Until recently, shaved whiskey in women was associated with a rebellious character and a daring appearance, because initially such haircuts were an element of the image of representatives of various subcultures. But now it's a great way to experiment and add a twist to your look for all girls.
Features and varieties of haircuts with a shaved temple
Shaved temples mean incomplete hair removal in this area, although this option has a right to exist. Most often they are cut under a typewriter and a 3-6 mm "hedgehog" is left. Almost all haircuts are taken as a basis, especially short ones.
From which side to do, what width, to use a pattern or not - this all has no restrictions, since shaved whiskey differ in many options for their execution.
For instance:
- One temple. It is appropriate with any hair length. As for which side to do, it depends on the direction of growth of the front strands and their condition. Stylists advise shaving your temples where the hair is not so thick and damaged.
- Two temples. Most often combined with short haircuts that open the neck - bob, pixie, square on a leg. With long curls, only girls with thick and dense hair can implement this option, since they will have to get rid of a significant part of them. To show off shaved whiskey, you need to wear a ponytail or braid your hair.
- Patterns and additions. You can still continue to work on a simply shaved temple.
It is complemented with patterns in the form of stripes, zigzags, various intersections of lines, painted in a different color, and bold natures can decide on a tattoo in this area.
Pros and cons
Haircuts with shaved temples, for women in particular, are always an experiment. It is important to be prepared for the fact that you need to part with part of your hair and attract a lot of attention, because this fashion trend, along with admiration, causes a collapse of criticism. Therefore, before visiting a stylist, you should consider these points, as well as familiarize yourself with the positive and negative characteristics of the hairstyle.

Who is the hairstyle for?
Shaved whiskey, according to stylists, is a very capricious experiment that is not suitable for everyone.Owners of dark thick hair, soft expressive features and high cheekbones look best with them. Oval, round and triangular face shapes are the most suitable for a haircut, especially if you shade the cheekbones with bronzer.
The wider and higher the temple, the more important it is to adhere to the above recommendation. For example, light thin hair creates the illusion of a complete absence of strands in the temple area. The haircut also looks ridiculous on light-colored red hair.
Shaved whiskey with a high height is not suitable for owners of a narrow elongated face, as they visually stretch the oval even more.
A win-win for everyone - a short, narrow temple on one side and an elongated bang. You should also pay attention to the condition of the skin. Open temples highlight imperfections, so it's important to take care of your face and use concealers if necessary.
Don't forget about the dress code. Short haircuts are more organic with shaved temples and go well with office style, but long hair and an active temple look quite daring, so those who work at work with a strict dress code should abandon this idea.
How to choose a haircut
The shape of the face is the main limitation when choosing a variation in the design of the temple.
At the same time, thanks to a properly selected hairstyle, you can make facial features more proportional and harmonious:
- haircuts with two shaved temples and side bangs, as well as one temple and long hair are suitable for a square face;
- a round face will become visually longer if one shaved temple is supplemented with an elongated oblique bang;
- a rectangular shape with a pronounced line of the lower jaw will become softer if you make a narrow temple and supplement it with bangs to one side so that it covers part of the chin;
- owners of the "oval" and "triangle" face shapes can afford any options for the height and length of the temple;
- for girls with sharp facial features, it is better not to make pronounced asymmetric temples, this will add coarseness and even greater rigidity to the lines of the chin and nose.
There is a way to find out if a shaved temple will work - comb the hair on one side, smooth it and fix it. You can try to change the height and length of the combed temple, add bangs to determine the most successful option. As for age, a shaved temple suits everyone.
Mature women should take a closer look at short haircuts - an elongated bob with one temple, pixie, gavroche.
Long hair will look ridiculous and add age. All hairstyles suit young girls, but it is important to choose them according to your face shape. As for the length, it all depends on personal preference and hair density. The thicker the hair, the wider the temple can be shaved, and it can also be covered by parting on the other side or in the middle.
Hair color
Haircuts with shaved temples, for women in particular, are suitable for all hair colors, except for light hair. Most often, their owners have thin curls, which, when cut, create the effect of the absence of hair, moreover, they "steal" the volume from the hairstyle.Classic is a solid hair color.
But brown-haired women, brunettes and dark-blond ones can highlight the temple or individual strands in other colors: red, blue, bluish-black, purple. This option is quite bold and suitable for extraordinary personalities. Most often these are creative people who love changes in appearance, and are ready to support the image - complement it with the appropriate outfit and makeup.
For mature women, it is better to abandon the experiment with multi-colored strands and focus on rich natural shades - chocolate, chestnut, ash-blond. To refresh the appearance, you can make thin strands in lighter shades.
