Asymmetrical haircuts for short hair

A few seasons ago, asymmetric haircuts came into fashion and to this day they remain one of the TOP trends in the beauty industry that are not giving up their positions. Asymmetry in hair is the choice of those women who are bored with monotonous images. Such ladies love to attract the attention of others and always stand out from the crowd.

An asymmetric haircut for short curls was invented by the world famous English stylist Vidal Sassun. Since then, the haircut has undergone some changes; today there are a large number of its interesting and stylish varieties. Asymmetry can be formed both as part of a haircut (for example, beveled bangs, elongated strands, styling on one side), and as part of the entire bow as a whole. A similar haircut can be found both on the street and on the catwalks; it is chosen by both very young girls and ladies of an elegant age. The secret of popularity lies in the versatility of such a hairstyle, the simplicity of styling and the freedom for the owner's self-expression.

Asymmetry is often done for medium and long hair, but it is most popular for short strands.

Asymmetrical hairstyles have many advantages over classic short hairstyles:

• successfully solve the problem of split ends;
• give the hair a healthy, strong and neat look;
• visually add volume and splendor to the strands, even when the hair is thin and weakened;
• if the hair is too thick, then with the help of thinning they can be given the necessary shape, facilitate combing and styling;
• optimal for mature women, hide the onset of age-related changes and shift attention from the face to the strands;
• allow you to successfully hide all the flaws in appearance, soften angular features;
• look harmonious with and without bangs.
• Among the rather conventional shortcomings, they note:
• a slight decrease in the degree of femininity;
• restriction of styling options - such hair cannot be collected in a ponytail, twisted a bun or braided;
• if you want to change the haircut, you have to wait quite a long time until the mop grows back;
• asymmetry on short strands as it grows becomes noticeable almost immediately, therefore it needs frequent correction.

An asymmetric hairstyle does not have clear rules, since asymmetry can be performed in any way - individual strands or bangs are lengthened, the temples rise, and the volume is fixed on one side. That is why hairstyles look harmonious on ladies with any type of appearance. Everyone can choose the option of asymmetry that will suit her. But there are a number of contraindications that will become an obstacle to such a design of the shock.

• Inflamed facial skin - any asymmetric haircut focuses on the face, therefore all flaws are immediately visible here: vascular mesh, acne, age spots, scars and inflammations. The same applies to the condition of the teeth, as well as the color of the tooth enamel. In any of the above cases, you must first perform all the medical and hygienic procedures and only after the situation improves, contact the hairdresser.
• Excessive thinness - in combination with asymmetric strands on the head, a thin female figure is strongly associated with a teenage boy and often this leads to problems in his personal life. However, this disadvantage is rather relative.
• Overweight - increased body weight can also be a reason to refuse an asymmetric haircut. Too short hair in this case visually out of proportion. So, the head begins to seem too small in comparison with the shoulders and chest, which only aggravates the situation.
• Floated contour - the smooth flow of the chin into the neck from nature, as well as changes in the oval of the face due to the onset of the aging process, allow asymmetry only with long hair, on shortened all these shortcomings, on the contrary, attract unnecessary attention and worsen the perception of a woman's appearance in general.
• Long nose, massive jaw and elongated face are considered a contraindication for ultra-short hairstyles - in this such strands should be at least 2 centimeters longer than the chin line.

This season, the following are among the most stylish options for asymmetry for short hair.

This is one of the most requested haircut modifications, which can be done in several versions. Let's say the hair can remain longer on one side, or the strands are cut with layers on top of each other. Such hairstyles look spectacular on hair of absolutely any structure - both straight and curly.

The haircut was first introduced back in the 60s. of the past century, but today it is again at the top of popularity, and in a rather extravagant and unusual interpretation. Today, in the TOP, hair styling on the sides and in the back of the head in different lengths or the design of the wrong geometry all over the head. Bright accents in such a hairstyle are achieved due to shaved temples - these styles are good for the fair sex with high cheekbones and an elongated face.

This option evokes persistent associations with Audrey Hepburn, who embodies all the best ideas about a naughty, playful and incredibly sexy woman. In this version, the ears and neck remain completely open, but the strands on the crown and back of the head are made elongated, due to this, even the thinnest curls seem more voluminous.

This is a stylish hairstyle that involves lengthening on one side. The style is very popular among many stellar fashionistas - at various times this hairstyle was preferred by Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence. Another version of the hairstyle design is no less in demand, when the strands near the face are made shorter than the strands on the back of the head - this style visually rejuvenates a woman, makes her fresher and more toned.

All kinds of asymmetrical hairstyles in combination with a fairly short hair length are quite in demand. Usually, in this case, an elongated asymmetrical bang is formed - this option has not gone out of fashion for many years and is considered one of the simplest and most effective methods to change your appearance. Even if the haircut is complemented by shaving of the temples, the look remains feminine and quite harmonious.

