Haircuts "under the pot": features, tips on the selection and styling

It is enough to recall the heroes of Russian fairy tales to imagine a haircut, unromanticly called "under the pot." They were worn by males, and it was carried out exactly along the edge of the cap. Similar caps adorned the heads of men in the Middle Ages, when uniformity was the motto. Then the hairstyle lost its relevance until the 60s of the XX century and returned, including in the female variation. A short laconic haircut has become one of the opportunities to achieve equal rights for women.

Today, thanks to the returning fashion to geometry, this haircut is experiencing a new peak in popularity. Not only women’s, but also children's haircuts of similar forms are relevant.

A haircut “under the pot” is also called a “hat”. It looks quite strictly in the classical interpretation, has the following distinctive features:

• smooth bangs in the eyebrow area;
• a voluminous “cap” of hair is located in the areas of the nape, crown, crown;
• rear view makes it possible to see the neck in all its glory, as it is assumed that it should be as open as possible;
• the length may be medium or short;
• it is possible to perform both open and closed design options for temples;
• bangs can go into sections that cover the ears;
• the face is clearly marked out, as if in a frame of strands;
• a thick bang type can correct facial features, hide age-related changes;
• It is important to consider the type of strands and face when choosing the version of this haircut.

Modern hairdressing makes it possible to interpret this hairstyle to your individual characteristics and tastes.Shaved bottom, sideburns, raised mass of strands or elongated - there are quite enough versions, especially since modern painting methods are able to bring real drive and chic to the composition: bright shades, coloring.

There are several basic variations in the performance of the haircut under the "pot".

• Classic. It is this option that we most often see in children. The cut of such a hairstyle is even, the lines are smooth, ideal, however, inclusion of a fragmentary bang into the composition is permissible. At the same time, it can be diagonal, which increases the number of suitable types. In the occipital area (directly under the cut), excess strands are shaved. Parting can be located in the center or be lateral.

• Asymmetry. This variation meets the latest fashion trends, in a similar hairstyle, asymmetric lines can be made in the form of a ragged cut, which should be moderately sloppy. If your strands do not differ in thickness, then this type will be more suitable. Asymmetric strands may be present in the design of sideburns, bangs. The main thing is not to use all asymmetric lines at once and make them as smooth as possible.

• Elongation. Such a pot is slightly “consonant” with a caret cut, only much shorter, and the length of the strands around the circumference is absolutely equal. A short bang can be knocked out of the overall composition, its cut should be slightly higher. Great move - shaved strands below the cut line. Such a clearly executed bright haircut is suitable only for perfectly oval faces.

• Glam rock, or minimalism. It is carried out in an ultrashort version, which can be supplemented by torn strands, evenly cut or asymmetric. Shaved bottom is required, the shape is preferably oval. This version is suitable only for those who, after a few days, are ready to go for correction, since it is necessary to often pick up overgrown strands.

• Originality. As a rule, in this version we find bright coloring, monochrome or complex. In this season, red-orange gamma, blue, pink, yellow is especially popular. Partially locks in the bangs can be distinguished over the entire mass of hair. The main condition for a harmonious image is a measure. Even the most striking, catchy image must be kept within certain limits.

Most often, this hairstyle is recommended for children up to the age of three. The strands in this period of life are heterogeneous in length and structure, too thin, often confused. In addition, it is necessary that the children's head looks neat, well-groomed, but simple. The more the strands get confused, the shorter the “pot” option should be.

In kindergarten age, you can continue to perform such a haircut if the child does not mind, but in school it is better to refuse it. It is unlikely that the child himself will want to look like a baby in this difficult period of growing up. In addition to this reason, stylists also highlight other disadvantages of such a haircut at school age, for example, loss of strands. The best option is a classic short haircut.

Modern women's hairstyle "under the pot" is not as strict as its previous versions. However, even the most fashionable version has both advantages and disadvantages. Before making your choice in favor of such a haircut, you need to weigh the pros and cons. The real highlight of the “cap” haircut is a combination of male motifs and female attractiveness. She should at least be suitable for her face shape, style and lifestyle.

The advantages of stylists include:

• relevance, modernity of the image with such a haircut;
• practicality (if you correctly evaluated your features of the strands, styling will not be difficult);
• the ability to emphasize facial features;
• can be applied both in male variation, and in female, children's;
• it will give youth to men, it will provide a neat image for children, girls will look bold, sexy;
• no age restrictions;
• the volume at the crown visually draws a silhouette.

Among the disadvantages are the following:

• not suitable for the “circle” and “square” types, as it visually expands the face;
• “pot” does not require complicated daily laying, but the wizard will have to visit often (for correction);
• not suitable for wavy strands - performed only on straight lines;
• if the hair type is not determined correctly, daily fixation with the use of styling agents will be necessary;
• such a hairstyle should be avoided by full people, those who do not have bright face flaws, otherwise they will be on display;
• There are restrictions on the style, since the "pot" does not fit into every image.

Like any other hairstyle, the "pot" is selected based on the structure of the strands, the features of the face.

The length of the strands can be short, an extended version is suitable for medium hair. Do not experiment with these types of haircuts to the owners of curls. Theoretically, this is possible, but laying will be very difficult and time-consuming. Stylists recommend making such a haircut for those who have obedient straight strands. It will not be time consuming. If the hair is fluffy, then daily straightening and fixing will be necessary.

Round and square faces are excluded: their haircut will make it even wider. Strictly speaking, the "pot" is recommended only for owners of the face type "oval". Since the features will be displayed as much as possible, one should not risk those who have them rude, outstanding, for example, a large or long nose. But the "pot" emphasizes the subtle features very effectively. A narrow nose, beautifully set large eyes, soft lines will look harmonious in the frame of such a haircut.

The main limitation when choosing a baby haircut "under the pot" is the lack of curly locks and bangs that do not close your eyes. If the strands are prone to tangling, it is better to choose a shorter option. A children's haircut should be as comfortable and accurate as possible, only if these requirements are met, you can choose what suits your child. On the baby’s head, the laconic geometry looks just fine, especially since the care of the haircut is minimal.

If your strands are of sufficient thickness and are evenly laid, no special styling efforts will be required. The main thing is to correct the hairdo of the master in time, so that the form does not lose its effectiveness. The main purpose of styling this type of haircut is straightening, creating the impression of absolutely smooth strands.

Strands can be stacked even with just your hands, it is so easy to achieve a fashionable casual effect. It is enough to take a little gel and treat it with strands along the entire length. Then blow dry with a hair dryer, simultaneously creating the shape and volume that you want to achieve. Another effective way to emphasize the structure of the haircut is to highlight individual strands with wax.

In the event that you decide to make a similar haircut, being the owner of wavy strands, be prepared for daily use of an iron.

Shiny smooth hair and spectacularly laid bangs can give a boyish charm to any right face. The main thing is to really appreciate the features of the type.

Fashionable lightening of strands in the area of ​​the cap will give the "pot" lightness, dynamism and relevance. This hairstyle is particularly well combined with the style of sport-chic.

A round hat of strands can cover the ears, which makes it possible to correct facial features.

Outrageous lovers can afford luxurious coloring. It is important to choose the right shades for the original color of the strands: they should be in harmony with each other.
