Bob-caret: varieties of hairstyles
The bob-bob haircut was a kind of revolution in the world of hairdressing. After all, she replaced hairstyles with long hair. Maybe that's why the former experiment took root and, one might say, even became a classic. Even now, when new items are rapidly gaining momentum and fading out just as quickly, this haircut does not lose ground. And in the last couple of years, it has become a hit at all.
Who is it for?
It is believed that a bob-bob haircut is universal and suits absolutely everyone. This is not entirely true as it can vary in length, with or without bangs. And each of these details can both decorate and hide dignity.
- If you are the owner of a slender neck, you must definitely open it, and not only in the front, but also in the back. And dense side strands will help to hide not quite standard ears.
- For ladies with an oval face, any option is suitable. The square face can be stretched just below the chin. The same goes for chubby girls. Straight side strands will help hide your cheeks.
- A straight parting goes only to owners of ideal face proportions. Otherwise, it is better to displace it and make it broken. In this case, you can slightly shade the side of the face that you consider less advantageous.
- The volume on the back of the head will reduce the large features of the face. Smooth, even strands can stretch them slightly.
- The original bangs, although distracting, will create shadows in the eye area, which will add several years. If you want to look young, go for lighter options.
The notion of whether a hairstyle goes well or not is subjective. Self-confident people present the features of their appearance as a manifestation of individuality.
Varieties
The same type of hairstyle quickly becomes boring.In addition, women of fashion strive to show their individuality - it is quite possible to do this with the help of a hairstyle. So, the classic bob-bob has options - with bangs, shortened, elongated, with graduation, asymmetry. Therefore, you can choose what is closer to your taste. In these subspecies, you can see the borrowed features of other haircuts - this kind of synthesis gave its positive results. Some options in the common people have different names, but they have the same basis. Let's take a closer look at them.
Classic version
The version that appeared at the end of the first quarter of the last century is considered to be a classic. Its characteristic features are:
- symmetry - the parting is straight and it is desirable that it be located in the center or closer to it;
- severity of forms - the lower cut is quite dense along the entire circumference;
- no bangs or only strict options;
- length varies slightly - from the earlobe to the chin or slightly below.
This haircut differs from the usual square in its shape. In an ordinary square, it has a rather square shape. And the peculiarity of our version is in semicircular outlines. This is accomplished by curling the back of the hair. Bob-caret perfectly softens any facial features, smooths out angularities.
This option will seem boring for a modern woman. But for that time, even he was a real breakthrough. There were few masters who did such haircuts, and there were huge queues for them. But today the haircut has many fans. It is the classical performance that conservatives love for its simplicity and brevity. You can make a strict hairstyle live with the help of coloring.
By the way, it is believed that hair just above the shoulders is young. Maybe that's why the classic bob is so fond of older women. At the moment, it can be called a "no age" haircut, since it is the choice of girls and women of completely different ages.
Elongated
The desire to stand out led to the fact that the angle between the occipital and front strands began to increase. Such a haircut in the front and back looks like two different ones, connected into one. The length of the hair in the back remains practically unchanged, as in the classic version, but in the front, it can fall below the shoulders, to the collarbones. The cutting line is still straight. An elongated bob has many positive qualities.
- This is an option for those who can hardly imagine their hair short, but do not want to be out of fashion. A bob with a lengthened front can be a test case on the way to a more dramatic haircut - it's so easy to change. And it will be easier to grow hair from this level.
- Laying can be more difficult due to its length. This, of course, will take more time, but the result will delight you.
- Due to the length, the possibilities for complex staining also expand.
- This hairstyle will be more practical. The classic square has one serious drawback - it is simply impossible to collect facial hair in a ponytail. The elongated version solves this problem.
This hairstyle suits women striving for diversity. This is what a modern dynamic lifestyle requires, where you need to change your image in an instant.
"On a leg"
Another version of the classic bob-bob haircut, in which the changes affected not the front, but the back of the head. Its essence lies in the complex graduation at the back of the head. Thanks to this technique, volume is created, and the neck opens even more. As a result, we get an analogy with a volumetric "cap" on a thin base - a "leg". Initially, the difference between them was very sharp. Subsequently, stylists began to make a smoother (sometimes even semicircular) cut. A kind of cascade can appear from the side. Only the front strands remain straight.
Beveled or torn bangs will help to complement the image. This option works well with lengthening.
At the moment, it is difficult to determine the standard of this version of the bean, since each master puts his own vision into it. In addition, a lot depends on the styling. A girl who chooses such an extravagant hairstyle can look bold or cute. You can achieve the desired effect with the help of simple adjustments, styling products, a comb of the desired shape and a hair dryer. In addition to variability, this subspecies has other advantages:
- the ability to profitably submit any type of person;
- cascades, graduations and oblique cuts look boring and will be noticeable in any situation;
- hair looks voluminous, even if its type and structure do not have it.
For a haircut "on a leg" to really suit you, the master must be a professional with a sense of taste and great experience.
