In this case, a combination with the length of the bangs will help to highlight wavy locks in the image. For straight curls, as a rule, choose a ragged or two-level cascade.
As for the owners of hard, thick hair or curls, they need to apply deep thinning in the haircut, avoiding cutting the length from the back of the head.
Execution technique
The cascade for long hair with a straight bang looks different, since it can be created using several techniques. In addition, the finishing touch to the hairstyle gives coloring. On long curls, ombre, coloring and highlighting are most often used, thanks to which a clear boundary is obtained in the transition between the steps. Today, masters use several cascade haircut schemes.
- Strand by strand. To get a hairstyle in this way, a gradual equalization of curls is performed. The strands alternately comb up, form levels from the back of the head and cut the hair to the desired length. During the haircut, it is important to carefully comb the curls.
- Control strand. In the middle of the neck, the “main” strand is determined, it is pulled at a right angle and cut to a length of at least 10 cm. The rest of the hair is cut in the same way, after making a horizontal parting. With such a haircut scheme, the hair may appear shorter.
The latest type of technology is considered the most common. To trim hair according to this scheme, it is important to adhere to the following strict algorithm:
- at first, the hair is divided into 4 parts: the occipital, parietal and two side;
- then the main strand is determined at the back of the head or crown, it is pulled and cut to the selected length;
- after that proceed to the equalization of each curl separately; if the hair is thin, it is recommended to collect it in a bun;
- cropped curls are applied to the main strand for control, but not pulling; they should be longer from her;
- hair in the lower zone is aligned with those located above;
- the temporal and parietal parts are also trimmed along the control strand, but the hair in this case is pulled perpendicularly;
- the creation of a hairstyle with bangs is completed (if it is provided for in the model); in the absence of a bang, the curls are aligned on the parietal part;
- at the end it is also necessary to trim everything using thinning scissors.
Despite the fact that the cascade looks great with and without bangs, experts still recommend choosing hairstyles for long hair with straight bangs. Her appearance should be determined before the haircut, taking into account the type of face. The arched type is usually selected for a triangular, square and trapezoidal face, a straight bang is ideal for elongated shapes, it must be milled. Oblique can be used on square, round and diamond-shaped faces.
As for the asymmetric or lateral, it is recommended for girls who have the correct facial features.
Stacking
Recently, many women with long hair choose a cascade haircut, as it perfectly emphasizes femininity and hides all the flaws of the face. In order for the hairstyle to perfectly complement the girl's image with tenderness and grace, the curls need to be properly laid. Long hair can be styled in several ways.
- Lift short hair from the roots with mousse or gel. The result is stylish “feathers” that are suitable for both everyday and evening look. Elongated strands must be dried with a hairdryer, slightly tilting your head down. Their tips are gelled and twisted outward or inward. The combined version of such a styling looks beautiful, in which the curls on the back are twisted outward, and in front - inward. The creation of hairstyles by fixing with varnish is completed.
- Make a cascade with parting. It can be laid in lateral, even and zigzag ways. In this case, hair straightening is performed by ironing, and styling with corrugation is used to obtain waviness. It is important to pay attention to the fact that curled locks should be combined with a straight bang. To get extra volume, use curlers. A retro-style cascade is also considered a great choice, where the bangs are pre-curled, after which they are stabbed with invisibility in several places.
- Make a festive hairstyle. To stand out from the crowd with an unusual and stylish hairstyle, you will need a simple styling. First, a head is washed, then a foam is taken, they are not distributed along the entire length of the strands. Next, they start drying with a hairdryer, in which it is necessary to move smoothly from the roots down. The ends of the curls are laid outward or inward with the help of a round comb, if you wish, you can make an original and beautiful parting. If curls are provided, then they must be formed on well-dried curls, previously lubricated with gel or foam.
In order for the styling to last a long time, it is recommended to fix it with varnish.
