Graduated square with lengthening with and without bangs. Photo, who suits

A hairstyle such as a graduated bob is popular with women. Made with lengthening, it is universal, suitable for any age, face type and complexion. On the one hand, it is trendy and stylish. But on the other hand, it is not devoid of elegance and conciseness, therefore it will complement both a youth and a classic look.

Features, advantages and disadvantages of a graduated square with lengthening

The features of the hairstyle are in its advantages:

• suitable for everyday and festive looks;
• not demanding for styling (5 minutes of work with a hairdryer and a comb is enough);
• suitable for any type of face;
• helps to fight hair problems - dullness, loss of volume, rarity.

Thanks to the unique cutting technology, volume and shape are maintained even on a dirty head. The hairstyle should be renewed depending on the hair growth rate (on average, every 2 months).

Among the disadvantages are the difficulties of finding a master. Due to the complex cutting technique, not every hairdresser will get down to business and perform it efficiently. The other negative side is that all the advantages are lost, if you do not maintain the shape, the correction must be carried out systematically.

Who is the elongated graduated square suitable for?

The graduated square with lengthening is suitable for all women, regardless of the type of face or hair. Exceptions are girls with a chubby neck. The main emphasis of the oblique haircut is on the chin and neckline. Therefore, the disadvantages will be clearly visible. In this case, it is better to choose a classic straight square.

Haircut design methods

In a technical sense, only 2 options for the design of a graduated square are considered: with and without bangs. Details are presented in the table.

Haircut with bangs

When a haircut with bangs is planned, they are guided by the only rule: the shorter it is, the smaller the circle of women for whom the hairstyle is suitable. Slightly regrown and oblique - this is an option suitable for everyone.

Direct model

Straight bangs in a graduated square are rarely used. The face must be perfectly shaped. If there are flaws, the hairstyle will definitely emphasize them. Also, straight bangs are not available on thin hair. It keeps on its own volume, because its ends are not torn.

Oblique model

Asymmetrical bangs, when one of the corners drops below the eyebrows, is a classic format for a square with lengthening. It suits any type of face.Asymmetry is selected taking into account its shape, and discussed with the master. Stylists are quickly able to determine which shape and which bangs will work.

When done with a parting, the bangs should be in harmony. If a hairdresser suggests leaving the bangs intact with a parting, this is an illiterate master. Better to find another.

Torn model

Torn bangs are the most popular option when creating a graduated bob hairstyle.

It is available in 3 forms:

• sine or angular. Some of the strands fall off the eyes, so it is not recommended for people wearing glasses;
• opening eyes. The bangs go in steps, they go down to the temples, but have an even row parallel to the eyebrows. Suitable for girls who are not used to having their hair in their eyes, or those who constantly work at a computer;
• with a sharp transition. The most difficult type. One side is trimmed to eye or eyebrow level, the other falls low. For a girl who is not used to experimentation or extravagance, the hairstyle will not work, because it is too defiant.

Haircut without bangs

A square with a graduation is usually not performed without a bang. But there are rare exceptions. The format is suitable for long hair. Then the bangs are parted into two parts, and fall off on both sides of the face.

Selection of a square for the type of face

There are several hairstyle options. You should choose according to the type of person.

Round

A round face needs to be visually narrowed. Therefore, hairdressers advise making light waves. Then the volume is minimal, but the form is present. The same technique, but in the opposite order, is used with a narrow face - many small waves increase splendor, visually pushing the cheekbones.

Square

For a square shape, it is better to choose an oblique shoulder-length haircut. Slight asymmetry will also visually enlarge the forehead, but narrow the chin.

Oval

A graduated square with lengthening is ideal for owners of an oval face. It is considered exemplary, therefore, you can choose any design method, including asymmetry.

Triangular

Owners of a triangular face need to opt for a short or long oblique haircut. Averaged hairstyles will emphasize flaws and will not highlight advantages.