Square with shaved temples
The bob is a classic haircut loved by many women. It features a straight or profiled cut below the earlobes.A shaved temple will deprive her of strict conservatism and allow her to change her image every day. After the stylist has made the shape of the haircut, he highlights the temporal strand and cuts it under a typewriter.
Depending on the thickness of the hair, you can make the following hairstyle options:
- one high temple from the parting, which will open the area at the ear;
- narrow temple up to neck level;
- two short temples;
- two high temples that go behind the ears.
To make the haircut look austere and fit the office style, you can select a small area of the temple and leave about 1 cm of hair. If you want to hide this detail, make a parting in the middle or throw your hair to the other side. A square on a leg can be supplemented not only with a shaved temple, but also with the back of the head. But this option is only suitable for brave girls with thick hair.
Bob with a shaved temple
Due to the shorter main part of the hair than in the square, and the volume on the crown, the shaved temple is not so striking, therefore it organically complements the haircut and retains its original appearance.
A bob with a shaved temple has the following features:
- a haircut is suitable for owners of thin, thin hair, especially if you make careless styling from wavy curls;
- since the lower jaw and chin are open, the bob is suitable for all face types, except for the pronounced "square" and "rectangle";
- hairstyle requires constant styling;
- elongated bangs and an asymmetrical cut will be an excellent addition to a haircut;
- suitable for girls and women of different ages due to its discreet appearance.
Depending on the styling, you can create both strict images that are suitable for educational and work everyday life, as well as more daring and original ones. For the second option, it is enough to raise the curls due to the root volume, comb them back and separate thin strands that will be knocked out of the total mass of hair.
Asymmetrical haircut with a shaved temple
A shaved temple is already part of the asymmetry in women's haircuts. Even a simple hairstyle with a straight cut already looks different if the temporal zone is highlighted. The asymmetry is very diverse, so it allows you to change your appearance every time. A competent stylist, due to the details, can beat the shape of the face and make it more harmonious.
Asymmetric haircut options:
- shaved temple, elongated bangs to the level of the chin and medium hair length;
- asymmetrical hair length (shorter on one side, longer on the other) and narrow temple;
- asymmetrical bob with a short side and oblique bangs;
- pixie with bangs to one side and with a temple on the other side;
- a tomboy with cascading strands and two temples;
- elongated bob with an active shaved temple.
To get a successful haircut, you need to take into account your hair structure and face shape:
- "Triangle" and thin hair - haircuts with volume on the crown and thin temples;
- "Circle" and thick hair with a light wave - bangs to one side, high temple and a cascade of medium length;
- "Square" and "rectangle" - thin temples with elongated bangs, covering the corner of the lower jaw.
Shaved bangs
This is one of the most shocking options, since in this haircut, the temporal zone is shaved to the level of the parting or a short bang is left, covering a small part of the forehead or hairline.
An informal hairstyle with an ultra-short is suitable for owners:
- smooth high forehead;
- oval and triangular face;
- clean well-groomed skin without wrinkles.
The option when, in addition to the temple, the hairline is shaved, where the bangs should be, is also capricious, and not suitable for everyone. Such a haircut visually lengthens the face and makes its features more expressive, so girls with a rectangular face and hard lines should refuse such an experiment.
With long hair
Haircuts with shaved temples, women's long hair only decorates. It is at this length that the image is easy to transform.Today you can demonstrate a shaved temple, and tomorrow throw the curls to the other side and hide your rebellious nature. There are no restrictions on the height and length of the shaved temple at all. The higher it is, the more contrasting the hairstyle will be.
But it is best to leave at least 1-1.5 cm in length so that this area does not look strange compared to the bulk of the hair. The main feature of long hair and the presence of a shaved temple is the variety of haircuts and hairstyle options.
This could be:
- even or semicircular cut;
- cascade;
- ladder on one side;
- two shaved temples and straight bangs;
- oblique bangs;
- even smooth hair;
- afro curls.
The easiest way to style your hair is to curl your curls and toss them to the side opposite your temple. The second option is to tie a high ponytail or braid the fishtail to one side. If the temple is shaved 2-3 cm from the top of the ear, then you can braid a narrow braid and separate the hair with it to the level of the parting.
For medium hair
This is the most successful hair length as it suits every hair structure and thickness and all ages. Most often, a shaved temple with them is a compact piece that exposes the ear and reveals a piece of the neck. It can also be formalized as a "secret".
To do this, the master cuts out a small strand, which will eventually cover the main part of the hair from the parting. To demonstrate the temple, it is enough to tuck a curl behind the ear.
It is combined with such hairstyles:
- a cascade on an average hair length to the level of the shoulder blades;
- elongated square;
- bob square;
- Aurora;
- asymmetry;
- ladder;
- various types of calibration;
- oblique bangs.
