Half box with bangs: features and design tips
The half-box with bangs is a vivid example of a classic and very popular haircut now. It not only suits almost everyone, but is also very comfortable to wear. It is versatile and suitable both for "going out" and for everyday life and sports. It is about it and its features that we will talk about in this article.
What is it?
The semi-boxing haircut originated both in name and in its appearance from the boxing haircut.
Boxing is a short haircut worn by boxers for convenience. It was practical - the hair was shaved off near the temples and did not interfere during the battles.
But if the hairstyle rather resembles a slightly grown "hedgehog", then the half-box is done with a relatively long bangs. Despite this, the semi-box, like the box, has a clear outline.
In a half-box haircut, the back side (back of the head) and temples are cut short or even shaved off. A feature of the haircut is a smooth transition from long hair to shorter hair. In the area of the bangs and crown, the strands can reach 7 cm in length, and on the sides and near the temples they can reach 3 mm. The length of the strands can vary depending on modern fashion influences or on the innovations of the master. A half-box is that rare type of haircut that, when styled appropriately, is suitable for people of all ages.
Who is it for?
The owners of such a haircut can be both men and women.
But, since initially only boxers, who for the most part were men, wore such a hairstyle, now this haircut is also done mainly by representatives of the stronger sex. The semi-boxing emphasizes the cheekbones of a man's face, so it goes well with almost all types of male faces and complexions.
For men, it is worth noting that a semi-box with long bangs is suitable for owners of slightly curly and sparse hair. For men with straight and thick hair, a semi-box on the side with long bangs is suitable. Also, this haircut is suitable for men with a round head shape and / or a square, oval face shape.
You should not do a half-box haircut for men with an elongated and too thin face. This is due to the fact that such a haircut lengthens the face, so you should not emphasize excessive thinness with a half box. You should not make long bangs for owners of too curly hair.
As for the fair sex, then everything is the other way around, and it is best to wear such a haircut for women and girls with thin facial features and an elongated, triangular face shape. This haircut is suitable for those with high and beautiful cheekbones. Long fluffy bangs make the half-boxing look more feminine and graceful. Half-boxes with long bangs with an asymmetrical parting are also suitable for girls.
It is worth noting that half-boxing looks best on young people with a toned body, as for both girls and men.
This haircut looks best on blond hair. Moreover, the lighter the hair color, the shorter you can make a haircut on the sides.
But these are just a couple of general remarks, and in most cases everything is individual.
Design Tips
To make the semi-box look more original, it can be dyed in bright extraordinary colors in combination with the natural hair color. This design is especially suitable for girls. A striking example of the original design of the semi-box is the hairstyle of the singer Pink. For a more voluminous hairstyle, you can cut the hair at the back of the head with feathers.
If a girl has too "long" or a large forehead, then the situation can also be corrected by a half-box with a long bangs to one side. For boys and guys, for originality, they sometimes shave a pattern or even lettering with a shaving machine. Most often these are various geometric shapes or lines.
As noted above, with the help of a semi-box, you can correct an irregular or asymmetrical shape of the head. True, this will require a hairdresser who knows his job well. Nice half-box looks with a little stubble passing over the sideburns into a haircut.
Correct care
Due to the fact that this haircut is short, it does not require much maintenance in everyday life. You just need to wash your hair regularly. For girls, owners of a semi-box with long bangs, it will be necessary to put bangs after washing their hair with a hairdryer. It is not necessary to spend a lot of time on this; it will be enough to “pull out” the bangs with a hairdryer a couple of times.
It is important to know that short haircuts like this grow back quickly, so after a few weeks, you will need a little trimming with a clipper. In addition, this can be a problem for colored hair, the color of which will also need to be updated several times a month.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that such a haircut can be easily done at home on your own. To do this, you need to arm yourself with scissors, a shaving machine and have basic haircut skills in stock.