Daily styling methods

To style your hair quickly, follow a few stylist tips:

• the head must be wet so that the styling product is evenly distributed over the entire surface;
• the strands are raised at the ends, but the hair dryer is applied at the roots;
• the tips are slightly curled inward to keep the shape longer.

Do not use varnish. The hairstyle is based on playfulness and a kind of disheveledness, while varnishes fix the hair, make it "glassy".

Perm

Curling looks good on girls with an oval or elongated face shape. Owners of chubby cheeks and wide cheekbones should refuse it.

There are several ways to curl, each of which gives the hairstyle its own uniqueness:

• slight negligence - strands of 1-1.5 cm are wound on the hairpins with an eight, secured with elastic bands. Then they are sprayed with varnish, left for 2 hours;
• large and soft curls - the strands are first treated with mousse or foam, then rolled on curlers with a diameter of 2-4 cm (depending on the length of the hair). Dry with a hairdryer, then remove the curlers, and comb the head with your fingers. If some curls are naughty, they are fixed with invisible hair color;
• Marilyn Monroe style - tilt the head in front of you, dry the roots with a hairdryer. The hair is parted by 2/3. Small strands are selected, wound on classic curlers. A hairdressing net is put on, and on top is a mousse or other fixing agent. Through it, the hair is dried with a hairdryer until completely dry. The strands are whipped and stacked with your hands (the comb will ruin the volume).

Volume

To securely fix a voluminous hairstyle, follow the instructions:

1. Wet hair at the roots is treated with mousse or foam.More funds will be required in the occipital area.
2. Starting from the back of the head, strands are captured, dried, pulling to the temples.
3. Having reached the crown, the strands are pulled up parallel to the head.

To create a voluminous hairstyle, it is important not to rush, carefully process each strand. Otherwise, "dips" are formed.

Straight hair

When the hair is naturally straight, you only need to rinse it, use the gel to fix it, and dry it with a hairdryer. If the hair is wavy, then first wash it, wipe it with a towel (so that water does not drip, but is wet), then use an iron to straighten it. You cannot often use electrical appliances that burn the hair structure (maximum - 3 times a week).

After use, make moisturizing and firming masks.

Disheveled hair effect

The hair is washed, dried with a towel, and a strengthening agent is applied to the roots.

Further according to the instructions:

1. Several large strands are distinguished.
2. Use a round comb to create curls by curling the ends.
3. Comb with a comb with sparse teeth.
4. Fix the hair with a hairdryer.

The tricky part of creating a hairstyle is that you need to act quickly. Delay will not give the desired result, since the mousse or foam will dry before the hair dryer fixes the final hairstyle.

Classic styling

To create a classic styling, use the instructions:

1. Mousse or foam is distributed at the roots of clean and damp hair.
2. The bangs are laid separately with a straight comb and a hairdryer.
3. Strands of 3-6 mm in diameter stand out, twist with a comb downwards.

After creating the strands, the head is lowered in front of you, and at the roots are passed with a hairdryer with a diffuser nozzle. Required for volume expansion and fixation.

Wet hair effect

A gel is applied to wet hair, and a curling of the strands is manually created. Then you need to go through with a hairdryer, slightly lifting the roots to create volume.

Evening styling methods

Light curls are suitable for a festive event, which can be done according to the instructions:

1. The head is washed and lightly dried with a towel (not a hair dryer).
2. A fixing foam or mousse is applied along the entire length of the hair.
3. Strands of 1-2 cm in diameter are applied to papillotes.
4. If you have enough time, you can let your hair dry on its own. When a hairstyle is needed urgently, dry it with a hairdryer.
5. When the hair is dry, remove the curlers, comb them with your fingers.
6. The hairstyle is fixed with hairspray, or glitter, to create a festive mood.

When curls are rolled on curlers, some ends remain straight, knocked out of the general style concept. In this case, it is better to use a curling iron, twist them, then fix with varnish.

Prom hairstyles

The prom is an event where girls should look their best.

