Pros and cons of an elongated square

Who is an elongated square suitable for?

This haircut will definitely suit women with pronounced cheekbones. Strong features like a square chin will also be smoothed out by this hairstyle. This hairstyle looks most advantageous on thick hair. You can conduct a couple of experiments with them - make an asymmetrical haircut, bangs. Thus, you can add volume to the hair and hide the thinness of the face.

Only professionals will be able to correctly determine which haircut and styling option will suit individual characteristics.

Types of elongated bob, fashion trends

The elongated bob, the photo of which is presented later in this article, has retained the status of a popular and sought-after hairstyle for several seasons. Depending on the shape of the face, the characteristics of the hair structure (heavy straight, airy curly, naughty hard or slightly curly) and your own preferences, you can choose one of the types of hairstyle.

For instance:

• square of medium length with straight bangs;
  
• classic elongated square;
• asymmetrical elongated square;
• bob bob;
• graduated elongated square;
• square "on the leg";
• square "ball";
• torn square;
• square without bangs.

More details about each type will be described below.

Long bob with straight bangs

Straight bangs are appropriate in combination with an elongated oval or triangular face. Elongated strands falling along the cheeks to the chin will only emphasize its grace and harmony. This hairstyle is best done for those who naturally have straight and fairly heavy hair. This will eliminate the need for their daily straightening with an iron or hairdryer.

The bangs will set the mood for the whole image. For example, a heavy long bang to the eyebrows will add severity and elegance, and a very short one will add fun and mischief.

Square "classic" with lengthening

One of the best options for this hairstyle remains the classic. The classic square is distinguished by the same length of strands both in the front and in the back. This haircut is suitable for owners of curly hair - it will be easier to style them. The elongated classic square is also suitable for any life occasion, from working in the office to going to a party.

You can create an interesting evening hairstyle with such a length of hair without any problems - they are calmly braided, twisted and pinned with hairpins and invisible hairpins.

Photos of such styling options can be found in this article. For a romantic look, it will be enough to twist your hair with a curler or curling iron. It is also much easier to paint a classic square than, for example, asymmetrical or "torn". Here you can more accurately distribute the color, stretch it more (thereby ensuring a smoother transition of shades).

Caret "asymmetry"

This type of hairstyle is suitable for those who do not like to style their hair for a long time in the morning. Asymmetrical haircuts are good for this - the strands here are of different lengths, so they fall in different ways.

It is enough to simply comb and style them in the simplest way (depending on the type of hair):

• With a hair dryer and a large comb. The strands need to be pulled out a little and combed.
• Moisten a little with water and smooth with your hands.
• Foam can be used to fix "creative mess". The main thing is to ensure that the strands do not stick together.

An asymmetrical square can often be seen on young girls. This haircut adds freshness and emphasizes the beauty of the young face. Particularly interesting are the options with the maximum shortening of the strands in the back and their gradual lengthening in the front (facial strands can flow down to the chest).

This contrast will look incredibly stylish and can be combined with any outfit. A simpler asymmetry is done with a subtle change in length. This hairstyle is easier to style and easier to collect in a ponytail, donut or small braid.

Bob-car with lengthening

The bob haircut gained popularity back in the 80s of the XX century. Her inherent splendor and disorderlyness still remain an inspiration for most girls. The voluminous "bob" is gradually returning to the streets, only in a slightly modified form. Now they've added length to it, making it a more versatile option.

An elongated bob, the photo of which is posted below, such as a bob, can add volume to even very thin hair... All due to the strands, which are trimmed by the master according to a certain pattern. Outwardly, the hairstyle resembles a chaotic cascade. It will suit confident women who are not afraid of looks from the outside, because the elongated bob will definitely attract the attention of others.

Graduated square

This type of elongated bob looks equally good on curly unruly hair and straight. The second name for such a haircut is stepped. It looks like a cascading one, but it has a significant difference: the strands here are not lengthened from top to bottom, but from the back of the head from the chin.

This hairstyle is not official, but rather playful. More suitable for young girls than middle-aged business women. Its main plus: hair does not need to be styled, it fits well on its own.

