A hairstyle with bangs and evenly cut hair to the shoulders or below has been known for a very long time. It was worn by both men and women in Egypt. After it was widespread in medieval Europe and was used mainly by representatives of the strong half of humanity. Now she is popular among women.
Stylists have created many of its varieties, which are achieved not only by different hair lengths, but also by modern hairdressing techniques. Among them are thinning, graduation, slicing, creative coloring, styling and others.
One of the most interesting options is a square to the shoulders with a bang. This haircut is suitable for almost everyone because of its versatility. It is worth considering it in detail.
Classic square
A feature of this haircut is an even edging, as if by a ruler. The technology consists in cutting all the hair on one level. The length is set by the control lock, which is allocated behind the ear in the lower occipital area. Next, part of the hair is cut off in the seventh cervical vertebra. This technique is performed for medium length strands. A row is being cut, a new one is highlighted, above the previous one. Its length is slightly increased. So lock by lock, row by row the entire occipital region is cut. In the temporal part, a guy is drawn to the control curl. The bangs are formed separately and, in fact, is an independent fragment.
In the photo - a square to the shoulders with a straight bang. This option is considered classic. The bangs can also be done on thick hair, then it is cut in the same way as the back of the head — slightly increasing in length as it moves toward the crown. If the curls are very thick, two to three centimeters of the parietal zone are distinguished for the front part, in the case of thin and sparse hair - all.
This haircut is performed with the head tilted. The edging should be parallel to the floor, strictly horizontal. Therefore, the master does not rely on his eye, does not ask the client to sit evenly, but uses the method of control strands, constantly comparing and measuring the desired length.
The peak of popularity of such a hairstyle was in the sixties of the last century. Then they forgot about it for a long time, in the seventies they wore a square below the shoulders without bangs and now the classics are back in fashion thanks to new varieties proposed by stylists and modern painting techniques.
Graduated caret
The technique by which volume is created is called graduation. It provides a smooth change in the length of the hair in any area of the haircut. Often they use it, working out the occipital area. They can both adjust the shape of the head and add splendor to thin hair. Such a caret will no longer be considered a classic, but in recent years it is graduation that gives a certain style to most hairstyles.
On weak hair, it is good to perform this technique of all zones according to the cascade principle - in this case, the control strand is highlighted on the top of the head and the entire volume is cut on it. For curly curls, this method is indispensable - it avoids the A-silhouette and raises them, making it easier. If the density of the hair allows, thinning of each strand is performed, allowing the hairstyle to form on its own.
Graduated caret to the shoulders with bangs can be stacked in various ways - straighten hair with an iron, curl curls, create complex variations with letters and even weave. But if there is no time, you can just wash your hair and apply pea mousse to wet strands - the hairstyle will turn out by itself.
Kare with lengthening
This option always looks stylish, be it a square below the shoulders without a bang or with it. But it is not suitable for everyone because it visually shortens the neck a little. This haircut requires constant care, but the impression is great. Most often, it is recommended for owners of heavy straight hair. Then styling will consist only in pulling the front strands with an iron. Naughty hair will cause a lot of trouble, they will have to be adjusted during the day.
If there are fears that it will be difficult to maintain a strict form, then professionals recommend making an elongated square below the shoulders without bangs. Then it will be possible to take hair in the tail for homework. And for a festive occasion to form curls or to style hair in a hairstyle. A length of 5 cm below the level of the clavicle is sufficient to make a beautiful, even cut of the edging. If the hair creates an undesirable volume, it is milled two to three centimeters from the ends.
Cutting technology comes down to pulling the strands forward. After the control curl was set and cut, the elongation angle is determined in the occipital region. For medium hair, this can be an edge facial strand reaching the axilla. Alternately, working strands from two sides, form a beautiful concave line.
If a caret is chosen up to the shoulders with a bang, it is also cut with elongation: the edge ends can reach the earlobe and repeat the line of edging. This visually stretches the face, so they often resort to a thick bang.
What length to choose
Every woman seeks to find her image. It can sometimes change, and then the question arises about the length of the hairstyle. There are several basic principles that should be followed:
- Weak hair will feel better in short haircuts. If we are talking about shoulder length, you can make an elongated bean, asymmetry or graduation.
- Grunge is a style that involves a short length. It is not advisable to choose it for hair below the shoulders.
- So that the master can accurately understand the wishes of the client, it is better to always have the appropriate photo with you. An elongated square below the shoulders - without bangs or with some variant of it - refers to long hairstyles and has its own characteristics. In particular, the texture can not be performed on the entire area of the haircut. With wind or some head movements, light hair will become tangled and may not look the way we would like. The wizard will take into account all these nuances and select the best option.
There is an important aspect in the issue of choosing length - the ability to do without constant care, being content with only timely washing of the head. Fortunately, modern haircuts allow you to find such options.
Stitching season 2018-2019
To give a haircut depth will help competent coloring. With its help, it is possible to visually turn weak hair into thick. This is achieved by applying four closely related gamma tones. Staining is performed on the foil in strands.
An example is presented in the photo. The elongated square to the shoulders without bangs, the master painted in the style of ombre, or gradient. This is a smooth transition of color from the roots to the tips. Single strands are highlighted, as if from the sun. Now this coloring is very popular. Unfortunately, it cannot be performed on your own at home. But this complex procedure does not have to be repeated every month: you will only have to work with the root zone. Primary staining can be done in the salon, and then follow the recommendations of the colorist in home care. Ombre - grateful coloring. It allows you to rarely visit the hairdresser.
After the haircut is done, foil strips are prepared. By means of the darkest of the selected shades, the root zone is stained for two centimeters. The remaining length of the strands is applied one-tone lighter color. So they process the occipital and vertex areas, and in the parietal region and temples make selective staining. The rest of the hair is left untouched for now.
