Although fashion does not stand still, from time to time it makes a radical turn into the past. And then the long forgotten things become trends. Especially often this happens with hairstyles. For example, the hairstyle "Garcon" has not lost its relevance for more than a hundred years. This impudent, sweet and charming haircut "under the boy" adds to its owner sensuality, charm and sophistication. But how is it carried out and to whom is it suitable?
From the history
Previously, short hairstyles were worn exclusively by men, and a woman was supposed to conquer curls surrounding with waves. Everything changed in the 20s of the last century, when Victor Margherita’s novel LaGarçone was released, the main character of which wore a boyish haircut. This trend went against the traditional notions of femininity, but the audience accepted it with a bang.
Translated from French, "garzon" is "boy", so the name of the haircut here spoke for itself. Progressive French youth raised the Garcon style into a real cult. Hairstyles have become more diverse and interesting. Many girls radically changed their image, abandoning long hair in favor of a short haircut.
And for a hundred years, the hairstyle has not gone out of style. She is preferred by many celebrities. Among them are Natalie Portman, Audrey Tautou, Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Emma Watson and many others. Short hair not only does not detract from their femininity, but gives a special charm and sophistication.
Foundation basis
What is a "garson" hairstyle? The hair is cut short by lock-to-lock technique with external graduation. Due to competent thinning, the lines remain clear, but soft. The length of the hair in the lower occipital part is always minimal, and a small volume is created in the upper occipital part. In this case, the type of haircut directly determines its front, side and rear views.
pros
Before deciding to cut hair tightly, you need to think carefully and weigh the pros and cons. Here it must be said that the hairstyle hairstyle has many advantages. First of all, she emphasizes the femininity of the owner, visually younger and makes the image perky and cheerful. Garson saves styling products, allows you to quickly dry your hair and do styling in two accounts. By the way, there are also quite a few ways to beat such a haircut, and with a competent approach, the haircut receives additional volume. A haircut is suitable for any age and fits harmoniously into absolutely any look - from strict classics to frivolously romantic.
And cons
But the trouble is, simple hairstyles of this kind have a number of minuses. You will often have to go to the salon for a correction, and here is a rather complicated technique. But the most important negative point - not every girl gets a haircut. Only owners of chiseled ideal features can successfully “wear” such a haircut, but those with a short neck, bulging ears or too protruding nose will have to turn to other options.
Such a moody "garcon"!
In fact, simple hairstyles are very similar to each other and at the hairdresser you can offer a number of similar haircut options. So the haircut is often confused with pixie, page and gavrosh. But all of them are very different in shape and length. In particular, the garcon "is characterized by clear contours and rounded lines, which is why the haircut follows the shape of the head. But pixies and gavrosh do not have strict contours, but suggest strong thinning. The length of pixies and garsons is short, and the page and gavrosh can be different .
Garson haircut is capricious in its own way. Before doing it, you need to evaluate the structure of the hair. Straight hair is ideal, although slightly wavy locks look cute and very playful. One has only to recall the image of Audrey Tautou. With hair like that of an actress, it’s better not to go to extremes and give preference to a slightly elongated garrison. For girls with violent curls, such a haircut is not suitable at all, since the head will look like a dandelion. In principle, the same situation is with owners of very thick hair. When regrowing, you are tormented with styling. But for thin and liquid hair, Garson is able to add volume. If your strands are tight, then in the ultra-short version they can stick out like a hedgehog, so it's better to choose the classics.
When choosing a haircut, consider the shape of the face. Ideally, oval facial features are combined with any type of haircut. And chubby ladies should take a closer look at asymmetric options with an oblique elongated bang. It is also better for girls with a square or rectangular face shape to abandon a shortened hairstyle, but the option with a slanting bang or parting is worth considering. A long bang will hide a high forehead and smooth out the features of a triangular face, and an elongated haircut option will emphasize the cheekbones.
Types of haircuts
Although it seems that the Garson haircut for short hair does not indulge in variation, but there are several varieties of it, and therefore every woman can choose an option for her.
So, the good old classic. Here, the hair on the back of the head and temples is milled so that it gently rests on the head. As a result, the haircut looks very strict, bold and at the same time elegant.
