Nowadays, the good old square is very popular. There are many variations of this haircut, allowing each woman to choose the shape of the hairstyle that matches her individual appearance. One of these modifications is an elongated bob with a bang for medium hair length.
It should immediately be said that such a haircut is not for everyone. Here, the type of hair, their color, face shape and other parameters are of great importance. However, a woman with the external characteristics suitable for creating this hairstyle can add elegance to her everyday look, and with the help of various styling techniques for special occasions, she can realize the most creative ideas. More about the features of this popular and quite effective haircut will be discussed later.
Features of the technique
The so-called elongated caret is created on the basis of the classic. Its characteristic feature is the presence of clear contours, a gradual transition from a rather short occipital zone, exposing the neck line, to more elongated strands bordering the face. That is, in front of the hair can reach the line of the chin and even lower, and on the back of the head they will be much shorter and, accordingly, more voluminous. This achieves the effect of a "raised" hairstyle. This haircut fits perfectly into both everyday and evening looks.
An elongated square with a bang will make the proportions of a woman's face more expressive and help put an emphasis on her personality.
But the most phenomenal feature of this hairstyle is that the shape of the bangs here has a huge impact on the entire geometry of the haircut.By experimenting with different styling or changing its position, you can be transformed daily without changing the hairstyle itself. It is only necessary to conjure a little bit over the shape and configuration of the bangs - and your image will be updated.
When creating an extended caret, the master adheres to a phased algorithm.
- The strands are parted clearly in the center and fixed with hairpins.
- In the lower part of the occipital zone, a small strand separates in the center. They make it the right length, setting the length of the future hairstyle.
- Each subsequent strand (10-15 mm wide) is cut at a certain angle. This haircut technique allows you to create the same extension. Further, whiskey is processed according to the same principle.
- A correctly executed elongated square has absolutely straight lines, so at the end you need to trim the strands and make sure that the hairstyle looks symmetrical.

Advantages and disadvantages
When compared with other haircuts, the elongated square has many advantages:
- has ample opportunities regarding the creation of a variety of styling: the locks can be aligned, made wavy, wound, collected in a tail or bundle;
- It is combined with many clothing styles;
- It doesn’t need frequent shape correction - even when the hair grows out, the hairstyle still looks well-groomed.
The disadvantages of a haircut include the need to often style it, and this is not suitable for all girls.
Also, elongated caret is not recommended for girls with curls, otherwise they will have to devote a lot of time to styling.
This can be fixed in the following ways. Firstly, you can curl with large curls and only then cut your hair. If the haircut involves a length “to the shoulders”, then in this case it will be necessary to let the hair go at least 10 cm more than the approximate value of the side locks. This is due to the fact that the curl visually shortens the hair.
Varieties
Elongated caret has many ways to perform. Most often, fashionistas like to experiment with bang options. In general, a bang in itself has a ton of advantages. Firstly, it helps to hide wrinkles and a sloping or too small forehead. Secondly, the shapes of bangs can be periodically changed, thereby refreshing your image as a whole. And finally, the fringe makes the look more expressive.
The most popular are elongated square with a straight, oblique and ragged bangs. Let's figure it out in order.
Straight bang
With the help of a bangs of this form, you can emphasize the proportions of the face, so for girls who have pronounced cosmetic defects (for example, curvature of the nose, strabismus, drooping eyelids, asymmetry of the face, etc.), it is better to consider another option for the bangs, because otherwise it will only draw attention on the flaws. Also, this hairstyle is not suitable for owners of a full face - such ladies should choose a different form of bangs or choose a haircut altogether without it.
In addition, for a hairstyle with a very short nape, straight bangs will not work.
With oblique bangs
So, now it’s clear that a straight bang, trimmed as if under a ruler, is not suitable for all fans of elongated caret. There is another option - bangs, trimmed diagonally.
It should be borne in mind that the oblique fringe should not look too isolated from the overall composition. It will be necessary to organically fit into the entire ensemble of a haircut, otherwise the whole image will not look perfect.
You also need to know that gradation depends on the hairstyle itself - the lower the end of the lock, the more pronounced the bang angle. It should be noted that the oblique bangs can always be varied according to the general image and just to your mood. Assistants in this matter for you will be a hair dryer, curling iron and means for fixing the hairstyle.
The slanting fringe is well suited both for owners of persons in the form of an inverted triangle, and for ladies with an oval face.
Oblique bangs can “stretch” the face, and stylists are very often guided by this, recommending this type of haircut to their clients.
Also, oblique bangs will be a very good choice if your square is asymmetrical edge. This option is well suited for girls with a square face shape - such a decision will help to add a “heavy” lower part of the pretty and “soften” the whole image as a whole.
