Hair cut "caret" remains relevant among women of all ages for quite a long time. Among its varieties, the option with medium hair length is especially in demand. This is due to the presence of a mass of styling options, as well as versatility in the light of the absence of any restrictions in terms of choosing the color of curls and their structure.
Features
The haircut is quite firmly rooted in the list of hairstyles for women since the beginning of the last century. Initially, a similar version of the haircut was performed by the masters in one classic form, providing for the average length of hair with the same lower cut along the border of the neck. In addition, there was a direct bang in fashion.
The modern "caret" model at some points differs from the classic haircut of the last century. And for medium-sized curls, stylists today offer a large number of stylish and beautiful options, since this length is the most popular among young girls and adult women. This is due to the advantages that relate to the practicality and femininity of the image.
A “caret” on medium hair will help to hide some of the imperfections in appearance, since the result of a haircut will be a more magnificent hairdo, even if the hair rods are thin in structure. For this, hairdressers offer customers asymmetric and dual haircut options. A feature of the "square" is the ease of installation, which will be able to perform at home independently.
The following points will affect how a “square” with an average length will look in the end:
- thickness and density of hair;
- type of curls;
- face shape and color type of a woman;
- hair color;
- the presence or absence of bangs;
- styling technology.
Today, hairdressers offer girls and women classic straight silhouettes of haircuts, as well as more modern variations, involving the creation of several layers and transitions in the total mass of hair. Such a variety makes it possible to choose the most suitable option for each member of the fair sex.
As for the length, the haircut can reach the chin or end at the level of the shoulders, in some cases, individual strands are lower.
With an average length of hair, it becomes possible to play with technique and experiment with options for staining curls. "Kare" allows ideas with a classic solid color, as well as trend stains in bright colors, using new-fashioned methods of tinting and coloring strands.
The latter options look more harmoniously on multilayer haircuts, when monophonic colors are combined with the correct classic lines of straight strands with bangs.
Who is it for?
Stylists highlight a number of recommendations that will help determine the choice of "care" for medium-length hair.
- As for women with a high forehead and an elongated face shape, hairdressers recommend a haircut with bangs. This option will smooth facial features and make the image more gentle and feminine.
- A “square" to the shoulders is suitable for girls who want to make their neck visually shorter.
- Graduated haircuts will be more to face the fair sex with a round face.
- For owners of thick hair it is worth stopping at a variant of the classical extended "square".
- Asymmetrical “care” will be a suitable option for wavy hair, in addition, curls will look advantageous with “care” on lengthening.
- Stylists recommend a graduated haircut with volume on the top and length of hair to the chin for those who want to smooth out too long facial features.
- The versatility of a hairstyle with medium-length hair will make it possible to hide too sharp cheekbones if the front curls stand out with an oblique and long cut. A similar option is recommended for women after 50 years in order to hide age-related changes in the neck.
- A cascade with voluminous strands is suitable for women with a narrow and long chin. Such a hairstyle will round facial features, make them more feminine.
- Smooth bangs with a “square” will suit almost every girl, as she will emphasize the appearance in her eyes, and also smoothly outline the cheekbones line.
- To hide chubby cheeks or a second chin, the caret should end at the border of the problem area, it is best that the haircut does not have graduated cut lines.
Kinds
Today, this haircut is presented in more than ten variations, which greatly expands the circle of its admirers. Almost all types can be performed with bangs or without it. Among the options for a suitable bang under the "square" for the average length of hair, the following ideas should be highlighted:
- straight and thick bangs;
- milled and more airy version;
- slanting bangs;
- elongated.
Classic
This is the easiest hair cutting technique, which is also very comfortable to wear. The main point that the master takes into account during the haircut is the curl on the back of the head, from which the rest of the haircut is performed.
As a rule, a “square" in a classic design with its edges torn off from the shoulders, and the hair around the circumference of the head has the same length. In most cases, this option is done in conjunction with a direct bang.
On the leg
Outwardly, this “quack” idea has similarities with a mushroom. This is due to the creation by the master of a voluminous “cap” of hair that ends in the chin area. The leg in this case is the neck or very short cut hair on the back of the head. Among the varieties of "square" on the leg, ideas with elongated strands in the area of the face can be noted.
A haircut on the leg is suitable for owners of a beautiful neck.However, the disadvantage of this option is the need for frequent visits to the salon to maintain the shape and beauty of the hairstyle.
Elongated
In this “caret” variant, the hair length may vary from shoulder level to below. This idea allows you to transform the image of a woman, making it airy and romantic in a classic and fairly practical interpretation. The elongated "square" is very popular due to its versatility in terms of the variety of styling options. Hair in this case is allowed to be straightened, or, conversely, curled in large or small curls.
This type of haircut is considered to be ideal for those who want to have a stylish and fashionable “square”, but do not want to give up long curls.
Another way to cut hair using the "care" technique is the option for lengthening. This idea is fundamentally different from the previous version, since the main nuance in this haircut is to increase the length of the hair in a smooth transition, towards the face. Outwardly, one can note some similarities of the “caret” to elongation with the “bob-caret. The result of this option will directly depend on the skill of the hairdresser and the difference in length between the strands behind and near the face. The cutting-edge ideas of such a “square” suggest even shaving the back of the head.
Double
A feature of such an idea is a technique that involves cutting the entire volume of hair with a clear separation into two layers. The first will be located at the back of the head and temples. As a rule, this part will be as short as possible. In this case, the upper layer is created using longer hair.
This technique of working with curls makes it possible to create interesting and unusual images. In addition, the lower part of the cut haircut remains very expressive in this case.