Available to choose from several hairstyles for a graduated square:

• Greek style. A low tail is gathered, the strands near the temples are pulled out of the elastic. A rim is put on top, under which curls wrap behind the ears;
• Hollywood curls. It is better to do the parting not straight, but by 2/3, and on one side hang the curls over the shoulder. Then you can add playfulness and carelessness to the image;
• curls. Short hair curls up, creating the image of an inaccessible and business lady;
• bunch of the bride. For a very short bob, it will not work to do a hairstyle. The bundle is gathered with hairpins to match the color of the dress.

Haircut technique bob with graduation

The main task of the master when creating a square with a graduation is to correctly maintain the degree of inclination. The transitions in the haircut allow you to increase or decrease the volume.

There are several professional techniques that are selected by stylists depending on the hairstyle chosen by the client:

• large strands with a diameter of 7-10 mm stand out, are pulled upward, cut with straight lines;
• medium vertical strands stand out, not exceeding 10 mm in length. They are pulled to the side, cut with straight vertical lines;
• the middle vertical lines are highlighted in the front part, extended parallel to the head. Trimmed at an angle to create the effect of torn hair;
• parallel graduation with a change in the degree of inclination. Used to create symmetrical haircuts.

On short, medium, long hair

The technique does not change depending on the length of the hair. The only difference is the tilt degree. The longer the hair, the greater the degree can be. It is also easier to choose an asymmetrical hairstyle with long hair.

For thin and thick hair

For thin hair, thinning technology is maintained. After cutting, horizontal strands are taken, and thinning is carried out, starting from the roots. Thanks to it, the volume increases. But hair will become even rarer, so changing your hairstyle afterwards will be difficult. If a square is made for thin hair, and at the same time the face has an elongated shape, you cannot remove them by the ears. This greatly spoils the image.

It is better to create voluminous styling, use curls, curls.

Thick hair will create a voluminous look without any styling. In this case, you cannot make a square with chubby cheeks and wide cheekbones. It can be thinned out by thinning, but the volume will still quickly return with regrowth of hair.

On curly curls

When the hair is naturally curly, it is cut wet. This is the only way to maintain the desired degree of inclination. In the process of cutting, the hair dries out, so you need to wet it constantly. A graduated square with lengthening on curly hair looks advantageous. You do not need to wind curls every day, and styling does not take much time.

For the owners of curls, stylists have prepared a few tips:

• highlighting visually increases rare curls;
• wash and dry curls from roots to ends;
• taming curly hair is more difficult, so a stock of hairpins and invisible hairpins will never hurt;
• it is often impossible to straighten the curls, the iron greatly spoils the structure.

Caret with graduation for any age

Classic or graduated square - unifies age, so you can use a haircut, regardless of the year of birth.

There are several features of the hairstyle:

• light feathers "take away" for several years. Highlighting or playing with colors can be chosen by young girls. It is better for women of Balzac's age to dwell on a natural monochromatic shade;
• classic graduated bob at the same time facilitates styling and visually makes a woman younger;
• graduated bob-square gives the image sophistication, rigor and elegance. It is better to smooth the ends, but beat the top of the head voluminously;
• an asymmetric graduated square is chosen by women suffering from age-related hair loss.

Extension of the graduated square at the back

The graduated square with lengthening at the back looks elegant and fashionable. In this case, the length is left on the occipital area. The side curls barely cover the earlobe. The volume is concentrated at the crown and falls down towards the back of the head. The back extension is suitable for fine and thin hair. Due to the thinning of the tips, their abrupt structure, a volume is created that is not enough for the specified type.

A square, elongated at the back, is performed using a similar technique. Initially, the contour is selected, then the ends are cut off at the corners. Then the master trims the tips to create volume.

Graduated bob is an avant-garde hairstyle that becomes more spectacular if it is successfully colored. Classic highlighting, tinted bonding or highlighting bright strands, contrasting coloring - all this is allowed and actively practiced by hairdressers when creating hairstyles with lengthening.
