Tips for choosing a haircut for thin long hair, depending on their type
When choosing a particular haircut, girls take into account fashion, their desires and external data. It is very important not to ignore the type and structure of the hair.
Greasy hair
Haircuts for long, thin hair suggest additional visual volume. Oily hair gets dirty quickly, looks like icicles, and loses volume. Girls are strictly forbidden to make smooth hairstyles where the hair roots are visible. Perming will be helpful to reduce greasiness and make your hair look fuller and fresher.
It is not recommended to make a ladder for long oily hair, it is better to choose hairstyles without additional decorative elements, simple.
To hide stale roots, experts advise changing the parting (for example, making it oblique or zigzag).
It is strictly forbidden to weigh the hair down during styling. Do not use wax, it is better to take varnish and spray. To quickly give hair freshness in a short time, use dry shampoos.
Dry hair
Dry hair is the opposite of oily hair - it is airy, easily tangled, constantly electrified, the ends split. It is not recommended to use thermal devices during installation. If it is impossible to do without them, then it is necessary to use thermal protective agents, applying them before laying. During the drying of the hair dryer, put the coldest air.
Haircuts for long thin hair with a dry type should be stepped. Ripped ends should be avoided as the ends split by themselves and look untidy. To add extra volume to your hair, blow-dry it with your head tilted down. When the girl rises to the starting position, her hair looks much more voluminous.
Curly hair
For long curly hair, cascade haircuts, elongated bob, gavroche and hairstyles with bangs are most often done. The cascade is not recommended for small and thick curls, as the hairstyle will be very fluffy. The cascade will look great on long hair.
It is better to make strands of different lengths with ladder elements near the face. The parting can be made oblique or side, not necessarily even. An elongated bob is something between a cascade and a bob. The most interesting is an asymmetric square with uneven curls. Most often, such a square is made without bangs with short front strands.
In some cases, haircuts for curly hair are done with oblique, asymmetrical or longer bangs. It is not recommended to make bangs too short or to cut them too much.
Haircut options for thin and thin hair
If the hair is thin and thin, it is recommended to avoid short single-tiered and too long, sleek hairstyles. Styling with styling is not always durable. When choosing the right haircut, you should consider the shape of your face.
Face type | Recommended haircuts and hairstyles |
Oval | All hairstyles with and without bangs |
Round | Stepped haircuts: it is necessary to cover the cheeks, straight bangs and partings are not recommended |
Triangular | Straight lines are suitable, high bangs and elongated hairstyles should be avoided |
Square | Asymmetrical details and torn ends look spectacular, you should avoid even partings and bangs |
Diamond-shaped | Haircuts without bangs are suitable, covering the cheekbones |
To determine the type of face, there is a fairly simple way: you need to collect your hair in a ponytail, go to the mirror, draw the contours of the face on it with lipstick and define the figure.
Step haircuts for straight hair
Haircuts for long, thin hair should make the hair look more voluminous. The most successful way to visually add volume is multi-level step haircuts. There are many types of this technique.
Italian
This type of haircut is suitable for everyone, regardless of age and facial features. Its main advantage is that the strands almost always fit as they should, it does not require a long time for styling. Also, there is no need to visit the hairdresser frequently: even with regrowth of roots, the hairstyle does not lose its original appearance.
Bean
This haircut looks great on both thick and fine hair.
There are several varieties of it:
- short bob - makes the eyes more expressive, emphasizes the neck;
- With a bang - fits an elongated face, makes the image more delicate, feminine;
- square - Recommended for a round face, gives pomp;
- asymmetrical bob - ideal for any face;
- A-shaped bean - Suitable for round and square faces.
The hairstyle performs several functions at once: it masks the insufficient amount of hair on the back of the head, the side strands distract attention from the bald patches. The main advantage is easy styling.
Cascade
Haircuts for long thin hair of the cascade type allow you to correct different areas where the hair is less voluminous.
