On the leg
It is a kind of bob-bob and visually appears as a mushroom on a leg, hence the name. For many seasons, the model has not lost its position of high popularity among the bob-caret options. The peculiarity is that the hair on the back of the head is contrastingly short or even completely shaved. Suitable for the fair sex who are not afraid to experiment, or for those who decided to stand out and invent something new.
The main difference is the prominent toe and sharp straight lines from it to the chin. Although many believe that this cut should be smooth, the cut can be softened this way.
A square on a leg has both strengths and weaknesses.
The first are:
- suits any appearance;
- increased hair volume;
- ease of installation;
- a haircut rejuvenates, it can be recommended to everyone who wants to throw off a couple of years without resorting to risky beauty injections;
- provides expressiveness to the lady, due to the maximum openness of the neck and face.
The second is considered:
- constant care;
- regularly need to keep fit;
- to complete it, a professional master is needed who will correctly select the shape of the haircut based on the oval of the face and the structure of the hair.
The model is very much loved by stylists, as it gives complete freedom of creativity and skill, with each season new variations of the square on the leg appear.
- With lengthening. It differs from the classics in that the front curls are lengthened.
- Shortened. They choose real "informal persons", since the back of the head is removed as high as possible.
- Graduated. Suitable for those who need extra volume for their hair. It will look very extravagant when combined with trendy coloring.
- Asymmetric model is that the hair is longer on one side than on the other.
Graded
A similar type of haircut is obtained by the fact that the hair is collected in vertical stripes and cut with straight and obtuse corners, thus, at the end of the work, the hair looks like a cascade, one strand is obtained at a distance of 1 or 2 mm from the other. Creates additional volume for fine and oily hair.
Owners of split ends or damaged curls will not work, as it will emphasize all the shortcomings.
And for thick hair, not all models are good either. For them, an alternative option would be a multi-layer model.
When creating a graduated square with lengthening, great attention should be paid to the bangs, since if you choose it incorrectly, you can spoil the impression of the whole image:
- for a round and square face, oblique variations are suitable;
- for an oval shape, bangs of any length and density will be good.
How to choose?
As mentioned earlier, the model is as diverse as possible and suits everyone. But there are several nuances to consider:
- hair structure;
- the appearance of a woman.
Those choosing such a hairstyle should have medium-sized hair in terms of density, and it is good if they are a little frizzy.
When forming it, you do not need to make even edges. It is good if there are many curls of different lengths, the irregular volume of which can be emphasized by highlighting. Thinner hair looks good with oblique bangs, or they need to be lifted from the roots and combed when styling, securing with varnish.
Curly long curls require very long styling, which can be time-consuming, so a bob square can solve this issue.
- Thanks to the graduation, the strands look casual and are the hit of the season for long hair.
- For a thick curly head, a straight square will be ideal. And if you add foam or wax, then the styling will look more neat.
- This type has difficulties with the choice of bangs. It is recommended to straighten it, then you get a trendy effect of the ratio of curly and straight textures.
Woman's appearance
To determine which type of square is suitable for the owner of the head of hair, it is necessary to examine its appearance and draw certain conclusions:
- oval and facial features;
- neck contour;
- the weight.
A haircut with bangs bent inward softens the angle of the triangular type. It's good when the girl has a thick mane, and the length must be chosen below the chin.
The graded look framing the round face well. At the same time, a cascade of hair of different lengths passes from the crown of the head to thin strands at the bottom, thereby evens out the roundness, making its shape visually elongated.
The heavy square shape is smoothed out by an elongated square. It is better not to do a short length here. An uneven cut of the bangs with a side parting will add showiness here.
For oval faces, all types are suitable, depending on what goal the lady sets when choosing:
- if you need an accent on the lips, then the bob square should be elongated;
- make expressive eyes - a short torn bangs will do;
- for ideal facial features, you can choose any desired length;
- an overly elongated face will hide an even top cut.
Deficiencies or flaws in appearance can be corrected and played up in many ways, you just need to deliberately decide which ones.
- The wide face is lengthened with elongated strands curled inward. In the same way, too prominent cheekbones are hidden.
- You can soften large features with asymmetry, torn bangs and straight, strict lines.
- For a sharp nose or chin, gentle flowing lines of curls are suitable. This combination and softness balance the sharp edges.
- For girls with small features, a model with a leg would be an ideal solution.
- A very long neck can be leveled with a length that does not reach the shoulders.
- A high, ugly forehead can be hidden under the torn parts of the profiled bangs.
The bob-bob shape requires an open neck, therefore, if a lady has an ugly shape or a very short neck, it is better not to have a haircut. The same applies to those who are overweight; a thick fold on the neck must be hidden as much as possible.