After applying two dark tones, proceed to two light tones. Similarly, the stains are stained, previously untouched. Only now do they make a stretch of color - ombre. Single thin locks are painted in the lightest color.
Double caret
This haircut differs from the classic version by the presence of a second layer. Double caret can be graduated, but not much. It often happens that a girl with long hair comes to the hairdresser, who decided to get a haircut. Since it is scary to radically change your image, the master may suggest choosing a double caret. In addition to the fact that it looks stylish, this will leave the usual length or remove it very little.
Double-shoulder technology with shoulders and bangs consists of separating the transverse parting through the entire occipital area. The upper part is trimmed as an extension or classic. You can make a round caret - this is a shape resembling a ball. The thicker the hair, the more options the master will offer. For weak and thin strands, a bean is suitable. The second layer is cut like a classic or slightly extending the strands to the face.
The classic double caret looks beautiful, in which the difference in the length of the layers does not exceed two to three centimeters. The rim shows two straight, strictly horizontal cut lines. This option is suitable for men.
Bob haircut
The edging of this haircut is similar to the classic version. The first two lower rows in the schemes of these hairstyles are the same. But the differences go further: if in the classic version, advancing to the crown zone, the fabric is sheared with a small transition, then the bean is made with a slight shortening of the length with each row. Moreover, the strands are pulled at an angle to form a beautiful curved line on the back of the head. It is called "bean." A square below the shoulders with a bang, the photo of which is presented below, is made with lengthening of the front strands to the face.
It was decided to choose a bangs so that it harmonizes with the general appearance of the hairstyle. Perform such strands according to the principle of slicing, evenly removing the volume to the tips. This technique is also popular in giving texture to thick hair, which in this case does not create excess volume and themselves fit into the hairstyle. To do this, apply mousse or gel of weak fixation.
The bob line can be raised in different ways and have a variable length. The most beautiful option is the one in which the neck is open and a smooth rounded line is drawn to the entire occipital zone. Such a haircut significantly raises the hair and forms a beautiful head shape.
But there may be another option, when the two or three lower layers on the back of the head create a border that reaches the seventh cervical vertebra. The line bob rises to the middle of the lower zone and passes through the occipital tubercles. This is done for older ladies who do not want to open their necks.
Asymmetric square
This variety has gained great popularity. One side of this haircut is shorter than the other. The oblique line can affect only the marginal zone, but can also go to the occipital part. On thin hair, such a haircut model will visually add volume. She is chosen by many actresses - in particular, Reese Witherspoon. In the photo - a square to the shoulders without bangs (in the parietal zone, its role is played by the central strand cut on the oblique).
An asymmetry is performed with respect to the radial parting across the entire head. They start from the lower layer of the occipital region and form a degree of asymmetry, which goes to the sides. On the one hand, a haircut is created along the control strand formed behind the ear. Perform a direct edging. On the other hand, a bob with elongation.
In this version, slanting or torn bangs, a large texture and creative coloring look very good. Often the occipital zone is formed in the style of a bob, making graduation on the back of the head. In this case, the oblique edging is saved.
What difference in the length of the sides to choose - the master decides. He can better see how the haircut looks from behind, whether too rare strands will turn out at a certain length. Sometimes a rather bold decision can be made for owners of weak hair: a short caret on one side and a long end on the other. They wear such a hairstyle, making a low parting on the more trimmed side. Then the hair seems thick.
Bob grunge
This year, slightly tangled curls are in fashion, which are knocked out of the common line. This hairstyle cannot be called sleek, where the hair is matched to the hair. A light disheveled, graceful mess on the head, as if a breeze blew and a little patted styling - that's what grunge is. Since the frayed bangs look extremely messy, it is better to choose models without it. But with a great desire, you can make a haircut to the shoulders with a bang, made by slicing and having an oblique cut.
But for this to really look stylish, you need to have an appropriate base. It is best to choose a bean. It is easy to supplement with an organic texture, milling strands. Some masters prefer to do this with a hairdressing blade.
This style is a salvation for girls with thin and sparse hair, as it significantly increases the volume. In the photo - a square to the shoulders without a bang. However, the hairstyle has volume. After washing your hair, stylists advise applying a drop of oil to your hair, which will give them silky and shiny, and also protect them from brittleness. Then the strands are twisted into bundles and dried with a hairdryer, after which the hair is simply shaken with hands.
Asymmetry is a frequent companion of this style. Those who love variety will be happy to try this caret option. For busy women, like mommies with babies, grunge bob will become a stylish, simple haircut. With it you can forget about the beams on the back of the head.
Which bang to choose
When designing a hairstyle, a bang often acts as an independent element. Therefore, it has many varieties. For a square below the shoulders - bangs with a thinning, for a bob haircut - oblique, for the grunge style - ragged. Part of the thick hair in the forehead visually reduces the face, makes it round. This is not scary for those with the right facial features and tall stature. But for miniature girls it is better to choose a light straight bang or its oblique version. The first, very young, she is loved by elegant ladies of respectful age.
The square type of face requires a straight classic bang, the ends of which are slightly tucked inward. This will soften the shape and give them an expression of softness and femininity. Such girls are suitable haircut with lengthening strands in the face.
But sometimes it’s still better to abandon the bangs, because a small forehead and thick hair will not allow her to keep in shape: she will climb into her eyes. A short cropped front of the hair will need constant care. It is better to choose its oblique variety and make a low part. Notice how the square below the shoulders without a bang looks in the photo of Gwyneth Paltrow. She always wears this hairstyle, and if she highlights the front part of the strands, she removes them under her hair sideways.
