1. Tucked-In Hairdo:
This Greek hairdo looks elegant and sophisticated and pairs well with any formal or high-fashion outfit. You can wear a thin headband around the crown, loop hair sections around it, and gather the hair ends into side ponytails to create this look. You may keep it flowing or tie elastic bands and tease them for a bubble effect. Accessorize with flowers or other hair accessories.
2. Twisted Hairdo:
This charming hairstyle is easy to create and looks good on naturally wavy hair. You just have to part your hair in the middle and separate four hair sections from the sides, twist them and wrap them around each other. Join the twisted sections and secure them with elastic bands or other hair accessories.
3. Halo Braid:
Nothing screams “Goddess” like your own crown, does it? Inspired by the Greeks, this halo braid is a traditional hairdo donned by maidens and Goddesses alike. It is simple, looks regal, and is easy to do. You simply make two braids with a mid partition and join them using bobby pins on opposite sides of your crown.
4. Rustic Crown Braid:
This crown braid is a modern, edgy take on a classic Greek hairdo. This takes your graceful crown braid and turns it into a chic hairdo that goes well with casual and formal outfits. Also, you do not need to weave a neat crown braid. You can leave out a few layers on the sides and the front for a rustic twist.
5. Front Side Braid:
This is one of the most effortless yet elegant looks, straight from the red carpet. A simple side braid creates an illusion of a tilted crown that works like a headband. Use volumizing sprays and tease the hair at the back and let your tresses fall over your shoulders.
6. Thick Side Braid:
This braid is messy, whimsical, and dreamy. Donned by many actresses with variations, this dramatic braid is simple to achieve. Gather all your hair to one side and make a loose braid. Gently pull the strands of the braid to make it appear voluminous, and you are done!
7. French Braids With Face Framing Bangs:
Glam up the Greek maiden look with this simple messy braid. French braids look ethereal due to their intricate weaving pattern. However, they are relatively easy to create. You can simply do a regular French braid, but weave it looser than usual and leave out the front long bangs for a boho appeal.
8. Double Side Knitted Braid:
This hairdo embodies the elegance and simplicity of the classic French braid and gives it a Greek twist. Straight from the red carpet, this hairdo is effortless to do. Middle part your hair and make two braids on either side from the crown to the back of the head. Secure the braids into a ponytail and let the rest of the hair cascade down your shoulders in subtle waves.
9. Loose Waves With A Headpiece:
Adding a headpiece is perhaps the simplest way to take your style quotient higher. Nicole Richie elevated her simple beachy waves using a headpiece that hugs her crown and puffs up that area. The curtain bangs beautifully frame the face and soften the overall look.
10. Messy Braid Cluster:
This heavenly cluster of braids looks divine when done right. Blake Lively is a huge braids fan, as she pairs her most red carpet looks with variations of braids. This cluster of braids is easy to achieve. Gather your hair on one side and separate two sections. Make a fishtail braid with the thin section, and a three-strand braid with the thicker section, and secure both braids with an elastic band. Leave out your face-framing layers and secure the rest with a studded hair accessory on the side of the braid.
11. Glam Goddess:
The Glam Goddess is a slight tweak to the ancient goddess look, which requires you to form the braids with a shabby updo. Leaving a slight clean puff in the front, you can tie the rest with satin or lace hair-bands. To keep the grip, tie it up with three different layers, adjacent to each other. This is one of the easiest Greek goddess hairstyles to try out.
12. Gardener’s Charm:
The Gardener’s Charm has been every bride’s dream hairdo in Greece, but only a few get it right as the curls and the firmness in the flow are important. The hairdo needs a lot of hair pins and some hair firmness gel. Best tried on naturally curled hair, this style is all about forming curls, pulled behind in the style of a bouquet and accessorized with white roses.
13. Greek Spit:
The Greek spit is the way this hairdo has been named; it’s quite a gamete of 2 to 3 braids, clubbed together at the side, leaving the other tresses loose. The braid is pulled from the front hair, swaying backwards to club with the other braid crowns.
14. Messy Bun:
The messy side bun was the ancient Greek hairstyle among slaves who did not have much time or options to tie their hair up. The side messy bun today is one of the top Red Carpet looks. All you have to do is club your loose tresses on one side, tying a knot to form a sagging messy bun. The messier the bun, the better it looks.
15. Rope Braided Updo:
The Rope braided up do is one of the classic styles, straight from the book of ancient Greek divas. The braids are a mix of roll up and surround the bun to crown it. For blondes, it resembles the rope hair-ribbons but in real it is crafted from the original hair only.
16. Braided Turban:
The braided turban is an imitation of the ancient false hair turban, tried out in reality to achieve a marvelous piece of art. This hairstyle is best tried on straight hair as the experimentation can be a great choice on it. Forming a braid with one side of the hair, you can roll it up, completing on the entire circumference of the crown area. Give at least 2 to 3 rolls to form a braided turban and let your hair look a shining piece of art.
17. Greek Fishtail:
The Greek fishtail is a combination of the classic French braid and fishtail pony. Best known as the mermaid’s tress, this hairstyle is the top hairdo among college girls these days. It’s a low maintenance chic look, best when in hurry and suits all styles.
18. Knitted Braid:
The knitted braid started off in the late 60’s and became the top Red Carpet hairdo for famous actresses. This fabulous hairdo is marked as one of the neatest and elegant looks. Not only Jessica Alba but even Kim Kardashian opted for this look at one of her screenings.
19. Rose Bun:
‘Roses are red and violets are blue, but those imitations are so true’ are few words which come to your mind each time you ponder on this look. An affair to celebrate this high bun bouffant with rose imitations from the top view was given to a lot of brides, Miss Worlds and Miss Universes, adding the hint of panache as they graced the isle.
20. Bouffant Goddess:
The epic bouffant may have been the grace of every crown.
