Beautiful options for a square for lengthening with bangs for an oval face shape
A square for lengthening is one of the haircuts that confidently holds a leading position in popularity and is not going to give them up. The secret is its versatility. There are a huge number of variations of this hairstyle: on a leg, elongated with both straight and asymmetrical cut, with or without bangs, on straight and curly hair.
Any female representative, if desired, will find suitable for her face type and hair structure.
And how many styling can be depicted on the head with such a haircut! Today we will talk about one of the most interesting options for a square - an elongated one with bangs.
Features of the hairstyle
When choosing an elongated bob, remember that hair length can vary. The shortest option is hair longer than the jawline, the maximum is just below the shoulders. Thus, even owners of curly hair can afford such a haircut.
In accordance with the structure of the hair and the shape of the client's face, the master decides whether the bangs will be straight or oblique (of course, in agreement with the client herself) and grades the strands in one way or another.
If your face is round, square, or trapezoidal, a cascade or ladder shape is best for you. The same length of hair will make the face a monumental and heavy "square" or will give the shape of the correct circle, and this is not at all what one would like to achieve with a haircut.
In addition, colored glare will contribute to this - it is better if the sun gets tangled in the hair, giving it an uneven shade. If, with each movement of the hair, they shimmer, glare, slightly change the tone - this will only benefit the owner.
These tips are also relevant for those girls whose hair is thin and thin. A straight cut line will only emphasize these properties, while a "ragged" length and uneven coloration will help create a "mane" effect.
And unfortunately, if the face has even the slightest trace of excess weight: cheeks, chin, oval - a straight cut line will visually add a few more kilograms to this.
The choice of the shape and length of the bangs depends, firstly, on what shape the haircut itself has, and secondly, on the height of the client's forehead, and only, thirdly, on her wishes. It is no coincidence that the client's preferences are in the last place. For example, a girl with highly curly hair wants short, straight bangs. Only the master will be able to dissuade her from this step, because she either will have to pull her bangs with an iron every day, and she, at the slightest increase in humidity, will strive to curl into curls, or walk with fluffy curls on her forehead, and the girl was unlikely to achieve such an effect from a haircut.
Women with a high forehead will go for long, thick, asymmetrical (and straight) bangs, but for those with low foreheads, it is advisable to make bangs airy and short. Uneven and not too thick bangs will give significantly more styling opportunities.
Young ladies who are far from the classics can experiment with both length and color. - make a multi-layered haircut. Rebels in the shower, forced to comply with the office dress code, are suitable for dyeing in a bright color of the lower layer of hair (the so-called latent dyeing), which is visible when the hair is collected. Thus, the classic shade is preserved on top.
Varieties
Consider different options for lengthening the square with bangs.
Straight cut
The "progenitor" of this haircut was the classic "bob". What the hairstyle looks like is clear from the name. The cut line is straight, the haircut tends to the classic square, and therefore requires ideal proportions of the face. If the last condition is not met or if you want a straight cut, but you do not want to look boring, the strands near the face or throughout the haircut can be graduated. This will add extra volume to your hairstyle.
In a square for lengthening, the hair on the back of the head is always shorter than the strands near the face. Variations of the same length transition are mass. The cut can be straight, angular, and the angle is admissible as a few degrees, or rather large - then the difference in length between the back of the head and the face will be ten or more centimeters.
A few years ago, Victoria Beckham introduced sharp angles in an elongated square into fashion., when the strands of the face are longer, and the cut of the hair is even, but at the same time goes at an angle. This variation still looks fresh, but anyone who wishes to repeat it on their hair should remember that any sharp angle in the hairstyle, especially near the face, requires a textured face without traces of excess weight. Sharp lines will only emphasize the roundness of the face. For young ladies with soft and feminine features, snub-nosed or upturned noses, it is better to stop at profiled, graduated strands near the face, then a straight cut can be left on the back of the head.
If the face is very round or square with a heavy jaw, it is better to stop at the length of the hair near the face a few millimeters below the chin - this will soften the features and stretch the face a little.
The same goes for the bangs. Straight thick is categorically contraindicated for chubby girls, but an arched short bang can completely transform them.
Graded
In this version of the haircut, different combinations are possible, for example: a square with a cascade, a square with a ladder, even a cascade and a ladder in one hairstyle. Graduation can be either weakly expressed - to give dynamics and volume, and strong - to correct facial features.
Oblique bangs are best for this type of haircut. Firstly, it gives a lot of styling options, and secondly, it suits almost every type of face.
Asymmetrical
Such a trend as asymmetry in relation to an elongated bob appeared relatively recently.This type of haircut assumes the presence of strands of uneven length. At the same time, there is no smooth transition of lines. Often, the haircut is made asymmetrical, and the bangs are straight with a perfectly even cut. Arched bangs (both long and short) or oblique bangs look good.
Only this version of the bob allows the occipital strands to be longer than the facial strands. Often, it is an asymmetrical haircut that is combined with bright color accents in the hair.
How can you lay it down?
There are a great many ways in which you can lay a square for lengthening. Variations depend on both the type of haircut and the structure of the hair.
All types of styling can be divided into several groups.
- Classic: everything is simple here, the styling is straight, the ends of the hair are laid with a round brush inside. This also includes hairstyles with pinning of part of the hair with invisible hairpins or hairpins.
- Natural styling. These variations give the appearance of naturally dried and styled hair, without pretense and order.
- Romantic - these are all kinds of options for waves, curls and curls of any shape and size. These hairstyles are often decorated with flowers, headbands, or pretty hairpins.
- Modern festive styling often involves beautiful weaving, a combination of curls and braids in one hairstyle.
- Extraordinary hairstyles are, for example, a mohawk, which currently does not necessarily require an insane pile, you just need to correctly braid a braid of the appropriate shape.