A short
A short bob is the most practical, but at the same time feminine option. In it, the front and back strands may practically not differ in length, or the difference between them may be small. A small cut in the back will give your hair a rounder, softer look. The cut line in this version can be thin, with sharp strands. This is a great option for women with straight hair, on which any styling does not hold well. To add variety, it is imperative to work out the bangs - after all, it can be of the same length as the side parts.
Nowadays, the super short bob has become insanely popular. It can be seen on both women and men. A unisex haircut is good because it suits everyone - regardless of age, gender and situation. Moreover, even the style of clothing is completely unimportant here. Combined with new accessories, the hairstyle will still look stylish.
The shorter the hair, the more noticeable all changes are on them, even the simplest ones like loss of volume. Be prepared for frequent length adjustments - even an extra half a centimeter will change a short square not for the better. The regrown roots will also be more visible. In general, a short bob looks neat even without additional styling manipulations.
Asymmetric option
And since we got to the change of length not only at the back, be sure to pay attention to the asymmetrical bob. Perhaps this is the most unusual option, the secret of which is simple - it lies in the combination of strands of different lengths. For example, if you are in doubt about the length, select two options and place one on the left and one on the right. Of course, this explanation is somewhat exaggerated. The difference between the length of the front strands on each side of the head can be subtle or more pronounced. At the same time, great importance is attached to the design of the cut from the back:
- it can be smooth and oblique;
- an alternative to a straight cut is a multi-stage one.
It is not uncommon for a bob-bob in its pure form to be present only on one side, while on the other, we can see a cascade or a completely shaved temple. This haircut was also adopted in men's salons. Its main advantage lies in the complete transformation of the face. Looking at such a complex creation, any flaws will go unnoticed. Moreover, the shape of the face is completely unimportant with her. You just say your wishes to the stylist and you get a completely unique version.
With a bang
Do not forget about the bangs, because its appearance makes a woman's haircut complete. To begin with, it should be said that a bob-square can be without it at all. This is exactly what the original version was. Now it is believed that thick bangs without thinning are ideal for the classic version. It is better if it is straight, in more rare cases, a beveled one is welcomed - so that it can be tucked behind the ear.
For the leg version, you can use more informal types of bangs. Straight, oblique or curly bangs should be graduated, with a layering effect. The lighter the bangs look, the better they will fit into the hairstyle concept.
Asymmetry prefers all kinds of beveled bangs.And there are, indeed, many of them - the cut angle of such a bang can vary from small to extreme. It can be wide or narrow. Often there are bangs on two sides or combined - straight up to half, after which the bevel begins.
Laying methods
In order for the look to be fashionable and harmonious, all its details must be consistent. That is why the same haircut can be styled in different ways. Of course, it is better to contact a trusted master who knows your preferences, has already worked with hair more than once and knows all its features. But if necessary, you can do the styling yourself. For an elegant look, you need a carefully designed hairstyle (called hair-to-hair). To achieve this effect, special styling products are required to give the hair smoothness and shine, and be sure to fix the result at the end. Tips bent inward are considered a classic option.
Do not forget about the bangs, they also need to be slightly twisted.
You don't need to rush to create a voluminous look. Divide the entire mass of hair in layers, pin with clips. Starting at the bottom, each strand should be lifted with a comb and hair dryer. Pay special attention to the tips. To create a playful mess, hair can be randomly dried. And then disassemble it with your hands or with the help of a rare comb. And then select individual strands on the side and on the face using a modeling tool.
The bangs can be applied both to the face and from the face. Curly or wavy hair is not a contraindication for a bob-bob haircut. Moreover, this particular styling option can be chosen for a special occasion. To make the waves look natural, they are formed through one: from the face, then - to the face and again - from the face. And for short hair, this beautiful styling is quite possible - in this case, the waves can be formed by hand.
Advice
A bob-bob hairstyle will be useful in several situations at once.
- If you need to hide an unsuccessful haircut or coloring.
- For hair improvement. If their condition is close to critical, professionals advise changing their hairstyle to a shorter one. Thus, nutrients will be distributed more efficiently. The tips are most often damaged - and can be removed. In addition, after the next haircut, the hair will grow back faster.
- If your hair is naturally dense and lacks volume. The shorter version will be lighter and the volume will appear.
- In case you want to change your image, but there is no definite solution. Parting with the length is not so easy. Especially when in doubt. You can choose the classic version of the bob. And if the result does not scare you, choose a more challenging option later.
- Often, a hairstyle of this length is resorted to if it is required by a professional activity or an active lifestyle. It is believed that the square does not require much attention and time.
If the last statement is exactly your case, keep in mind that it is the styling that is done quite quickly. But care for hair that cannot be tucked into a bun or ponytail requires more thorough care. If the hair is dirty, it will be visible, and no amount of styling will help. It is especially difficult to monitor the condition of the styling after it has been under the hat. For it to be truly persistent, you need quality tools and experience.
