Trendy asymmetric haircuts

The fashion for asymmetric haircuts confidently moves from season to season with leaps and bounds. This is easily explained by the fact that asymmetry suits almost all young ladies, regardless of their age, face shape and clothing style. In our article we will consider the features, advantages and disadvantages of asymmetric haircuts, “walk” through the most fashionable trends, tell you how to choose the right haircut and how to care for it.

Women's haircuts with asymmetry have a number of features.

• They are versatile. It doesn't matter if you are young or have already reached an elegant age, thin, medium build or "puffy", whether you prefer a sporty style of clothing or a strict office style - you can easily choose a stylish asymmetrical haircut that will not only not look out of place, but will add to the image " zest "and will emphasize the dignity of the face.
• This kind of haircuts can be perform on any hair: straight, wavy, curly and even very curly. They give a visual volume to thin and rare curls, too thick ones can be "pacified" by thinning.
• Asymmetry is easy to lay, because, as a rule, the very technology of this haircut assumes that the hair will "lie" in a certain direction. Everyday styling can be turned into a festive one in 10-15 minutes by simply structuring it a little with a curling iron, iron or styling product.
• Asymmetrical haircuts more than all the rest, suitable for coloring experiments. There is a lot of room for imagination here: highlighting, coloring, bronding, ombre, balayazh, shatush - you can list the possibilities for a long time.The tendency of the last season is to dye two or three strands in bright "acidic" colors.

Take a close look at his portfolio - there should be similar works.

Of course, asymmetrical haircuts have both advantages and disadvantages. Which of the following will outweigh and ultimately affect your choice - it's up to you. So the pros.

• A properly selected type of haircut can visually rejuvenate the owner and emphasize the strengths of her face.
• If your hair is "tired" of constant styling with thermo stylers, if its ends split due to dryness, an asymmetric haircut can correct this. For thinned curls, she will give additional volume, tame naughty strands and facilitate the daily ritual of decorating hair into a hairstyle.
• Haircuts of this kind become even more interesting when dyed. But even this is not the end of it. Each time, updating the hairstyle of the master, you can add new details to it, or, conversely, get rid of the annoying ones. Here's a good example: a shaved temple. At first, you decided to just shave off your hair on one side of your head, next time you asked the master to discolor the shaved part and 2 strands in the bangs. Next, you wanted to make the lightened parts pink. And finally, they asked to shave the ornament on your temple. See how many options came out! And you can update them monthly.
• An asymmetric haircut emphasizes the facial features, highlighting the zygomatic part. With the help of such a hairstyle, you can bring any face, even the most irregular shape, closer to the ideal. You just need to choose the right length and appearance of the haircut.
• Contrary to popular belief, an asymmetrical hairstyle can be designed not only on short and medium hair, but also on curls of any length. And those who do not want to carry out radical experiments with their appearance, but want to add a "zest" to the image, can be content with an asymmetrically trimmed bang-strand.
• Some of these haircuts do not require any styling other than blow-drying with a brush and a drop of hairspray.

Now let's look at the cons of such hairstyles.

• A visit to the hairdresser should be your monthly duty. Otherwise, the haircut will lose its shape and look sloppy.
• Any interesting hairstyle draws attention to the face and hair. That is why your hair should always be clean and shiny, now it will not be possible to hide curls of not the first freshness with the help of a ponytail.
• If suddenly you want to grow your hair to a uniform length, it will not be so easy to do and you will have to go through a not very pleasant period of "sloppy" head or cut your entire head of hair so that the curls become approximately the same.

There are a great many types of asymmetric haircuts, besides, a professional creative hairdresser-stylist can come up with and offer you some kind of personal "trick". However, any, even the most unusual hairstyle is based on one of the basic haircuts that will be given below. We used a graduation along the length of the hair, so that it would be more convenient for you to familiarize yourself with their list and choose something for yourself.

The advantage of the girls who chose asymmetry for short curls is that experiments with a small length of hair involve its frequent renewal, and even if some detail does not come to your liking, it can be easily removed the next time you visit the master.

So, basic haircuts for short hair.

• Pixie... A mischievous, deliberately careless hairstyle with torn strands is very beloved by many young ladies.One of those haircuts that does not require styling: you just need to wash your hair, dry it with a hairdryer and tousle it with your fingers slightly dampened in the styling product. Pixie looks great with highlighted or tinted strands - it creates the illusion of sun glare in the hair.
• Aurora... It differs from the previous version in a shortened crown and elongated strands framing the face. In its asymmetrical version, a torn bang-strand is often cut to one side.
• Bean... The most common type of asymmetry for short hair lengths. Suitable for any face shape, enhancing its strengths and masking imperfections. With this type of haircut, the strands are graduated, the bangs are cut obliquely.
• Square... As a basis for an asymmetrically trimmed square, you can take any of its varieties: classic, "on a leg", for lengthening. When staining, it is better to limit yourself to one shade, preferably from a dark range.

