Caret without bangs: varieties, tips for selection
Women's bob haircut is considered universal, since it suits many, regardless of type, face shape and hair structure. It has been known about it since the times of Ancient Egypt, but it still has not lost its relevance.
Peculiarities
In the classic version, this hairstyle is a neatly trimmed hat with a straight line of bangs that almost reach eye level. Masters consider the model to be basic, since on its basis many options have been invented not only for haircuts, but also for styling. One of them is a bob without bangs. It looks most advantageous provided that the hair is thick and straight.
Among its features, the first difference is the length. In the classic version, it reaches the level of the chin, as much as possible up to the shoulders.
It also has soft lines and smooth contours. Since the level of hair is the same throughout the head, with the exception of asymmetric and graduated models, the hairstyle serves as the basis for creating versatile styling.
The place where the parting was created is not indicated, so it is often changed. Depending on this, a straight, oblique or diagonal option is distinguished.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of a bang-free haircut is its versatility. A haircut is suitable for absolutely all female representatives, regardless of type, structure and length of curls, face shape. It can be quickly transformed from business to formal.
Simplicity of styling is also distinguished among the advantages.Even at home, using a minimum of special tools, interesting hairstyles based on a square are created.
The model gives you a choice. If there is no desire to part with the braids, then there is a way out - for example, an extended bob cascade. The specified hairstyle accepts any type of dyeing. Color helps to enhance the effect, helping to create a variety of looks, from the classic to the avant-garde.
With the right choice, a haircut focuses on positive features and hides the flaws in appearance.
The disadvantages of a square without a bang include the following factors.
- Daily care and styling. Hair looks well-groomed and beautiful only if you follow it every day, otherwise it will lose its outer shine, and the hairstyle will lose its shape.
- The use of styling products increases the cost of care. Unfortunately, one cannot do without them. Thermal protection saves from the action of electric tongs and irons, clamps fix the result, mousses and foams facilitate the styling process.
- When choosing a haircut, several factors should be taken into account, if this is not done, then you can ruin the image. For example, with a narrow oval and thin lines, such an elongated haircut cannot be used, since it narrows the already narrow contours of the face.
Varieties
The classic version without bangs has long and firmly established itself as a trend in the fashion community. It is used as is or as a base for other types of hairstyles.
Since there are many such haircuts, we will consider only some of their types.
Torn
The torn bob attracts with its ease. In principle, we can say that it is a type of graduated model.
Features - the lack of clear cuts, volume, layering.
In fact, this model cannot be distinguished as an independent one, but rather as a technology for designing cuts in various types of hairstyles.
The torn effect is created by cutting the strands at different angles. The technique is performed on a separate area of the head: only on the tips, only on the back of the head or on individual curls.
On short hair, torn edges look bold, on medium hair - at ease, on long hair - noble.
If the hair structure is thin, then this technique is designed to increase the volume of the hairstyle.
On thick and naturally curly curls, this haircut technology allows you to maintain the shape, harmonizing the image.
Oblique
The oblique bob, like the previous version, is more of a technique than a type of haircut. Special cases of the oblique model are asymmetry, "on a leg", classical, etc.
The main difference is clear and strict lines, the lower cut of the strands from the face to the back of the head is cut at an angle. The back strands are always shorter.
The technique is designed to increase the volume in the occipital region and cheekbones, to correct the contours, to hide imperfections. The transitions can be carried out depending on the created image: sharp - more daring, smooth - feminine and gentle.
"On a leg"
This haircut model has been known for a long time. It is more expedient to attribute it to short options than to long or medium ones. However, depending on the length of the front curls, it can look different.
The most dramatic square "on the leg" looks with a very short back of the head, when it is cut "under a typewriter." The crown is lush and voluminous. Sometimes it is slightly graduated for expressiveness.
Masters warn that such a model is suitable only for women with an ideal neck: long and graceful.
With lengthening
Angled haircuts are popular with all ages. It is relevant for many female types.
The elongated front strands are cut at an angle compared to the back of the head. This makes it possible for girls who are wary of a sudden change of image to maintain their length.
Experts warn that it is very important to maintain the necessary proportions between the front and back curls, so as not to cause imbalance and not harm the image as a whole.
The model with lengthening can be different: "on a leg", bob, with asymmetric or graduated strands. The latter options are most suitable for women with fine hair structure.
The lengthening makes it possible to turn a classic hairstyle into a creative one.
Graded
The model is designed according to the stepwise technology. Tiers are cut at different heights, which makes it possible to increase the splendor of the hairstyle.
