First of all, let's define a bob haircut. The word itself is interpreted in translation from French as a square (carré) - with a classic square, the cut is performed exactly along one line. The optimal length is considered to be slightly short of the shoulder line.

The Egyptians, led by their legendary queen Cleopatra, are considered the discoverers of the square. In those days, almost everyone wore such a haircut, regardless of gender, class and wealth. Pharaohs even ordered wigs with this form of haircut - it was the optimal addition to the attributes of power, which adorned themselves with representatives of the then elite.

The square came to Europe much later. At first he was chosen by men, but for a very long time society did not allow women to wear short haircuts. However, in the 20th century, the century of emancipation made both sexes equal in rights, and women gradually began to win from men not only wardrobe items, but also short haircuts.

Today this haircut is very popular all over the world. It can be performed on absolutely any hair - thick or thin, curly or straight, light or dark. A haircut will decorate the head of not only a young girl, but also suit her mother and even grandmother. Fashion designers from different countries are vying with each other to offer a variety of ways to style the square.

Varieties of haircuts

There are several ways to cut a bob.

  • On long hairwhen the length should be at shoulder level or slightly below. In this case, the lower cut has a graphic line. Initially, the styling did not imply the presence of bangs, but over time, the hairstyle has undergone some changes and was adorned with some additions.It looks most advantageous on smooth hair with a healthy shine. Suitable for all face types.
  • Average length. The haircut ends at a height above the shoulders - approximately at the level of the chin. Styling for straight hair looks very elegant and aristocratic. In addition, this length leaves room for experimentation.
  • Front hair extension, that is, the front strands leave slightly more than the back of the head. In this case, the length can increase smoothly or stepwise. Long strands framing the oval of the face visually stretch it, so this type of square is best suited for chubby young ladies. But those who cannot boast of a long neck, on the contrary, should refrain from this option.

The owners of an expressive forehead are recommended to wear bangs.

  • Asymmetrical square - when the strands near the face have different lengths. Just as in the previous case, the length can change smoothly or abruptly. Sometimes the difference can be radical - down to a shaved temple. Due to such a haircut, the appearance changes dramatically, so this option is for those who are not afraid to be in the spotlight.

Asymmetry is recommended primarily for women with harsh features and bright hair color. Elongation can be emphasized with oblique bangs and uneven parting.

  • Curly hair... The square looks great not only on straight hair, but also on wavy curls. However, the curls should be soft and fall freely. This hairstyle gives the image lightness and romance, which is typical primarily for blondes and light-eyed brown-haired women. For small curls, it is better to choose a different haircut.

Everyday styling

Despite the fact that the elongated bob has not gone out of fashion for many years, some women complain that this haircut is too boring and ordinary, that wearing the same silhouette every day is boring, and you don’t go to a stylist every day ... Today's beauty industry offers a huge variety of tools for quickly turn a square with lengthening into a festive option... Moreover, you can do this at home with your own hands, without resorting to the help of a master.

Most simple styling option for a long bob - apply a styler to damp and wrung out hair with a towel and dry it with a hair dryer. A round comb can add root volume to your hairstyle, and you can create perfectly straight curls with an iron with a straight nozzle. The ends of the hair can be twisted inward - then you get a classic styling for an office dress code, or, conversely, you can lift them up - and a simple bob haircut turns into a perky youth styling.

Evening hairstyles

To style your long hair with a bob cut into a festive hairstyle at home, you can experiment with the front strands, stretching them out with an iron or curling them with a curling ironcreating beautiful romantic waves. And you can also simply collect them in a tail or a tourniquet and fix them with hairpins or hairpins, and release a few careless strands near your face.

A medium-length bob haircut is easy to care for, and if you wish, you can radically change the image without changing the length itself. So, changing the attachment in the hair straightener from straight to corrugated, you can give your hairstyle a fundamentally new look. If you want extra volume, brush lightly near the hair roots with a bobbin comb.

