Haircut Garson for women 40-50 years old for short and medium hair. A photo

The garcon haircut was originally worn by males. More than 50 years ago in France, girls began to resort to short hair, which marked the beginning of a new fashion. The garcon haircut has become the embodiment of the elegance of a woman and real French charm.

Haircut garcon for short hair

The Garson haircut for women of 50 years old is in demand among women of all generations. There are two types of hairstyles for short hair: classic, ultra-short.

Classic garcon

Stylish haircut for short hair, involves smooth hair, neatly styled in the shape of the head, like a hat. The curls in the parietal part are slightly elongated in relation to the bulk of the hair. The contours of the hairstyle are even, without sudden changes in length.

The occipital and temporal strands are often milled. Often the classic garcon shape is performed with bangs. Slightly elongated and milled front strands are popular.

Ultra short garcon

The main difference between the ultra-short version is the length. Strands along all lines from the crown to the temples are cut as much as possible, leaving no more than 3 cm. Thinning is avoided. The contours of the haircut are even and neat. The often arched bangs without thinning complements the look.

Elongated garcon

An elongated garcon is a more practical and versatile haircut option. Thanks to the larger length, elongated bangs and temporal locks, the hairstyle is able to mask facial imperfections in the form of square cheekbones, full cheeks or an imperfect head shape.

Owners of curly hair should pay attention to the elongated garcon.

By reducing the length too much, there remains the likelihood of turning into a dandelion, but the average length will allow you to effectively style the curls, avoiding negative consequences. The long haircut option allows you to use torn strands, which gives your hair extra volume. Let's admit the option of a stepwise haircut, in which thin strands of the hairstyle fall on the face and neck.

Advantages and disadvantages of garcon haircuts

How to tell a garcon from other short haircuts

The Garson haircut for women of 50 years old does not leave the ratings of the best short haircuts along with pixie, gavroche and page. Despite the distant similarity, the hairstyles differ significantly both in appearance and in technique.

Garson is perfect for fragile girls and women over 50 years old with a thin neck. Having no age restrictions, the haircut emphasizes the elegance of the owner and testifies to her courage and inner strength.

To be sure to decide on the choice of a haircut, it is worth knowing the features of the hair and appearance that the garcon is able to emphasize favorably:

1. Hair structure:

• • Straight curls are ideal.
  • Slightly wavy strands look playful and romantic.
  • A haircut adds volume to fine and thin hair.
  • Very thick curls work just as well in a garcon haircut if you avoid the ultra-short hairstyle.

2. Face shape:

• • An oval face looks beautiful with any haircut, the garcon is no exception.
  • A round face visually eliminate the disadvantages of an asymmetric garcon with oblique bangs.
  • A square face looks harmonious with a classic / elongated haircut in combination with asymmetric bangs or side parting.
  • A triangular (cat) face looks good with an elongated garcon and long bangs.
  • A high forehead will be successfully hidden by thick bangs.
  • Garcon looks best on angular, narrow faces.

Who is not recommended for a short haircut garcon

A haircut is very demanding on its owner and has a number of contraindications:

1. Hair structure:

• • It is not recommended to make a short haircut for ladies with curly hair. There is a risk that without daily straightening, the hairstyle will bristle in different directions, resembling a dandelion.
  • Too thick hair should not be wrapped in an ultra-short garcon. Strands literally "stand on end", it will be impossible to correct such an oversight.

2. By face type:

• • Short haircut variations are contraindicated for owners of a round face. Neglecting bangs is just as unforgivable.
  • Girls with prominent cheekbones should abandon the shortened haircut.
  • It is not recommended to opt for a short haircut for girls with large facial features.

