the side inner loops of the braids, begin to lace up the heart, threading the ends of the tape alternately through the right and left braids.
3. When you reach the center of the heart, with one end of the tape continue to lace one half of the upper part, with the other end of the tape – the other half.
4. When both ends reach the highest points of the heart, lower the ends of the tape down to the center of the heart and attach them to the horizontal piece of tape there with double-sided tape.
5. Just cut off the excess length of the ends of the tape.

If you take a thin ribbon or even a lace, the heart inside will turn out to be openwork. You can experiment with a wider organza or voile ribbon, then the heart will be completely filled – it is enough to straighten the ribbon after the lacing is completed.

Heart of hair around the tail

You can resort to such a trick if you did not find a suitable decorative elastic band, and you want to decorate the tail:

1. Make a ponytail at the back of the head and loosen it slightly.
2. Separate a section of hair at the bottom of the ponytail.
3. Divide your hair into two sections over the elastic.
4. Insert your fingers through the hole from top to bottom and pull the previously separated strand up.
5. Divide the strand into two parts.
6. Divide each part into three strands and braid two thin pigtails in different directions.
7. Connect the braids with an elastic under the ponytail.
8. Give the braids a heart shape, if necessary, secure them under the tail with invisibles or a miniature crab.

After you have created a heart, you can braid the tail from the tail or curl the tail with a curling iron.

The original shape of the hairstyle is the key to a spectacular image, and hearts always look elegant and romantic:

Experiment with luxurious ribbon hearts or opt for a versatile openwork design – any option will be memorable and stylish.
