Long Hairstyles

First of all, let's define a haircut. The word itself is interpreted in French as a square (carré) - with a classic square cut, the cut is performed exactly in one line. The optimal length is considered, which slightly does not reach the shoulder line.

The Egyptians, led by their legendary Queen Cleopatra, are considered to be the discoverers of the square. In those days, almost everyone wore such a haircut, regardless of gender, class and income. The pharaohs even ordered wigs with this type of haircut - it was the best complement to the attributes of power that the elite of the time decorated themselves with.

The square came to Europe much later. At first, men took a fancy to him, but for a very long time women did not allow society to wear short haircuts. However, in the XX century, the century of emancipation equalized the rights of both sexes, and women gradually began to conquer not only wardrobe items from men, but also short haircuts.

Today, this haircut is very popular all over the world. It can be performed on absolutely any hair - thick or thin, curly or straight, light or dark. A haircut will decorate the head not only of a young girl, but also suit her mother, and even grandmother. Fashion designers from different countries vying to offer a variety of ways to style a square.

There are several ways to cut a square.

• On long hairwhen the length should be at shoulder level or slightly lower. In this case, the lower slice has a graphic line. Initially, the styling did not imply the presence of a bang, but over time the hairstyle underwent some changes and was decorated with some additions.She looks most advantageous on smooth hair with a healthy shine. Suitable for all face types.

• The average length. Haircut ends at a height above the shoulders - approximately at the level of the chin. Styling on straight hair looks very elegant and aristocratic. In addition, such a length leaves room for experimentation.

• Extension of hair level in front, that is, the front strands leave slightly more than on the back of the head. In this case, the length can increase smoothly or stepwise. Long strands that frame the oval of the face visually stretch it, so this variant of the square is best for chubby young ladies. But those who can not boast a long neck, on the contrary, should refrain from this option.

• Asymmetric square - when the strands near the face have different lengths. As in the previous case, the length can vary smoothly or abruptly. Sometimes the difference can be radical - up to a shaved temple. Due to such a haircut, the appearance changes dramatically, so this option is for those who are not afraid to be in the spotlight.

• Curly hair. Caret looks great not only on straight hair, but also on wavy curls. However, the curls should be soft and flow freely. Such a hairstyle gives the image lightness and romance, which is typical primarily for blondes and light-eyed brown-haired women. For small curls it is better to choose a different haircut.

Despite the fact that an elongated square has not gone out of fashion for many years, some women complain that this haircut is too boring and mundane, that it is boring to wear the same silhouette every day, and you don’t look like a stylist every day . Today's beauty industry offers a huge variety of tools in order to quickly turn a rack with extension into a festive option. And you can do this at home with your own hands, without resorting to the help of a master.

Most easy styling option long caret is to apply a styler to wet and towel-wrung hair and dry it with a hairdryer. A round comb can give the hair a basal volume, and with an iron with a direct nozzle, create perfectly even curls. The ends of the hair can be twisted inside - then you get a classic styling for the office dress code or, on the contrary, lift them up - and a simple bob haircut turns into a perky youth styling.

If you have a festive event, and there is no time and (or) money to go to the salon, do not despair. There are many ways to style your hair quickly and beautifully. To put long hair with a bob haircut in a festive hairstyle at home, you can experiment with the front strands, stretching them with an iron or curling with a curling ironcreating beautiful romantic waves. And also you can simply collect them in a tail or a tourniquet and fix them with hairpins or hairpins, and release several careless strands near the face.

It is easy to care for a medium-length haircut, and if you wish, you can radically change the image without changing the length itself. So, changing the nozzle in the hair straightener from straight to corrugated, you can give your hair a completely new look. If you want additional volume, make a light pile at the roots of the hair with a comb with a hairpin.

For asymmetric haircuts, you can use curlers of various sizescreating light moving curls. The technology for laying a short square is also not very complicated.To quickly lay short strands for a special occasion, apply modeling wax on the tips, comb and shape them into strands with your fingers and blow dry. If there is a bang, it can also be slightly lifted with a hairdryer and a light pile.

For clarity, consider a few simple technologies for performing the laying of a square, which can be done with your own hands at home.

• Harness laying. Divide the hair into several strands, each of which is twisted, wrapped in glomeruli and fixed with small crab hair clips. This naughty hairstyle is suitable for school, for the beach, for a youth party.

• Volumetric high beam. This is perhaps the easiest and fastest way to lay a medium-sized square. Hair is collected in a ponytail, twisted into a bundle and fixed with the tips up.

• "Waterfall". To perform this simple but very effective styling, you will need a comb brush, hair clips or a thin invisible rubber band and a rare comb to separate the strands. Take a small strand of hair near the face and begin to weave an ordinary braid, gradually adding strands from above.

In this case, after weaving, the upper strand is left below, freely hanging, we add a new strand from above. Thus weave the whole braid, moving from one side of the head to the other. When all the strands are woven, the braid can be continued with an ordinary spikelet, or leave the tail free and fix it with an elastic or a hairpin.

• Curls collected back. This hairstyle in the Greek style is absolutely suitable for any occasion - whether it be a friendly party, an official reception or a romantic date. Begin laying with a strand near the forehead. Add a strand to it near the temple and twist them together.

From the bottom we add one strand, alternately interlacing them with each other, not forgetting to fix each interlacing with hairpins or hairpins with invisibility. The result should be a horseshoe shaped roller. You can decorate the resulting hairstyle with artificial flowers, a thin rim or satin ribbon.

• To understand whether the haircut is done correctly it is necessary to carefully comb the hair, and connect the two control strands from each other from each other. The point of contact of the strands will be located at the level of the seventh cervical vertebra. Focusing on the control strand, we create the length of the entire occipital zone: the lower, then the upper, then go to the temples. To get lengthening near the face, the first strand of hair is trimmed concave inward. Further edging is performed in a circle, equal to this strand.

• Some women prefer to cut their bangs on their own. To give the bangs the correct shape, it is necessary to separate the strands from the parietal zone and temples. To make the bangs more dense, form a triangle from the top of the head to the frontal zone. To increase the volume of hair, the bangs are trimmed in an upright position.

• To do a haircut of a square at home to someone, you do not need to be an extra class master for this. The technology of this haircut is simple. Haircut should be done on freshly washed and towel-dried hair. Before work, apply balm along the entire length of the hair and comb it thoroughly.

The first and most important rule on which compliance the result depends - correctly divide the strands into zones. The hair should be gathered in a bun so that it covers the ears, and tied with an elastic band about the middle of the length of the neck.To accurately cut the tail, the cut needs to be done just below the level of the gum. Moreover slices should be done in layerswithout trying to cut the entire length with one stroke of the scissors. When the required length is reached, the gum is removed and the cut level is leveled.

• If you decide on a home haircut, remember that most often you can not do just one haircut method. Often apply several different technologies. For example, if it is necessary to add volume in the region of the occipital part of the head, not all hair can be cut, but only at the crown. They are collected in a beam around the circumference and perform graduation with pulling vertically.

The cut should be done at a distance of about 7-10 cm from the head. If you haven’t yet gotten your hand on the haircuts, and the cut is not perfect, you can correct the situation by milling. Scissors are set horizontally along the hairline and make small cuts of 2-3 mm. This should be done along the entire cut line.