"Bean"
The very name of the variety "square" indicates a combination of two basic techniques in a haircut. Externally, this variety in front looks like a regular “quack”, and behind the strands are trimmed with a graduation, which is so characteristic for a “bob” haircut. This will be the main difference between the view and the classic "square". “Bob” looks equally good on hair of different lengths.
In addition, this type is extremely versatile, so this haircut will be able to beat for any individual appearance characteristics. The advantage of the "bob-car" is a simple styling that can be done at home.
Graduated
A distinctive feature of the "caret" with graduation is the presence of curls throughout the volume, which will stand out with their various sizes. In the course of using a similar technique of hair cutting, the master will form a kind of “ladder” on the head. The ends of the strands are usually milled, which facilitates styling and gives the haircut a unique touch. Also, additional thinning will make it possible to wear and style graduated "caret" for owners of thick and thick hair.
The positive aspects when choosing a graduated "square" should include the possibility of giving additional volume to the haircut. In addition, a professionally performed graduation will look very modern.
When styling, you can give your hair a deliberately sloppy style or lay your curls easily and accurately, repeating the classic “haircut” haircut lines.
Cascade
This type of haircut has some similarities with the graduated "caret", because the master creates a hairstyle on his head, consisting of several layers of curls of different lengths. However, the existing cascade transitions in this case will be more pronounced. Most often, styling is carried out in the form of light and volumetric transitions, to complement the cascade "square" can also be the selection of several strands to create a natural image.
A characteristic feature of this "caret" is the ability of the hair in this embodiment to fit beautifully in waves-layers.
How to choose?
Stylists when choosing the most successful haircut option are based on the following characteristics.
By hair type
For thick hair, thinning will be mandatory, this feature of curls can be used to create classic volumetric lines "caret". Or you can resort to the ideas of cascading haircuts. If the hair is straight, then the hairdresser can recommend a “square” on the leg or “bob”.
Thin hair rods will look good on an elongated "square" without a bang or with its oblique version. It is preferable to cut the length of the haircut, which will be below the chin, and the bottom for a more harmonious cut should be profiled.
Face shape
For the oval type, you can dwell on any version of the "caret" on medium hair. With a vertical elongated face, it is worth choosing ideas involving the presence of a bang. It can be smooth, elongated or trimmed in a semicircle along the oval of the face.
Chubby women should choose a "square" with an extension or "bean". A variety of ideas with asymmetrically trimmed curls will look good.
If there is a desire to make a bang, then it would be more correct to choose the slope of the cut of the strands in one direction.
To soften the expressive cheekbones and other features of a rectangular-type face, the length of the "square" should be calculated based on the width of the oval of the face. For a narrow type, a soft haircut with smooth transitions in slices of curls is recommended.
The square shape requires the obligatory lengthening of the overall image, it is also preferable to smooth the wide cheekbones. In this case, “bob” or “bob” haircuts for lengthening with long strands framing the face will be relevant.
In this case, do not avoid volume, asymmetry or curled locks will be suitable. The parting is allowed to be shifted in any direction.
It will turn out to transform the diamond-shaped face with a variety of haircuts with bangs and an expressive bottom. Therefore, women with such an oval face can be considered the classic types of "square" or a double haircut. The emphasis in this image will be more correctly done in the temporal zone.
A pear-shaped face that is stretched up will be able to successfully beat if you avoid the ideas of “care”, in which the volume will be concentrated at the level of the jaw. It is best to focus in the hairstyle on the temporal region, and also cover the lower part of the face with the tips of the hair.
Too smooth and even sections in this case will be inappropriate. It would be more correct to consider ideas with a multi-layer hair cut with an expressive crown.
If a woman has a face in the shape of a triangle, then stylists will definitely recommend options with the classic idea of a haircut or elongated looks with strands twisted inside.
How to stack?
A “caret” on medium hair is distinguished by many simple styling methods that are quite possible to do at home on your own. First of all, you should decide on the location of the parting. It can be straight in the center or beveled in one direction.
In order for the hair to last in the selected form for as long as possible, before styling it should be treated with mousse or foam. Classic haircut options are immediately recommended to comb, wrapping the ends. Then dry in this position, optionally adding volume on the crown.
Medium-long hair is also possible to wind on curlers or lay strands using a curling iron. After creating the desired option, the entire volume of hair must be fixed with varnish.
Graduated “caret” options will be more correctly stacked using wax or another styling compound as a fixative. With the help of an additional tool on the hair, you can make soft and airy waves or stretch the ends, and as a main accent, create a pile on the crown. This option will be relevant for the idea of "bob".
To give a natural and feminine look, medium hair can be styled in a naughty haircut style, if you apply mousse or foam to your hair after washing, rinse and dry it. Then a little ruffle and fix with varnish.
Beautiful examples
Asymmetry has long been a trendy option in most women's haircuts. "Kare" was no exception. If you want to create a bright and modern look, curls of different lengths with a pronounced border and beautifully laid long strands near the face will help to cope with the task. The additional volume and rich color will make the woman mysterious and memorable.
“Kare” can combine feminine notes and rather bold decisions in creating a haircut. This option includes the ultramodern idea with one shaved temporal lobe.
Despite the creativity of such a solution, a well-chosen combination of hair shade and styling will help to make a very light and beautiful version of the modern version of the "caret".
An elongated look with a straight bang will be a calmer variety of a female haircut, but no less relevant. Harmonious and correct lines with a deep, rich hair color will help the girl to create a gentle and concise look, appropriate not only for everyday styling, but also for special occasions.
