• Floating contour - smooth flowing of the chin into the neck by nature, as well as changes in the face shape due to the aging process that start, allow asymmetry only with long hair, on the shortened all these imperfections, on the contrary, attract unnecessary attention and worsen the perception of the woman’s overall appearance.
• Long nose, massive jaw and long face are considered a contraindication for ultra-short hairstyles - in this such strands should be at least 2 centimeters longer than the chin line.

This season, the following are among the most stylish asymmetries for short hair.

This is one of the most popular haircut modifications, which can be done in several ways. Suppose hair can remain longer from one side or strands are cut with layering on top of each other. Similar hairstyles look spectacular on the hair of absolutely any structure - both on straight and curly.

The first haircut was introduced back in the 60s. the past century, but today it is again at the pinnacle of popularity, and in a rather extravagant and unusual interpretation. Today, in TOP, hair styling on the sides and in the nape of the neck in different lengths or irregular geometry for the entire head. Bright accents in such a hairstyle are achieved due to shaved temples - these styles are good for the fair sex with high cheekbones and an elongated face.

This option is a strong association with Audrey Hepburn, which embodies all the best ideas about a mischievous, playful and incredibly sexy woman. In this version, the ears and neck remain fully open, but the strands on the top and back of the head become elongated, due to this even the thinnest curls seem more voluminous.

This is a stylish hairstyle, suggesting extension on one side. The style is very popular among many star fashionistas - at different times it was this hairstyle that was preferred by Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence. Another option for hairstyle design is no less in demand, when the strands near the face are made shorter than the strands on the back of the head - this style visually rejuvenates the woman, makes her more fresh and fit.

All kinds of asymmetric hairstyles are quite in demand in combination with a rather short hair length. Usually, in this case, an elongated asymmetric bang is formed - this option has not gone out of fashion for many years and is considered one of the simplest and most effective methods to change your appearance. Even if the haircut is complemented by shaving of the temples, the appearance remains feminine and quite harmonious.

Otherwise, this hairstyle is called a "tomboy", which matches the look that is created using such a hairstyle. A haircut is done on the base of the bean, while neatly trimmed strands of different lengths look like scattered around the head. The tomboy looks great on faces of absolutely any shape, suitable for both thick and liquid hair. The undoubted advantage of a haircut is the simplicity of styling - all that is needed is just to grease the strands with wax and ruffle with your hands, creating a slight mess, and then blow dry with a hairdryer.

Owners of curly hair can also make asymmetries on their hair, but short bangs are best avoided here. Of course, in this case it will not be possible to achieve clear graphic lines, but the unevenly distributed curls conceal their special charm.

Asymmetry, as a rule, is selected taking into account the shape of the face. For rounds, choose the options “front-back”, in this design, the front curls remain elongated, reaching the maximum line - for example, to the middle of the neck, and the back of the head is cut much shorter. Here, a variant of beveled bangs is also possible - in both cases, the face is visually extended and becomes oval.

For owners of a triangular shape, it is important to soften the sharp lines and level the existing imbalance. In this case, one should not be too fond of elongated strands around the face and cut a too thick, even bang, a shaved nape will also serve not the best service. Here, a soft, slightly noticeable asymmetry will be optimal - for example, a combed bang on the side and uneven graduation.

The oval type of face is considered ideal, in terms of proportions, because women with this type of appearance can decide on any beauty experiments. An ultra-short hairstyle, unevenly cut side strands, a shaved temple in combination with a shock of hair from the opposite side are allowed here.

It is very important for ladies with square faces to make such a haircut that would mask the excessive weight and massiveness of the chin, its angularity, so asymmetries with profiled curls and smoothed transitions should be preferred. Clear lines and straight cuts are best avoided. Keep in mind that it is better for such women to make haircuts that reach the chin so that curls frame the cheekbones - visually this will round off the lower zone. Ultrashort options are inappropriate here.

The choice of hairstyle is largely due to the characteristics of the hair. So, for thick curls, special attention should be paid to thinning, since heavy hair requires additional volume - only in this case the hairstyle becomes aesthetic and there is a feeling of lightness on the head.

For thin hair, asymmetric short strands can be a real salvation - these hairs look faded, almost do not give volume, while they are highly electrified and can hardly grow. Any asymmetric haircuts here should assume layering, it is better to give preference to a hat - in this case, the strands will look voluminous and lush.

This is a good option for those ladies who do not want to lose volume in their hair - they are better off combining asymmetric bangs with a bob or bean, however, in combination with a cascade, such options also look quite attractive. Keep in mind that for owners of wavy hair, such haircuts are not used, since they will require daily styling with the use of irons and other thermal straighteners.

Diagonal functional bangs are considered the best solution for heavy dense curls, completely devoid of any lightness and dynamism, in addition, it will suit thin rare strands. Such a haircut is usually combined with multi-tone coloring, due to which there is an illusion of pomp on the head. Laying this bangs does not require any special tools - it is easy to do with your hands.

It is best to cut an asymmetrical haircut in a beauty salon by a professional master, with insufficient experience it is very easy to cross the line that separates the fashion trend from untidiness. In the simplest version, creating an asymmetric hairstyle for short strands involves several basic steps.

1. A straight edging is formed on the lower part of the occipital region, and the occipital part is trimmed exactly along vertical partitions, preferably with graduation, so that the length of the strands in the upper part of the neck increases, and very sharply.
2. Next, a parting is formed that runs parallel to the direction of growth of curls - this allows you to select a thin strand and then gently surround it. Thus, the shortened bangs smoothly flows into the whiskey of the desired length.
3. The head is divided into 2 areas of different sizes, for this a parting is made as close as possible to that temple, which is planned to be shortened.
4. A haircut is done from the crown towards the forehead, the bangs can not be guided by the total length of the strands. When carrying out a haircut, it is necessary to do the edging of the temporal zone, by the way, you should not focus on it either.
5. At the last stage, they cut a large area, usually use the technique of "lock-and-roll".

A shortened asymmetric haircut has many advantages - it rejuvenates a woman, makes the look more spectacular and attractive. In addition, such haircuts do not need a long and time-consuming styling - it’s enough just to wash your hair and slightly ruffle your hair, then lay it with styling tools. But there is one subtlety: as soon as the hair grows back, even quite a bit, the hairstyle should be adjusted, otherwise the image will be hopelessly spoiled.

Having decided on the asymmetry in the hair, a woman assumes a number of obligations to care for her strands. Any styling without fail requires fixing means - mousse, foam or wax. Often use brashing or, if graduated asymmetry is framed on the head, an iron.
