Who is a long or elongated square with bangs
A long square is 10-15 cm longer than the standard one. The cut line is just above the shoulders. This option is suitable for girls who want to gradually grow the length, or those who do not fit short haircuts.
Elongated bob can be multi-layered, asymmetrical, with different types of bangs. Photos will help you choose a stylish haircut and determine if it fits in the face shape and color type of the girl's appearance.
By color type of appearance
The elongated bob looks best on dark hair - this is how attention is focused on the contrast of colors and the clear shape of the haircut. Therefore, a haircut is especially recommended for the Winter color type - for fair-skinned girls with black or brown hair.
Kare also suits fair-haired and red-haired girls. But for fair-skinned blondes (color type "Summer") it is better to refuse such an option - an unusual haircut will take all the attention. The situation changes when it comes to light or platinum blonde and dark skin. Another good option is to make a dark stretch on the hair roots.
By hair color
A long bob with bangs (the photographs emphasize this well) looks stylish on hair of almost any color. Dark tones (black, chestnut, dark blond) emphasize the geometry of the haircut. A bob on hair dyed using the ombre or shatush technique will look more voluminous and structured.
By face shape
If the hair is perfectly straight, an elongated square will suit the owners of an elongated face:
- oval;
- diamond-shaped;
- rectangular.
In other cases, an even cut will emphasize its width.
With curly or wavy hair, girls with a round or square face can also afford such a haircut - the volume will visually change the proportions. A bob with bangs is also not suitable for everyone. The haircut is not suitable for girls with a round, wide face or small forehead.
Types of bob for long hair with bangs
Long bob variations differ in shape and texture. The difference lies in the form of a cut (straight, oblique, asymmetrical) and in the design of the hair web (thinning, graduation, "cascade"). The photo below shows the most popular options for a long square.
Classic long bob
The haircut looks the same as a regular bob, but longer. Typically, the cut ends just above the shoulder line. The cut is at a slight angle. The classic elongated square is symmetrical, has no "tiers". This is the most versatile option for a square that requires minimal styling.
Double extended bob
Double bob - a haircut with several layers. The first, upper cut is made at the occiput level. The second is at the shoulder line. When thinning, the transition between layers is not visible. Most often, with a double elongated square, the ends of the hair fit to the face and frame the oval. The haircut is done without bangs, or with long bangs to one side. Suitable for any face shape.
Long bob with long bangs
Long bangs are most often done in combination with a straight elongated square. As a rule, the master makes a side parting and shortens the strands that are closer to the face. The result is a "bang" 10-15 cm long. This haircut is suitable for any type of face: visually slims and "stretches" the oval.
Long "Bob-caret"
"Bob" is one of the classic variations of a square, second only to a straight cut in popularity. In profile, the cut of the haircut looks oblique. The difference between the front strands and the back of the head can be up to 20 cm. Strands on the face can reach length to the chest.
The elongated "bob" looks equally good on both straight and curly hair. Like a straight square, it requires minimal styling - it is important to maintain volume at the crown. Can be worn with center and side parting. Suitable for all face shapes.
Asymmetrical square
Asymmetry is a good way to freshen up a haircut. Most often, an asymmetrical square has a side parting. The hair has a diagonal cut at the back. The length on one side is 5-19 cm longer than on the other.
In radical options, one side is shaved in the temple area or completely. In most cases, some of the shorter hairs are tucked behind the ear. The haircut is suitable for girls with an elongated face and a sharp chin. The round face will become visually wider and fuller.
Graded
A long square with bangs, a photo of which is often shown to masters, can be done using the “graduation” technique. This will add texture to the haircut.
Haircut features:
- The graduated bob has an uneven cut, the hair is cut in layers.
- In this technique, the strands are selected randomly, due to which "volume" appears.
- Due to the play of light and shadow, the hair becomes visually larger.
- The top layer is the shortest. It ends at about ear level. Further, depending on the length, there are 3-4 more layers.
The elongated graduated bob is suitable only for straight hair and does not require complex styling. It is enough to extend your hair with a hairdryer.
Kare-Cascade
A long cascading square is similar to a graduated one. In this variation, the layers have not a "ragged", but a smooth and imperceptible transition. The top layer is long, almost to the occiput.
Such a square can be laid on brushing, processing each layer separately. A bob-cascade is often combined with an elongated oblique bangs. Suitable for straight hair. It looks especially impressive, both in the photo and live, with the “shatush” staining technique.
Straight square
Similar to the classic elongated bob. In profile, the cut looks absolutely straight, which visually increases the density of the hair. Looks especially good on dark hair: black, dark blond, chestnut.
Due to its clear geometric shape, it is recommended for owners of naturally straight hair. Haircuts can be done on curly ones, however, daily straightening with an iron will be required.
Square "on the leg"
A square "on a leg" is one of the classic models of haircuts, which has been relevant for more than one decade. From the back, the cut goes above the occiput line. There is a “leg” under the cut - hair from 3 to 1 cm long. The closer they are to the back of the neck, the shorter their length.
The hairline can be left natural, or shaped with a razor - in the form of a wedge or ornament. This haircut visually lengthens the neck. A square "on a leg" is suitable for girls with pronounced cheekbones, jawline and chin. Not recommended for people with a full face.
Ball type square
In this case, a technique similar to the bob haircut is used. The lower layer of hair is stepped, gradually shortening from the back of the head to the neck. The upper strands from the crown are also more shortened. This creates a rounded outline of the haircut. You can make a square ball for hair 2-3 cm long below the jaw line.
This haircut is suitable for girls with a long thin neck, triangular or diamond-shaped face. Not suitable for those with a large chin or round face with full cheeks.
Long bob for curly hair
In order to get an even geometric cut, women with curly hair will have to straighten them daily with an iron. For such a structure, a cascading or "bob" -car is more suitable. The curls emphasize the volume of the hair and play well with the asymmetry.
When cutting curly hair, the master will advise the shape of the square, which does not need to be styled with a hairdryer, iron or curling iron. The haircut will look good anytime.
Extension bob for thick hair
Thick hair is the best material for an elongated bob.
Original haircuts look especially good on such hair:
- asymmetric square;
- square "on the leg";
- long "bob";
- square with short straight or oblique bangs.
A short haircut is a good way to save time washing, drying and styling thick hair. An unusual solution for a square on voluminous dense hair - "hidden coloring". With this technique, the bottom layer of hair at the back of the head is colored. From behind, the dyeing is completely invisible until the hair is gathered into a hairstyle.
On thin hair
The problem with fine hair is that it doesn't accentuate the shape of the bob. A short haircut will only emphasize the lack of volume. In this case, a cascade elongated square is recommended - the layering will visually increase the density. Another option is curls on the square, which will also distract attention from the lack of volume.
Features haircuts with bangs
Bobs and bangs are frequent "satellites". Similar haircuts were worn in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. At the moment, the fashion on the square has not changed - the same options are in vogue as 10 years ago. But the situation with the bangs has changed. The most relevant options for 2024-2025 are presented below.
