Bright and interesting haircut Gavroche has not gone out of fashion for several decades. Often women do it for medium hair. The result is a mischievous, bright, youthful image. How such a haircut looks in different versions, we will consider further with examples in the photos.
What does a 70s haircut look like in 2024?
The surge in popularity of this unusual haircut happened almost 50 years ago. Since then, she has never completely disappeared from sight. Its popularity has remained at about the same level. But in recent years, modern women of different ages again increasingly choose this bright and original haircut for themselves. It is especially relevant for short and medium hair.
The name "Gavroche" comes from the book of Hugo. That was the name of one of her characters - a teenager with a perky and somewhat sloppy hairdo. If 2-3 decades ago the discussed haircut was more often chosen for themselves by men or girls who are fond of rock and roll and deliberately emphasize that they are not too concerned about their own appearance, today everything has changed.
In recent years, this hairstyle is very popular among mature women. Hairdressers began to do it a little differently. Now each strand has its place, and there is no more "chaos" in the hair. Women put it more neatly using special means.
If earlier for a Gavroche haircut, the bangs were often simply cut arbitrarily, receiving asymmetric strands, now they are made both even and oblique. The final choice depends on the shape of the face and other features of the girl's appearance.
It was in 2024 that one of the most popular options was Gavroche with a shortened straight bang. She is cut in such a way that almost the entire forehead is exposed. There is only a hairline of minimum length at the very top. This haircut option looks very stylish and modern.
Who is suitable for a haircut by face type, age?
The most important feature of this haircut is its versatility. It suits almost everyone. And - not only for the fair sex, but also for men.
It does not matter at all: straight or curly hair in a person, thick or sparse, as well as other similar characteristics.
Even 20 years ago, hairdressers assured that the hairstyle suits only young naughty girls. But in recent years, everything has changed. The haircut itself has slightly changed, which means that adult serious women have begun to choose it more and more often.
But sometimes the Gavroche haircut is still used to divert attention from minor natural imperfections in appearance.
| Who is particularly good for a haircut? | What result will be achieved? |
| Girls with a square or triangular face | Symmetrical curls on 2 sides will smooth out high cheekbones and visually slightly change the shape of the face, bringing it closer to the cherished oval |
| For owners of curly hair of medium length | All day long hairstyle will look attractive and do not require re-styling |
| Women with insufficiently thick and thin hair | Correctly cut Gavroche creates the effect of lush and thick hair, even if in fact they are not. |
Round-faced ladies can also afford this haircut.But they will need to choose not its classic version, but asymmetric one.
There are also cases in which it is not entirely appropriate. For example, a strict business style in the image. Therefore, it is not worth choosing a Gavroche haircut for bank employees, government officials and everyone who has a strict dress code at work.
Features of the Gavroche haircut on medium hair
The Gavroche haircut for medium hair, the photo of which can be seen later in the article, has several features characteristic of any of its types:
- slanting whiskey;
- elongated strands at the back of the hairstyle;
- significant volume at the crown.
These characteristics make the hairstyle versatile. To look great, sometimes it is enough to shake your hair and lightly style it with your fingers dipped in the gel.
If the haircut is performed on medium-length hair, then you should take care of the bangs. Then the whole hairstyle will look more harmonious. At the same time, bangs can be any - even, oblique, asymmetric. It is also believed that Gavroche for medium hair is poorly suited for owners of naughty thin and very fluffy strands. But this option is optimal for curly girls.
When cutting on medium-length hair, the master will remove mainly the length from the sides, as well as work with bangs. But the top of the head is practically not affected. The lowest strands can remain as long as the shoulder blades. In this case, the girl will always be able to collect them in a beautiful high ponytail and, if necessary, make spectacular evening / holiday hairstyles.
Gavroche looks especially interesting for medium hair with original coloring. For example, when coloring, highlighting, highlighting individual strands with bright colors. Of course, when choosing a suitable option in this case, you need to take into account the woman's age, her place of work, hobbies.
Haircut variations with and without bangs

Among them, 5 main ones can be distinguished:
- classic - usually performed with bangs and the latter, together with the strands at the temples, forms a neat triangle;
- with symmetrical strands - while the back hair remains as long as possible, and the rest is gradually shortened towards the frontal part, reaching a peak at the temples;
- with an emphasis on bangs, which (depending on the structure of the hair and the type of woman's face) can be straight, asymmetrical, even, milled;
- with thinning strands - the hairstyle turns out to be voluminous, lush, airy, even if the hair is thin and thin;
- asymmetric - the bangs are cut obliquely, and the length of all the hair on the sides is different.
The listed hairstyle options can be performed on hair of different lengths. But they look most interesting on the middle one.
Sometimes girls cannot choose the optimal hairstyle variation for themselves for a long time or change their mind after visiting the hairdresser. But you don't have to constantly re-cut your hair to try different styles of Gavroche. It is enough just to lay the strands in different ways after washing your hair. For example, toss them to the other side of the hairstyle.
Male Gavroche
The Gavroche haircut, as noted above, was originally male. Or rather, teenage. She was most often chosen for themselves by school boys. Over time, stylists have developed an adult version of the hairstyle. It turned out to be more voluminous with a free perky styling.
