The most widely sought-after hairstyles among the fair half of humanity in the next season are haircuts for medium hair length, with the help of which a woman, having even the most ordinary external data, can feel like a queen. We are talking about trend haircuts, one of which is rightfully considered an extended bob with bangs. This stylish hairstyle has become popular in many respects thanks to world stars, who at some point in their life preferred this haircut option or have remained loyal to it until now. However, not only stars are increasingly asking their stylists to cut them this way, but many ordinary mortals around the world choose this haircut for themselves.
What is the peculiarity of an elongated bob with bangs? What are the variations of this hairstyle? What is the difference between elongated bob and other varieties of this haircut?
Features of the technique
Bob is not just a classic of hairdressing, but also a symbol of sexuality, femininity and impeccable taste. If you carefully study the history of the emergence of an elongated bean, it can be noted that the ideas of feminism, which began to gain strength at the beginning of the last century, played a significant role in popularizing this haircut. The new women's fashion required a fresh look based on the new role of women in society. Beautiful ladies began to declare their rights publicly, wished to be on equal terms with men. And, of course, this could not but leave a significant imprint on the appearance.
However, years went by, fashion changed.And already in the second half of the 20th century, the fair sex again wished to be feminine and to be able to emphasize their sexuality by any means. In this regard, a short elongated bob (long) would come in handy. He is able to show and emphasize the beauty of a beautiful female neck, can visually lengthen the face, as well as mask some defects in the appearance of a woman.
However, why does this haircut not lose its relevance for several decades? The answer is simple to genius. First of all, bob is relatively unpretentious in leaving, while it will help a woman to look spectacular in any situation. Second - this haircut is versatile. What does it mean?
Bob is suitable for ladies of any age category, physique, hair type and face shape. Only when choosing the type of elongated bean with bangs should you observe some nuances.
Perhaps, it seems to someone that the bean is no different from the famous quads. However, there are significant differences between these two hairstyles.
- A classic quack is made with bangs. And bob, on the contrary, allows for various variations.
- When creating a bean, the nape of the head is cut off, while with the caret there are clear geometric lines in all parts of the hairstyle. A similar bean making technique helps create volume, which is very suitable for thin hair.
- When laying the bean, a volume from the roots is created, which is not typical for the classic caret - here the excess volume can violate the whole concept of the image.
- Kare was originally conceived as a hairstyle for women, while bob was originally a kind of boyish haircut.
At first, classic bob was made without bangs - a “cap” haircut exactly copied the shape of the skull.
This option hairstyles did not suit everyone. The woman had to have a beautiful head shape and regular facial features. This variation was perfect for miniature ladies with an oval face.
However, time passed and more often hairdressers began to add bangs to this hairstyle, which, in turn, helped to mask some appearance defects. For example, elongated straight frontal strands help to “smooth” a wide and sloping forehead, while emphasizing the lower part of the face. Oblique bangs help to make the face more elongated and “soften” rough features a little. Torn frontal strands make the look more expressive and put emphasis on the cheekbones.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any haircut, bob has pros and cons. He ideally fits into a certain type of appearance much more than many other hairstyles. In addition, bob has some nuances of embodying the mood of a woman.
Among the positive qualities of this haircut, the following can be distinguished.
- Bob is a great solution for older ladies. Hairstyle visually makes a woman younger. Correctly choosing the shape of the haircut and qualitatively performing it, any woman can rejuvenate her image for about 5 years.
- Bob (especially his short variations) has a unique dynamics characteristic of him alone, which favorably distinguishes the hairstyle against the background of others.
- Modifications of an elongated bob-car with bangs well emphasize the expressiveness of a woman's facial features. If you add spectacular makeup here, the woman will become truly amazing.

In addition to the undoubted advantages, an elongated bean has several undeniable disadvantages:

- if you are not responsible enough for the choice of a haircut shape or you have come across an insufficiently competent master, then the growth of strands will need to wait a long time;
- naughty and curly curls are difficult to style and can create the effect of "dandelion".

