At the beginning of the 20th century, women gladly got rid of long hair and tried on social roles unusual for them. Short haircuts began just then.
A bit of history
In 1909, in France, hairdresser Antoine invented and implemented a short haircut for actress Eva Lavalier. The beginning of fashion for short haircuts was laid precisely then.
These phenomena, which occurred almost 100 years ago, have successfully migrated today with some transformations. Then women just started to cut their hair short, now they boldly try on men's haircuts. One of them is the men's half-box haircut.
A bully haircut speaks for its owner when she is silent. And attracts attention without additional actions for self-expression. “Half Box” as a woman’s jewelry works non-trivially. It emphasizes femininity with its rudeness. How slender legs emphasize large heavy shoes and oversized clothing emphasizes a fragile figure. But heavy boots are not good for all legs, “oversize” is not suitable for everyone, the same story is with the “half box”. We are studying the issue.
If you just choose a haircut, think about how a female “half box” may suit you.
If you have a round face, the strands on the top of the head visually adjust the shape of the head, and the face looks more elongated. Thin hair - haircut technique adds volume. Love dyeing experiments, or just planning to start - the “half box” goes well with non-standard colors. You like patterns, shaved stripes - your short hair on the temples and the back of your head can become a canvas for this beauty.
But a haircut may not work if you have: an oval face - it will look even more oval (although this can be fixed with a long bang). Strongly curly hair - it will be difficult to style (but you can shave the whiskey and leave the length on the crown, it will be easier to handle). If you are a respectable lady, you may suddenly feel uncomfortable with minimalistic temples and a snappy little forelock (but if this thought made you laugh, then everything will be fine, you can cut it).
Varieties
If you have already chosen a “half box”, pay attention to the varieties.
The popularization of many phenomena is sometimes due to public figures. So it was with the "half-box" in girls. The appearance of celebrity with such a haircut caused delight and excitement. Stylists were drawn to people who want the same model hairstyle. The pros have thought about how to adapt what they like to different types, and now thanks to the varieties of the “half box” you can choose yours. Nowadays, the "half-box" hairstyle is not male, but already unisex. She does not oblige the owner to sports style and behavior.
Properly selected, with the right styling, she is feminine and romantic, even in an ultra-short version.
Ultra-short female “half-box” - whiskey is shaved, the longest hair is 6 cm. If you already wore short haircuts, and they suit you, you can take this length. If not worn, but you have a beautiful head shape and an oval face, you can try.
Short “half box” - for girls in the Twiggy style, miniature canes. (Twiggy herself wore a different haircut, but also short, and with this haircut became the first model to unisex haircut on the catwalk).
Mid-length "half-boxes" are similar to men's "half-boxes" - and this length is well suited for thin hair. Such a “half box” without a bang increases forehead height. Visually.
Long “half box” - if you are larger. Most of those who can be seen with the “half-box” wear an extension option. At the crown, the length arrives, but at the back of the head and temples it is minimal (that is, the difference in height of the hairstyle is even more expressive). “Half Box” can also be worn with a long asymmetric bang, especially if you need to adjust the shape of the face. It is possible to confuse an elongated “half box” with a pixie, their difference in how the transition from the parietal and upper occipital part to the temples and lower occipital part is made out. In the female "half-box" they through the smooth transition become as short as possible.
How to cut?
According to the talking name, at the source the haircut belonged to the athletes. The shape of the haircut had its own functionality: on the one hand, it allowed it to quickly dry hair over the neck and at the temples, and on the other, it had a beautiful shape for ordinary life. Very short lower part of the nape and temples, a smooth transition to the upper part of the nape and the parietal zone. Fringing is done along the hairline. The second - along the upper edge, where the hair goes to nothing on the temples and the back of the head. Extra long hair at the crown. The difference in height on the hair looks interesting (the length of the hair on the top of the head is up to 8 cm, and about 4 mm on the back of the head and temples).
For thin hair, the technique of “feathers” or “feathers” is added to the techniques that are characteristic of a “half-box”. This is when the curls at the ends are cut not evenly, but with teeth. This is done with a razor or scissors. The size of the teeth may be different.

How to stack?
Female "half-box" of medium length requires a minimum of styling - apply styling after washing the hair. Wax can be put on your fingers and slightly warmed, rubbing the ends together. This technique avoids strands sticking together from the excess amount of the product. Then apply to the upper strands.
The extended female "half boxing". Treat the strands with mousse and put it back: such a styling will be good for the office, and as an evening one, for going to the theater. Lay the strands on one side, fixing with a strong varnish. Make styling in waves or curls and wax for styling. Tumble slightly. It will turn out very romantic.
To the “half box” with bangs, styling is selected depending on the shape of the hair and the type of bangs. For curly, modeling paste is suitable. The elongated bangs can be laid on one side and raised. You can have fun with different styles. Choose different styling products for different tasks.
To ensure that the bangs are well fixed over the forehead, use a modeling paste of very strong fixation, and it will last from morning to evening.
Comb the strands from the roots to half the length. After that, lay in a mohawk. Perfect for a walk, and for an informal party.
If the hair is dyed, leaving the series for “dyed hair” is mandatory.
“Hair cutting is a state of mind, and not just a way to do something with hair” - the thought of Mary Garden, one of the women who parted with long hair in those days when it was unthinkable, more than a century ago. Sometimes, in order to begin to change from the inside, you can start from the outside. The swirling mood of the "half-box" will help in this.