Bangs options that blend harmoniously with a garcon haircut

There are the following types:

1. Straight bangs. Usually reaches the eyebrow line, or drops a few mm below. Has a smooth edge with a clear geometry, is rarely thinned. Suitable for oval faces. The shortened version - up to the middle of the forehead or slightly below, suits girls with a round face.
2. Oblique bangs. Not limited by length standards, may have a smooth, milled or torn edge. It harmoniously balances the features of a square or round (sometimes called feline) face. Not suitable for curly hair, as it quickly loses its well-groomed appearance and loose hair gets into the eyes.
3. Graduated bangs. It is performed in several layers, depending on the haircut. Softens the features of a square and round face. Graduated bangs are believed to create a rejuvenating effect.
4. Arcuate bangs. Similar to the classic straight bangs, the cut has an arched shape. The shortest part is located at the level of the nose, gradually increasing as it approaches the edges. Bangs are ideal for creating a classic style and harmoniously highlight the beneficial features of any face shape.
5. Curly bangs. An eccentric front strand design suitable for a bold look.Such bangs are characterized by a clear cut of different shapes - a triangle, heart, wave or any other contour. Only the imagination and professionalism of the stylist can become a limitation in choosing the shape of the cut. Such bangs require constant care, adjustments, and in some cases, regular fixation. Looks best on dark hair.
6. Layered bangs. It is performed on thick hair with a straight or serrated cut. Layering adds volume to the hairstyle, and also hides the angularity of the facial features. A shortened version of multi-layered bangs will wait for ladies with small features.

The variety of bangs is wide, and all of them are combined with a garcon haircut, but oblique asymmetric or short bangs should be the most preferred options. This addition will best emphasize the slight negligence of the garcon.

Garcon haircut technology

A haircut is made using the strand-by-strand method on washed, slightly dried hair. It is best to avoid completely removing the vagi from the curls to facilitate the process.

Cutting technology involves the following sequence of actions:

1. The hair part of the head is divided by parting into the following parts:

• • 2 temporal.
  • Parietal.
  • Occipital.

The occipital zone is divided horizontally into two equal parts, from which a phased shearing of excess length begins.

2. On the lower zone of the back of the head, a curl up to 1 cm in diameter stands out, which will become the control strand. It is worth remembering that dry hair looks shorter than wet hair, so it is better to set the length with a small margin.
3. On the entire occipital area, an oval edging is performed, or in the shape of a crescent. The strands are pulled down when cutting. The work is carried out from the middle parting towards the right ear, and then symmetrically reflected in the direction of the left ear canal.
4. The angle of inclination of pulling the strands changes depending on the treated area:

• • The control strand is 00.
  • The mid-occipital part is 900.
  • Top of the head - 35-400.

5. The hair on the temporal lobes is cut by the method of separating the curl from the ear with a parting. The parting line should be parallel to the hair growth. The first trimmed strand sets the length of the hair in the treated area, the rest of the curls are trimmed using the external graduation technique.
6. The length of the haircut in the parietal zone corresponds to the last strand of the temporal part. A small part of the hair of the parietal zone, with a diameter of about 0.5 cm, is captured by a comb along with a lock of the temple (as a guideline for length). The hair is cut in fine strands from the back of the head to the forehead. Each cut is made in strict accordance with the control curl.
7. If the haircut involves a bang, it is worth taking care of it at the stage of processing half of the parietal zone. The thicker the check is supposed to be, the more hair mass will be required for it.
8. When the desired length is reached in all zones, the foreman checks the symmetry of the cuts on the right and left sides. Adjustments are made as necessary.
9. At the end of the haircut, the hair is dried with a hairdryer until completely dry and styled according to the wishes of the client.

How to style a garcon haircut

The Garson haircut for women (50 or 20) has been a bold step since the release of La Garçonne by Victor Marguerite. Since then, the hairstyle could not remain unchanged.

The rather short hair length of the garcon haircut still leaves a wide choice of styling for every day or for special occasions:

1. A slight carelessness effect can be achieved by applying a small amount of styling foam to the hair, and then drying it with a stream of cold air.
2. A clean look can be created with hair wax. A small amount of styling product is applied to dry hair. The curls are combed until they become smooth.
3. Asymmetrical styling is achieved by transferring the parting to one side after shampooing. Wet hair is dried with a cold stream of air, combing in the chosen direction. The finished result is fixed with wax.
4. Glam styling with slicked back hair is done on dry hair. A sufficient amount of styling product is applied to the comb and comb the strands in the desired direction. To make the hairstyle more voluminous - at the roots, the strands are slightly raised.
5. The retro wave is back in fashion again. Clamps are required to create it. Clean, dry hair is styled and fixed. The same result is achieved with a curling iron.
6. The classic and elongated garcon shape can be tucked into a defiant rocos. This will require a special gel and a flat comb.
7. Garcon goes well with accessories in the form of hairpins, headbands and hats.
