Caret with bangs: types and tips for choosing
An important part of any girl's hairstyle is stylish and beautiful bangs. She is able at one moment to give your image the very zest that all men appreciate. Choosing the right bangs for short hairstyles is especially important - here they have the greatest role in shaping the first impression. That is why today we will consider successful options for bangs with a bob cut - one of the most popular types of short haircuts.
The history of the square
For many years, caret has remained one of the most famous and stylish haircuts for girls.
The classic style of this haircut has undergone many changes on the way to modern times., the length of hair and bangs when cutting was constantly changing not only by the fashion houses themselves, but also by fashionistas, forming more and more new varieties. But if you go a little deeper into the history of the emergence of a square, it becomes clear that the first haircut of this kind did not appear at all from under a skillful barber's hand.
Let us recall the war and post-war times of the beginning of the 20th century. Men went to war, and women had to take on all of the housework. At this time, I had to forget about my own well-being and only care that the work was done and the children were fed. That is why many girls, between practicality and appearance, preferred the former.
The beginning and the first half of the 20th century - the height of the women's movement for the right to vote (we all remember the suffragette movement in the USA and Great Britain), which also affected the fashion itself in general. The bob and short hairstyles have become a symbol of independence, freedom and strong-willed character., to the detriment of tenderness, naivety and sensuality, which were inherent in long and luxurious curls.
As you might expect, first of all, this hairstyle fashion found its audience among the young audience. The most striking example of a talented person with such a haircut was the famous Coco Chanel. Inspired by her example, and by the example of dozens of other well-known secular lionesses, women with open arms and turned heads adopted a new type of haircut.
If the original square was only short-cut hair with the same short bangs, then over time the style began to radically modernize - experiments began with the length of the bangs and the entire head of hair, with hair styling and their structure - it was then that the fashion for wavy and uneven the length of the strand.
Advantages and disadvantages of bob haircuts
The square had many advantages over the haircuts of that time - let's look at the pros first, and then move on to some of the obvious disadvantages. We will also try to touch upon the individual pros and cons of certain types of bob haircuts with certain types of bangs.
Dignity.
- It is very easy to look after a bob haircut with any bangs. A head with short hair is much faster to wash, dry, comb and style.
- If long hair in most cases means a lack of natural volume due to the high weight and tension of the curls, then with short hair this problem disappears.
- A bob haircut with well-chosen bangs is ideal for girls with problem skin and a large forehead. Moreover, such a haircut, even with an oval face of a square type, makes its features more graceful and subtle.
- The square does not require great professionalism from the master: all that should be in your arsenal is good and sharp scissors, a thick comb or brushing, as well as scissors for filing.
- Versatility - this haircut fits almost any face shape and hair structure.
Disadvantages.
- The main disadvantage of some types of squares is the need to constantly maintain the hairstyle in a consistently neat condition. This applies to alignment, adjustment and styling.
- Another of the important disadvantages of a square with such types of bangs as flat, round or graduated is the difficulty in finding a suitable master for a neat bang. Even despite the fact that all these types of bangs with a square can be modeled on their own, not everyone has the nerves and time for this.
If with long hair such bangs (with a failure of the master) could somehow be beaten due to the total length of the hair, then with a square any flaw can look critical.
Varieties and features of techniques
The most compelling benefit of bobbing with bangs is that it offers us many ways to experiment. There are many varieties of bob haircuts with bangs, but we will try to consider the most basic and understand what is the peculiarity of each.
Long to one side
A bob with overgrown bangs to one side is useful for focusing attention on certain facial features. Here, great opportunities are open to the master, where everything depends only on the desires of the woman of fashion and the texture of the hair. Long bangs can be torn, oblique, graduated. In any case, with such a bang, any short haircut looks stylish and elegant.
The elongated bangs are designed to soften the straight lines of the cheekbones and chin, to give the whole image a soft femininity and proportion. Depending on the length, texture and color of the hair, as well as the different styling methods, you can achieve completely different results.
