Cascading haircuts for long hair. Photo with and without bangs, modern, fashionable

Owners of long hair will agree that the beauty of their curls takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, they choose haircuts that make styling and care easier. One example is a universal cascade, which has not lost its relevance for several years. Photos with hairstyle trends are proof of this.

Features of a cascade haircut for long hair

A cascade on long hair is a great opportunity to maintain the length of the curls, but at the same time add texture, volume and movement to them. This effect is achieved using a special cutting technique, which consists in creating transitions from shorter strands in length to long ones at the ends.

A cascading haircut for long hair (photos of various options can be seen later in the article) differs in the smoothness and depth of the layers. In order to achieve the most suitable result for the girl, depending on her initial data, the master selects the length and density of the curls.

To make the strands pass into each other, the ends are milled with special scissors or a razor. This technique creates a natural effect and lightens the upper curls, due to which there is volume at the roots.

The main types of the cascade:

• Classical. It is characterized by smooth soft lines, while the transitions from the crown to the ends of the length are noticeable due to the clear design of the strands. The top level starts from the neckline, which allows the hair to beautifully frame the face and hide the wide cheekbones and angular lower jaw.
• Graduated. To perform it, the master uses a special technique - she cuts the strands at an angle. Thus, the top of the strands is shorter than the bottom. Thanks to this, you can achieve both the most smooth transition between levels, and add textures to the top layer.
• Ragged. Its difference from the above options is the deliberate creation of contrasts between the strands. For this, the master actively mills the ends of the strands. The hairstyle turns out to be chaotic and rebellious.
• Two-layer. The haircut has 2 levels - the main length of the hair and the "cap" at the top. An abrupt transition in modern times is not appropriate, therefore, preference should be given to smooth lines and graduations. This cascade requires thick and dense hair so that the ends don't get too thin.

Advantages and disadvantages

To create a cascade, there is no need to shorten the length, which captivates girls who love their long hair. But, in addition to this, and other advantages of a haircut, there are also disadvantages that need to be assessed before visiting the salon.

Who is it for

A photo of the cascade on different girls demonstrates that it is able to decorate long hair of any structure and faces of different shapes. The main advantage and difference between haircuts and many other options is the variety of shapes, which allows you to choose the most suitable design for curls.

The master selects the length of the control strand, which will correct the appearance and fit the hair texture. Depending on the shape of the face, the front curls of the upper layer can reach the level of the tip of the nose, the lower jaw, or be below the chin.

The cascade is perfectly complemented by various types of bangs - straight, oblique, in the form of a "curtain" or an arch. It is also selected depending on the type of face contour.

Combination of cascade and hair types

Long hair allows you to embody a cascading haircut on different types of curls:

1. Thin hair without volume and shape due to the shortened strands on the crown becomes visually fuller and denser, especially if you put them on brushing or make large curls.
2. Thick, dense hair acquires volume and slight carelessness. A graduated cascade suits them best. In addition, the time for shampooing and styling is reduced significantly.
3. Wavy hair, which is unmanageable due to its structure, often looks split in length. The cascade heals the curls without shortening the length by cutting the upper strands.
4. Curly hair is also cut in a cascade. It makes the strands even along the entire length and removes excess volume at the ends. To avoid the effect of a round "hat", make 2-3 shallow layers. But you need to trust this haircut to a professional master.

Face types and haircut cascade for long hair

You need to take into account the features of your appearance when choosing any haircut. The cascade is no exception.

An important role is played by the uppermost strands, which visually bring the shape of the face closer to the reference oval:

1. For a round face, a cascade is suitable with the length of the control strand just below the cheekbones, side parting and oblique bangs.
2. Square and rectangular features can be softened if the shortest strands cover the temples and cheekbones, but expose the chin. You need to lay them to the face. The second technique for correcting appearance is a bang. For a "square", an oblique ragged version or "curtain" is suitable, for a "rectangle" a straight or arched bangs.
3. For a triangular face, the emphasis should be shifted to the bottom third to “fill in” the chin. The short strands of the top layer of hair reach the earlobes or descend slightly below. When laying, they can be made careless, and the profiled options are laid with feathers. A wide forehead will help to hide a straight, thinned bangs or "curtain" up to the tip of the nose.

The oval does not need correction, so girls with this face shape can afford any options. The only remark is that you should not make long bangs on one or two sides for the owners of an elongated face, since this technique visually lengthens the oval even more.

Cascade haircut technique

A cascading haircut is not difficult in technique. it is preferred by those who want to shorten the styling time or do without it. It is important for the master to choose the number of transitions, their depth and the degree of thinning.

There are 2 types of cascading haircut techniques:

1. Choose the length of the control strand (CP) at the back of the head and cut it over the head. Then the number of layers required is calculated. They are cut at the top, leading along the length to the checkpoint.
2. The length of the CP is determined at the crown and cut by pulling the hair in front of the face at the level of the bridge of the nose.Subsequent levels are designed in the same way.

