Options
Over the years, the popularity of the hairstyle has undergone many changes and additions. Creative hairdressers have created several popular hairstyles.
Classic beanie
The classic version of the haircut is worn exclusively without parting and always with bangs. The most optimal here is a straight thick bang, starting from the crown of the head and ending at the eyebrow line or slightly higher, merging with the temples. All curls are trimmed with alignment along the bottom edge.
The ends are folded inward.During styling, the hair is slightly straightened with an iron and treated with a medium hold varnish. For a special occasion, mousse or foam is used for styling.
Haircut with a smooth transition
A fashionable haircut option involves a smooth transition from the crown to a short-cropped back of the head. It is possible to perform a cascade with a smooth transition from a voluminous crown to long curls. Such a "hat" will allow you to keep long strands and add extra volume to your hair.
Hat without bangs
Since the bangs are an integral part of this haircut on short and medium hair, the "Hat" without bangs is possible only for long hair. This option is suitable for adding extra volume to hair that is not too thick and maintaining its length.
Thus, soft lines with smooth transitions are created, and the ends of the strands always look well-groomed. Then the front hair is simply combed to the side, revealing the forehead.
Haircut hat with bangs
The bangs form the silhouette of the entire hairstyle, so a haircut for medium hair and short hair is simply not possible without it. In most cases, it is carried out to the middle of the forehead or eyebrow line. For more modern and daring personalities, even oblique and elongated bangs that fall on one eye and cover part of the face are suitable. A haircut hat looks impressive with any kind of bangs.
Asymmetrical beanie
This is a versatile haircut that suits every look and style and has many variations. Every day this haircut can be styled in different ways. Any coloring and coloring is suitable for it.
Most often, to create asymmetry, the masters make hair on the right and left of different lengths, asymmetrical bangs, or uneven geometry (when sharp corners and torn lines of bangs and strands replace smooth transitions) and a double hat (when the haircut is performed in 2 levels - the bottom completely the earlobes are closed, and the upper one runs along the line of the temples).
Bulky hat
A voluminous haircut "Cap" on medium hair, short or long looks great. The key role here is played by the length of the strands at the crown - the shorter they are, the more voluminous the hairstyle will be.
A voluminous "Cap" for long and medium hair will suit owners of any type of face.
Haircut bob hat
To the already familiar configuration of a classic haircut, sharp elongated strands in the front are added. The length of such strands reaches the chin line or cheek line, but no more.