Graduated squares are a great option to correct the oval of the face, bringing it closer to the ideal one. Depending on the number of tiers and the smoothness of the transitions, the masters create amazing and dissimilar images - from slight negligence and perkiness to bold insolence and extravagant disheveledness.
One of the types of graduated model is a double square.
In this case, two clearly defined tiers are cut, the ends of which are either milled or graduated. It should be noted that such a hairstyle is difficult to maintain, since it requires careful daily styling using several styling products. But the effect is amazing.
Asymmetrical
The lightweight model with asymmetrical edges not only looks great on any woman's head, but also allows you to hide some of its imperfections, for example, a high forehead or massive cheekbones.
This option can be short or shoulder length. It is characterized by a well-defined contour and precise cuts. As for the structure, the asymmetry looks advantageous on both straight and curly hair.
Cascade
An elongated bob without bangs is a classic variation with long strands. The cut can be flat or a cascade ladder. It suits any hair structure, but looks fuller on thick hair.
The main advantage is the ability to get a stylish, versatile haircut, while leaving a comfortable length.
Fashion trends
Craftsmen often offer their clients to experiment with a hairstyle, to create a brighter image on a basic basis. It is enough just to add colors, and the haircut will sparkle in a different way, it will become more expressive. For example, dark shades are able to clearly define the contour, lighter colors will create a feeling of lightness and tenderness, ultra-fashionable colors will speak of the owner's courage and audacity.
Stylish coloring, interesting jewelry and versatile styling have always been in vogue, so this hairstyle is at the peak of popularity among women of all ages.
How to choose?
In general, such a haircut is suitable for any woman, regardless of age. Of course, he still plays his role, since the fair sex after 40 years old prefer more restrained and elegant models than young girls. Even for teens and toddlers, there is a short haircut option. Children's squares are now more common.
The color also has a certain influence on the choice of the model. For example, a brunette with thick hair will look extravagant with a haircut "on the leg", because the border between the hair and the skin will be bright, which will give the image a boldness. Blondes prefer romantic light waves, classic bob or bob. Dark, almost black hair is versatile and can be experimented with from straight, sleek to asymmetrical or graduated. If you add interesting coloring, the result will be unique. Redheads of the fair sex are always in sight due to their brightness.
Usually they are bold and bold, so they prefer models with torn and oblique edges.
In order to successfully choose a square without bangs, several factors should be taken into account: structure and desired length, facial features, physiological characteristics of the neck and décolleté.
By type and length of hair
Naturally curly hair sometimes brings some disappointment to their owners, since they require a lot of attention. Women in this case often choose a bob or straight bob. A bob with ragged edges creates a kind of "artistic mess" on the head, which is now among the popular fashion trends. Besides, it is comfortable, stylish, casual. For a straight fit, use styling products and iron to straighten wavy curls.
It is better if the hair is thick, then the natural beauty does not require much intervention. Otherwise, craftsmen use techniques to increase the volume. Short haircuts on a fine hair structure cannot be categorically denied. Professionals recommend taking a closer look at haircuts with torn edges, using layering and asymmetry. Such techniques visually increase the volume at the crown. The effect can be enhanced by interesting coloring of individual strands.
Medium strands, up to the chin or barely reaching the shoulders, are unique in their versatility, as they accept all types of bob without bangs. Moreover, the choice depends only on the shape of the face and structure. The main thing is that, unlike short models, not only the transitions of shades during coloring, but also the multi-tiered haircut are clearly visible on them.
A long thick hairstyle is not a reason to refuse such a haircut. It will fit very well on such a head, and the result is always interesting. An elongated square is very suitable for doubting persons who are afraid to abruptly change their image. However, this hairstyle is sometimes only the first step to this.
The choice of model depends on the hair structure. Of course, thick hair does not need an artificial increase in splendor, but for thin hair this is the primary task. Therefore, the cutting technique is changing. If in the second case the torn ends and graduated strands are the creation of a visual volumetric cap, then in the first case, thinning is used to concretize the shape with a certain contour.
The same goes for type. Playful natural curls cannot interfere with creating a hairstyle without bangs, but you have to work hard with styling. If you need a straight, smooth model, then you should resort to the help of an iron. For everyday use, it is better to choose a haircut that takes into account natural features, for example, an elongated version or a cascade. A bob on straight hair looks gorgeous and provides a wide range of styling.
The classics are obtained without problems, a more romantic image is easily created with the help of electric tongs, ultra-fashionable models also look perfect on them.
By face type
A square without bangs, according to the masters, is suitable for any type of face.
