This is a rather short haircut, which will not go to every girl. Before deciding on a similar style, as carefully as possible evaluate all the nuances of your appearance.

For many centuries, women wore exceptionally long haircuts, but in the early 20s of the last century, beautiful ladies began to try on the men's style, which was most widely used during the First World War. Then the women had to take on too many men's responsibilities.

Long ringlets and a romantic look prevented the ladies from recovering the economy, working in large enterprises and engaging in agricultural work. Those times demanded decisiveness and masculinity from women, which quickly affected their appearance.

After the publication of the book of the world famous novelist Victor Margherit, “The Bachelor”, a craze for short haircuts began. Young women all over the world tried to imitate the heroine they loved, which only increased the popularity of such a haircut as a garzon.

Garcon haircut performed graduation method. This technology involves laying on top of each other strands of different lengths in a given order.At the same time, an additional volume is obtained at the top, and there are almost no strands at the bottom. A characteristic feature of the haircut is also considered headband and temples, due to this, the hair in these areas adjoins the head quite tightly, framing and emphasizing the contour.

Modern garcon is a good solution for women who want to completely change their image and form a new style, especially if the hairstyle was not short before. Garson haircut styling takes very little time, it is very simple and requires a minimum set of tools: hair dryer, comb and styling mousses.

In most cases Garcon is recommended for:

• young girls of thin physique;
• women with oval and triangular faces;
• short ladies, leading an active lifestyle.

But for the fairer sex with magnificent forms or with high growth, such a haircut is not recommended: a short hair makes the features visually disproportionate.

Garzon is sheared according to a scheme that must be performed strictly step by step.

• To begin with, you should wash and dry your hair well, they must be clean and dry.
• The whole pile is divided into 4 parts: the occipital region, temples and parietal region.
• The strands that will be located outside the working area are fixed with clamps so that they do not interfere with the necessary manipulations.
• The head is first processed, then the curls are divided into two sections with a straight parting and the control strand is cut 1 cm long. It is on the strand that the entire back of the head is cut, then bent 90 degrees. Thus, the necessary volume is created in the upper part of the nape, and a haircut is made at an angle of 45 degrees.
• In parallel, the hairline is also pulled 90 degrees and cut. Thus, the required length is achieved, and then all work is performed using external calibration.
• At the next stage, the crown area is treated, while the last strand taken in the temple area is used as a control.
• At the final stage, bangs are cut. They cover strands of the required length, if necessary, they cut it, take curls on the top of the head, back of the head and around the temples.
• All that remains is drying, styling styling, and the hairstyle is ready.

Garcon is often confused with other ultra-short haircuts: a page, as well as gavrosh and pixies. At first glance, they are similar, but experienced craftsmen will say that they are very different (in different lengths and shapes). Garcon is peculiar rounded smooth lines and pronounced contoursdue to which the styling completely repeats the shape of the head, while gavrosh and pixies do not have a pronounced contour - they are created using significant milling.

Garson, like any other haircut, has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages include:

• ease of styling - the hair can be styled in just a few minutes, while all the manipulations will require the simplest set of styling tools;
• versatility - the hairstyle looks good on women of any age, moreover, for women over 60 years old, Garson is a fairly effective method to lose a couple of years;
• a variety of styling options - depending on your mood and personal wishes, you can make the most unusual “bows”: from a neat, smoothly laid fatal beauty to a jerky and disheveled rebel.

However, there were some cons.

• Such a haircut needs frequent adjustment. Growing, the form is lost, as a result of which the hairstyle becomes unattractive, losing its personality.
• Hairstyle is directly contraindicated for women with such flaws in appearance, such as large facial features, too short neck and lop-eared.
• The haircut technique is rather complicated, therefore, it can only be trusted by a professional of the highest class.

Modern modifications of the garcon include many of the most diverse styles.

In the classic version, the garzon has a slight elongation at the crown, while the back of the head and the temples are milled, so the strands are quite soft on the head. As a result, the image of a woman is obtained elegant but a little austere it contains bold notes and some rebellion.

Not every girl can decide on a radical shortening of her hair, while at the same time, far from every young lady can afford to do daily long styling in a frantic pace of life. In this case, you can opt for an extended version of the garzon, when the hair reaches the middle of the neck, and the ears are tightly covered. Strands fit the head and completely repeat its shape.

This hairstyle looks perfect both in front and behind. A universal option is the average length, when elongated strands remain on the temples and on the crown. In this case, the face does not open very well. These haircuts look best on ladies with open cheekbones and rounded cheeks.

Too busy business women fully prefer short hairstyles: they do not require a lot of laying time. In order to get an attractive head of hair, just rinse and dry the strands. If you intend to make a garzon on curly hair, then it can be supplemented with light tinting.

Ultra-short haircuts are suitable for slim women with perfect facial features. For the full, this option is not suitable - they better stay on other styles. Garzon has no age restrictions, however, such hairstyles are most in demand among women who have crossed the forty-year mark.

Separately, it is worthwhile to dwell on the design of the bangs, because depending on its shape, length and styling, you can significantly change the whole image. In addition, properly selected bangs can correct many appearance defects.

The most popular options are:

• asymmetric - such a fringe looks good on any type of hair, it suits bold and decisive women;
• laid on one side is a very interesting and sexy version, it harmoniously looks on both elongated and short garzon;
• oblique - this style is better for women with round and square faces, because it visually stretches the face and balances its heavy features;

• the straight line is a classic of the genre, embodying elegance and impeccable style, such bangs are best combined with the classic garrison;
• short - the option is optimal for miniature thin girls, goes well with a short garrison, allows you to emphasize the eyes and highlight the line of the cheekbones;
• elongated - this modification disguises a too high forehead, reaches the bridge of the nose, and at the same time looks harmonious with a garzon of any kind.

Before cutting the garzon, you need to evaluate the features of your hair. Straight hair go very much to such a haircut in a strict way, while curly ones look very fashionable, playful and flirty (just remember Audrey Tautou). At wavy hair do not give preference to ultra-short haircut modifications, but elongated ones will be very appropriate.However, keep in mind that if you have violent curls, then Garcon will not work for you. In this case, your head will more likely resemble a dandelion than a spectacular haircut.

For thin, weakened and oily strands, the garcon is an ideal solution, since such a hairstyle adds a significant amount in the occipital region. At thick and hard hair It is worth staying on a classic style or slightly elongated. If you cut the ultra-short, then the hair will simply stick out in different directions.

Garzon looks great on women with narrow and angular faces, because in this case their natural pattern is displayed in the most favorable light. But to the owners square faces it is better to refrain from garcon, although if you really want to make just such a style, you can always experiment with bangs. As a rule, oblique and asymmetric options can mask minor appearance flaws.

Women should be wary of Garzon with round faces, such haircuts can be advised on such haircut options that create the maximum volume at the crown in combination with a bangs laid to one side. Girls with oval faces luckier than the rest. Almost any haircut is suitable for them, and the garcon was no exception. It harmoniously looks on faces of this type. Also, the hairstyle looks very good on girls with high cheekbones and graceful neck lines.

Most often, the following styling methods are used:

• negligence - in this case, foam is lightly applied to the hair, ruffled by the fingers and eavesdropped;