Torn
Torn bangs are one of the most popular options today.This type of bangs with a square assumes the formation of uneven and asymmetrical strands. It looks especially extraordinary with a classic and strict square. Torn bangs are designed to smooth out the excessive severity and straightness of the lines in the hairstyle itself.
The most suitable option for this type of bangs would be graduated and milled squares. At the same time, the length of the torn strands is not regulated by anything, there are known options with torn bangs to the middle of the forehead or to the line of eyebrows / eyes - it all depends on the master and your desires.
Such bangs look great laid on one side, however, many girls experiment, leaving torn strands in a slightly sloppy and messy look. Torn bangs rejuvenate the face, giving it more grace and mystery. Not to mention the fact that this type is better than anyone else able to hide defects in appearance and problem areas on the face.
With a scythe
The oblique type of bangs was not taken seriously at first, girls usually resorted to it as the easiest way to get rid of annoying hair. Today, oblique bangs are one of the main attributes in the assortment of many fashionistas. It gives spice and freshness to any look, and can also smooth out imperfect facial features (especially for square faces). This bangs has only one drawback - without reliable fixation, some part of the curls now and then climbs into the eyes.
The most successful option for oblique bangs would be a medium or long square with graduation, in this case the hairstyle will turn out to be lush, youthful and even catchy. Oblique bangs are usually laid to one side, along the eyebrow line or slightly below. Some girls prefer double oblique bangs - this is when the parting on the curls is done in the middle, and the strands are fixed at the temples or behind the ears.
This option looks spectacular with an elongated type of square. The oblique bangs for a square, created thanks to smooth cuts of straight strands, also looks good.
Straight
The ancestor of straight bangs is the classic type of square. Despite its centuries-old roots, the classic straight bangs are constantly seen in fashion shows. The even type can emphasize the symmetry of facial features and the firm, even and calm disposition of a fashionista. Such bangs look good with smooth straight hair, the standard length here is up to the eyebrow line, however, many prefer very short bangs to the middle of the forehead. If the bangs are thick, you can do with light thinning, but if the hair is thin and rather sparse, the option of an even two-layer bangs will do.
Graduated
Graduated bangs involve a stepped haircut or a ladder haircut. Usually bangs of this type are worn with the same graduated square of medium length. This hairstyle can visually soften the face and give it softness. In addition to the natural volume, graduated bangs will help to hide imperfect facial features. The optimal length in this case is along the line of the eyes and or to the line of the eyebrows.
Most of all, this type goes to straight or slightly curly hair, because for wavy strands the graduation can be almost invisible.
With asymmetric
Asymmetry is the perfect way to change your image. It is worth slightly changing the length of the strands, working on the bangs and texture - and now you have a completely different image in front of you. Asymmetrical bob with bangs will emphasize individuality in a girl, successful asymmetrical images are always fresh and extravagant to some extent. So, for example, a very short asymmetrical square with bangs will look aggressive. A longer square will add femininity and mystery to the face, emphasize the dignity of the face, smooth out a square or triangular chin.
This version of a square with bangs looks good with straight hair; it is with this type of hair that the asymmetry stands out more effectively.
With triangular
There are not many successful examples of triangular bangs with a square. This mainly applies to a strictly defined oval of the face.Such bangs can successfully look on square or oval faces, it will accentuate your eyes, eyebrows and an even nose, visually reduce the forehead. With triangular faces, this type of bangs does not look particularly good, as it only increases the external angularity of the face.
Most often, such haircuts can be found in fashion magazines and on the catwalks, but in real life, few people dare to do such an experiment with their bow.
Fashion trends
Recently, two-layer milled and graduated bangs are becoming more and more popular, they are designed to give hair a natural splendor and volume. Stylists and classic varieties of caret were not disregarded - at fashion shows every now and then there are models with strict classic squares and straight bangs.
An increasingly popular novelty of the season is a medium-length bob with long oblique bangs, while the ends of the hair are very lightly thinned.
For hair color, preference is given to natural natural tones.
