Pros and cons of elongated strands in front and short in back
Hairstyles with lengthening look voluminous, therefore they are suitable for thin hair.
But haircuts have other benefits:
- these stylish models are universal, do not depend on the age of the owner. They look great on young girls and grown women;
- such haircuts are suitable for any face shape;
- correct appearance flaws: chubby cheeks, protruding cheekbones, double chin, and other defects;
- keep the length of curls, make it possible to change the image;
- make the images soft, feminine.
Despite the positive qualities of haircuts, they have their disadvantages:
- hairstyles like this are ideal for thick, straight curls. But they are categorically not suitable for owners of excessively curly, wavy, fluffy hair. They will look messy. You will have to flatten the strands daily with an iron, lay in layers;
- women with a wide, massive neck should not do haircuts that open the back of the head. They will only highlight this drawback. Better to give preference to more successful variations.
How to choose the perfect front extension hairstyle?
The haircut in the back is short, in the front it is long makes women's images modern, stylish. Today, several models are in greatest demand, which are among the leading trends in fashionable hairstyles.
Ladder
A haircut like a "cascade" is hair of different heights, styled in a stepwise order from root to tip. The average length of the strands is considered the most successful for this hairstyle. They also do it for short, long curls.
It differs from a cascading haircut by the most smooth transitions along the length of the hair, by strict stepped lines located next to the face. There are also mixed versions of both hairstyles.
In the process of creation, the haircut takes on a voluminous, flowing shape. A similar effect is obtained thanks to the multilayer technique, competent thinning of the ends of the strands. The master alternately cuts the curls towards the crown in such a way that each next bunch is shorter than the previous one.
Who suits
A universal haircut has no restrictions, it is suitable for women and girls, regardless of age, face shape, hair type (except for naughty wavy, small curly curls, the texture is not visible on them). You just need to choose the length that suits, the order of cutting the strands, the method of hair dyeing.
A suitable hairstyle is selected depending on the type of appearance.
| Round face | A haircut will visually stretch the oval, make it more correct. Slanting transitions will give it softness. Elongated, graduated curls will mask chubby cheeks. The hairstyle is complemented with asymmetrical bangs. |
| Oval face | Almost any haircut option goes. |
| Square face | Rough facial features will soften oblique, smooth lines, torn, beveled bangs, asymmetric side strands. Uneven curls on the top of the head also look good. |
| Triangular face | Sharp facial features will correct curls of different lengths, side strands twisted inward. A narrow, pointed chin will smooth out an oblique, torn, asymmetrical bangs. |
| Rectangular / elongated thin face | Curls are placed next to the oval, slightly going over it. At the top of the head, they create volume, complement the lush bangs. |
On the "ladder" haircut, natural, calm tones, unusual, aggressive shades look good. The hairstyle does not require frequent correction. It is enough to visit the master 1 time / 3 months.
Cascade
A haircut in the front is long, in the back it is short in a cascade design, often confused with a "ladder". But these are two completely different styles, differing in technique. In the second version, the curls are cut along the oval.

| Oval face
| Almost any kind of "cascade" and bangs are suitable. When choosing a haircut, consider the structure of the hair.
