Graduated haircuts for medium hair: types and selection rules

The appearance of a real lady consists of three things: exquisite makeup, stylish shoes and a hairstyle. Today in trend - graduated haircuts for medium-length hair. Women's “layered” hairstyles visually give the desired volume of hair to the hair and look stunning on blondes, brunettes and red “beasts”.

The calibration technique is as follows: the master makes a stepwise cut of the curls at an angle. Thus, the effect of torn strands is obtained. The transition can be smooth or sharp. Based on the thinning of the strands, haircuts are created. Graduation looks especially stylish on medium-length hair. Masters divide the graduation technique into two types: external and internal. The methods of haircut execution are similar, but the first implies that the external strands will be shorter than the internal ones and vice versa. In addition, graduation is performed at different levels of the strands.

The most common option is the easy thinning of the ends of the strands. “Layering” on the crown is necessary for fine hair. Graduation "from the ears" along the entire length - the choice of ladies with long, straight hair.

• Suitable for hair of different structures. This haircut allows you to make thick hair more light and airy.
• Differs in simplicity of laying. To create a beautiful hairstyle on graduated strands, it is enough to just apply a small amount of gel or wax on the hair and give it the desired shape.
• Universal. Haircut "steps" is relevant for young girls and mature ladies. Graduation visually “youths” a female face.
• Looks great on straight and wavy hair.
• Means various staining techniques. Particularly effectively torn strands are combined with highlighted or colored curls.
• Helps solve split ends.
• It does not require constant correction (once every 2-3 months is enough).
• Perfectly combined with different variants of the bangs (with asymmetry, as well as straight, oblique, elongated).

Thus, torn strands will look even thinner. Especially ridiculous graduation looks on the "liquid" long curls. Also, a layered haircut should not be created on too curly hair. Otherwise, you run the risk of becoming like a poodle.

In addition to all these advantages, a graded haircut is able to perfectly hide imperfect facial proportions. In order to choose the right "torn" hairstyle, pay attention to the following recommendations.

• Chubby young ladies like a graduated hairstyle with a long oblique bangs.
• To the owners oval the shape of the face fits a layered haircut with or without any bangs. Graduated strands advantageously frame the face and help emphasize expressive eyes and lips.
• Too massive cheekbones helps to “brighten up” the elongated thick bang.
• Women with a high forehead a graduated hairstyle with a fringe “from the side” will do.

As we already said, haircuts with graduation are quite universal. But tattered curls look especially impressive on medium-length hair. The master, as a rule, begins to cut from the crown and processes the strands along the entire length. Thus, a magnificent and elegant hairstyle without split ends is obtained.

Options for haircuts on medium hair are striking in their variety. These include the following.

Unlike the classical one, a graduated square does not have a smooth cut. This haircut is inherent in the lines of "steps". Strands visually “overlap” each other. Thus, it turns out that the upper curls are shorter than the lower ones.

An elongated bean with graduation implies a voluminous crown and torn strands. Milled front curls perfectly frame the face. “Layered” bean fits any face shape and looks stunning with or without bangs.

Graduation technique looks perfect on cascading haircuts. With the help of thinning, the hair lies in “layers” and looks airy and voluminous. This cascade is ideal for straight and wavy hair.

The torn cascade on dark hair looks simply gorgeous.

Such a haircut "layers" is universal for ladies of any age. Torn strands perfectly frame the oval of the face and correct imperfect proportions and problem areas of the skin.

All listed haircut options include to the grunge style. Its distinguishing features are sloppy and natural. Graduation haircuts just help to achieve the proper effect.

Make a stylish hairstyle with graded strands is not difficult. The shape of the hairstyle allows you to keep the volume without additional styling tools. But still, for better fixation, mousse or varnish should always be available.

For everyday styling you will need:

• round comb;
• hair dryer with a nozzle for adding volume;
• clamps;
• styling products (mousse and varnish);
• straightening iron.

Carefully comb clean hair and apply a small amount of foam. With the help of a hairdryer and a round comb we give a magnificent volume to the strands (we start from the crown). The ends of the curls are twisted inward. Straighten the strands of the face and fix the styling with varnish.

For festive occasions on torn strands, you can create a "wet effect".To do this, apply a sufficient amount of gel or wax to clean hair. Let the hair dry a little and create “wet curls” with your hands. In the final stage, the laying is fixed with varnish.

Among other things, on torn strands, you can create beautiful "waves" with the help of a curling iron or wind curls on curlers. To create an evening styling, take:

• round comb with natural bristles;
• curlers (medium size);
• styling products (mousse and varnish).

My hair and let it dry a little. We comb the hair and wind the strands (all over the head) on the curlers. We hold for about half an hour and carefully remove the curling accessories from the hair. Lightly comb the "waves" and cover the hair with varnish.

Another festive styling for medium hair with graduation will be sloppy bunch with strands. So, let's get started.

We collect clean hair in a ponytail and fix it with silicone rubber. Twist the hair from the tail into a tourniquet and “wrap” around the elastic. We fix the beam with hairpins and with the help of a thin comb tip we pull thin strands (near the face) on the right and left sides. Fix the styling with varnish.

It is desirable to dry hair against growth, starting from the side curls and ending with the front strands. Also, do not abuse styling products (gel, mousse and wax). They significantly weigh down the hair, and the "torn effect" is simply lost.
