This is due to the versatility and attractiveness of the created hairstyle, in the light of which the "ladder" is suitable for any age and appearance of the fair sex.

Features

A worthy and beautiful option for creating a neat hairstyle, while maintaining the original length of curls, is a haircut "ladder". Choosing a similar technique to trim the curls, it will be possible to create expressive layering on the hair, which will allow you to transform the appearance of the fair sex, providing the strands with additional freedom, as well as the much needed pomp and volume.

The “ladder” looks as beautiful as possible on straight and long curls, however, on the hair with split ends, all the charm of a haircut will fade, since the emphasis of the created haircut is done on them. The way out of this situation will be the use of hot scissors for work, which can prevent the cross section of the hair shaft for a long time, while maintaining the multi-stage attractiveness of the image.

An effective result of the transformation of appearance with the help of a “short flight of stairs” can be a haircut with a bang, which can be selected to fit any features of a woman's face and hair structure.

However, the hairstyle will be no less beautiful without it. In this matter, you can trust the opinion of the hairdresser, who will be able to assess the need for the bangs and its shape based on the oval of the face, the total hair length and other parameters of the female image.

For courageous and young women, it is possible to make an asymmetric or ragged bangs, as well as highlight several strands in the total mass of hair to make the image even more extraordinary.

Another distinguishing feature of the "short flight of stairs" is its easy installation and maintenance.

As for color solutions, the haircut "ladder" will look harmonious with any color, and the coloring does not have to be monophonic.

It will be possible to emphasize the gradation with the help of various techniques of partial coloring with highlighting light or dark locks in the total volume of hair. Dark tones will help emphasize the texture, light inclusions can visually add volume to the haircut. The use of highlighting or coloring technique will become relevant. It will be possible to highlight the beauty of the tips by painting in the style of a balayazh, to make smooth color transitions on the strands and layers will be obtained using the ombre.

Advantages and disadvantages

The demand for "ladders" among the fair sex is due to positive features, which are inherent in this technique of working with hair.

  • Thanks to the creation of multi-stage women's hairstyle will become easier and more lively. Which is important for weak and thin hair.
  • "Ladder" will be the most successful option for girls who value their long hair, but want to look stylish and modern.
  • A haircut will hide some of the imperfections in appearance, for example, visually narrow a square face with massive cheekbones or hide auricles.
  • A haircut can be done not only on long but also short hair. In each case, it will become a decoration of the image.

  • The versatility of the haircut makes it possible to experiment with various ideas for styling curls, so that the girl will be able to create everyday and solemn images. It will turn out to style hair independently.

It is worth highlighting the drawback of the "ladder", which relates to the need for a rather long period in order to grow curls of the same length after a step haircut.

In addition, even minimally cut hair rods will make your hair look messy.

Who is it for?

As practice shows, such a haircut will be in the face of almost every woman, regardless of the appearance and oval of the face. It is especially recommended for chubby women, as well as for a universal oval face.A round face with steps will become more elongated, an oval face will be visually more rounded. Small features with a "ladder" will be more expressive against the general background. If you plan to make a hairstyle for a round face, then steps with a difference in lengths should begin in the chin area.

However, too sharp jumps in the formation of hair layers should still be avoided.

As for the square type of face, strands of different sizes will help to hide too prominent and angular outlines. It will be possible to soften this type of appearance when highlighting a haircut with beautiful coloring in the ombre style, choosing soft and natural colors and shades for this. For a triangular shape, it is worth starting a bevel in length from the middle of the cheekbone to make an oval of the face with the correct proportions.

The most beautiful “ladder” looks on perfectly straight curls. The “ladder” on curls curling from nature becomes very attractive and harmonious. In this version, a cascading haircut does not even have to be laid daily and dried with a hairdryer.

On thick and dense hair, a haircut is done with a large distance between the layers.

As for thin hair rods, for them the gap between the steps should be small to provide the appearance of the hairstyle with airiness, and lightness along the length of the hair.

Varieties

There are a number of basic options for creating a similar female hairstyle.

Classical "ladder"

In this technique, hair throughout the head will predominantly have the same length. In this case, the volume of the hairstyle remains the same only at the bottom. The master performs a cut with a “ladder” in the crown area, and also in front - in bangs. As a result of a correctly performed haircut, a voluminous “cap” of natural hair will form on the head.

