There are quite a few variations in the performance of the bob, a lot depends on the original hair length and the presence / absence of bangs: long bob and French bob, with a short and elongated nape, with torn and sharper ends, grunge hairstyle and many others.

This variety can be confused with a square, because the cutting lines are smooth, and there is volume at the top. But there is a difference that makes the bob stand out - the bottom slice is not executed directly. At the back, the hair is shortened, at the face it is lengthened. This option perfectly visually increases the volume of the strands, therefore it is recommended for owners of thinning hair. The bangs are capable of giving expressiveness to the image. As for the length, in the classics it is the edge of the face.

This option will perfectly cope with the task of visual rejuvenation - you will definitely be guaranteed a few years in the red.

This is a haircut in layers that go through the entire volume of the strands. It is carried out using the graduation method and perfectly increases the amount of hair visually.

Separately, you can distinguish the varieties of the bob in the shape of the bangs.

A bob can be either short or elongated, in any case, soft, long bangs will very effectively refresh the hairstyle. The variation of the bangs depends on the shape of the face.

The bangs on one side, cut diagonally, look amazing in combination with any variation of the bob. It can be short, it can be elongated along one side of the face.

Graduated ragged bangs greatly decorate the face, give it impudence and youth. This shape looks especially good with an asymmetrical type of haircut with ragged ends.

Despite the fact that the classics are always at the forefront of fashion, stylists try to offer new canonical haircuts every season. In the current and future years, the most popular are short bob variations and elongated models. Sports styling, naturalness, slight negligence, comfort are very relevant. If you want to be trendy, go for graduated and asymmetrical hairstyles.

A fashionable bob in the current season looks like this: strands shortened at the back, elongated at the face, straight or in curls, with a long or oblique bang, correcting facial imperfections. The main thing is accuracy of execution, correct styling and competent selection of the length and shape of the bangs according to the type of face.

The choice of a haircut should first of all be focused on the main task - to emphasize the dignity of the face and strands and hide the flaws. In addition, a haircut should harmoniously complement the overall image, fit the chosen style, and fit into the lifestyle.

If nature has not rewarded you with a very thick head of hair, this is not a reason to look bad. Moreover, a successful haircut will perfectly correct this shortcoming. Here are some stylists' recommendations for choosing a bob shape for different types of strands:

• straight voluminous hair will be perfect in all haircuts;

• if curls curl, pay attention to the design of the back of the head, there should be no sticking out elastic curls, ideally, straighten with keratin;

• remember, the shorter the curls, the more they curl;

• if the strands are obedient in styling, soft, then use the layering method to create a bob shortened at the back of the head with long bangs;

• it is best to raise thin strands at the roots, and cut the back of the head as short as possible;

• any bean styling on straight strands is ideal;

• you can add density and volume by thinning and thinning the ends of the spans, especially if they are painted in the form of overflowing shades.

The short version focuses on the back of the head, makes it possible to experiment with the design of the side strands and bangs. By the way, it may not be there if the short bob is asymmetrical. The effect of a shortened modification will give a chaotic way of styling the ends of the hair. If the oval of the face is proportional, the forehead is not low, you can lay the strands smoothly.

A short bob with elongated bangs looks very unusual and bright, especially if the ends are structured and the haircut is asymmetrical.

In general, a shortened bob almost does not give its mistresses a hassle in their daily styling, this is one of the most comfortable options. In fact, you will have to style the back of your head and bangs so that your hairstyle looks neat.

The elongated bean requires original, high-quality strands, thick, healthy. Otherwise, the effect will be the opposite. Shoulder-length strands look good in curls, with root volume. If we talk about the latest trends, then the cardinal asymmetry, the strict edge are definitely favorites in the elongated version of the bob. If your hair is curly or you like to twist your curls, a medium to long bob is the best solution. The cropped back of the head is easy to curl, the soft curls at the face are very adorable and feminine.

The bean's versatile qualities are definitely the reason for its popularity. After all, you can pick it up for any type of face.

• Oval. By itself, this type is the most successful for experiments, almost everything suits him, since the oval is a proportional shape. But if there is a need to correct a high forehead, be sure to cover it with a falling diagonal or straight bangs. If the oval is close to the circle, lift the top of your head.

• Circle. The best choice can be called a bob-square, in which the elongated strands in front effectively frame the face and hide the excessive roundness of the cheeks or pronounced cheekbones. The lush back of the head will perfectly stretch the face, but here it is important to stay within the framework and not create too voluminous a hat on the head. All options for elongated bangs, cut asymmetrically, to one side, will be good. Short bangs should be avoided.

• Square and rectangle. Softness is needed here to brighten up sharp corners. An elongated diagonal bob is a great solution for this type. Oblique or rounded bangs on the sides, graduated ends, volume on the crown (for a square type) will perfectly fit into the image. A good option is strands cut by a ladder at the face and a bob in the form of asymmetry.

A very important nuance of any haircut - it should not add age visually, and at the same time be appropriate to the status, so be sure to proceed from your age category before cutting your hair.

Young ladies are allowed more experimentation with length, sharp asymmetry.For women in adulthood, almost all variations of the bean are suitable without undue provocative decoration. It should be remembered that a short bob perfectly allows you to lose age, but at the same time flaunts a fuzzy oval of the face, stoop. Also, keep in mind that sleek styling options draw attention to the face and flaunt any imperfections. Ideally, mature ladies should prefer classic modifications, bob-bob, long-bob.

Performing such a haircut requires certain professional skills, so you cannot do it yourself. The bob technique includes the following algorithm:

• the strands are divided zonally and fixed - the parietal part is parted in two, the occipital part is also parted through the occipital cones, the anterior and parietal zones also bifurcate;
• the lower part is cut off by shading, moving to the top of the nape and shearing with graduation;
• the temporal parts are cut along a certain length in an even method;
• then the strands are carefully combed, defects are removed;
• then bangs are formed, after drying and styling.

There are a lot of styling variations - from the simplest to spectacular evening, smooth and voluminous. For styling, use a hairdryer, a brush, irons and stylers, styling products. At home, you can lay a bob:

• with a straight parting, a gel with a smoothing effect is strictly applied, the strands are straightened with an iron;

• side parting and asymmetry - the strands are washed, dried, foam is applied, then divided into two parts and dried;

• curls are especially good for a medium and long bob, it is enough to wind the strands on curlers of the required diameter, then sprinkle with fixing varnish;

• if the situation requires collecting the strands, collect them in a bun on the low back of the head and secure with hairpins;

• retro-styling is created using gel and clips in the form of a light wave;

• bob back - effective styling for an evening look, work on wet strands with foam, then lay the back of the head, pin the front strands with clips and dry, sprinkle with varnish.
