Chelsea haircut: what is it and who is it for?

The modern rhythm of life has changed everything. Above all, focusing on the main goals in life. Therefore, the simpler the hairstyle and clothes, the better. One of the women's haircuts stands out among others. Being initially purely masculine, Chelsea found fans among the fairer sex and migrated from informal communities to the masses.

The Chelsea women's haircut appeared several decades ago. There are two versions of her appearance.

• Her “parents” are gardeners from England. In the 60s of the XX century they came up with a new way of pruning trees. In the spring, they cut off the upper part of the crown of trees, leaving the shoots untouched. Hairdressers liked their idea: they shaved off the hair on their heads without touching the back of their heads and temples.
• The creators are representatives of a new youth subculture called skinheads. The working class promoted its ideology to the masses - they expressed contempt for the bourgeois class, went crazy for reggae and cut their hair. Skinhead girls did not lag behind men, but did not go bald. They left a small hedgehog on their heads and dyed long strands black.

Chelsea is a haircut almost like a boy. To give femininity, girls leave long strands of feathers on their heads. The lower curls on the back of the head should be the longest: to the neck or below the shoulders. They can be combed back, imitating short hair. Due to the quick and uncomplicated transformation from one image to another, hairstyles are pleasant for young ladies whose mood changes five times a day.

In the seventies of the XX century, when a hairstyle appeared, without hesitation, colored strands-feathers in black.Today they choose more vivid color solutions for them: they paint in one color, contrasting with natural, or in different. The shade is selected for long strands, and short, naturally light brown, chestnut, red or any other color is not touched. Otherwise, a haircut will make the girl look like a parrot. If you want brightness, paint the feathers in different colors.

Hair dyeing technician a lot. The most popular are highlighting and coloring. If the hair is dark, then the locks-feathers are painted in contrasting shades (red, white, pink, ashen). If they are light, then the best colors for the locks will be blue, brown, green or black.

Chelsea is a haircut for young energetic people. Having done it, they look extravagant and bolder, especially if they have the right facial features and expressive eyes.

• Face type: round (without bangs) or oval. Girls with other types of faces do not despair, but turn to the stylist for advice. If you cut the whiskey briefly, your facial features will soften.
• Hair color: any. Haircut goes to blondes, brunettes, brown-haired women.
• Hair structure: any. Not a hindrance if curls curl, but they do not choose this haircut with curls.

There are several varieties of chelsea haircuts. Young and brave girls cut their head hair for a short time, leaving short strands at their temples and sparse bangs. Older ladies make a 4–5 mm hedgehog at the crown, and strands of feathers of different lengths are evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the head. The hairdresser will offer them another option: hair 5 cm long at the crown smoothly turns into long thick curls. It is difficult to repeat the haircut at home.

A simple chelsea haircut is done at home, having called for help a friend who has minimal skills in hairdressing. You will need the following tools:

• sharp scissors;
• hair clipper;
• Cape on the shoulders.

Do a haircut like this:

• hair is washed or wetted with water from a spray bottle;

The main feature of the Chelsea haircut is that there are many styling methods: you can change every day or several times a day.

• Aggressive image. Short hair is shaped with a gel, forming a hedgehog from them, and long strands are twisted in one direction.
• Serious and concise image. The strands are smoothed with mousse or foam, without giving them the shape of a hedgehog, and the curls are twisted in different directions.
• Feminine image. Short hair is made into a “cap”, and long locks are laid along the entire length or only at the ends.

The Chelsea haircut is specific, but the outfits for it are selected different: either in youth or in a simple style. To emphasize its texture, wear clothes with an open neckline. On weekdays, they are dressed in American T-shirts, jeans-shirt dresses, leather jackets, polo shirts, capes and jackets. On holidays, they change: curls curl and put on dresses on thin straps or with bare shoulders.

With a short haircut, you can’t appear at work in a serious organization, where a strict dress code is applied and appearance is regulated. In addition, she looks awkward in combination with business suits and dresses. Before choosing a Chelsea haircut and running to the hairdresser, one wonders if it would be a reason for dismissal. If they work in a democratic company where they don’t follow the dress code, they do it without looking back. This is especially true for young ladies, for whom “Chelsea” is a matter of principle and a way of expressing the inner “I”.
