Frizura

Frizura is a term used in many Slavic languages for hairstyle—the arrangement and styling of hair on the head designed to alter or enhance a person’s appearance. A frizura can be created with natural hair or through chemical or mechanical means, and it can be temporary or longer-lasting, depending on technique and products used. The concept encompasses shape, length, texture, and color, as well as how the hair is positioned relative to the face.

Frizura categories include length (short, medium, long), texture (straight, wavy, curly), and form (layered, blunt, voluminous). Styles can range from casual everyday looks to formal updos, and may involve elements such as bangs, parting, and accessories. Common examples are the bob or pixie cut for short styles, shoulder-length bobs for medium, and layered or curled hair for long looks. Updos, braids, ponytails, and buns represent functional or ceremonial options.

Choosing a frizura depends on factors such as face shape, hair type, lifestyle, and maintenance. A stylist may recommend cuts and styling techniques that enhance features or accommodate hair texture. Color choices, highlights, and lowlights are often integrated as part of a complete look.

Care and maintenance involve regular washing and conditioning, scalp health, and protection from damage. Heat styling requires heat protectants, and excessive use of heat can affect hair integrity. Trimming every 6–8 weeks helps maintain shape. Styling products—mousse, gel, wax, spray—are used to hold or texture the hair.
