Haircut for different hair lengths
How the haircut will look depends on the length of the hair. Here lies the main convenience of the square. It will look good whether the girl has short or long hair.
Short hair
With this hair length, the haircut will look very different, because it is designed for two rows of strands, some of which are shorter than others. There are many options for performing a square in this case. The most popular are:
- strands elongated on the sides;
- as short hair as possible at the back;
- complex line of one cut;
- one length for the whole haircut.
Each option suits different life circumstances, moods and situations. A haircut with long strands of hair left is suitable for a celebration, a festive and romantic look. Short hair in the back will emphasize the image well if the girl prefers an informal and bright style of clothing.
Average hair length
At this length, the square creates the effect of originality and adds volume to the hair. This option is especially suitable for people with pale skin and light strands, as it will successfully emphasize femininity.
With a dark hair color, a double bob goes well with bright and daring makeup.
For medium hair, there are the following double bob options.
- With a pronounced double cut - it looks stylish, creating an interesting pattern that makes the hairstyle extremely original.
- On the "leg" on one side of the face - requires constant styling, you may have to use an iron to straighten the curls. One side of the haircut is applied with varnish so that the hairstyle remains unchanged.
- The back line of the straight strand hairstyle is a model showing the ways of modern hair styling. Most suitable for casual style.
- Strong volume at the crown is created with a hairdryer and hold-downs and goes well with short bangs.
Long hair
On such hair, the double cut of the bob is best visible. Haircut and styling look fresh and original. The lower tier of the hair remains as it is, and the upper one is made short. This option is usually chosen by stylish and bold girls, confident in themselves and loving attention.
Torn bangs are perfect for a square for long hair, while the haircut looks optimal with a dark hair color (brown-haired and brunettes).
Laying with thinning
Thinning is strands cut at different heights (in the case of a double square, this is the main highlight of the hairstyle). It allows you to add volume even if your hair is thin and thin. Thinning can be done both along the entire length of the hair, and only at the roots or ends. Usually, masters advise chubby people to use this technique, those who have chosen a short haircut or in the presence of extended strands.
With a two-level bob, styling can become a difficult and lengthy process without proper skill, so it is better to immediately clarify the basics of maintaining a hairstyle with a master.
Gels, waxes, hair sprays and hair foams will help maintain shape and volume. Do not forget that you need to have a straightening iron at home, a skeletal comb, a round brush (if the square is made for long hair).
Both levels of the hairstyle, if desired, can be styled on one side or on different sides. A classic is the direction of the upper hair inward and downward, and the lower - outward. You can also lay the top strands in the traditional way and straighten the bottom strands with an iron. In general, on this issue, it is better to contact a stylist who will tell you the best option.