However, one should observe the measure - excessively high bouffants are not in fashion today, they have become more accurate and elegant.

For an asymmetrical haircut, you can use curlers of various sizes, creating light movable curls. The technology for styling a short square is also not very complicated.To style short strands quickly for a special occasion, apply modeling wax to the ends, comb and shape them into strands with your fingers and blow dry.

For clarity, we will consider several simple technologies for performing the styling of a square, which can be done by hand at home.

  • Laying with harnesses... Divide the hair into several strands, twist each of them, wrap it in balls and fix it with small hairpins-crabs. This naughty hairstyle is perfect for school, for the beach, for a youth party.
  • Volumetric high beam. This is perhaps the easiest and fastest way to lay a medium bob. The hair is collected in a ponytail, twisted into a bundle and fixed with the ends up.

You can decorate with hairpins with decor or decorative hairpins.

  • "Waterfall"... To perform this simple, but very effective styling, you will need a comb-brush, hairpins or a thin invisible elastic band and a rare comb to separate the strands. Take a small section of hair near the face and start weaving a regular braid, gradually adding strands on top.

In this case, after weaving, we leave the upper strand at the bottom, hanging freely, add a new strand on top. Thus, we weave the entire braid, moving from one side of the head to the other. When all the strands are woven, you can continue the braid with a regular spikelet, or leave the tail free and secure with an elastic band or hair clip.

Loose strands can be curled slightly with tongs to achieve greater effect.

  • Curls gathered back... This Greek style hairstyle is perfect for any occasion - be it a friendly party, a formal reception or a romantic date. Styling should begin with a strand near the forehead. Add a strand to it near the temple and twist them together.

From below we add one strand at a time, alternately weaving them together, not forgetting to fix each weave with hairpins or invisible hairpins. The result should be a horseshoe-shaped roller. You can decorate the resulting hairstyle with artificial flowers, a thin headband or a satin ribbon.

This option for styling an elongated square assumes a certain amount of negligence, so we spin the roller slightly, and slightly knocked out strands will only add charm to the hairstyle.

Hairdresser tips

  • To understand is the haircut done correctly, it is necessary to carefully comb the hair, and connect two control strands together from different sides. The point of contact of the strands will be located at the level of the seventh cervical vertebra. Focusing on the control strand, we create the length of the entire occipital zone: lower, then upper, then move on to the temples. To obtain lengthening near the face, the first strand of hair is trimmed concave inward. Further edging is performed in a circle, equal to this strand.
  • Some women choose to cut their bangs on their own. To give the bangs the correct shape, it is necessary to separate the strands from the parietal zone and temples.... To make the bangs thicker, form a triangle from the crown to the frontal zone. To increase hair volume, the bangs are trimmed in an upright position.
  • To cut a bob at home for someone, you do not need to be an extra-class master for this. The technology for performing this haircut is simple. Cutting should be done on freshly washed and towel-dried hair. Before work, apply the balm along the entire length of the hair and comb it thoroughly.

The first and most important rule, on the observance of which the result depends - correctly divide the strands into zones. The hair should be pulled back in a bun so that it covers the ears, and tied with an elastic band around the middle of the neck.To neatly cut off the tail, the cut should be done just below the level of the elastic. And slices should be done in layerswithout trying to cut the entire length with one wave of scissors. When the required length is reached, the elastic is removed and the cut level is leveled.

  • If you decide on a home haircut, remember that more often than not one haircut method is not enough. Several different technologies are often used. For example, if you need to add volume to the back of the head, you can cut off not all hair, but only on the crown. They are collected in a bundle around the circumference and graduated with vertical retraction.

The cut should be done at a distance of about 7-10 cm from the head. If you have not yet gotten your hands on the haircuts, and the cut is imperfectly even, you can correct the situation by milling. Scissors are set horizontally along the hairline and make small cuts of 2-3 mm. This should be done along the entire cutting line.
