How to reduce the time spent on beauty?
Everything is much simpler if you choose a rhapsody haircut – styling such a hairstyle does not take much time, while you always look well-groomed and stylish.
Rhapsody is suitable for any hair length and fits into any wardrobe.
This hairstyle was popular in the 80-90s of the last century, it was worn by movie stars, and then chosen by women of all ages.
The main feature of the hairstyle is the volume in the crown area, which is achieved through short-cut strands.
The length of the so-called cap at the crown is noticeably less than the length of the main hair.
Short crown strands rise on their own due to their low weight, but you can additionally lift them with a hairdryer and brushing, using styling products.
The main length of the hair is cut in graduations with smooth transitions, and at the face the ends of the hair form a ladder. All ends are carefully milled, due to which each strand lies softly, the hair is folded into a balanced composition.

If the longest occipital strands of rhapsody barely cover the back of the head, the best styling option is to lift the crown and wrap the ends up.
When moving the head, the ends themselves curl up, in contact with the shoulders, so the styling will last as long as possible:
- Wash your hair and dry it with a towel
- Apply styling product in the form of a light mousse along the entire length of the strands
- Using brushing, dry the crown strands, lifting them at the roots

- Lay the bangs, as usual, based on its initial shape.

After curling the strands, comb the hair with your fingers. If the hair is sparse, you can comb the curls with a massage brush.
low ponytail
It can be tied with an elastic band or stabbed with an automatic hairpin.
The crown strands will not reach the tail and will remain unchanged, giving the hair the coveted volume.
You can leave a few strands framing the face.
bundles
The tail based on rhapsody turns out to be rather meager, it is unlikely that it will be possible to form a magnificent bunch from it.
Try simply twisting the occipital strands into a tourniquet, lifting it up and securing it with a crab hairpin.
The ends can be slightly curled with a curling iron. A raised tourniquet can also be fixed with hairpins or an automatic hairpin.
braids
Even short crown strands can be included in the weave if you start it at the very forehead and gradually add strands.