For brunettes - these are copper, chestnut and coffee shades with highlighting or lightening the ends. Blondes are encouraged to experiment with sunny tones: sand, honey and wheat colors will look the most advantageous. For more daring and creative blonde young ladies, bright fire and berry colors may suit.
Don't forget about the harmony between hair color and your eye / skin color. So, girls with light pink skin can try golden and light brown colors, in rare cases, you should turn to light chestnut shades.
How to stack?
For styling all types of bangs with a square, you will need a brushing, a mirror, a hair dryer, regular and thinning scissors, clips or invisible hair clips to fix the rest of the hair. Hair can be slightly moistened so that even the most unruly curls can be easily cut and styled.
However, overdoing it with wetting is also not worth it. Wet hair appears visually longer than dry hair, which can lead to unpredictable results.
Let's try to briefly go through the peculiarities of styling each type of square with bangs.
- In a straight bang, everything is quite simple. The curls are separated from the rest of the hairstyle with clips or fixed with varnish. Then, starting from either side, we select a separate strand on the bangs, the length of which we will focus on in the future. Choosing a strand, cut it to the desired length. Gradually, pulling back the remaining hair a little, we do the same with the rest of the bangs. Try to leave a little extra length, so that later if necessary, adjust. After trimming, the bangs can be milled, processed with a round comb to add volume or round the ends.
- Torn bangs. We start the haircut with the already familiar fixation. The secret of torn bangs is in the formation of thin strands of small flagella, which are then cut at an angle to the chosen length. Moreover, the length of the cut of each flagellum can be very different. Then the hair is simply filleted and combed.
- Cutting oblique bangs resembles styling straight, with the only exception that from the beginning of the bangs you should move from top to bottom - this will make it easier to control the smoothness of the cut. If we mean an oblique long bangs, then it does not need a certain styling. Such bangs are fixed with hairpins, hairpins, or simply hide behind the ears. This also includes the styling of asymmetrical bangs, where everything is individual and very dependent on the length of the square itself.
- Graduated bangs, as a rule, does not fit separately from the hairstyle, so all the styling rules are the same here as for the entire head of hair. The only thing worth paying attention to is the desired length of the bangs.
- For a triangular bangs cut you should consult an experienced craftsman. Only in talented hands can she look good. We do not recommend that you resort to cutting these bangs at home: there is a high risk of uneven cuts, incorrectly chosen parting and length of curls.
How to choose?
It is worth considering carefully the choice of bangs for your bob haircut. We will consider some factors responsible for the choice below, however, do not forget that the success of any haircut also depends on your inner state.
Take a look at any type of bangs in terms of your overall look, your lifestyle, and your personality.
- So, business and calm women with a balanced lifestyle will go with smooth and soft bangs with graduations. They won't take long to style and won't give strangers the wrong impression of you.
- Fashionistas with a young and rebellious character will certainly suit non-standard options for bangs of a wide variety of lengths and colors. Here, a whole field for experiments opens up for the girl and the master. However, this does not mean that the result should be treated carelessly. The selection of bangs in this case is an equally important task.
- If we talk about children's options for bangs with a bob, then today the preference is given to the classic bob with an oblique or straight bang. For children with curly long hair, an asymmetrical bob with long bangs is ideal.
By face type
Some types of bob haircuts with bangs are suitable for a strictly defined face shape. So what are the preferences for the type of square with bangs there.
- Square face shape in dire need of softening of features: cheekbones, chin, nose. A square face does not tolerate too short hairstyles, so a long type of square with oblique and voluminous bangs is more suitable here. In this case, you can choose the parting yourself, but again you should avoid straight lines and corners - here it is important to achieve softening of the facial features.
- Oval face type not particularly picky and can look good with any kind of bob and any kind of bangs. Fashionistas with this type of face can safely experiment with their hairstyle and each time achieve some new result. It all depends only on your desire and on what exactly you want to focus on. If these are your lips or cheekbones, a bob haircut with elongated strands in front is recommended.