How to choose?
When choosing an extended bean, it is very important to choose a hairstyle option that matches the shape of the face and structure of the woman’s hair.
By type and length of hair
If you gravitate to a short bob haircut, then you have every chance to look fresh and creative. In addition, this haircut will rejuvenate you and refresh your image as a whole. This haircut for medium hair is now very popular, because it not only allows you to experiment with styling, but also offers a great many possibilities for dyeing hair, and also allows you to create fashionable and simple hairstyles for both daily wear and for a special occasion.
When girls choose the option for long hair, such a solution involves lengthening in the frontal zone and substantially short locks in the back of the head. This haircut will allow you not only to experiment with styling, but also to try coloring techniques that are fashionable this season, such as shatush, ombre, sombre, etc. Here you can make curls perfectly straight or, on the contrary, curl them, giving the image a playfulness.
By face type
From the point of view of the hairdressing approach, girls with an oval face were a little more fortunate than others, since they have more choices regarding the shape and length of haircuts. However, the oval itself is also not the same for different representatives of the fair sex, for example, it can be slightly more close to a circle or square. A similar feature plays a decisive role in choosing the shape of the bangs.
In folk art, a persistent stereotype has developed that women with a round face are the most Russian type attractive to real men. However, such ladies still need to really assess their shortcomings and be able to correctly hide them, emphasizing the undoubted advantages.
In this case, an extended bean is ideal. Elongated frontal strands will help to “smooth out” full cheeks or wide cheekbones.
Here, the volume on the occipital part of the head will look very harmonious, while if the pomp in this area is excessive, then the image will be corrupted, as the girl’s head will seem too big.
A characteristic feature of the square face is expressive cheekbones and a relatively massive lower part. Here, the hairstyle should give rude features of softness and prettiness. In this case, the best option would be an elongated bob with bangs to the side.
How to stack?
One of the main advantages of a bob haircut is that a properly made styling can change your look at least every day. Any woman who is not indifferent to her appearance probably wants to try one of the “stellar” styling at least once in her life or she knows how to create something on her head that suits her.
With an extended bean, you can experiment indefinitely:
Classic version
It is usually preferred by active women who do not have the opportunity to spend a lot of time on styling. Clean locks are dried and thoroughly combed. A bang is made out in a standard way, parting at your discretion.Curls most often remain behind the ears, revealing the face.
Flat styling
You can completely straighten your curls with an iron. This will create a strict and elegant look. This technique is suitable for a special occasion, as well as for daily wear. There is an optimal way to straighten hair without losing its volume. To do this, you need to dry your hair “upside down”, previously treating them with foam or mousse.
Wet effect
Some people think that this way of laying helps to prolong the feeling of sea vacation. To do this, wash your hair with a special tool (sealing shampoo) and apply conditioner. After that, mousse is applied to wet curls to create volume. And the final detail - on the hands we drip oil and put on the locks.
"Marilyn Monroe"
This is a very effective image of an elongated bean. Here, locks are formed from the root. To give an expressive volume, the strands are laid out in the desired order. To fix the styling, the hairstyle should be varnished.
Retro
Last season, this style was very popular with celebrities, periodically appearing on red carpet. This type of styling can give even the simplest girl the charm and grandeur of a real Hollywood star.
It is very simple to create such an image - vintage waves appear with the help of forceps. Without combing them, the hairstyle should be varnished.
Natural splendor
Universal styling appropriate for any occasion. The curls are pre-processed with mousse, after which they are divided into equal small strands and wound on a curling iron with a small diameter or on curlers. Next, manually lay the curls in the desired position.
Art mess
This is one of the simplest and most relevant styling of an elongated bean. Drying the locks with hot air, you need to change direction - this is necessary so that the curls are a little disheveled. After that, we envelop the dry strands with gel, forming the desired shape and the necessary degree of volume.
You can also perform a similar styling in another way: we process the wet strands with mousse or gel and dry with hot air using a diffuser.
Beautiful examples

This widespread fame and demand also appeared thanks to such stellar names as Riana, Cara Delevingne, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston.