Long hair haircut step by step:

1. At the preparatory stage, they wash their hair. Wet hair combes well.
2. If the cascade will be combined with bangs, then the hair near the face is separated in advance for it.
3. Then the curls are divided into 3 zones - occipital, parietal and temporal.
4. The master will separate the BC at the top and cut it at right angles to the head.
5. On each side of the occipital zone, strands are taken, pulled upward, equal to the CP and cut at its level. The lower strands of the occipital zone may not reach the level of the BC, so they need to be cut to the level of the strands that were located above.
6. Then the master goes to the parietal zone and repeats the haircut in the same way. Importantly, you need to cut the strands symmetrically and immediately from both sides of the head. Whiskey is made out last, controlling their equal length.
7. At the end, an edging is made - a straight, semicircular or triangular cut.
8. On dry hair, the master proceeds to bangs. It is important that it gently enters the front strands.
9. The haircut is dried and pulled on a round brush. After that, the master makes thinning transitions and, if necessary, trims the lower cut.

Haircut cascade with bangs

A cascading haircut for long hair, a photo of which shows many options, is perfectly complemented by a bang. She completes the image in an interesting way and adds zest to it. In addition, this detail is now at the peak of its popularity. It can be highlighted with a headband or scarf.

Due to the airiness of the haircut and the absence of straight lines in it, it is important that the bangs continue the idea of ​​the hairstyle.

An even thick version with a clear cut makes the image heavier and does not at all fit into the cascade with its flowing curls. An alternative is a profiled straight bang, the ends of which cover the eyebrows and are slightly curled inward. It is perfect for girls with a rectangular and elongated oval face, as it hides the forehead.

Oblique bangs are the most versatile option that suits all face shapes, it is only important to find your length:

1. For a round face, all options for thinned bangs are suitable - short graduated, medium and elongated. The diagonal cut will hide wide cheeks and bring the face closer to the oval. But the cascade itself is not made in the form of a “cap”.
2. Thick, elongated bangs make the rectangular facial features more sophisticated. You can enhance the effect with the help of careless beach curls, which will be favorably emphasized by a cascading haircut.
3. In a square face, you need to hide wide cheekbones and soften the massive lower jaw. This can be done with a graduated bang that covers the cheekbones or a long diagonal bang to the level of the chin.
4. The "triangle" is also perfectly adjusted with a bang. The short layered option will mask the forehead, allowing the chin to look more harmonious.

Cascade with long bangs

Long bangs can add elegance to the hairstyle and volume at the roots. Of all types, it is the most versatile, as it suits both straight and wavy hair, and also hides the angularity of the face.

Features of long bangs in a cascading haircut:

• The length can vary from the tips of the lips and below. In any case, the bangs will fit perfectly into the hairstyle, as they will continue the front strands.
• Due to the length, the bangs are easy to lay. It can be pulled out onto a round brush, slightly rounded at the end and given volume at the roots, or smoothed out with an iron. If you want to make curls, the bangs are twisted from the face.

Haircut cascade for curly hair

Many people refuse to do any haircuts on curly hair and prefer to wear a straight cut. But on long curls, the curls begin to lose their beautiful uniform curl, and the entire volume is concentrated at the bottom, and not at the roots. The cascade will help return a structured and neat look to the strands.

Features of performing a cascading haircut on curly hair:

1. By creating transitions and shortening the strands along the length, the curl takes its original shape, and the curls are evenly distributed along the entire length. This immediately adds volume to the crown.
2. A correctly executed cascade will not only return the lost texture to the hair, but also facilitate styling. To accentuate natural curls, a girl will need a diffuser for a hairdryer. To do this, lower the head down and press the nozzle to the roots during drying.
3. On coarse hair with a small curl, it is extremely difficult to implement a cascade. The haircut looks harmonious on soft curls and tames their naughty look.
4. If you want to make a bang, preference should be given to the elongated or oblique option.

Haircut care

In order for a haircut to please as long as possible, you need to properly care for it:

• Regardless of the type and structure of hair, a standard care regimen is used: regular cleansing of the scalp with a suitable shampoo, moisturizing with a balm or conditioner and nourishing with a mask 1-2 times a week. The hair is washed as it gets dirty, and spray or oil is applied before combing and styling.
• For those who prefer styling with hot appliances, thermal protection is a must.
• With frequent use of styling products and dry shampoos, thoroughly cleanse your hair and scalp. Therefore, peeling and deep cleansing shampoo are added to routine cleansing. They are used according to the instructions, as a rule, 2-4 times a month.
• To make the cascade look neat, the haircut is updated once every 2-3 months as the hair grows back.

Can you make a cascade on long hair yourself?

Cascade refers to haircuts that you can do yourself. But for girls with naughty curly hair, it is better not to experiment, but still trust the master.

The rest need to arm themselves with a tool in the form of hairdressing scissors, clamps and combs and follow instructions:

1. Wash the head and let the hair dry until it is damp.
2. Tie the tail. The higher it is, the shorter the control strand (CP) will be.
3. The first strand is separated and pulled forward over the bridge of the nose. It is placed between the index and middle finger and cut with scissors.
4. Further, the above-described principle applies. The strands are cut, focusing on the CP.

You can also trim the cascade without the tail. Divide the hair into levels and pin them with clips. The strands are cut in front of the face, starting from the parietal zone, and moving towards the back of the head and temples. At the end, you can shape the ends and tweak the cut by throwing hair forward on both sides.

For those who want to make changes in their appearance, but cannot part with long hair, a cascade is an excellent solution. A photo of various options confirms the fact that the haircut looks very fresh and feminine. With her, you can try to do different styling - from the usual straight strands to large Hollywood curls.