An ultra-short haircut is a choice not only for the most daring, but also the busiest. If a woman is all at work, then she can spend a minimum of time on styling, so this is a suitable option. A minimum of hair is left on the back of the head, crown of the head and temples. All lines are clear and almost no thinning. The short curved bangs become the cherry on the cake.
Finally, an elongated haircut for short hair. This is ideal for those who are not yet ready for major changes. Short hair will be on the back of the head, and on the crown of the head and temples they are elongated.
"Bang" question
Garson with a bang is a completely different version of an already familiar hairstyle. So if your haircut suits you, but you want to update the image a bit, then just pick yourself a neat little bang or slightly change an existing one. Your choice is very rich. For example, an elongated fringe covering the forehead to the bridge of the nose is ideal for owners of a high forehead. But a short bang will complement the ultra-short haircut. True, it is not suitable for large facial features, as it makes them more noticeable. Side hook allows you to beat your hairstyle in different ways every day. This is a perky and sexy option. Straight bangs may seem too strict, so it will be ideally combined with the classic way of cutting. Oblique bangs give dynamism to the image and some lightness. In addition, she visually stretches her face and balances too large features. Also, girls with irregular facial features should pay attention to asymmetry. Such a fringe, and even with torn tips, will make the image bold and bold.
Haircut technology
Many hairstyles of the XX century remained an eternal trend, but this does not mean that with the passage of time it has become easier to master them. Despite the apparent simplicity, the "Garcon" has a sophisticated scheme and technology of haircuts. For work you will need - a thin comb, straight and thinning scissors, hairdresser clamps. Now you can begin to take action. Hair should be washed and divided into four main areas - crown, temples and nape. While there is work with one zone, the rest need to be stabbed with clamps. You always need to start with processing the back of the head. Divide the hair with a straight part in two equal parts. Cut the thin control strand to the desired length and trim. Focusing on it, process the occipital area. In this case, do not forget to change the angle of pulling the strand in relation to the head. For example, if for the first strands this angle is zero, then in the mid-neck area it will be straight. For volumetric haircuts in the upper occipital area, the angle should become sharp.
At the temples, the processing algorithm is similar - according to the control order, the others are worked out with pulling at a right angle. There should not be a sharp boundary between the temples and the back of the head, so the strands of hair in these areas need to be "adjusted" to each other.
Treat the hair on the crown, focusing on the last strand cut at the temple.
Now go to the bangs and cut it to the desired length. In conclusion, the bangs and hair on the temples and the back of the head should be slightly profiled.
Voila, a stylish hairstyle is ready!
You need to be able to stack!
But it’s not enough just to go to the salon once, then to enjoy a neat appearance. Any hairstyle involves a number of styling options, with which you can look differently at any party, meeting or romantic date. On the basis of the "Garcon", summer hairstyles for every day can be invented easily and effortlessly.
For example, on Monday, create a sloppy look. To do this, apply a ball of foam on the hair, whisk a little with your hands and blow dry with a hairdryer.
And on Tuesday, be an elegant and sexy vamp woman. To do this, apply a little gel or wax to wet hair and gently comb back. Under such a hairstyle, a trouser suit and a jacket on a naked body are ideal. Although it will be interesting to look and the image with the dress on the figure.
On Wednesday, give preference to laying for a business woman on one side. Separate the hair with a side part and blow dry. Apply wax to individual strands and pull them out slightly.
Thursday is worth a little relaxation, because the weekend is just around the corner! Make a “wave” on your hair. This is another kind of smooth styling, when the hair is combed not to the back, but to the side. Using a thin comb, you can create a wave pattern on your hair.
Choose retro waves on Friday. This styling was the most fashionable in the 20s of the last century. Use the gel again, and pinch the hair along the bottom edge with clips to form a wave. After a quarter of an hour, the clamps can be removed. By the way, such waves can also be built using a conventional curling iron.
On Saturday, learn the styling of Rocos. It is ideal for an elongated "garzon" with a bang. Separate hair with two vertical partings to highlight long locks. Apply a little gel and comb them back according to the Iroquois principle. Do not forget to fix the hairstyle with varnish.
Resurrection is a time of lazy rest. Dry your head with a hairdryer, whisk your hair with your hands, and then tie a bright ribbon. It will turn out simply, but very effectively.
Do not forget about leaving!
