Asymmetric bob: types, tips for selection and styling

Asymmetrical bob is today one of the most popular haircuts among visitors to beauty salons of any age. All models of the square are able to emphasize the grace and beauty of the cheekbones and neck, as well as hide small flaws in appearance. Daring, purposeful, romantic, tender, beautiful and beloved - this is what a man can say about a woman with a square.

The history of the square begins from the time of Ancient Egypt and originates from the divine Cleopatra. This woman was idolized by both kings and mere mortals. And in the Middle Ages, for such a haircut, a woman could be burned at the stake of the Inquisition, since the church of those times refused to cut women in this way. For some time, the square was in fashion among men. And over the past century, in the heyday of feminism, this hairstyle has become a kind of standard of female self-sufficiency.

Bob - a haircut of medium length. The technique for performing this hairstyle was initially quite simple: the hair was cut slightly below the ears, and the bangs were also cut evenly, but already along the line of the eyebrows. This hairstyle was very easy to style and did not require much maintenance.

A hairstyle with character - this definition of this haircut was no coincidence. There are many types of squares, but they are all very individual and capable of creating a unique image.

An asymmetrical square is a variation of the usual one, but asymmetry implies a difference in sides. Unlike symmetry, the hair on one side will be slightly longer than on the other. Due to this, the impression of a double haircut is created and several spectacular facial features of the owner are emphasized at once.

Building such a hairstyle begins at the back of the head, where the hair length is kept to a minimum. As you move towards the bangs, the length of the curls is constantly increasing. Often, stylists pretty much fillet the front curls and temples to achieve a cascade effect.

An extension bob is a traditional cascade of hair, but the length will vary in this variety. The back strands of hair will end below the ears, along the jawline, while keeping the neck open, but the front curls may fall to the shoulders. In the case of asymmetry, one of the sides is formed this way, while the length of the back strands should not be too long. An open back of the head can create frankness, while hidden ears and neck leave some kind of mystery. This hairstyle can rightfully be called a masterpiece, as it has an aftertaste of mystery and tenderness.

This hairstyle is very similar to the traditional square with lengthening. The difference between these two varieties lies only in the fact that the bangs in the oblique version will have a pronounced asymmetry.

This haircut is performed in such a way that the side strands of hair smoothly and contrastingly pass from the back of the head to the bangs. It is generally accepted that it is in this type of square that the curls on the back of the head are practically shaved. The stylist can also point the ends of the hair. Pointing is a method of cutting hair with pointed ends. The length of the bangs in this type of haircut can look either symmetrical in relation to the front curls, or asymmetrically - the choice of one or another option usually depends on the professionalism of the stylist or hairdresser.

In the traditional design, it is customary to make a square with an evenly cut bangs, which should be located about 2 cm above the eyebrows. This approach gives a special charm to the cut of the eyes, and the open neck creates a kind of relaxedness. In combination with the right makeup, this bob will provide the Cleopatra effect, while not a single male look will remain indifferent.

It is not customary to wear the traditional type of square without bangs, since its absence is recommended in variants of an elongated square, when the front strands smoothly turn into the side ones. It is also possible to create an asymmetrical bob, in which the first strand of hair is milled or dyed in a variety of colors. This creates an asymmetry effect.

For some ladies, this type of haircut is a symbol of the relaxed and freedom-loving nature. This type of square has several varieties. Building a haircut begins in the same way as a square in a traditional version.

A haircut is performed on wet hair, but it is worth noting that water should not drain from the ends of the hair. The entire area of ​​the haircut is divided into four segments, while horizontal and vertical stripes are divided from the middle of the head. They start cutting from the back of the head, timely wetting the hair with a spray gun.

The construction of a haircut is based on the fact that the hair of the vertical stripes of the bangs and the nape had about the same level, while the vertical side curls line up to the ends of the hair in decreasing, thus forming the effect of a leg. This type of square is recognized as the most frank, since it immediately opens both the neck and the back of the head of the owner of the hairstyle.For this reason, not all women afford such a luxurious option.

Also, this type of square is universal - it is perfect for work, and for spending time at home, and for sports activities. And if you add a little varnish to this hairstyle and create the look of disheveledness, then it is very easy to create the image of a rebel and a hooligan.

This is a kind of traditional bob and cascade haircut. The main advantage of a graduated square is the ability to control the length of the curls, which allows stylists to work more freely with the contours of the face and its shape. The construction of the haircut is done in such a way that the effect of teeth is created. This type of hairstyle is very versatile as it suits most types of hair and facial contours.
