Bob-haircut was a kind of revolution in the world of hairdressing. After all, she appeared to replace hairstyles with long hair. Maybe that's why the former experiment took root and, one might say, even became a classic. Even now, when new items quickly gain momentum and fade out just as quickly, this haircut does not lose ground. And in the last couple of years it has become a hit at all.
Who is going to?
It is believed that a bob-haircut is universal and goes for absolutely everyone. This is not entirely true, since it can vary in length, with or without bangs. And each of these details can both decorate and hide virtues.
- If you are the owner of a slender neck - it must be opened, and not only in front, but also in the back. A dense side strands will help to hide not quite standard ears.
- Ladies with an oval face will suit any option. A square-shaped face can be extended due to the length just below the chin. The same goes for chubby girls. Straight side strands will help hide your cheeks.
- Direct parting is only for owners of ideal face proportions. Otherwise, it is better to shift it and make it broken. At the same time, you can slightly obscure the side of the face that you think is less advantageous.
- Volume on the back of the head will reduce large facial features. And smooth, even strands can stretch them slightly.
- The original bangs, although distracting, will create shadows in the eye area, which will add several years. If you want to look young, choose lighter options.
The concept of whether a haircut is going or not is subjective. Confident people present the features of their appearance as a manifestation of individuality.
Varieties
The same type of hairstyle quickly bored.In addition, fashionistas strive to show their individuality - this is quite possible to do with a hairstyle. So, the classic brown bean appeared options - with bangs, shortened, elongated, with graduation, asymmetry. Therefore, you can choose what is closer to your taste. In these subspecies, you can see the borrowed features of other haircuts - such a peculiar synthesis gave its positive results. Some options in common people have different names, but they have one basis. Let's take a closer look at them.
Classic version
As a classic, it is customary to consider the option that appeared at the end of the first quarter of the last century. Its characteristic features are:
- symmetry - parting is direct and it is desirable that it is located in the center or closer to it;
- severity of forms - the lower section is quite dense around the entire circumference;
- lack of bangs or only strict options;
- length varies slightly - from the earlobe to the chin or slightly lower.
This haircut differs from the usual square in its shape. In an ordinary square, it has a rather square shape. And the peculiarity of our option is in semicircular outlines. This is achieved by rounding the back of the hair. Bob-car perfectly softens any facial features, smooths out angularities.
Such an option for a modern woman will seem boring. But for that time, even he was a real breakthrough. There were few masters who did such haircuts, and the lines to them were huge. But today, the haircut has a lot of fans. It is the classic performance that conservatives love for simplicity and conciseness. Make a strict hairstyle alive with dyeing.
By the way, it is believed that hair just above the shoulders is younger. Maybe that's why older women love classic bob. At the moment, it can be called a haircut “without age”, as this is the choice of girls and women of completely different ages.
Elongated
The desire to stand out led to the fact that the angle between the occipital and front strands began to increase. Such a haircut in front and behind looks like two different, combined into one. The hair length at the back remains almost unchanged, as in the classic version, but in front it can drop below the shoulders, to the collarbone. The cut line is still flat. An elongated bean has many positive qualities.
- This is an option for those who can hardly imagine their hair short, but do not want to lag behind fashion. A bean with an extension in the front can be a trial option on the way to a more cardinal haircut - because it is so easy to change it. And to grow hair from this level will be easier.
- Laying due to its length can be more complicated. This, of course, will take more time, but the result will please you.
- Due to the length, the possibilities for complex staining are expanded.
- Such a hairstyle will be more practical. The classic square has one serious drawback - the hair in the face is simply impossible to collect in the tail. In the elongated version, this problem is solved.
This hairstyle is suitable for women seeking diversity. This is what a modern dynamic lifestyle requires, where you need to change your image in an instant.
"On the leg"
Another version of the classic bob-haircut, in which the changes did not affect the front, but the occipital. Its essence lies in complex graduation at the back of the head. Thanks to this technique, volume is created, and the neck opens even more. As a result, we get an analogy with a volumetric “cap” on a thin base - “leg”. Initially, the difference between them was very sharp. Subsequently, stylists began to make a smoother (sometimes even semi-circular) cut. A kind of cascade can appear on the side. Only the front strands remain straight.
A slanted or torn bangs will help to complement the image. This option goes well with lengthening.
At present, it is difficult to determine the standard of this variant of the bean, since each master puts his own vision into it. In addition, a lot depends on the styling. A girl who chooses such an extravagant version of the hairstyle may look bold or cute. The desired effect can be achieved with the help of simple adjustments, styling tools, combs of the desired shape and hairdryer. In addition to variability, this subspecies has other advantages:
- the opportunity to profitably file any type of person;
- cascades, graduations and oblique sections look boring and will be noticeable in any situation;
- hair looks voluminous, even if its type and structure do not have it.
In order for the haircut “on the leg” to really suit you, the master must be a professional with a sense of taste and great experience.
