This article will try to dispel myths and answer all your questions so that you can safely go for experiments.

Short haircuts are radical for many, but very effective option. In any case, some questions need to be carefully considered before making a decision.

1. How willing are you to change the style and cut your hair short. Sometimes a person can make impulsive decisions, for example, according to their mood. This does not always end badly, but in the case of short hair, you need to be clearly aware of the correctness of the decision, since then it will take a very long time to grow their length. Therefore, if you have a similar idea, think for a couple of days and make an informed decision. If the desire did not let you go after the specified time, then you can safely go to the hairdresser.
2. Explore all possible options in detail. The art of hairdressing has advanced very far, so there are many options for transformation, more than a dozen. You can also search for prototypes on the Internet. Of course, you need to be aware that the picture there is a professional photo shoot, a lot of varnish and each curl is hand-styled. Nevertheless, photos and videos can become the basis for subsequent communication with your master, and he will better understand what you want to get as a result.
3. And the last one: find someone you trust. If you can trim the tips in any hairdressing salon, then it is too much of a risk for radical change. A hairdresser must know your hair and lifestyle and, most importantly, must act in your best interest. In this case, the technician will be able to make adjustments that will benefit you.

So, a bob hairstyle is a good image change option. But a lot depends on the quality of your hair and the shape of your face. In general, this hairstyle is divided into a straight version and oblique strands. Each of them has its own subtypes. We will analyze the second model in more detail.

The classic straight version is clear and straight contours. Hair is cut to the earlobe, sometimes bangs and parting are added. The result is a rigid outline that emphasizes the person's face. If the contours of the face are already quite clear and large, then this will make them even more expressive, and soft, on the contrary, will acquire severity. Perhaps a haircut will look better on thick hair, as it will add extra volume and splendor.

Now, starting from the classics, you can move on to unusual options.

It is a contrasting combination, where there is a short nape and long strands in front. The lengthening is cut at an angle and the neck is opened as a result. The transition can be smooth or, conversely, more abrupt. Suitable for most face types, it can even correct some nuances. The parting changes depending on your preference.

The good thing about this haircut is that different lengths offer a lot of variety in daily hairstyles. On the other hand, such work requires regular correction in the salon so that the difference in the length of the curls remains.

In this version, the main element is bangs, the length of the rest of the hair can be short or elongated. But if the bangs are in the classic hairstyle or not, or it is straight, then in this haircut it is in the form of an arc, a triangle or in a "torn" shape.

Let's start with the more popular option, the arched bangs. It is important to note that this form is not suitable for everyone. It gives the face a rounder shape, so it is perfect for a girl with a face that resembles a rectangle or triangle. And also oblique bangs will help hide the asymmetry of the face.

The size of the bangs is an individual indicator. It can either cover half of the face, or just cover the forehead a little, creating additional volume. The same goes for its length.

Regarding the rest of the hair length, the bob itself can be either short or long. And the bangs can end flush with the front strands or, conversely, differ in length.

The advantages of this option: an interesting appearance and the ability to experiment. For example, lightly wrapping only bangs, which will add playfulness to the image. On the downside, you need extra time in the morning to style your bangs. And the second point - if you have never walked with a similar hairstyle before, then it will be unusual that the hair gets into your eyes, you will need to constantly correct your hairstyle.

This is a way of cutting when the hairdresser deliberately makes an abrupt, chaotic transition from long hair to shorter ones.

This hairstyle is especially suitable for people with square or rectangular faces. It, just like the previous hairstyle, will soften the sharp edges a little.Another plus - it does not require a thorough daily styling, but only if you like a light, slightly disheveled look.

This is a very modern and interesting hairstyle. Basically, the hairdresser also works in different lengths, but unlike an elongated bob, one side can be short and the other long. This is the secret of asymmetry. This hairstyle is very popular with Hollywood stars and actually looks very impressive. The difference can be emphasized more strongly with the help of hairpins or the transition can be made as smooth as possible, although then outwardly the zest will not be so noticeable.

Like any hairstyle, a bob has its own characteristics both in the process of working as a hairdresser and in further care. In order not to be disappointed the day after the hairdressing salon, it is better to be prepared for all difficulties in advance.

• By the type of hair for a bob haircut, any curls are suitable, except for curly ones. But it all depends on the type of bean you choose. Heavy, straight hair suggests a crisper and more structured shape. The pliable and soft hair takes on a lighter shape, which will need to be styled even with your hands, twisting the ends of the strands inward. If you have wavy or curly hair, then in fact you can also make a bob. Another point is that you will not get pronounced hair borders. That is why it is not recommended to make an asymmetrical shape or bangs on such a head of hair.
• Preferred and better hair thickness... A bob on thick hair looks more impressive and easier to care for. Optimal and medium thickness. You can also make a bob on thin hair, but in order for the strands not to hang ugly and shapelessly, they need to be combed and styled regularly.
• Required hair length. As you already understood, for the initial stage it will be better if the hair is long. This will give the hairdresser more room to experiment. In general, for medium hair it is also possible to make the correct bob shape. The most problematic is short hair. If this is for a boy, then first you need to grow them. If, nevertheless, there is a small length, for example, to the shoulders or a little higher, then you can only make the classics and cut the bangs.
• Regarding care, such a haircut requires several points. First of all, this is daily styling. Few types of hair will look good right away in the morning, otherwise you will need a hairdryer and styling products, especially bangs. Also, you cannot make a ponytail or pigtail. This will probably only be available on an elongated bob. And the last thing: if you have already decided to change your image, then you need to remember that it will take time to return to long hair or use extensions.