This idea is most suitable for women's hairstyles with medium hair length.

No bangs

The idea looks best on girls with regular facial features and a low forehead. The strands at the level of the temporal lobes are sheared in this case according to the principle of a cascade with a good trimming of the ends.

With a bang

A stepped haircut is usually complemented by an even bang with a straight cut, which will make it possible to visually cover a too prominent or high forehead. Among the varieties of smooth bangs, one can distinguish shortened options that will reach a maximum to the middle of the forehead, as well as elongated ones - where the length of the strands usually reaches the level of the eyebrows.

A short flight of stairs may suggest a rounded bang, which harmoniously flows into the total mass of hair in a haircut. For creative and bold decisions, there are options for torn bangs, as well as oblique with asymmetry.

In addition, the "ladder" looks very harmonious with a long bang, which is perfect for hairstyles for medium hair.

Offset Center

In this case, the task of the hairdresser is to create an asymmetry with a parting placed with a slope in one direction. This method gives the classic haircut youth and bold notes. In addition, the haircut will be quite easy to style in the future.

With torn strands

The most expressive version of the "short flight of stairs", since the layering in this case will be created on the hair to the maximum. Together with creative painting, this idea will be a very successful way to create a fashionable and youthful female image.

"Ladder" - cascade

Haircut in this technique involves the creation of clear layers throughout the volume and length of the hair. Typically, this option does not include bangs.

Execution scheme

"Ladder" is not distinguished by any difficulties in terms of creation. However, the ability of the created hairstyle to highlight the virtues of the female image, as well as the availability of options that will help hide possible flaws, will depend on the professionalism of the master.

The algorithm of work in this case will be as follows.

  • Only clean hair should be cut. After washing, they need to be dried naturally and combed.
  • Subject to the creation of a haircut with bangs, this zone should be worked out first of all in the chosen option. In its absence, it is necessary to choose the shortest strand in this image, which will become the control in the whole haircut. As a rule, on long hair, it will reach the earlobe.
  • Next, you need to divide all the hair into sections. First of all, the curls are divided into the main parting, after which the mass of hair must be divided from one ear to the other, delimiting the top and back of the head. You need to start cutting the length from the back of the head.
  • In this area, you need to select the middle curl, pull it at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the head and set the desired length. The rest of the hair is cut, focusing on the first lock.
  • The next step is to work with the crown. There, hair is cut in a similar pattern.
  • Having finished with the crown, the master will need to make stepped sections at the temples. It is important to ensure that the transitions are as smooth as possible. The left and right temples must be observed clear symmetry.
  • At the final stage, the master needs to carry out a control thinning of the ends, as well as make styling using a hairdryer. If desired, the tips of the "ladder" can be twisted a little inward with a curling iron or ironing.

Styling methods

Today, there are many useful devices and compositions for creating a beautiful "ladder". For those women who have a minimum of time for daily hair styling, it is worth resorting to a new-fangled invention - thermobrush. For this procedure, you will need a foam or varnish to fix the result and only a few minutes of free time.

An equally effective option that will help to lay the ladder beautifully is a hairdryer with a special brushing nozzle.

In this case, do not abuse the fixation compositions so that the hair does not look too heavy.

The ends of the "ladder" may be directed outward or, conversely, inward. The first method will look great on haircuts with an average length of curls. The second option is universal, it is suitable for the "ladder" on an elongated caret.

It will be possible to beautifully lay the ends if a wet effect is created on the hair using special gels or mousses for these purposes.

You can work with stepped layers of hair using a conventional curling iron, and you can also wind your hair onto curlers. The classic version of the haircut will turn out to be effectively laid with the help of irons, which will help to curl or straighten the strands. With the help of papillots or curlers it will be possible to make romantic curls and voluminous curls on the "ladder".

For curly hair it will be enough to apply a little fixing agent for styling on the curls and dry it with a hairdryer, wrinkling locks, or let it dry naturally. For even hair, styling can be created in a deliberately sloppy style, for this, foam or mousse must be applied to still wet curls and dried, then the strands are placed all over the head in a chaotic manner and are fixed with varnish.

Such an idea will most successfully look on ragged "ladders".

A “ladder” of medium length or a cap on the crown of long hair can be lifted with a comb and brushed off with invisibility. This installation option will be appropriate for a special occasion and evening toilets.
