Nowadays, hairstyles that do not require a lot of time to create are especially popular, since the pace of life is accelerating and people prefer to keep up.

At the same time, girls are already pretty tired of standard ponytails and buns, so for a long time leading hairdressers began to think about options for simple hairstyles with minimal time investment.

A men's hair net for sleeping just prompted creative craftsmen to create a new women's accessory. It is used by men to prevent hair loss due to friction with the pillow. Such accessories are much thinner than those used to create bun hairstyles. On the basis of a men's sleep net, a hair net for hairstyles was made, called “spider web” (due to its interesting structure). It is almost invisible on the hair if the color of the accessory is chosen to match the hair.

Let's look at the most popular hairstyles with a mesh bun and with a web mesh.

What you need to make hairpins

To make a hair clip with your own hands, you need a ready-made base. The task of the needlewoman is to decorate it, making it beautiful and original. But don’t buy a hairpin in the accessories department, you just need a blank, and they are sold in handicraft stores.

The choice depends on the length and thickness of the hair, preferred hairstyles, and the age of the girl or woman. It can be:

clamps;
crocodiles:
crabs;
click-clack;
invisible and others.

Why is it better not to take a ready-made clip for decoration? Because there is a lot of unnecessary stuff, and all you need is a mechanism .

Having decided on the type of hair accessory, proceed to the choice of equipment and materials. In simple master classes, the decoration is glued to the mechanism. In more complex ones, the base is also pasted over or sheathed.

beads and beads;
fabrics (including shiny);
tulle and mesh;
lace;
rhinestones;
chains;
natural and artificial leather, suede;
cabochons;
centers for bows.

As a rule, craftswomen do not limit themselves to one material, but skillfully combine them, creating masterpieces! Often in the works there are original “things”, for example, feathers, buttons, zippers.

It is important to understand that the decoration technique and choice of materials depend on the type of mechanism. For example, small decorations - beads, small flowers, beads, stones - are suitable for invisible ones. And for the clip it is better to make voluminous flowers from ribbons, foamiran, tulle. It’s beautiful when the decor completely hides the base.

Dear girls, in this article we decided to look at very interesting, but for some reason rarely used accessories - an elastic “gossamer”, a veil clip and a hair net for sleeping.

We are sure you will like them, because with their help you can easily create both everyday and evening hairstyles. All you need is a little imagination and free time!

Forgotten wonderful devices

Bunches and buns

A large hair net for hairstyles is used either as decoration for a bun or to collect hair at the back. Remember the hairstyle of Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) from the film Gone with the Wind; accessories of this kind were already used at that time.

Such nets need to be fixed to the hair with hairpins or bobby pins, otherwise they will not stay in place.

Another important point is that you need to choose a mesh size that is suitable for your curls.

Headnets: a little history, their types and methods of wearing

As soon as people learned to make fibers from plants and wool, all sorts of methods for making products began to appear - weaving, knitting, sewing, etc. Soon canvases, fabrics, and decorations, including various meshes, came into use.

For your information! Archaeological research proves that already in the 13th and 14th centuries not only fishing gear was woven, but also nets to decorate the head. Then the shuttle was a knitting needle with two ears at the ends. The process itself was quite labor-intensive and long. But you won’t go to any lengths for the sake of beauty!

Girl from the past. And what's on her head? Mesh!

However, the peak of popularity of this accessory came in the last century, when in the 30s, due to the difficult economic situation, the fashion for minimalism returned. The shortage of household products has forced the fair half of humanity to have short haircuts. In order to somehow hide flaws in the appearance of their hair, and at the same time to embellish themselves, women often put hand-woven nets on their heads.

Types of modern meshes

With the improvement of the economy in the country, fashion began to change rapidly, and the popularity of the so-called “spider webs” for the head waned. Unfortunately, today few people remember these wonderful devices.

But in vain! Now you can see for yourself.

All meshes can be divided into the following types:

A veil hairpin is a romantic addition to an evening or wedding hairstyle. The main part, which partially covers the head, is made of thin mesh fabric. And the decorative elements on it can be very different - feathers, flowers, rhinestones, ribbons, beads, hats, butterflies and much, much more.

Look how many cute models there are

Mesh scarf . In its appearance, it resembles a cobweb and often serves as an auxiliary accessory when creating a beautiful, complex hairstyle. To do this, the curls are placed in a mesh elastic scarf and given the required shape.

Important! In order for the hairstyle to be a success, the mesh on the hair should stretch to 30-40 centimeters. Check this ability of the accessory in the store when purchasing.

These graceful hairstyles are made using a mesh scarf.