Square "on the leg" with lengthening

The hairstyle received such a funny name due to the similarity with the structure of the mushroom - a hat on a leg. The usual square "on the leg" is performed with a strong shortening of the strand both in front and behind. In the version with lengthening, the front strands are released to the chin. In most cases, a square "on a leg" is found in combination with straight, neat bangs.

The main secret of this hairstyle lies in the correct styling. It is necessary to add volume to the hair on the back of the head, and to stretch the curls.... Curls and waves will destroy this austere structure and look ridiculous.

Ball type square with lengthening

This haircut option will allow you to create a cute voluminous "hat" of hair on your head. It will not suit a square type of face, but an oval or elongated triangular is just right.

Hair in such a hairstyle can be styled in any way - curl, straighten. The fleece will add additional volume. But it is worth remembering that it is very harmful to hair, so you should not often resort to it. The "creative mess" looks especially cool - strands sticking out in all directions.

Features of a haircut with oblique bangs

A beveled bob, as this hairstyle with oblique bangs is also called, is an excellent option for those who by nature did not get thick thick hair. When creating it, the hairdresser greatly shortens the strands in the back, and leaves the length in front to the chin (or slightly lower).

The hair is laid to one side, a straight parting here gives way to an oblique part. On curly hair, this hairstyle looks even more advantageous - natural volume is given to the curls.

Features of a square with torn bangs

Atypical "torn" bangs are suitable only for the same atypical haircuts. For example, with a classic square or strict asymmetrical, it will look strange. But the torn bangs will be a great addition to the graduated square.

Creating a fashionable effect of a little wind-matted hair with such a haircut is as easy as shelling pears. You can also lay them in a "prickly" manner - with your fingers using gel or foam, slightly stretch and ruffle the strands. Great styling option for a party. And if you comb these bangs to one side, you get a gentle romantic look.

Elongated bob without bangs

A square of such a plan will well hide too rounded and prominent cheeks, and will also stretch the face. For the same reason, girls with a thin oval face should refuse it. The hairstyle is simple and elegant enough.

You can diversify it in an unusual way of staining:

• gradient;
• ombre;
• stretching color;
• highlighting.
  

An unusual hair color (for example, bright red) will also refresh the hairstyle. Is it possible to make a square with thin hair? It is possible, only in this case they need to be properly laid. Here are some tips for styling fine hair in a bob cut.

The classic styling method is suitable for girls with an elongated face:

1. Damp hair should be pulled out with a hairdryer.
2. Distribute the strands on a straight or side parting.
3. Comb the hair on the back of the head and fix it with varnish.

The easiest and fastest way to do styling is with foam or gel:

1. On still wet hair, apply the selected product, distribute with your hands along the length.
2. Dry with a round large brush.
3. Then shake the hair with your hands, giving the hair the desired shape.
4. Parting is done after drying - straight or oblique.

It is best to wind dry hair on the curling iron. This reduces the risk of burning them. And thin hair is much easier to add volume, as it is lighter.

Hair coloring: interesting options for an elongated bob

The most suitable coloring option for an elongated square is ombre (shatush). Hair length allows you to stretch the color and create smooth transitions. Today, craftsmen prefer natural shades. Even the "effect of regrown roots" has come into vogue. With this staining, one color is selected, close to natural.

If desired, you can make a gradient coloring of 3 colors.

Another type of staining for an elongated square is balayazh. It's an interesting blend of highlights and ombre. In this case, the strands are shaded along the entire length - there is no sharp transition as when dyeing the shatush. The palette of colors for coloring can be any - from natural colors to rainbow colors.

Shades should be chosen based on:

• the structure of the hair and their condition (lightening is contraindicated for overly weakened hair);
• eye color;
• color type of skin;
• own style in clothes and make-up.

The elongated bob fits all face types. You can make such a haircut more original if you add unusual coloring or non-standard bangs to it. Before going to the salon, you should familiarize yourself with the options for haircuts in the photo and styling of this type, but you do not need to get hung up on one thing. The most valuable advice will be given by the master in person.
