Asymmetric caret is by far one of the most popular haircuts among visitors to beauty salons of any age. All quads are able to emphasize the elegance and beauty of the cheekbones and neck, as well as hide small imperfections in appearance. Saucy, purposeful, romantic, tender, beautiful and beloved - this is what a man can say about a woman with a square.
Features of the technique
The history of the square begins from the time of Ancient Egypt and originates from the divine Cleopatra. This woman was idolized by kings and mere mortals. And in the Middle Ages, for such a haircut, a woman could be burned at the stake of the Inquisition, since the church of those times refused women to cut their hair in this way. For some time, the square was in fashion with men. And over the past century, at the height of feminism, this hairstyle has become a kind of standard of female self-sufficiency.
Kare - a haircut of medium length. The technique for performing this hairstyle was initially quite simple: the hair was cut a little lower than the ears, and the bangs also took shape evenly trimmed, but along the line of the eyebrows. This hairstyle was very easy to style and did not require special care.
Today, beauty salons offer quite a few models of caret, capable of successfully selecting the type of hair for a long time to decorate the owner of the hairstyle.
Varieties
Hairstyle with character - this definition was not accidental for this haircut. There are many varieties of caret, but they are all very individual and able to create a unique image.
Asymmetric caret is a variation of the usual variant, but asymmetry implies a difference of sides. Unlike symmetry, the hair on one side will be slightly longer than on the other. Due to this, the impression of a double haircut is created and several spectacular facial features of the owner are emphasized at once.
The construction of such a hairstyle begins with the back of the head, where the length of the hair remains minimal. As you move to the bangs, the length of the curls is constantly increasing. Often, stylists pretty mill front curls and temples to achieve the effect of a cascade.
The ratio of the length of hair on the back of the head and bangs is determined by the shape and facial features.
Elongated
A caret with extension is a traditional cascade of hair, but their length in this variety will vary. The length of the back strands of hair will end below the ears, located along the line of the chin, while the neck remains open, but the front curls can go down to the shoulders. In the case of asymmetry, one of the sides is formed this way, while the length of the back strands should not be too large. An open nape is able to create frankness, and hidden ears and a neck leave a certain riddle. This hairstyle can rightfully be called a masterpiece, because it has an aftertaste of mystery and tenderness.
Perhaps for this reason, many Hollywood actresses have chosen this particular type of asymmetric square.
One-way oblique
This version of the hairstyle is very similar to a traditional square with an extension. The difference between these two varieties is only that the bangs in the oblique version will have a pronounced asymmetry.
This haircut is performed in such a way that the side strands of hair smoothly and contrastly pass from the nape to the bangs. It is generally accepted that in this form of a square, the curls on the back of the head almost shave. Also, the stylist can perform pointing of the ends of the hair. Pointing is a method of cutting hair with a pointed shape of the tips. The length of the bangs in this type of haircut can look either symmetrical with respect to the front curls, or asymmetrically - the choice of one or another option usually depends on the professionalism of the stylist or hairdresser.
With and without bangs
In the traditional design, a square is usually done with a straight-cut bang, which should be located about 2 cm above the eyebrow. This approach gives a special charm to the cut of the eyes, and an open neck creates a certain relaxedness. In combination with the right make-up, this square will provide the Cleopatra effect, while not a single male look will remain indifferent.
It is not customary to wear the traditional look of a square without a bang, since its absence is recommended in variants of an elongated square, when the front strands smoothly pass into the side ones. It is also possible to create an asymmetric caret in which the first strand of hair is milled or dyed in a variety of colors. Due to this, an asymmetry effect is created.
The construction of such a haircut is carried out in the same way as when creating an elongated version.
On the leg
For some ladies, this type of haircut is a symbol of looseness and freedom of nature. This type of square has several varieties. The construction of a haircut begins in the same way as a square in a traditional design.
A haircut is done on wet hair, but it is worth noting that water should not drain from the ends of the hair. The entire area of the haircut is divided into four segments, horizontal and vertical stripes are separated from the middle of the head. Begin a haircut from the back of the head, timely wetting the hair in the process of working with a spray.
The haircut is based on the hair of the vertical stripes of the bangs and the back of the head had approximately the same level, while the vertical side curls line toward the ends of the hair in descending order, thus forming the effect of a leg. This type of square is recognized as the most frank, because it immediately opens both the neck and the nape of the owner of the hairstyle.For this reason, not all women allow themselves such a luxurious option.
Also, this type of square is universal - it is perfect for work, and for home pastime, and for sports. And if you add a little varnish to this hairstyle and create a look of disheveledness, then it will be very easy to create the image of a rebel and a hooligan.
Extravagance and audacity, astringency and sex appeal - all these terms are relevant in the description of this type of caret.
Graduated
This is a kind of traditional square and cascading haircuts. The main advantage of a graduated caret is the ability to control the length of curls, which allows stylists to work more freely with the contours of the face and its shape. The haircut is constructed in such a way that the effect of the cloves is created. This type of hairstyle is very versatile, as it fits most types of hair and facial contours.
