Haircut "Aurora": features, subtleties of selection and styling
Women's haircut "Aurora" has long been one of the most popular hairstyles for women of any age. It suits both very young girls and ladies over 50. The image that is created with the help of the "Aurora" is distinguished by romanticism and sophistication, while the haircut skillfully emphasizes all the advantages of appearance and hides its flaws.
Peculiarities
For the first time this hairstyle was presented in the 80s of the last century in Italy, which is considered the birthplace of this trend, which is why many people to this day call the haircut "Italian". The main feature of the "Aurora" is its versatile performance, such a haircut can be done even by a master with little experience. The technology here is extremely simple - shortened strands are cut off at the crown, and the length of the rest of the hair remains unchanged. In conclusion, the curls are milled a little - and the "Aurora" is ready.
In its classic version, popular in the USSR in the 90s, the haircut was a little extravagant by today's standards, but today more and more girls prefer it due to the ease of the created look and the simplicity of styling. It is very easy to maintain such a haircut in the desired shape, and, if necessary, "re-cut" into any other, no less spectacular. The Italian woman is performed in several versions - for long, medium and short hair, however, stylists note that shortened hairstyles do not look so advantageous.
With a short "aurora" stylists recommend concentrating on the crown area, it should be given additional volume. This will visually lengthen the face and make the overall look softer due to the roundness of the haircut as a whole. Short styles are performed in different versions, these can be:
- cascading feathers from the occipital region;
- if you wish, you can put on a few strands on the cheekbones, then the face becomes more "thoroughbred";
- on the sides, stepping is often made - such options are especially good for long faces;
- torn ends are ideal for girls who want to be different and stand out from the crowd.
"Aurora" for medium hair makes the style more feminine, the most popular modifications of this haircut are:
- ladder below the chin;
- asymmetrical bangs;
- oblique torn bangs to one side;
- pronounced structuring combined with cropped bangs.
Long options are now less multifaceted, most often they are made in a classic version, but modern girls prefer to add such elements to a haircut as:
- pronounced cap on the top of the head;
- curls decorated with a cascade;
- torn contours and graduations;
- feathers on the crown;
- perfectly smooth tips.
Many people often confuse "aurora" and "cascade". And in fact, at first glance, haircuts are similar to each other and represent a smooth transition between short strands at the top of the head to long ones at the back of the head and in the area of the temples. However, in the "Aurora" the crown is more luxuriant than in the Cascade, the transitions between the layers are much sharper, and the tips are necessarily milled (in the cascade, they are usually left thick).
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any other haircut, "Aurora" has its own advantages and disadvantages. The benefits of a haircut include:
- simplicity of execution - the technology is elementary, therefore, in order to obtain a beautifully designed head of hair, it is not necessary to turn to the services of a master;
- versatility - the haircut is suitable for women with any type of hair and facial contours, it is harmonious for ladies of any age and style;

Despite the fact that the haircut is universal, you can still highlight some features of the appearance, in which it is better to pay attention to other styles. So, a haircut will not look very stylish on:
- too curly strands;
- soft and fluffy strands;

"Aurora" allows you to get rid of damaged strands without losing length and volume, thus, a haircut is very effective in cases when a girl wants to grow healthy hair. When creating a hairstyle, usually the only task for the master hairdressers is to visually add volume to the shock of hair and make it fit as magnificently as possible - while the look is very delicate and romantic.
If a girl does not have thick hair, this is not a reason to be upset; by combining strands of several lengths, you can always achieve the required volume.
"Aurora" is often done on thick hair, however, young ladies with such a shock should be as careful as possible with haircuts of this type, since the hairstyle involves the creation of additional volume, and thick strands are lush by themselves.

If the shape of the face is round, then it should be softened with slightly milled bangs. With such a face, it is better to give preference to elongated haircut modifications, which allows you to narrow and stretch the face, as well as visually make too simple features more refined. As a result, the oval is stretched due to the design of torn strands in the chin area.
Owners of triangular faces can afford beauty experiments with the choice of the type of bangs, while it is important to monitor how the strands lie near the cheekbones and in the chin area - if there are defects in this place, the "Aurora" masterfully hides them. And for square faces, torn ends are recommended along the entire length of the hairstyle. Such solutions perfectly neutralize all angular shapes, reduce the severity of the cheekbones and cheeks.
For an oval face, an "aurora" is suitable in any performance, a haircut is performed for hair of different lengths, it hides the asymmetry and disproportionality of features, adds tenderness. Bangs can be different depending on the personal preference of the woman. Oval facial features are reference, so you can try absolutely any bows.
For women over 50, when pronounced age-related changes are visible on their face (floating oval, flews, sagging chin), it is better to give preference to short versions of the "Aurora". Such haircuts visually tighten the contour, and also give the ladies of this elegant age a special charm and nobility.

Beautiful examples
A characteristic feature of the very first haircuts "Aurora" was a rather short length, as well as volume - at the top of the head, the strands fit very luxuriantly and smoothly transition to lengthening downward. The bangs were an indispensable attribute of the hairstyle.
However, not all girls liked this option, so the length gradually increased. Today, the main trend is precisely the elongated versions of the "Aurora". This image effectively emphasizes the lady's style and shows her individuality and impeccable taste.
Remains at the peak of popularity "Aurora", made for medium hair - in this case, the curls reach approximately shoulder level, the crown is made in the form of a hat, from which a smooth transition downward begins.
In this version, bangs of any modification are allowed. The hair in the front is usually shorter than the rest.
Models with bangs look very impressive, while the "Aurora" allows you to cut bangs of various types - straight, arched and oblique, their length completely depends on the woman's preferences and features of her appearance. For example, for women with a rounded face, it is better to choose milled oblique bangs, they make the face more harmonious, but girls with elongated ovals need to give preference to straight options up to the eyebrow line.
In general, the bangs make the "Aurora" more sophisticated and truly flawless.
This does not mean at all that "aurora" without bangs simplifies the face. Far from it if a woman has medium-length hair, then such options are allowed, especially for oval faces - in that case, it is better to comb the bangs to one side.
"Aurora" is rarely done on curly hair, but still, if the owner of such hair wants, then everything is in her hands. True, in this case you should be ready for constant and laborious haircut styling, but the result will delight the owner of wavy hair - light waves give the image a bit of Italian sophistication and French charm.
"Aurora" with feathers is an avant-garde option, in this case, in the nape of the head, a few curls are left longer than the rest of the hair, as a rule, they are additionally highlighted in contrasting colors.
The hat is another interesting fashionable version of the "Aurora", here the hair on the crown of the head takes the shape of a beanie, the strands are not milled or graduated - the length is left the same, and in the back of the head the curls are cut using a cascade technique. This is a rather extravagant bow.