This product is multifunctional, easy to use, aesthetically pleasing and inexpensive (the price for the simplest models is 30-70 rubles). It can be used on hair of any length, giving it volume and unusual shapes. By the way, such “kerchiefs” are made from highly stretchable polyester. The weave is very thin, and if you choose an accessory that matches the color of the strands, it will be almost invisible.

There are also mesh decorations . These are the same “kerchiefs”, only their design is not so simple: multi-colored, with large cells, made of silver or gold material, decorated with precious stones, beads, ribbons...

Hand-knitted “spider webs” (crocheted or knitted) are very impressive. Surely a woman who has mastered this type of needlework knows how to knit a hairnet. Such products are always original, exclusive and are the embodiment of the rich imagination of the craftswoman.

Unique knitted accessories

How to make a hairnet in an easier way? You can weave it from beads. Below, as an example, we have given one of the many weaving patterns.

One of the patterns for weaving a mesh with beads

A mesh sleep cap that keeps your hair healthy and beautiful. During sleep, any curls (whether up to the waist or up to the shoulders) become disheveled on the pillow and become tangled. The result is split ends, dull color, and loss of root volume. Exit? Wear a special hat, just like our mothers and grandmothers did. This simple device helps maintain hairstyle almost 100%.

Options offered by the mesh hairstyle

For half of the head - the ends of the curls are secured in a ponytail;
For the full volume of the head - the ends of the strands are attached in any convenient way;
Braiding is not on the head, but on the tail - it turns out that the mass of hair is enclosed in a net, this is very beautiful;
Only part of the head is braided with a net of strands: in front, on the sides, behind;
The mesh is woven on the side, securing curled curls inside - an excellent option for a wedding hairstyle;
Temporal “mesh” - weaving collects only the temporal parts of the hair, going down in loose curls along the back;
Chainmail weaving with diamonds of different sizes - this installation requires skill and patience, but the result exceeds all expectations.

Weaving "cobwebs" from hair

Let’s deviate a little from the topic and talk about weaving a beautiful “cobweb” on the head. This is no less delicate and unusual hairstyle than the previous ones. And it couldn’t be easier to create! (See also the article Kerating hair: how to do it.)

How to make a hair net? It is based on a regular three-strand braid. You need to select and lightly moisten a curl on the side of your head. Then braid it into a braid, leaving unbraided strands on one side.

Weaving a net on the hair - first steps

Iron unbraided hair with an iron and spray with hairspray. Next, before weaving the first ironed strand into the braid, you need to pass it through all the other strands using the basket weaving method.

The basket weaving method is clearly visible here.

And only after that can we attach it to our braid. We do the same with other hair that was not initially woven in.

The finished hairstyle is a hair net. Now you can secure this openwork element somewhere on the bottom side.

Step-by-step weaving of mesh

Step by step description:

to begin with, having decided on the thread color and size, you need to cast on air loops - 5 pcs.;
make a castle out of them, so you get a ring;
the first row of the product can be made of 9 columns to increase the contact area of the air loops, or you can start immediately with a set of air loops;
cast on four air loops, thread the hook into the next loop;
Thus, we tie the second row;
all subsequent rows are tied with air loops;
to create the last row through which a soft thin elastic band will pass, you will need three double crochets, then knit three chain loops and skip them; the fourth, fifth and sixth are done with a double crochet;
This technique will allow you to create three double crochets and three stitches, which will secure the elastic.

You can use a thread or a braided chain as an elastic band, tightening it when the mesh is already on your head. A thin elastic band pulled into air loops along the edges of the mesh is also suitable.

The mesh size is easy to adjust by adding and removing rows.

Short haircuts

Also, haircuts with a short crown can be an ideal short hairstyle for overweight women. After all, it is with such hairstyles that the face looks more oval, elongated; a raised crown will make it not so round. It is better if the parting is not straight, but on the side; you can experiment with a short asymmetrical haircut.

A long haircut with a short crown will increase volume and make thin and heavy hair look airy, so its owners should pay attention to this option. The most versatile among the variety of hairstyles with a short crown would be a bob or a short bob haircut.

You can make the strands at the back of your head shorter than at the front, and then you can look stylish all day long without putting in much effort. In addition, the graduated bob is one of the first places in popularity among hairstyles.

For women with wavy or curly hair, ladder or cascade haircuts with short tops are not recommended unless you want to spend a lot of time straightening your strands to achieve a spectacular style. And all the same, it’s unlikely that you’ll get an ideal hairstyle, thanks to the peculiar structure of wavy hair.
