The graduated square looks spectacular on light brown and ashy hair with the effect of highlighting or coloring. For blondes, it's best to opt for sleek, classic haircuts. Shatush, ombre and other two-tone colors also look beautiful on elongated squares.
Types of elongated square and their features
A bob is a general definition that combines many types of haircuts of different lengths - from ears to shoulders in a straight or beveled line with lengthening at the face. There are several subtypes of haircuts that differ in shape, style, length, and the presence or absence of bangs.
Long bob with straight bangs
With the lengthening of the bob - this is a haircut for longer hair. That is, the main length will be shoulder-length or slightly lower. Straight bangs are usually trimmed along the brow line, although some people like short bangs that are half their forehead. The width of the bangs depends on the thickness of the hair and the client's wishes.
A haircut of this type is suitable for women with hair length from the middle of the neck and below.
The edges can be made straight, oblique with an elongation in the front or asymmetrical, where on one side the hair is shorter and on the other longer. Such a square looks fashionable on the owners of an oval and round face, because the square visually lengthens it and makes it thinner.
Square "classic" with lengthening
Classic bob is one of the most unique haircuts that suits absolutely everyone, looks beautiful on both straight and curly hair, looks perfect on blondes and brunettes. Best suited to oval or triangular faces.
The classic square came to us from Ancient Egypt, where it was customary for women to cut their hair in one length. It was with such a haircut that Queen Cleopatra went (according to historical sources). The bangs in this haircut emphasize the sophisticated features of the face. In 2024, oblique bangs for the classic bob haircut are back in fashion.
Bob-car with lengthening
An elongated bob square can be done with straight bangs, no bangs, or asymmetric. The total length of a classic bob is to the middle of the ear, although when combined with an elongated bob, it reaches the middle of the neck.
Such a haircut is not recommended to be full and chubby, because visually the face will seem even fuller.
Graduated square
It is trimmed, starting from the crown, alternately pulling the strands up and cutting them to one length of the control strand. Due to this, the square looks like a cascade. This allows you to create extra volume and style with different length ends.Graduated squares are suitable for chubby ones, because they will visually make the face more sophisticated.
Asymmetrical long bob with bangs
The asymmetry lies in the fact that the hair length is shorter on one side than on the other. This haircut is suitable for young girls with thick hair. For such a haircut, bangs are rarely cut, although if desired, you can.
Square "on the leg" with lengthening
The best option for those with thin or thin hair. The main characteristic of a haircut is a bare neck and elongated strands of hair near the face. On such a square, bangs can be cut thick from the middle of the head.
The hairstyle allows you to visually create volume at the crown. Highlighting or coloring looks spectacular.
Ball type square with lengthening
A spherical square is the shortest of all, its length - to the ear. Due to thinning, volume is created, therefore a haircut is called a ball. It is only suitable for an oval or triangular thin face, you cannot make such a haircut full or for those who have a square or round face, because a haircut will increase it even more.
Double extended bob
This is a double length haircut. The lower hair is cut so that the crown area is 2-4 cm shorter. This creates the volume and shape of the haircut. This square looks spectacular on light or streaked hair.
How to cut a long bob with straight bangs
The haircut is done in several stages:
- You need to wash your hair.
- Then divide the hair into zones.
- Further, the algorithm of actions depends on the type of haircut. If this is a graduated square, then you need to start from the top of the head, if it is a classic or “on a leg” - from behind.
- First, a control strand is cut, according to which the total length of the haircut is determined, and all hair is cut along it.
To determine symmetry, you need to pull up on both sides in a lock and compare their length.
Haircut care rules
The haircut holds its shape for about 1-1.5 months, because when the hair grows back, it is slightly lost. To maintain, every few months you need to update the haircut and trim the ends of the hair a little. After washing, you need to do styling and in no case go to bed with a wet head.
Daily hair styling methods
Styling directly depends on the type of haircut. To lay the square, you will need the following tools:
- hairdryer;
- round comb (brush or skeletal);
- foam / styling gel / mousse.
It is better to use a foam or mousse, because they do not weigh down the hair like a gel. Wash your head and pat your hair well with a towel. The entire length of the loan is covered with foam.
Styling with a hairdryer should start at the back of the head and go up, combing the hair in such a way as to create root volume. If your hair curls a little, you can use a straightening iron for your bangs.
Evening hair styling methods
Evening styling can be different and directly depends on the event. For a business dinner, you can make a bun and flatten your hair, if the length permits, or leave a haircut with styling. For a romantic walk, you can braid braids, make a bun or a bow. An elongated bob can be cut into hair of any length (except for short ones).
Depending on the type of haircut, different hairstyles are obtained with straight, oblique, asymmetrical bangs or without it at all.
