Features of women's haircut "Olympia"

The modern beauty industry is increasingly turning to retro style. For example, hairstyles from the distant 80s are gaining immense popularity among fashionistas of the XXI century. A stylish and sophisticated haircut from the past is Olympia. She looks equally attractive and elegant on short to medium hair.

Retro haircuts from the times of the 1980 Olympics amaze with their charm, audacity and originality. They represent a kind of synthesis of several elements: short hair, lush "waves" and perm. In the late 70s, ladies have already begun to experiment with the length and shades of hair. In addition to short haircuts, Babylon hair and bright coloring of individual strands were in vogue.

In 1980, Moscow beauties choose a sporty style. The Olympic Games are being held in the USSR. Fashion also affects hairstyles. The Olympia (or Sports) haircut is performed using the graduation technique (vertical and horizontal).

These days, haircuts from the 80s look unusual, but at the same time stylish.

However, 80s hairstyles are not for everyone, so take a look at the guidelines below.

• A haircut will only look decent on healthy, clean hair. Owners of thin, sparse hair are better off abandoning it.

• For women with a triangular and elongated face shape, a graduated hairstyle with thick straight bangs is suitable.

• Ladies with large facial features and protruding ears should pay attention to the graduated bob and sesson.

• Ideally "Olympia" suits ladies with an oval face and expressive eyes.

• Chubby ladies are better off doing graduation on medium hair. A short haircut can be done with long bangs that hide not-so-ideal proportions.

The advantages of graduated hairstyles include the following nuances:

• do not require constant adjustments and are easy to install;
• suitable for mature ladies and young girls;
• look extraordinary and romantic.

In the modern sense, "Olympia" is not associated with sports, it can be safely attributed to one of the options for haircuts with thinning strands. It will suit any feminine look and highlight the sophisticated features of the face.

As already mentioned, this hairstyle is created using the graduation method. The master begins the process of creating a haircut by processing the strands on the temples. He mills the ends of the strands, then, using the parallel haircut technique, processes the lateral curls, then graduates the hair on the back of the head.

It is not difficult to style a graduated haircut on short, medium and long hair. It will take you no more than 10 minutes to lay the Olympia on the hair of the minimum length.

So, comb your clean hair and dry it with a hair dryer. We lay the front strands back and generously cover the entire hair with varnish for fixing.

For special occasions, you can create the effect of wet strands from milled curls. To do this, you need styling products (gel, wax). Apply a large amount of gel to clean hair and form curls along the entire length with our hands. Next, we fix them with varnish. Careless styling looks very stylish and feminine.

Alternatively, you can add a bold headband or satin ribbon to your 80s style haircut to frame the base.
