This style is suitable only for the most daring and creative women who are not afraid to challenge others.

An asymmetrical square in combination with shaved patterns looks really stunning, although not everyone can decide on this. The classic version of asymmetry is short front strands on one side and long strands on the other, connected by a smooth transition. This method guarantees attention grabbing. If you get tired of this style, you can always straighten your hair in one line.

A graduated haircut has a clear shape in combination with strands of different lengths. This is a rather effective multi-layered version, it makes the image more interesting, airy and sophisticated.

To implement grunge ideas in styling, you can complement the classic volumetric square with slightly whipped ends. With a bob haircut, any woman can create a new image every day, change, be different and attract the interest of men and women.

A short, and a long square is ideally combined with sufficient volume. You can achieve the desired effect using a round comb, hairdryer and styling mousses.Such styling is performed only on clean hair, slightly damp - they should be divided into several sections, secured with clamps each of them and work in turn. The main subtlety of creating a lush styling hairstyle is to raise the curls at the roots, therefore the strands are dried first from the bottom, then on the sides, and only at the final stage they process the crown. Many women dry the front strand in the opposite direction - when it falls like a light waterfall, the effect is truly stylish.

The medium bob is a very versatile option that creates the perfect foundation for a wide variety of hairstyles. One of the most fashionable trends in recent years has been bundled styling. For example, you can make a "Malvinka" bundle. Such an image will harmoniously combine with the casual style, which is so relevant this season.

The square looks especially impressive with a variety of weaves. You can braid a braid like a waterfall or a headband, or you can even collect a wreath on the base of the square. Your hairstyle will look elegant and noble anyway.

A bob is a very effective and stylish haircut that requires a rich color. To make the hairstyle look more impressive, you should choose the optimal type of coloring. Today, more natural shades are in demand, such as chocolate, blond and light brown. In previous years, women mostly dyed at home by themselves or with the help of friends, so monochromatic dyeing was the leading trend. Many people still resort to this method, although it is necessary to take into account some of the features of this technology.

• If you have naturally very dark hair, or you have already dyed it, then do not expect to get the shade that you saw on the dye package. Reacting with the pigments already present in the hair, the new dye sometimes gives completely unexpected results.

• Try to avoid drastic decisions. If you are dyeing on your own, it is better to leave experiments with a sharp change in hair color for a visit to the salon. Only a master with extensive experience will be able to achieve high-quality staining and obtain the desired shade of hair.
• When resorting to coloring at home, it is better to give up beauty experiments with a radical change of colors. To turn from a brunette to a blonde, or, conversely, preferably under the experienced guidance of a master.
• Keep in mind that any solid color will require frequent adjustments. Every 3-4 weeks it will have to be repeated, otherwise I will be striking the growing roots that make it look sloppy and untidy.

Let's take a closer look at the most popular techniques.

Balayazh is one of the most fashionable dyeing techniques in recent years, which recreates the effect of hair burnt out in the hot sun. They look especially impressive on a square, in this case, colored highlights are mixed with a natural tone and seem to shimmer in the sun. This coloring visually increases the volume on the head, while the curls shimmer with several different, but at the same time, slightly similar shades.

The main tone and color intensity on each individual strand is chosen individually, depending on the density, hair length, shape, complexion and many other factors, with the main emphasis on the ends of the hair. The advantages of balayazh include obtaining a beautiful shade, as well as the fact that the paint is not applied to all strands, so the damage to the hair is minimal. At the same time, such staining is considered rather difficult, so you should not try to repeat it yourself.

Highlighting has been popular for quite some time. It is the coloring of individual strands. In earlier years, the technique was one of the most popular ways to color hair, but today it is giving way to more advanced techniques. Now, older women mainly resort to highlighting in order to hide the gray hair that has appeared on their heads.

Ombre is perhaps one of the most effective techniques. Usually a dark to light gradient is performed. Girls who like to stand out in a crowd use brighter tones, such as fiery red, purple, lilac, or navy blue. Of course, with a short square, the transitions will not be very noticeable, but on the middle elongated version, the staining looks flawless. For owners of a short bob, it is better not to dye the hair completely, but only the necessary transitions on the top of the head.

This technique is called shatush. She has become the most requested option. There is quite a lot in common with the gradient, but the tone transitions are smoother, the tones are mainly used here natural, at the end the effect of burnt strands is created. On the shatush, the overgrown roots look almost imperceptible for quite a long time.
