Execution scheme
Like any haircut, "American" consists of several stages: preparatory, basic, final.
- In order to perform a women's haircut for medium hair, it is necessary to thoroughly comb and moisturize the hair at the preparatory stage. They can be rinsed or sprayed with a spray.
- The main stage begins with a thorough combing of damp hair and creating an even parting. It is necessary for the design of the voluminous crown. Then a strand is highlighted in the middle of the parting and cut to a length approximately to the chin. After that, a strand 5-6 cm wide on the right or left side is thrown to the other side and cut to the desired length. The same manipulations are done with the rest of the strands near the parting. It is important to remember that the curls are constantly thrown to the opposite side and then cut. After the volume on the crown has been created, depending on the thickness of the hair, it is thinned out using thinned scissors.
- After creating the volumetric part, the main curls should be cut to the desired length. And only after that it is necessary to proceed to the stepwise transition from the crown to the main curls. For these purposes, curls twisted into a tourniquet are cut with thinned scissors. This technique will allow you to achieve slight negligence and lightness.
- At the final stage, the hair is dried using special attachments and a change of cold and hot air from a hair dryer.

Care
This haircut is good in that it does not require long styling and grooming. You just need to properly lay them with a hairdryer. This will require a number of steps.
Dry the bangs first. And then start drying the shortest strands. One strand is selected at the crown and with the help of a round comb or nozzle, and the hair dryer is wound from top to bottom. The rest of the hair is dried with a regular nozzle or just a hairdryer.

In addition to the correct styling, you can also make a bouffant for a more solemn occasion. You will need to split damp hair into two sections. Then the strands in the area of \ u200b \ u200bthe temples and the back of the head are dried and straightened with a hair straightener. And the curls on the volumetric part are separated with a fine comb and combed. After that, they should be fixed with varnish.
At the final stage, the fleece and the main part of the hair are fastened with varnish or invisibility. For a delicate and feminine look, individual strands are moussed and curled. For a business image, on the contrary, clear and even lines are inherent. Therefore, all strands are fixed with gel or varnish.
