Garcon haircut design options for short hair
Most modern women lead an active lifestyle. They need to solve a large number of tasks during the day, and there is not much time left to take care of themselves. In this case, a short haircut can help out, which does not need to be styled for a long time. One of the most popular hairstyles of this type is the "garcon". It differs not only in functionality, but also in excellent compatibility with various bows.
What it is?
The "garcon" hairstyle for short hair can be called not just bold, but even daring. This haircut looks best on miniature slender girls. With its help, you can create not only a youthful perky image, but also add notes of mystery and sexuality to the bow.
"Garson" suits both business women and carefree young girls.
This haircut for women has a fairly large volume at the top of the nape. This effect is achieved by graduating the strands, which are stacked one on top of the other in a strictly defined order. In this case, the hair on the back of the head and temples is cut so that it fits snugly to the head. This effect can be achieved with thinning.
The hairstyle, despite the short hair length, has many options. This makes it possible to apply it for different types of face and at any age. An experienced hairdresser can choose the right type of haircut that will hide flaws and emphasize the dignity of the face.
Views
Despite the fact that the hairstyle can be corrected depending on the type of appearance, there are only three main types of it. Distinguish "garcon":
- ultra-short;
- classical;
- elongated.
The ultra-short "garcon" most justifies its name, since the length of the strands of this hairstyle does not exceed 5 cm. We can say that this is a haircut "for a boy". This type is distinguished by the accuracy of the lines. In front, it is formed with a small bang in the shape of an arc. However, the haircut grows back quickly and requires frequent correction. At the same time, styling is not necessary, you just need to comb your hair after washing. This option is perfect for girls with high cheekbones and expressive eyes. The hairstyle emphasizes all the advantages of such an appearance.
The classic type of haircut combines short length with smooth lines. Such a "garcon" needs thinning of the hair on the sides and in the back of the head. The haircut looks austere, elegant and bold.
The elongated "garcon" is suitable for girls who cannot decide on radical changes, but want to make a short haircut. When performing this hairstyle, the ends of the hair are not cut short, but are left elongated. At the same time, they are given a torn or slightly uneven shape.
Most often, this haircut of any kind is done with bangs. But the elongated "garcon" looks especially good with this element.
At the same time, it is possible to often change the image by changing the shape of the bangs. Also, bangs are perfect for masking small imperfections in appearance. She, for example, can slightly correct the shape of her face.
Who is it suitable for?
This haircut can be worn by girls with different looks, however, there is one small "but" - those who have full forms, such a hairstyle is even more plump. In this case, it is better not to consider it as a possible option for changing the image. The same applies to large facial features, too protruding ears and a short neck.
And thin ladies will be able to hide some flaws in appearance with the help of a garcon haircut. So, the owners of a thin elongated oval face with angular cheekbones or a chin can use it to demonstrate their appearance from the advantageous side.
If the shape of the face is square, then when creating a hairstyle, special attention must be paid to the shape of the bangs.
Girls with a round face should remember about the elements that will help to stretch the face. This can be either additional volume on the crown or an elongated oblique bangs. The owners of an oval face are much more fortunate, for whom almost all types of haircuts are suitable. These beauties can try "Garson" in any modifications.
A good hairstyle option will also be for those who have naturally received high cheekbones, a long neck and regular facial features. A haircut can favorably emphasize all the advantages of the appearance of such girls.
But there are also differences in the shape of the hair. If they are naturally straight or slightly curly, then the garcon will look good in any variation. But for the owners of strongly curly curls, it is better not to experiment with such a hairstyle, because the hair will not lie the way the haircut style requires.
Bangs Models
Bangs are often used in a garcon haircut, so you need to be aware of all the possible options. So, when creating this short haircut, the bangs can be:
- asymmetric;
- elongated;
- combed to one side;
- oblique;
- straight;
- short.
Asymmetrical bangs will help create an image of a bold, even daring girl. It is suitable for all three types of garcon. Such a bang will perfectly fit not only into a casual bow, but also into an evening look.
Long bangs can hide age-related changes such as forehead wrinkles. It can be combined with any type of haircut. Most often, the length of such a bang reaches the bridge of the nose.
Side swept bangs look softer and more romantic. Therefore, with its help, you can get the image of an interesting intellectual or sexual seductress. This shape will perfectly emphasize the soft nature of the girl.
Oblique bangs not only look great, but also help to draw out the round oval of the face. It can help balance asymmetrical features.Most often it is used in combination with an elongated "garcon".
Straight bangs are the traditional option. Looks great with a business bow, as it gives it austerity and elegance. This element is optimal for a classic haircut.
Short bangs are only suitable for short hairstyles. She looks like a petite lady with small features that make her more expressive.
Haircut technique
In order for the "garcon" haircut to fit easily after washing, it is important to understand all the intricacies of the technique of its implementation. So, before cutting your hair, you need to wash it thoroughly and dry it to a slightly damp state.
After that, you need to divide them into the following zones:
- parietal;
- temporal;
- occipital.
In this case, each zone is stabbed separately. The haircut should be started directly with the hair on the back of the head. Here the hair is divided again, vertically, into equal halves. Then the control strand is selected. It is cut to the desired length, along which the remaining strands are further leveled.
The back of the head is cut to the same length as the control strand, but with an increase in the angle of inclination of the curls to the crown. This will add volume to your hair. The hair in the middle of the crown is pulled at an angle of 90 degrees. After that, the angle decreases again to about 35 degrees.
Then you can start working in the temporal zone. A control strand is also needed here, which is cut at a right angle. The remaining curls are cut along it using a graduation. And finally, you can go to the parietal zone. In this case, the length of the strands is guided by the length of the last temporal strand.
The final step is cutting the bangs. Then the hair is milled in the area of the bangs, temples and the back of the head. This is the final touch to the garcon hairstyle.
Styling
The type of hair styling with a garcon haircut depends on its type. With an ultra-short hairstyle, there are few styling options due to the short length of the strands. Here you can only change the direction of the hair with a foam, comb and hair dryer.
More varied styling can be performed on the classic and elongated "garcon". One of these styling is the "light negligence effect". To create it, you need to apply a little foam to the washed damp hair and give the strands a different direction when drying with a hairdryer. Additionally, the hair can be lightly tousled with your hands and sprayed with fixing varnish. However, do not get carried away with applying styling products, as this will weigh down the hair. In such cases, the hairstyle loses its appearance within a few hours.
To create a business look, you can use the "perfect smoothness" option. In the process of styling, gel and hairspray are used. This hairstyle highlights all the features of the face. Therefore, if there is a slight asymmetry of the face, it is better to avoid it.
Since retro looks are currently at the height of fashion, you can use the option with combed back strands to create them. To do this, you need to apply the gel to the hair and style it in the direction from the forehead to the back of the head.
However, it is important to remember that the "highlight" of such a hairstyle lies in the lush volume of the bangs.
For parties and clubs, rock star styling is perfect. The garcon haircut is simply created for such a design, since its main volume is located on the crown and bangs. These areas need to be raised so that the shape resembles a mohawk. This styling must be fixed with varnish.
A romantic delicate look is also available with a garcon haircut. To model it, you can simply give a slight waviness to the hair on the bangs. In addition, you can add a small accessory in the form of a hairpin with rhinestones.
Haircut "garcon" will help to make the look bold and interesting. And, if desired, change it depending on the chosen style.
