All girls, without exception, want to look beautiful in everyday life, and in solemn occasions, not to mention dates. This applies not only to the selection of casual clothes and makeup, but also to hairstyles. Recently, a bob haircut without bangs, which can be done on both medium and short hair, regardless of their density, has gained immense popularity.
Types and features of haircuts for short hair
Bob haircuts won the hearts of not only ordinary girls, but also many celebrities. They make their ordinary fans and themselves look like famous divas, helping to demonstrate an elegant external image, to form a perfect hairstyle, without spending a lot of time and effort.
Depending on the length of the hair, you can choose an image that is ideal for a fashionista. Do not rely only on your taste, if the girl wants to try to cut her hair for the first time, then it’s better to turn to a stylist for help, who will help you choose the look of a “bean” so that it fits perfectly into the shape of the face. There are several types of haircuts.
The asymmetric option is more often chosen by girls who are ready for experiments. Different asymmetry variations are possible: on the one hand, the long strand is shortened, and on the other, the maximum length remains or a different level transition is created both in front and behind.
The advantage of an asymmetric “bean” is that it looks good on thin hair and thick hair. But there is a small drawback: if the hair tends to grow back quickly, then you will have to visit the hairdresser a little more often, since the overgrown ends will look unkempt.
Before you go to the salon to implement the idea, it’s worth figuring out who the asymmetric “bean” is for. We will deal with this.
- The girls endowed by nature an elongated oval of the face, will be more impressed with a haircut with side strands. The length of this option is minimal - the curls reach the edge of the ears or go down to the chin. The latter option makes the face visually a little wider. Those who want to gradually shorten the length are left with the upper strands - they will give the face proportionality.
- To representatives square face models with smooth lines are most suitable. In this case, it is advisable to cut the strands to the base of the cheekbones or slightly lower. The haircut should be such that on the back of the head, the hair appears to be voluminous to the maximum.
- Chubby You can try an asymmetric elongated “bean” that can visually stretch your face. The emphasis should be placed on the back of the head, removing the splendor of the side curls to the maximum.
- Those who possess regular oval features, you can safely experiment with any kind of asymmetric "bean".
The owners of a round face or square will fall in love with a graduated “bean” - it will ideally hide a low forehead and soften a heavy chin. The technique is very similar to the "cascade", and therefore will look good on wavy hair of various densities. Another positive point is styling - to bring your hair in order in the morning, you only need to apply a little foam or mousse, as well as give volume and shape with your hands.
A graduated “bean” has several advantages over other types of haircuts.
- Having made such a “bean” for short hair, the haircut will gain lightness and weightlessness.
- With the help of graduation, the split ends are ideally hidden, and thin hair acquires a beautiful and magnificent volume.
- Short haircut models make it easier for girls to style in the morning. It will be enough to smoothly and gently comb the hair - this option will immediately give the image of rigor. And if you use foam or mousse and ruffle your hair a little, the result is a slight negligence, which will add teenage arrogance to a woman of any age.
“Bob” on the “leg” is suitable for owners of short stature and heavy lower part of the face. But for those who have a long neck and an oval face, it is not recommended to cut their hair like that. The haircut acquired this name because of the execution technique. The “leg” of the mushroom resembles a short-cut head, and the layering in front is a hat.
This haircut can be done in various variations.
- Corner "bean" "on the leg" It will look perfect on light and dark hair. A bewitching image will create an elegantly designed part of the nape and volume on the crown. This haircut is preferred by energetic girls who do not like to spend a lot of time styling in the morning.
- Layered haircut option will give luxurious volume at the back due to layering. Side locks fill the image with elegance, and the trapezoid shape on the back will make the neck more sophisticated.
- Geometric bean the thinnest thinning and ideally cut nape are characteristic. Elongated side strands will distract attention from sunken cheekbones and puffy cheeks.
- "Bob" "on the leg" in the French style Looks perfect on thin hair. Due to the pronounced neck line, the hairstyle will add extravagance and effectively emphasize the swan neck. The technique consists in a thin-layer haircut, when each of the tiers is lengthened by a subsequent millimeter. Sharp lines and asymmetric locks will help to focus on the eyes.
Classic straight bob
For several years, the classic direct "bob" has not gone out of fashion. The pioneer of this haircut was the Frenchman Antoine de Paris, who, inspired by the hairstyle of Joan of Arc, decided to resurrect a long-forgotten technique. In 1909, this was a very bold act, given that then hairstyles for long hair were considered fashionable.The bob haircut without bangs was to the taste of Coco Chanel, which for many generations of Parisians and other fashionistas was considered an icon of style, trying to imitate her in everything.
The classic differs from other types of "bean" in the cut strands of the nape, which are elongated in front, it requires clear cuts and even lines. This haircut can be done on any type of hair: straight, curly, thick and thin. The back section of hair is an arc curved upwards.
“Bob” will give girls openness and spontaneity, and older women - solidity and sophistication.
Stylists bring their ideas into the haircut: they can apply thinning, add graduation or slicing. However, there is a generally accepted technique for the performance of the classic “bean,” which many adhere to.
- Start the haircut should be slightly wetting the hair and dividing them into four equal parts.
- They begin to cut from the lower part of the nape, separating the strands with thin horizontal partings.
- Hair must be cut along a line running parallel to hair growth.
- Each strand is cut in a straight line up to the parting, which is at ear level. After that, a clear border along the upper and lower boundaries should be indicated.
- The top of the head should continue to cut “curl to curl”, and the edging of the top line of the “cap” will serve as a guideline.
- In the same way, the hair is cut on the sides.
- At the end of the haircut, the trim around the entire head is cut, the angles, if any, are aligned.
During work, the stylist uses only two tools: a comb and professional scissors. The haircut is easy to perform and will require a minimum of experience from the master.
Bob haircut for medium hair
A properly made haircut for medium hair is ideal for girls with thin hair. Such a hairstyle will give the desired volume to the hair, and mistresses of thick hair will help make them light and more structural.
Many still believe that this type of haircut looks good only with bangs. Recent fashion trends have proven the opposite: an asymmetric or torn version is gaining unprecedented popularity.
According to the technique of execution, a long “bean” does not differ much from the average. It also provides elongated strands in the front and short ones in the back. Both options are suitable for those who like to change the image, try different variations of styling. You can straighten hair, create beautiful curls or braid it in the original bun on the side.
All stylists agree that the “bob” on elongated and medium hair will look good if you use a complex technique of dyeing. This will add playfulness and audacity to the haircut you choose.
Do not think that a bob haircut for medium or short hair is suitable only for girls. Stylists from different countries have long dispelled this belief, proving that women who are 40 years old or older have great haircuts made using this technique. This option will make the representatives of the older generation much younger and give their appearance sophistication and charm.
