Having looked at the photo of a cascade of haircuts for long and short hair, with bangs and without bangs, you can easily determine the desired option.
Features of a cascade haircut for short hair
A cascade for short hair (a photo without a bang represents a haircut visually) has a simple technique of execution: as a basis, the desired type of short hairstyle (pixie, bob or square) is taken and the result is achieved by imposing a cascade.
The advantage of a short cascade lies in the selection for the type of face: the shape of the eyes, the shape of the nose, etc. An important component of a haircut is the presence of hair steps.
Also, in the area of the back of the head and temples, stepped tips are traditionally cut, similar to "feathers" from the hair. The effect of lightness and volume is achieved by thinning the ends. Craftsmen use special scissors. Experienced hairdressers-stylists trim the strands with a sharp razor.
Hairstyle benefits
The haircut has the following advantages:
- The hairstyle does not need complicated care. To look irresistible, all you need to do is use a hairdryer, wax (or use another favorite product). In addition, thin strands acquire volume, curls are easier to style, and there are no troubles with combing. This significantly reduces the amount of time spent on installation.
- The cascade is able to refresh the girl's appearance, allows her to look younger and more romantic.
- On any type of hair, it looks as if it was matched to personal characteristics. The cascade will look great, regardless of the shape of the face.
- The cascade does not dictate the frames in the color palette. The haircut looks equally interesting on blondes, brunettes and girls with red hair. Coloring, highlighting and other color modifications in popular techniques are welcome.
- Visually corrects the face. A cascade is a way of rounding a straight face. The shape is rounded off by styling with the tips towards the cheeks.
- The cascade goes well with and without bangs.
For which hair is the cascade recommended?
A cascade for short hair (photos without bangs will be presented later in the article) is usually performed on medium-length hair.
It is not recommended for owners of thick and coarse hair. The first level of the cascade will be impossible to style, the ends will not curl themselves, and the hairstyle will not keep its shape at all, as it should be with the cascade. They will turn in different directions, creating inconveniences with the distribution of volume.
The hairstyle looks more advantageous on hair that has a soft texture, especially if it naturally curls with large curls. In this case, the cascade looks light, gentle and natural.
Is it possible to use a ladder on curly strands
The haircut perfectly emphasizes the curls, especially the large ones. But you should carefully select the upper level of the haircut. If the master makes it very high, the hair will become unruly. Better to apply the cascade closer to the ends.
If a girl has very curly hair, it is worth choosing a different haircut, because the hair is naturally endowed with volume and you should not resort to increasing it with the help of hairdressing, as there is a risk of getting a very lush hairstyle, instead of stylish. In addition, the cascade itself ("steps" of the hair) will still not be noticeable.

Choosing a hairstyle in accordance with the shape of the face
A cascade for short hair (a photo without a bang makes it easier to choose a haircut) for a round, oval, square, triangular face is chosen differently:
- Round face cascade does not fit. It is better to adjust them to the level of the cheekbones or slightly lower. Asymmetry deserves the attention of the girls. Avoid short or straight. The roundness hides the side parting well. You also need to avoid fleece and volume on the bangs, as this emphasizes the volume of the face.
- Square face cascade... A ladder suitable for this type should start from the midline of the temple. If a girl expresses a desire to make bangs, then it makes sense to make it oblique or short.Laying the tips out is worth it.
- Cascade for a triangular face... It's good if the choice falls on a cascade with a side parting. You do not need to give preference to short bangs in order to get away from weighting and reducing the face. Stylists do not recommend making straight, thick bangs, volume on the first layer of the cascade, curling the strands outward.
- For an oval face haircuts with volume are suitable. A cascade with sharp strands is the most advantageous option, since the strands bring to the fore the cheekbones and cheeks. It is necessary to exclude a cascade with airy curls passing to the jawline.
Styling this haircut taking into account the type of face
The recommendations for laying the cascade are as follows:
- For a round face. If the girl is a fan of curled hair, then the waves should be made unobtrusive, and it is better if they start below the chin. It is necessary to avoid even parting and volume at the level of the cheeks.
- For a square face. Try to lay the ends of the cascade out. The mass of hair should be concentrated in the area of the crown. Light waves are a great addition to your hairstyle. Curls are located along the face, and on the back of the head, it is permissible to make a small fleece.
- For a triangular face. In this case, on the contrary, it is necessary to abandon the volume at the crown and in the area of the temples. It's good if the mass is concentrated on the jawline. The ends should only be laid inward.
- For an oval face. An excellent option would be to give the effect of a slight carelessness with the ends tucked in the middle. Curls from the midline of the full hair will look good. If there is a bang, it is better not to pull it back and do not raise the crown of the head.
What hair color is suitable for a short cascade
The cascade for short hair is combined with golden brown and warm chocolate colors. The styles of haircuts without bangs or with bangs shown in the photo will help you choose the intensity of color schemes, determine the addition of coloring and highlighting or blonding, which will help to highlight every nuance of the cascade silhouette and give volume to your hair.
If the volume is already in abundance, then you should give preference to a monochromatic shade. An unprecedented option would be to support the classics by the classics, and vice versa: unusual options will be emphasized by unusual coloring.
Regardless of the length of the hair, the cascade (photo without and with bangs) remains the leader of all known haircuts. But on short hair, it is most often used. A variety of techniques and styles gives you a chance to choose a haircut for every taste, for any appearance.