Otherwise, this hairstyle is called "tomboy", which perfectly matches the look that is created with the help of such a hairstyle. The haircut is done on the basis of a bob, while neatly trimmed strands of different lengths look like they are scattered over the head. Tomboy looks great on faces of absolutely any shape, suitable for both thick and thin hair. The undoubted advantage of a haircut is the ease of styling - all that is needed is simply to grease the strands with wax and ruffle it with your hands, creating a slight mess, and then dry it with a hairdryer.

Owners of curly hair can also form asymmetry on their hair, but it is better to avoid short bangs here if possible. Of course, in this case, it will not be possible to achieve clear graphic lines, but unevenly distributed curls are fraught with their own special charm.

Asymmetry, as a rule, is selected taking into account the shape of the face. For round ones, the options "front-back" are chosen, in this version the front curls remain elongated, reaching the maximum line - for example, to the middle of the neck, and the back of the head is cut much shorter. Here, the option of a beveled bang is possible - in both cases, the face visually stretches and becomes oval.

For owners of a triangular shape, it is important to soften the sharp features and level the existing imbalance. In this case, you should not get too carried away with the elongated strands around the face and cut too thick, even bangs, the shaved back of the head will not serve the best service. Here, soft, slightly noticeable asymmetry will be optimal - for example, bangs combed to one side and uneven graduation.

The oval type of face is considered to be ideal, in terms of proportions, therefore women with this type of appearance can decide on any beauty experiments. Here, an ultra-short hairstyle, unevenly trimmed side strands, a shaved temple in combination with a shock of hair on the opposite side are allowed.

It is very important for ladies with square faces to make a haircut that would mask the excessive weight and massiveness of the chin, its angularity, therefore, preference should be given to asymmetries with profiled curls and the most smoothed transitions. Sharp lines and straight cuts are best avoided. Keep in mind that it is better for such women to do haircuts that reach the chin so that the curls frame the cheekbones - this will visually round the lower zone. Ultra-short options are inappropriate here.

The choice of hairstyle is largely due to the characteristics of the hair. So, for thick curls, special attention should be paid to thinning, since heavy hair requires additional volume - only in this case the hairstyle becomes aesthetic and there is a feeling of lightness on the head.

For thin hair, asymmetric short strands can be a real salvation - these hairs look faded, give almost no volume, while they are highly electrified and hardly grow back. Any asymmetric haircuts here should imply layering, it is better to give preference to a hat - in this case, the strands will look voluminous and lush.

This is a good option for those ladies who do not want to lose volume in their hair - it is better for them to combine asymmetrical bangs with a bob or bob, however, in combination with a cascade, such options also look quite attractive. Keep in mind that for owners of wavy hair, such haircuts are not used, since they will require daily styling using irons and other thermal straighteners.

A diagonal functional bang is considered the best solution for heavy, dense curls, completely devoid of any lightness and dynamism, in addition, it will suit thin rare strands. Such a haircut is usually combined with multitonal coloring, due to which the illusion of splendor on the head develops. Styling this bang does not require any special tools - it is easy to do with your hands.

An asymmetrical haircut is best cut in a beauty salon from a professional master; with insufficient experience, it is very easy to cross the line that separates the fashion trend from untidiness. In its simplest form, creating an asymmetrical hairstyle for short strands includes several main stages.

1. A straight edging is formed along the lower part of the occipital region, and the occipital part is cut exactly along the vertical parting, preferably with graduation, so that the length of the strand in the upper part of the occiput increases, and very sharply.
2. Next, a parting is formed, which runs parallel to the direction of growth of the curls - this allows you to select a thin strand and then carefully edging it. Thus, the shortened bangs smoothly flow into the temples of the desired length.
3. The head is divided into 2 areas of different sizes; for this, a parting is made as close as possible to the temple that is planned to be shortened.
4. The haircut is done from the crown of the head towards the forehead; by the bangs, one cannot focus on the total length of the strands. When carrying out a haircut, it is imperative to do the edging of the temporal zone, by the way, you should not be guided by it either.
5. At the last stage, a large area is sheared, usually using the "lock by lock" technique.

A shortened asymmetric haircut has many advantages - it rejuvenates a woman, makes her look more effective and attractive. In addition, such haircuts do not need a long and laborious styling - you just need to wash your hair and tousle your hair slightly, and then style it with styling products.But there is one subtlety: as soon as the hair grows back, even quite a bit, the hairstyle should be corrected, otherwise the image will be hopelessly ruined.

Having decided on asymmetry in the hair, a woman takes on a number of obligations to care for her strands. Any styling without fail requires fixing agents - mousses, foams or wax. Often they use brushing or, if a graduated asymmetry is formed on the head, an iron.
