What is a Greek dressing?

In the hairstyle itself, such an ornament is fastened either with hairpins or invisible, depending on where to fix it. Most often, a gum band is used as a Greek bandage.

How to make a Greek bandage with your own hands
The first thing you need to decide is the choice of material. Besides the fact that it should be combined with your preferred clothes, you need to think about how it will fit into your style. Here are some of the most interesting options.
Thin Leather Greek Bandage
For her, you need a collar or strap for doggies or just some unnecessary thing from this material along with a buckle. In addition, you will need threads and elastic. It is best if their color is in harmony with the tone of the strap. Now you should use a centimeter to measure the distance between the ears through the forehead. Thus, the length of the leather part of the bandage is determined. After that, put a buckle on it and sew the elastic. The length of the latter should be half that of the main part of the strap - this will guarantee that the jewelry will not fall off.
Greek silk scarf
You will need a scarf for her, a tight gum, and also a little cotton fabric. The scarf first folds so that the ribbon comes out. In several places, it is sutured, and on the reverse side, in the place that will be on the forehead, a patch of cotton cloth is sewn. This is necessary so that the tape sits firmly and does not slip. For greater originality, a light brooch or buckle can be attached to the tape. After that, a dense elastic is sewn at the back. The ends of the scarf can be tied in an elegant bow, left long or cut off.
Greek chain headband
You can wear such an accessory on your hair like a diadem. The width of the chain should be at least one centimeter, and the length should be at least 30 cm. Otherwise, the ends of the gum will look outward, and this, you see, is ugly. To create such an ornament, you will also need a dense elastic band. It is sewn to the chain with threads thicker so that the links of the accessory do not fray the mounts.
Double Greek Bezel
For him, it will be necessary to prepare two pieces of wavy lace or braid, about a half meter long and about ten centimeters of elastic. The ends of the strips at the back of the jewelry are stitched together and attached to an elastic band.
