The half-box with a bang is a striking example of a classic and very popular haircut now. It is not only suitable for almost everyone, but also very comfortable to wear. It is universal and suitable both for “going out,” and for everyday life and sports. It is about her and her features that we will talk in this article.
What is it like?
The half-box haircut occurred both in name and in appearance from the box haircut.
Boxing is a short haircut worn by boxers for convenience. It was practical - near the temples, the hair was shaved and did not interfere during the battles.
But if the hairstyle rather resembles a slightly overgrown "hedgehog", then the half-box is done with a relatively long bang. Despite this, the semi-box, like boxing, has a clear outline.
In a half-box haircut, the back side (back of the head) and temples are cut short or even shaved. A feature of the haircut is a smooth transition from long hair to shorter. In the bangs and little temples, strands can reach 7 cm in length, and up to 3 mm on the sides and near the temples. The length of the strands may vary depending on the modern influences of fashion or on the innovations of the master. The half-box is that rare type of haircut, which, with suitable design, goes to people of all ages.
Who is it for?
The owners of such a haircut can be both men and women.
But, since initially only boxers wore such a hairstyle, which for the most part were men, even now representatives of the stronger sex also make such a haircut. The half-box emphasizes the cheekbones of the male face, so it goes to almost all types of male faces and complexion.
In relation to men, it is worth noting that a half-box with a long bang goes to owners of slightly curly and sparse hair. For men with straight and thick hair, a half-box to the side with a long bang is suitable. Also, this haircut is for men with a round head shape and / or square, oval-shaped faces.
Do not make a half-box haircut for men with an elongated and too thin face. This is due to the fact that such a haircut lengthens the face, so you should not emphasize excessive thinness with a half-box. Do not make a long bang to the owners of too curly hair.
As for the fair sex, then everything is the other way around, and it is best to wear such a haircut for women and girls with delicate facial features and an elongated, triangular face shape. Such a haircut is suitable for owners of high and beautiful cheekbones. Long fluffy bangs make the half-box more feminine and graceful haircut. Girls also have long bangs with asymmetrical parting.
It is worth noting that the best half-box looks on young people with a taut body, with regard to both girls and men.
This haircut looks best on fair hair. Moreover, the brighter the color of the hair, the shorter you can make a haircut on the sides.
But this is only a couple of general remarks, and in most cases everything is individual.
Design Tips
To make the semi-box look more original, it can be painted in bright extraordinary colors in combination with natural hair color. Especially this design is suitable for girls. A striking example of the original design of the half-box is the hairstyle of the singer Pink. For a more voluminous hairstyle, you can cut the hair on the back of the head with feathers.
If a girl has too “long” or large forehead, then the situation can also be corrected by a half-box with a long bang on one side. For boys and guys, for originality, they sometimes shave a pattern or even inscriptions with a shaving machine. Most often these are various geometric shapes or lines.
As noted above, using the half-box, you can correct the irregular or asymmetric shape of the head. True, this will require a hairdresser who knows his job well. A good half-box looks good with a little stubble, passing through the whiskers into a haircut.
Proper care
Due to the fact that such a haircut is short, it does not require special care in everyday life. You just need to wash your hair regularly. For girls, owners of a half-box with a long bang, it will be necessary to lay a bang after washing the hair with a hairdryer. It is not necessary to spend a lot of time on this, it will be enough to “pull out” a bang a hairdryer a couple of times.
It is important to know that short haircuts, like this one, grow back quickly, so in a few weeks you will need a little correction with the machine. In addition, this can be a problem for colored hair, the color of which will also need to be updated several times a month.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that such a haircut can be easily done at home on your own. To do this, you need to arm yourself with scissors, a shaving machine and have basic haircuts in stock.