A short
Short brown bean is the most practical, but at the same time feminine option. In it, the front and rear strands may practically not differ in length, or the difference between them may be small. A small cut at the back will give the hairstyle a more rounded, soft shape. The cut line in this embodiment may be thin, with sharp strands. This is a great option for women with straight hair, on which any styling does not hold well. To add variety, you need to work out the bangs - because it can be the same length with the side parts.
Super short bean has become incredibly popular right now. It can be seen on both women and men. Unisex haircut is good because we are suitable for everyone - regardless of age, gender and situation. Moreover, even the style of clothing is completely unimportant here. In combination with new accessories, the hairstyle will look all the same stylish.
The shorter the hair, the more noticeable are all changes on them, even the simplest ones like volume loss. Be prepared for frequent length adjustments - even an extra half centimeter will change a short square not for the better. Regrowth roots will also be more visible. In general, a short bob looks neat even without additional styling manipulations.
Asymmetric option
And since we have come to change the length not only at the back, be sure to pay attention to the asymmetric bean. Perhaps this is the most unusual option, the secret of which is simple - it lies in the combination of strands of different lengths. For example, if you are in doubt about the length, select two options and place one on the left and the second on the right. Of course, this explanation is somewhat exaggerated. The difference between the length of the front strands on each side of the head may be barely noticeable or more pronounced. At the same time, great importance is attached to the design of the slice at the back:
- it can be smooth and go obliquely;
- An alternative to a smooth cut is multistage.
There are frequent cases when the brown bean in its pure form is present only on one side, while on the other, we can see a cascade or a completely shaved temple. This haircut was also adopted in men's salons. Its main advantage lies in the complete transformation of the face. Looking at such a complex creation, any shortcomings will go unnoticed. Moreover, the shape of the face is completely unimportant with her. You just say your wishes to the stylist and get a completely unique option.
With a bang
Do not forget about the bangs, because its appearance makes the female haircut finished. To begin with, it should be said that a bob can be completely without it. That was the original version. Now it is believed that thick bangs without thinning are ideal for the classic version. It is better if it is straight, in more rare cases it is greeted by a beveled shape so that it can be tucked behind the ear.
For the “legged” option, you can use more informal types of bangs. Straight, slanting or curly bangs should be graduated, with the effect of layering. The lighter the bangs look, the better it will fit into the concept of hairstyle.
Asymmetry prefers all types of beveled bangs.And there are really many of them - the cut angle of such a fringe can vary from small to extreme. It can be wide or narrow. Often there are bangs on two sides or combined - straight to half, after which the bevel begins.
Styling methods
In order for the appearance to be fashionable and harmonious - all its details must be consistent. That is why the same haircut can be styled in different ways. Of course, it is better to turn to a trusted master who knows your preferences, has worked with hair more than once and knows all their features. But if necessary, styling can be done independently. For an elegant look you need a carefully designed hairstyle (what is called “hair to hair”). To achieve this effect, special styling products are required to give the hair smoothness and shine, and be sure to fix the result at the end. The classic option is considered to be bent inward tips.
Do not forget about the bangs, it also needs to be slightly tightened.
To create volumetric styling, no need to rush. Separate the entire mass of hair in layers, stab with clips. Starting from the bottom, each strand must be lifted with a comb and hairdryer. Pay particular attention to the tips. To create a playful mess, you can dry your hair randomly. And then disassemble by hand or with a rare comb. And then select individual locks on the side and in the face with the help of a modeling tool.
The bangs can be laid both to the face and from the face. Curly or wavy hair is not a contraindication for cutting a bob. Moreover, it is this laying option that you can choose for a special occasion. To make the waves look natural, they are formed through one: from the face, then to the face and again from the face. And for short hair, this beautiful styling is quite possible - in this case, waves can be formed with your hands.
Tips
A bob-hairstyle will be useful in several situations at once.
- If you need to hide a bad haircut or coloring.
- For healthy hair. If their condition is close to critical, professionals advise changing their hairstyle to a shorter one. So, nutrients will be distributed more rationally. Most often, the tips are damaged - they can also be removed. In addition, after the next haircut, the hair will grow faster.
- If your hair is naturally dense and does not hold volume. The shortened version will be easier, and the volume will appear.
- If you want to change the image, but there is no definite solution. Parting with length is not so easy. Especially if in doubt. You can choose the classic version of the brown bean. And if the result does not scare you, later choose a more challenging option.
- Often a hairstyle of this length is resorted to if required by professional activities or an active lifestyle. It is believed that a square does not require much attention and time.
If the last statement is exactly your case, take into account that the installation is done quite quickly. But hair care that cannot be removed in a bun or tail, requires more thorough. If the hair is dirty - it will be visible, and no styling will help. It is especially difficult to monitor the state of styling after she has been under a hat. To make it truly persistent, you need high-quality tools and experience.