There are several types:
- double - the strands are cut in several layers along the entire length, leaving the borders invisible;
- graduated - the ends of the hair are cut so that they lay on top of each other, giving volume to the entire head;
- ragged - ends are cut randomly, looks most impressive on thin hair; the disadvantage of this type is that regular styling is required;
- frozen - used to add density to the bottom, for this the hairdresser creates levels.
A haircut is used most often for thin curls to increase their volume.
Elongated pixie
Pixie looks good on rare curls, devoid of volume. Multilevel technique adds splendor. The classic version looks advantageous with an oval shape and delicate facial features, modern variations suit any type. The main advantage is that it does not require complex styling; with skillful execution, the use of additional styling products is not required.
Swag
These haircuts are complex, since more than one technique is used. To get a beautiful hairstyle, you need to contact an experienced master. Swag style is characterized by bright hair color (like decorative paint in a hardware store) at any length and asymmetrical hairstyles with an emphasis on one half of the face.
Whiskey sheared to zero is considered especially popular.
A haircut can combine different hair lengths in one hairstyle. The main advantage of this style is the absence of complex styling. It is enough to curl the curls a little or beat a lush shock. A hairstyle may contain not 1, but 2 or more colors. Swag haircuts for long, thin hair retain their original look for about a month, after which a trip to the salon is necessary.
Stepped haircuts for curly and curly hair
Curls look feminine and sexy at the same time, and a little hooligan. To get a harmonious image, you must adhere to some recommendations. First of all, you need to take into account the elasticity of the curls and the structure of the hair.For tight and small curls, a length slightly below the shoulders is suitable, for curls with an average diameter - long hairstyles.
You also need to pay attention to the shape of the face.
A round and square shape needs to lengthen the crown, close the cheekbones, avoid lush sides, triangular - add volume at the level of the cheekbones and chin, oval - avoid excessive splendor.
In addition, they pay attention to the type of figure: overweight women are given more voluminous hairstyles, thin - less lush.
One-level haircuts
One-piece hairstyles are the lightest. It is important to remember that they look good on fine hair, but will not work well with thin hair.
Square
This is a fairly well-known haircut, performed with bangs and without, thanks to which you can go with any face shape. On a round and square face, it is ideally combined with oblique, torn and elongated bangs, as well as without it.
With an oblong shape, it is not recommended to make a square without a bang. Overweight women with a round face go below the chin, which hides the cheekbones and cheeks. The bangs, which originate from the crown, make thin curls thicker.
A-silhouette
Thicker edges are typical for the A-line cut. The front curls are superimposed on each other, there are always long strands with an oblique cut. This technique gives the curls the missing density. If the haircut implies the presence of bangs, then it gradually turns into the main strands.
With or without bangs?
The bangs add visual volume to the hairstyle, make it more accurate, and hide facial imperfections. The most popular techniques are graduation (with jagged edges), graphic asymmetry, and color splashes (light highlighting or coloring). It is advisable to lay the bangs while it is wet, do not let it dry disheveled.
When drying with a hairdryer, the air stream must be directed from top to bottom, use brushing. You should not apply a large amount of styling products on your bangs, as short hairs quickly become dirty.
By the way, if your hair is stale, and you don't have the time and energy to wash it, it is enough to wash your bangs and style them. If long hair is worn without bangs, then you need to find the perfect balance, for example, make a ladder near the face.
What haircuts for long hair are in fashion today
Today, haircuts are in vogue, which can be styled in several ways, depending on the image (a smooth bun for work, soft waves for a date). Torn ends and asymmetry are considered the most fashionable. The main trends are two opposites: a cascade for long hair and an even cut.
The pile is gradually gaining popularity, which is used for styling both short and long hair. Another hairstyle from the past that has found its fans today is the mohawk. True, you should not shave off all your hair: long enough to be laid smoothly on the sides, and in the center, braid a voluminous braid with pile. The latest squeak of fashion is the hidden ornament under the hair.
