For those who have naturally soft and not naturally thick enough hair, it is better not to make abrupt transitions, as this will only emphasize the existing drawback. But it is better to choose an asymmetrical bang. She will provide the proper volume. It is better to wear such bangs on one side.

Thinning is categorically contraindicated. For additional volume, give preference to coloring. A qualified master colorist will competently place color accents, for greater visual splendor of the hairstyle.
A well-chosen shape of an elongated square also depends on the shape of the face:
- Oval face. For this face shape, it's hard enough to choose the wrong haircut. Almost everything suits girls with an oval face shape, and there is no limit to experiments.
- Triangular shape. It is better to choose a Square with a smooth transition from the back of the head to the strands of the face. The longer the front strands are, the more elongated your face will appear. Don't forget the bangs. Soft, ragged or oblique bangs will help balance the facial features.
- Square face shape. An elongated square in this case should be below the cheekbones, the lines should be smooth, neat. This will help soften heavy cheekbones. It is better to refuse bangs.
- Rectangular shape. In this case, you also cannot make sharp transitions. But the asymmetrical bangs should become a mandatory accent in the haircut for such girls.
- Round face.Long front hair strands will help to visually stretch the face, while hiding chubby cheeks.
Don't forget your age. A properly chosen haircut will help freshen up the look, otherwise it will only add extra years. Young girls can afford any experiments... For example, you can cut an elongated bob with a very short back of the head and the most elongated front strands. You can add creative coloring.
For older women, more classic options are suitable, which involve a minimum of care and do not require frequent haircut correction.
Another important point that cannot be ignored is the hair structure. For girls with straight hair, such a haircut is shown. Any variation of an elongated square is suitable for them. Such a haircut is also ideal for owners of wavy hair. Light natural curls will bring softness and femininity to the image.