The thicker the hair, the wider the temple you can afford. For thin hair, preference should be given to narrow stripes above the ear and careless styling of wavy curls.
Short women's haircuts with shaved temples
This is the optimal hair length, at which the shaved temples may not be conspicuous and harmoniously continue the haircut, or become an extravagant element of the hairstyle.
Such short haircuts are taken as a basis:
- short bob, ear-length;
- pixie;
- Iroquois;
- tomboy;
- hat.
You can do many options with them: one or two temples, short or long bangs, chaotic mess or smooth styling. If the transition to the temples is made smoothly, then the overall look will look soft and elegant. With a clear border of the temple, the hairstyle becomes more rigid and daring.
The same goes for styling short hair. Smooth combed hair or strands laid on top are a symbol of severity and strength of character. If you slightly curl the bulk of the hair or remove it behind the ear, then the image will turn out to be gentle and romantic.
Options for curly hair
Owners of wavy and curly hair have no restrictions when deciding to shave their temples. For the most part, they are used to endless styling, so even such an experiment is within their power. Slightly curly hair works best with shaved temples on any hair length, and for afro curls, shoulder length or slightly lower is suitable.
The hairstyle can be supplemented with additional braiding, which will extend the temple and hide at the neck level.
Short hair may require additional styling, as it often curls erratically after washing, so a haircut with clear temples and elongated curls laid on a diffuser is suitable for them.
Combined with a shaved head
Haircuts with shaved temples (women in this regard are not inferior to classic men) can be combined with a shaved head.
Most often, these are short options that, without unnecessary manipulation, will be immediately noticeable to others:
- square on a leg;
- pixie;
- a hat with a voluminous crown;
- page;
- Iroquois;
- bean.
The shaved nape can have any shape and height - a semicircle, a straight line, a regular or an inverted triangle. It is also complemented by coloring, shaving patterns, tattooing.
The idea of a shaved nape on long and medium hair is suitable for girls with thick curls, since they will lose volume in a loose hairstyle. To demonstrate your experiment, high tails, bunches will do.
Styling features
The temple itself does not require additional care and styling, except for regular haircuts to maintain a neat appearance. You can do this yourself once every 2-3 weeks or go to your master. But the hairstyle itself needs to be shaped.
Simple styling tips:
- All styling is done on clean, freshly washed hair. For this you need a hairdryer, iron, curling iron.
- To fix and give the structure of the curl, you will need styling products: foam, mousse, spray, cream, varnish.
- The easiest way to style long and medium hair is to comb it to the opposite side of the temple and fix it with an invisible one at the neck level. The second option is to make a high ponytail or a sloppy bun.
- To create volume, short hair is dried with a hairdryer and a diffuser nozzle, for long hair, a bouffant is required. It can be done with a narrow comb or curling iron.
- An iron is used to straighten the hair, and a curling iron for curling. Thermal protection must be applied before using them.
- Special attention should be paid to the bangs, since it, like the temple, immediately attracts the eye. While drying your hair, you need to pull it out on a round brush, and also, if necessary, go with an iron a couple of times.
- For short hair, use texturizing sprays to highlight individual strands. They can be fixed with gel or wax.
What to combine with
Despite the fact that shaved whiskey is very demanding on the general look of the girl, they can either complement the outfit of a rock star or be combined with elegant evening looks.
But here the general condition of the woman, her sense of style and taste also plays a role:
- For creating everyday look high-waisted jeans, leather pants, shorts are suitable. Upstairs you can wear a T-shirt, wide T-shirt or sweater. In the cold season, an oversized coat, a leather biker jacket, a cropped down jacket, and a denim jacket are worn as outerwear.
- Office dress code more demanding, so here the questions are not about clothes, but about the hairstyle itself. Short haircuts with shaved temples and neat styling are allowed. They are combined with trouser suits in a masculine style, complemented by oxfords or pumps, a sheath dress, skirts with airy blouses.
- For gala evening a holistic image plays a role. An evening long dress and a small clutch will be combined with no less elegant styling. For long hair, curls to one side are suitable. Short hair can be smoothed or curled for a romantic, delicate look. Large or elongated earrings are suitable accessories. On the ear where the temple is made, you can put on a mono-earring of an unusual shape, but then the decoration on the neck should be minimalistic or completely absent.
- The easiest way to work with youth images, because there are no restrictions on style. It can be casual, sport chic, grunge. But it is important that the character of the hairstyle matches the whole image, and does not stand out from it. For example, a tough mohawk will not fit an airy romantic dress, just like light beach curls will not fit into the image of a rock star.
Shaved whiskey for women is one of the ways to diversify your usual haircut and hairstyle, without resorting to a radical change in length. For those who are afraid of change and do not want to change their image, a compact version of the temple design, which can be hidden behind the main hair length, is suitable.