The average length is considered universal for any experiments related to both coloring and styling a haircut. The following are considered basic hairstyles for asymmetry.

• Elongated bob. From one side it can reach the shoulder, from the other it can be shorter by 10-12 centimeters. A smooth transition is done along the back of the head. Such a bob is cut in the parting, and he will have to remain unchanged throughout the entire time of wearing the hairstyle. The bangs can be flat, beveled, or absent altogether. This haircut option looks great on curly curls, as well as on straight ones. Single color is recommended.

• "Under the page". This hairstyle is difficult to imagine asymmetrical, because it resembles a beanie, and one side of it should be a mirror image of the other. However, stylists came up with a special technique for cutting the strands, in which they lie in a circle, but asymmetrically. For this unusual hairstyle, a thick head of hair is desirable.

• She-wolf... Another very interesting haircut worthy of your attention. It got its name for some resemblance to a wolf's mane: heterogeneous strands - "feathers" are cut along the entire length of the hair and frame the face in a cascade. By the way, the she-wolf cascade differs from the haircut in that the curls are cut stepwise in the back of the head, and the contour locks around the face are made shorter. The she-wolf is one of those hairstyles that require virtually no styling and fit any face shape.

And finally, consider the options for asymmetric haircuts for curls, whose length falls below the shoulder line. Basic varieties are also available here.

• Ladder... Classics of the genre. It is her that is most often cut by young ladies who do not want to part with the main length, but who dream of updating their hairstyle, making it more "lively". Variations of the "ladder" are different: for example, with "torn" strands, you can design only the face, without touching the back of the head, or cut the hair layer by layer, graduating it. Asymmetric "ladder" is the best choice for chubby girls who want to visually "remove" cheeks and highlight cheekbones.
• "Rhapsody". Another favorite option for long-haired ladies. In the crown of the head, strands are sheared, superimposing layer by layer one on top of the other. Thus, the haircut becomes voluminous. To give an even greater effect, it is recommended to paint the "rhapsody" in several tones, creating the illusion of burnt-out strands.
• Shaved temple. I must say that this is a rather bold decision for a young lady whose hair length exceeds average, because if such a haircut suddenly gets bored, it will not be easy to grow long curls again. But the hairstyle looks gorgeous. A shaved temple suggests the possibility of experimenting with coloring in this part of the head, as well as shaving the pattern with a trimmer or typewriter.

Choosing an asymmetrical haircut is best based on the shape of the face in order to emphasize its strengths and shade the weak.

Here's what top stylists recommend.

• Face in the shape of a square with a wide bottom part, it can be transformed and visually narrowed using a long bangs-strand, trimmed along the side. Also, any haircuts with "torn" heterogeneous strands and a voluminous back of the head are recommended. It is also advisable to paint in several tones.
• Face in the shape of a triangle with an elongated chin, a haircut for a medium length of hair, for example, an asymmetrical bob, will greatly adorn.
• Oval shape considered ideal, so absolutely any hairstyle will go to such a face. You can "play" with the length of the hair, and with the structure of the haircut, and with the presence / absence of bangs.
• Chubby girls should focus on the visual narrowing of the face, on emphasizing the zygomatic arches and the chin area. Therefore, your choice is a square for lengthening with an oblique bangs or a "torn" bob.
• Face in the shape of a rectangle, in fact, it looks like a square, only it is more elongated. It is important for its owners to “remove” the excessive “heaviness” of the chin and make it more graceful. Choose haircuts that are voluminous in the temporal and crown areas, covering the sides of the head. The length should not be short, it is best to choose a medium length. If you also want to cut your bangs, choose its asymmetrical version.

We would like to present to your attention the technology of performing asymmetric haircuts a la "cascade" for medium hair length step by step. So let's get started.

• The parietal and temporal zones are separated from the occipital by separating them with a parting that runs horizontally. Further, the hair on the back of the head is cut to the shoulders in a straight line, after which it is divided into vertical partings and graduated, and it is necessary to dramatically increase the length of the upper strands of the occipital region.
• Now we make a parting that runs parallel to the hairline of the front of the head. We will get a strand from which we will need to form the edging of the face. We cut off the bangs (if desired) and smoothly transfer it to the temporal region, making locks - "feathers", moving to the ears.
• Divide the hair into 2 parts with a side parting in order to create asymmetry. Remember that you leave most of the hair on the side you want to keep long. Cutting the curls from the "short" side, shape them by hand, without using a comb, focusing on the longest strand at the back of the head.
• Cut from the crown to the front.
• The final and, probably, the most difficult part is the design of the larger part of the hair. Cut your hair using the lock-to-lock technique.

Caring for an asymmetric haircut consists in its periodic renewal, as well as maintaining the cleanliness of the hair. Well, and, of course, in its correct styling. Most of these hairstyles do not need any special styling - you just need to wash your hair, sprinkle it with a liquid to add volume and dry it with a hairdryer, pulling the strands with a brush, lifting them at the roots. It will take you 15 minutes to form such a styling.