- Square. Focus on lightness, for which use asymmetry or graduated models with elongated front strands. They will balance the angularity, add volume. Since in this case the areas of the forehead and chin are almost equal, you should choose models taking into account the fact that their main task is the need to stretch the contour. Professionals do not advise using sharp geometry; soft, enveloping lines are more suitable. Long front strands are one of the best options.
- Circle. Go for longer, lower-shoulder options. Such hairstyles visually stretch the outline. Try not to curl the ends inward, but rather curl outward so that the round face doesn't get wider. Parting is also contraindicated, preferably side parting. A flat bottom cut creates volume, which can create a "short neck" effect. Therefore, it is better to opt for torn and asymmetrical edges.
- Oval. In this case, any haircuts and styling are appropriate. Only if the cheekbones are somewhat wide, the masters advise to lengthen the front curls so that an angle forms with the back of the head. Then the image will become more elegant.
- Triangle. A wide and high forehead at the same time is balanced by an asymmetrical square with a lengthening in front. Moreover, both short and long versions are welcome. Masters recommend choosing models with a closed back of the head.
If you prefer a short haircut, then carefully analyze your face beforehand so that the subsequent result does not upset you. The round shape requires lengthening in the front, the square chin is better to hide with the help of the oblique option, and the shortened back of the head is well suited to the diamond-shaped lines.
How to stack?
A classic straight square without bangs, laid smoothly and neatly, creates the effect of a laconic business image, looks well-groomed and stylish. To create it, you need a styling product that is applied to slightly damp and well-combed hair. Then, when they dry up, they are pulled out and smoothed with an iron. At the last stage, the result should be fixed with a special fixator. Masters do not advise using varnish, since it makes the hairstyle heavier, it is better to use light sprays.
For a sporty version, everything can be easily gathered in a ponytail at the back, leaving only the front short strands.
If it is necessary to remove all hair so that it does not interfere with the exercise, then use various hairpins and invisible hairpins, as well as fixing means.
If you are planning a friendly party or date, you can spice up your hairstyle with curling, creating a romantic, slightly playful and perky look.

- If you don't have your curls, then after you have washed your hair, applied a styling product and dried it, use a styler, hairdryer or curling iron. Depending on the direction of curling the curls, the image will be different. To get a fluffy hat, twist at the roots, while the ends can be left straight.
- Curling the ends to the face, the result will be more feminine and romantic.
- Curling the curls from below in the direction from the face, the hairstyle will take on a playful look, cute and perky.
Modern young girls often choose bolder options with asymmetrical strands or graduated transitions. Such haircuts, as a rule, require constant grooming and daily styling.
- In the case of long front strands and a short back of the head, several styling options are possible: straighten and smooth the curls or curl. You will have to use equipment such as an iron or curling tongs.

- Asymmetric strands of different lengths are smoothed out with a styler, with your fingers using a styling tool, the ends are pulled in the right direction, giving the desired shape.
We will consider some styling options in more detail.
- A hair dryer with a round brush is an everyday helper. You don't need stunning, complex styling to go to work or school every day. A quick approach is required here. It couldn't be easier to apply a heat protectant styling product to damp hair and style it with a hairdryer and a round brush head. If you twist the curls in the root zone, then we get a voluminous crown. The ends, depending on the mood, either remain straight or slightly curled. Curling direction is determined by face type.
- Curls. To create romantic large curls or small perky curls, either curlers or electric tongs are used. First, as usual, the thermal protection is applied to the washed damp head. Then the hair is impregnated with mousse, combed gently and dried. After that, you can start winding up. When curling, keep in mind that the thinner the strands, the finer the curls.The size of the curls can still vary depending on the diameter of the curling iron. When all the strands are curled, they are carefully combed and treated with a fixative.
- Unconstrained negligence. For women with an active lifestyle, the "creative mess" on the head looks cute and casual. Styling is almost instantaneous. She just needs styling products. First of all, after washing, the hair is treated with thermal protection and foam. Then the head is lowered down and the hair is tousled well by hand. This is followed by drying. It is better if this happens naturally, but for speed, the process is carried out with a hairdryer. At the end, the hair is lightly smoothed and sprayed with a fixing spray.
- Straight smoothness is a classic approach for any length. A thermal protective gel is applied to clean, damp strands, after which they must be thoroughly dried. Then, small strands are gradually pulled out and smoothed with an iron.
To make a square without bangs look gorgeous, you should take proper care of it, use high-quality cosmetics from trusted manufacturers, suitable for a specific skin type and hair structure. Do not overuse styling products, they make your hairstyle heavier. Mousse or foam is taken about the size of a walnut, and it is enough to sprinkle the fixative a couple of times.
