Session haircut for medium hair

Ladies, choosing their hairstyle, tend to constantly look for something new, surprising others with a new stylish way, and hairdressers strive to meet them in this, offering more and more new hairstyles. A relatively recent invention that quickly became fashionable was the Sesson haircut, and although it is worn all over the world, it still has not had time to become boring. Therefore, for the originality of the image or to emphasize some specific features of appearance, this is exactly what you need.

One of the main reasons why the session has not yet become truly massive is the complexity of its implementation. In fact, it is a bang, which smoothly passes into the occipital lengthening, which is why with a stretch it could be called a kind of classic "hat". This is one of the few hairstyles whose author is well known - it was Vidal Sassun, a famous stylist-innovator, whose main innovations are dated to the second half of the last century.

As often happens, the hairstyle does not become really popular until there is a certain well-known celebrity who decided to “advertise” the image for free. In the case of the session, such an impetus was given by Mireille Mathieu, who, at least in Europe, did not need any representation.

Sesson is a multi-layer haircut suitable for hair of any length except long. Particular difficulty lies in the painstaking work, because the contour of the hairstyle must be viewed very clearly, and for this the master has to do delicate work, processing each tiny strand separately to maintain a clearly defined angle.The outlines of the haircut are characterized by smoothness, there is no place for sharp turns and excesses. The bangs are present, its outlines are also gently curved, the lower edge is usually also slightly twisted inward so that the ends of the hair are not visible.

Having appeared relatively recently, the session found a response in the souls of many fashionistas, which clearly indicates certain advantages of such a haircut. At the same time, a certain wave of craze for this hairstyle was not noted, which means that there are certain disadvantages too. Choosing a style for yourself, you should first of all take an interest in the pros and cons, which we will do.

One of the main advantages of such a hairstyle is considered to be its versatility. Sesson does not put forward special requirements for a girl who is suitable for such a hairstyle, for example, she can be either oval, round or with any other face. There are also no age restrictions: such styling is considered appropriate both in young years and in adulthood.

Due to the gradual lengthening of the hair, such a hairstyle seems quite voluminous, because it is well suited even to those girls who can not boast of truly impressive hair. Sesson does not require a specific hair color. It is generally accepted that atypical shades better emphasize this hairstyle, but this does not mean that classic tones are inappropriate. Due to some flexibility in the rules for performing such a haircut, orientation to the appearance of a particular customer is allowed. At the same time, a sesson is usually suitable for aristocratic, refined images, therefore it is not suitable for any clothes, but it certainly will not ruin an expensive and fashionable one.

There are certainly disadvantages as well. The first and foremost among them is the need to find a truly skilled craftsman, since a simple hairdresser from the nearest barber will not do the job well. This means that you will have to spend a decent amount of time and money to create a hairstyle, and after all, the clarity of smooth lines is possible only if you cut the ends at least once a month and a half. In addition, a session, even if it does not require a complicated styling procedure, still does not provide a single way to beautifully collect loose hair, and with a considerable length such a hairstyle often interferes with normal life.

For all its versatility, this haircut nevertheless assumes different compatibility with individuals: it is suitable for some people to a greater extent, while someone should completely abandon it.

Most often, such a haircut is recommended for women who acutely feel the style and need it, but who do not have the opportunity to spend time putting them in order. Sesson allows you to simply beat your washed hair with your bare hands and dry it in any way - that's the whole styling procedure that does not require extra effort. Apart from regular trips to the stylist, this haircut can be considered extremely easy to care for.

There are no special requirements for hair length, except for very long ones, but it is generally accepted that the best haircut looks exactly on short hair. This is logical: since the session is created with the aim of simplifying the care of the hair as much as possible, one should not be surprised that it combines perfectly with its shortening. A short version of the hairstyle gives visual lightness without canceling any of the above advantages.

Absolutely all varieties of sesson cover their ears, and most species do this in their entirety (even the urine is not visible from the outside). If a girl, for any reason, fair or far-fetched, is embarrassed by her ears, it is the session that can become her salvation, since the "weak spot" will be reliably protected from prying eyes. Hairstyle even theoretically does not involve the collection of hair in the tail, which means that situations when the ears are still open, simply does not arise.

The initial version of this haircut is considered one of the best in order to look aristocratic and majestic even in old age. Firstly, the session looks much more modern than most "senile" hairstyles, and therefore for this reason it seems to rejuvenate the image. Secondly, a rather long fringe covers most of the forehead, and this is where the focus of wrinkles is usually observed - and this also adds points to the anti-aging effect. The notorious “noble old age” may look like that precisely because of such a haircut.

As a rule, a session is perceived as a hairstyle for straight hair, but in fact, curly hair, small curls or notes of negligence are allowed. Another thing is that classic curls or well-marked curls are completely incompatible with this hairstyle: they simply will not lie and will constantly violate the given shape, while the advantage of the original concept was the lack of need for regular styling.

Real professionals distinguish several varieties of a sesson, although a person without a trained eye would not always be able to immediately determine what the difference is between the two species. We will not delve into the finest details, but we will consider in more detail the two most common variants of hairstyles, focused on medium hair with the possibility of slight deviation in length.

The original version of the female haircut, invented by Vidal Sassoon, did not imply anything like clear gradients. The length of the hair, of course, is not the same in different parts of the head, but there should not even be a semblance of sharpness in the transition - the master cuts almost every hair in millimeters, since this is the only way to achieve an ideal smooth transition. Accordingly, the slightest mistake means that the haircut is spoiled - all work will have to be started anew.

The classic haircut model is inextricably linked with the bangs, because without it you simply won’t get a continuous smooth line without sharp turns and bends. Actually, it is a combination of bangs and an elongated occipital part through a smooth transition that makes the session an original hairstyle, because any attempt to abandon this part turns the haircut into some more familiar classic option, for example, in a bob or square.

In the most classical sense, a sesson implies smooth lines, including on a bang, but modern stylists, in an attempt to create something of their own and not focus on generally accepted rules, constantly make certain changes to the design of a haircut. Today, the presence of some bangs is already considered a prerequisite, and it is not so important what form it takes.

Thanks to this, you can find specific hairstyle options with a braid or asymmetric, shortened or even elongated bangs, and all this is often served with classic dressing.On the other hand, clients in the hands of a skilled craftsman usually do not complain, because all these deviations from the rules are often created in order to take into account the peculiarities of the customer’s appearance in the smallest details, and this is also a definite plus for originality and originality.

As is often the case with complex things, mass demand forces the creators to experiment intensively with the simplification of the product, because of which it often loses all of its original properties and can only look outwardly similar to the original. Something similar happened with the session - although the fundamental requirement in the classics was a continuous smooth line, as if outlining the whole head, as it were, with the same term today are called hairstyles, the technique of which involves graduation.

For a master, making this type of haircut is already much easier, because there are no more perfectly smooth lines, and you would have to follow approximate contours when performing any ordinary haircut. And if so, then many stylists decide to decorate what was once called a session with slightly torn edges, due to which minor flaws in terms of imperfectly sustained lines are no longer so striking.

Regardless of how such a hairstyle should be called, many clients like it.

• Firstly, for all its deviations from the classical standards, it no longer requires perfectly lying hair - the appearance of a slight mess is allowed, which is quite normal with wavy hair.
• Secondly, the classic session often looks too prim - its graduated version can not be compared with it in aristocracy, but it seems easier and more romantic.
• Thirdly, this option of hairstyle, in view of a simpler technique, can be done in any beauty salon, which means that the cost will not be so high. With all this, the haircut still remains beautiful and claims to be fashionable, and most importantly - it is subtly similar to a session, although, in fact, it is not.
