How the graded square looks and who suits

Graduated bob is not a universal haircut that suits absolutely all women with medium hair.

To choose a suitable hairstyle, you need to determine the type of face:

1. An oval face fits a square with strands that are long in front and shorter in the back. Uneven edges and an asymmetrical haircut will not suit an oval face, because they create a disproportionate image in which there is no harmony.
2. On chubby girls, a square with elongated strands at the temples (below the chin) will look good. The face will visually become oval, longer, and additional highlighting will make the hairstyle more interesting, focusing people's attention on the haircut, and not on the shape of the face. With such a hairstyle, oblique or asymmetrical bangs will look great.
3. Girls with a square face are often given an asymmetrical haircut (length is not fundamental) with torn bangs so as not to draw attention to the face.
4. A triangular face shape, like a square one, will suit a torn hairstyle with straight asymmetrical bangs.

If the proportions of the face are rounded, that is, close to the ideal, then the girl can choose absolutely any graded square.

You should focus on the hair structure:

1. Girls with very curly hair should not do such a haircut, because it will only create chaos on the head, but still, there are rare exceptions to this rule.
2. A graduated square on damaged hair of medium length looks normal only in a hairdresser, when specialists style the hair with special means, but after a day the hair is again devoid of volume and terribly bristling (you can find many photos of "deplorable" haircuts on the Internet)
3. Professionals often argue about thick hair. Some argue that a graduated square is a good option for girls with such hair. Others say the opposite, so before a haircut, you should ask for advice from a hairdresser who really knows his business.