With torn bangs
This option is suitable not only for creating the image of a sort of rebel girl, but also for secular beauties who are not afraid of bold experiments, this haircut will be very to the face. Torn bangs have recently been popular with ladies of Balzac and even pre-retirement age, and all because this option of the bangs can prettyly rejuvenate a woman, while the correction of her shape is much less common, in contrast to the haircut option with the correct geometric lines.
For blond curly hair, an elongated caret with torn bangs is ideal. Ash or copper hair color is also elegantly combined with this haircut.
With short bangs
It is extremely short, thick, rare, asymmetric. This detail makes the woman's face more open and emphasizes her most striking features. Therefore, only owners of ideal proportions can decide on this hairstyle. Short bangs are best for women with an oval face.
Also, a short bang can decorate the face in the shape of a triangular oval, but provided that it is combed on one side. This is more true for ladies with thin faces.

How to choose?
As was said, elongated caret is not for everyone. Therefore, it is very important for a woman, turning to the master with a request to create such a hairstyle on her head, to know about the criteria for choosing this haircut. Crucial in this matter is the type of hair, its length and shape of the face.
Hair type and length
First of all, you should warn girls with thin and obedient curls from creating this hairstyle in themselves, since it will be incredibly difficult for them to give the proper volume. And without this, the square will not look spectacular.
If a girl has oily hair, then such hair will not just create a spectacular volume on the back of her head.
With excessively curly curls, you need to remember that the shorter the haircut, the more curls there will be on the head, so owners of such hair need to do a hairstyle with as long a nape as possible.
By face type
If you are firmly committed to making yourself a caret with elongation, then you need to take seriously the selection of haircut geometry.
Girls with oval faces need to choose the form of a haircut that visually will not stretch the face even more. Therefore, according to experts, such haircuts with asymmetry elements are most suitable for them.
Owners of persons in the shape of an inverted triangle will have a haircut in which the side locks reach the level of the chin. In this case, it is recommended to choose a straight bang - this will help to visually “smooth” overly massive forehead.
For chubby women, haircuts are visually lengthening their face. Here the main emphasis should be placed on the choice of bangs. The best option for chubby ladies is an elongated bang on one side.
It should be added that a woman before going to the salon should understand how this or that hairstyle suits her. Therefore, no matter how you like the elongated caret, it is important to really evaluate the properties of your appearance. It is better, of course, when making such a decision to be guided by the advice of a professional who will draw up his expert opinion by evaluating the structure of your hair and the type of face.
By hair color
Blonde women, as well as having a pale skin tone, experts advise choosing an elongated square with a slanting fringe. Such a combination will put a bright emphasis on the expressiveness of the eyes.
All types of this hairstyle are very suitable for brunettes. The thick straight bangs in combination with dark hair look quite advantageous. Red-haired beauties are also suitable for elongated caret.
However, here it is necessary to take responsibility for the choice of bangs.
How to stack?
A characteristic feature of the elongated caret is that this hairstyle needs careful care and frequent styling. In addition, the caret needs to be periodically adjusted in the cabin. Remember that a groomed and shapeless hairstyle will ruin any look and create a sense of untidiness.
There are several simple methods for laying an extended square.
- Forming hairstyles with a hairdryer. To do this, use a large round comb. The curls must be twisted in or out during drying. If you want to create perfectly straight strands, then a skeleton comb will be your assistant in this matter.
- Do not forget about thermal styling. To create an effective image, use a curling iron or ironing. With their help, you can make seductive curls, elegant waves and smooth smooth strands.
Lovers of creative images can also be recommended to make the effect of “careless waves” based on their elongated square. To do this, wet hair should be made into flagella (it is also possible to use papillots for this purpose). After this, the hair must be dried without using a hair dryer until it completely dries.
When your curls are almost dry, you can remove the flagella and apply foam to your hair to create curls. Next, you need to dry your hair with a hairdryer. Finally, carefully distribute the “waves” with your hand. A careless and at the same time spectacular image is provided to you.
Options for everyday styling.
- To create a slightly sloppy casual look in casual style, you need to apply a little foam on wet curls to fix the hairstyle and dry them, while lifting them at the roots.
- Perfectly straight hairstyles can be achieved with an ordinary ironing. This styling is perfect for business ladies.
- To set the direction of the tips of the hair, use a round comb while working with the hairdryer.
Options for evening styling.
- To be successful on your first date, lay on one side.To create it, you need to wind the locks a little on the curling iron, comb on one side and fix with varnish and invisibility.
- A vintage-style hairstyle is very suitable for creating a solemn bow: very slowly passing the strand after strand through the usual curling iron, you can make spectacular waves, like the Hollywood stars of the 40s. At the end, the finished hairstyle must be fixed with varnish.