If you are the owner of a beautiful, even and small forehead, it may be worth giving up the bangs altogether and getting by with an ordinary parting.
- Triangular or elongated face type desperately needs a voluminous and, preferably, long bangs that can hide a large forehead or imperfect eyebrows. Most of all, a straight bang along the eyebrow line or a bang flush with the hairstyle is suitable for this. If instead of a wide forehead you have a fairly large and wide chin, the ideal option would be to choose a bob haircut that is at least as long as the jawline. This will visually reduce it and focus on the beautiful features of the face.
- The problem is too round faces for a square in excessive roundness of forms. The graduation should handle this. An uneven and slightly sloppy-looking hairstyle will visually stretch your face, even help hide some skin imperfections.
- As for the general features of the face, neck and collarbones, the so-called square on a leg is most suitable for small facial features, and a neck that is too long can be easily hidden under a long square, no higher than shoulder level.
Choosing a hair color for a bob
Despite the fact that natural hair color has recently become more and more popular, modern women of fashion have many questions about what color a bob haircut will look best with. In fact, there are a lot of options and no one bothers you to experiment, but there are also typical recommendations for hair color for a bob.
There are three factors by which modern women of fashion choose a good color for a square:
- eye color;
- skin tone;
- color of business and casual clothes.
The combination of eye color and the color of your hair will only add sophistication and sophistication to the whole image, the similarity with skin color will help hide its imperfections and even help distract attention from too noticeable makeup. It's not even worth talking about the importance of a successful combination of color of clothes and hair - this is one of the most important manifestos of any girl.
So, let's look at good examples of combining hair color with eye and skin color.
- Brown eyes (include a large group of shades: from golden and dark green to black and brown). Depending on the depth of the shade, the hair color is usually chosen. So, curls of dark shades are suitable for purely brown eyes: black, dark chestnut, dark blond. Red and sunny shades are great for golden-brown eyes, they will give the general image of mischief, cheerfulness and originality. People with brown eyes tend to have darker skin, which also works well with dark hair.
- Blue eyes (includes a less wide range of shades: from dark blue to light blue with splashes). Blue-eyed girls have a whole arsenal for experimenting with the color of curls. You can include absolutely all shades here: pleasant sandy hair colors, red, light brown. Even black hair with expressive blue eyes can look killer.
- If the shade of the eyes is close to gray or pale in color, then wheat and ash shades are more suitable here. Gray-eyed people tend to have white and fair skin that can play well in any outfit.
- Green eyes (gradient from light green to dark green interspersed). Here everything depends more on the color of your skin than on the color of the eyes themselves. For girls with delicate wheat or white skin, a clear light brown color should suit. If the effect turns out to be too simple and mediocre, you can always experiment with color using coloring or highlighting. If a girl has green eyes, but dark, dark golden and tanned skin, then you should turn to darker colors in her hairstyle. This is where dark chestnut and copper colors come to the rescue.
It is worth avoiding dyeing hair in purely black or pale colors under any circumstances, in this case even bright green eyes may not save the situation, and all pleasant facial features will recede into the background.
By type and length of hair
Everything here is intuitively simple. By nature, a thick hairstyle will not need graduation, it all depends on what effect you want to achieve from the hair. In this case, bangs with light milling and a straight cut look good.
Thin and not particularly thick hair, on the contrary, needs as much volume as possible. In this case, the masters usually offer to make a two-layer bangs of a square and options with graduation. Thinning should be abandoned; already thin hair should not be disturbed.
Wavy or curly curls are rarely tolerant of cropped bangs and hairstyles, so elongated options will look best. Try to pay attention to asymmetrical, oblique and torn types of bangs: these types are best suited to hair with wavy hair.
As for the norms for the length of the bangs and the hair itself, then it will be more successful to choose the option of bangs to the eyebrow line for a short type of square, and in some versions, if the curls are selected according to the length of the hairstyle, and longer. On the other hand, an elongated bob will accept most options for bangs, but short options up to the middle of the forehead will look best.
