Elongated bob without bangs: types and methods of styling
A haircut is a subject of self-expression for any woman. Under different circumstances, changing your hairstyle helps you either assert yourself, or calm down, or start life from scratch. At the same time, an unsuccessful styling can ruin the mood or drive you into despondency. Therefore, you need to approach her choice carefully, carefully considering everything. One of the latest trends is long hair bob without bangs. Let's consider its features.
Features of technology
Caret has been known since the times of Ancient Egypt and is the basic version of haircuts. To date, stylists have created a large number of hairstyles on this basis, including those with lengthening.
The haircut gained popularity as soon as it appeared. She has many admirers among simple and very famous people. It has a lot of styling options at different lengths and looks impressive.
An elongated bob without a bang is the most popular type of haircut not only among adult women. It is becoming popular among the younger generation.
The features of this hairstyle are as follows:
- this is a classic haircut of a certain length without bangs, that is, the hair falls through the parting on both sides of the head;
- clearly marked outlines;
- a smooth transition between the back of the head and the front strands.
The styling differs from the classic version precisely in the length and the ability to vary the shape without changing the content. Many women prefer to shape the ends in the form of an asymmetrical line, use gradient transitions, thinning and bright colors. All this further emphasizes the individuality of each of the fair sex.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of an elongated square is the ability to choose its shape and maintain length. This is especially important for those who do not dare to radically change their appearance.
Since hair grows back over time, many haircuts lose their original appearance and require adjustment, which means additional financial costs. The model for long hair without bangs is devoid of such a disadvantage. Growing back, long strands do not worsen the appearance; in some cases, the hairstyle becomes even more interesting.
Some complex models have to be laid in a special way, which is time consuming and skillful. In the case of an elongated square, the styling can be any, depending on the choice of its owner.
Caring for such styling is simple, since medium-length hair is easy to wash, comb, and splits less.
The versatility of the option with lengthening is that it suits both a sporty style and an evening dress.
The haircut accepts any kind of coloring, both monochromatic and graduated, for example, ombre, highlighting or coloring.
A square for long hair without bangs is suitable for women and girls with any face shape. By varying the level and shape of the elongated strands, the most profitable option for the transformation is selected.
Another important advantage is the cost of hairstyles in hairdressing salons. Its price is always within the limits of the cost of conventional haircuts.
Among the disadvantages of a square without a bang, the following can be distinguished.
- Daily care. If you don’t wash your hair for at least one day, then the next morning your hair will lose its attractive appearance and shine. Styling is also necessary daily.
- Skeptics claim that the list of styling options for lengthening without bangs is still less, than a regular hairstyle.
- The main requirement for leaving is the use of special styling products.
It should be noted that a long square without bangs looks great only if there is sufficient density. If there is none, then it is better to resort to graded variations, use asymmetry and interesting coloring.
The combination of a narrow face and thin thin hair with lengthening is unacceptable, since such a haircut will further narrow its contours.
The hairstyle is also contraindicated for owners of a short neck, as it will only emphasize this drawback.
Varieties
The classic version of an elongated square without bangs is called Egyptian, when the length of the strands is the same on all sides. The image is laconic and is suitable for women who prefer a business-like, sustained style with elements of sophistication and elegance.
A long bob without bangs is suitable for cutting on any hair, but it looks different in each case. Depending on this, there are several haircut options.
Bean
Professional masters advise owners of long curls to do a bob-bob haircut. It came about by mixing the two styles, taking the best features from each. If you are not ready for a drastic change of image, then this option is just what you need.
The successful combination of long front strands and shorter nape suits most women. The front length can reach shoulder level and slightly below. The cut line from the front strands to the back of the head changes with preference and sometimes forms a very sharp angle, which makes the haircut bold. The smaller the difference between the levels of the front and back, the closer the hairstyle is to the classic version.
Long hair bob creates a romantic illusion. Masters do not advise women with short necks to do it. It looks most advantageous when framing a face of the correct shape.
On the leg
For shorter hair, a square with elongated strands is also suitable, for example, a bob with a leg. A haircut implies a fluffy hat on the top of the head, creating volume, and at the back the back of the head is cut short, forming a "leg".This approach is especially important in the case of a thin hair structure, as it visually increases the volume of the hairstyle.
Professionals warn that a bob on a leg looks spectacular on brunettes, but since the neck is brightly emphasized by a dark hairline, it must be flawless.
The model "on the leg" with lengthening will make the look more graceful.
Ball
The name speaks for itself. The shape of the hairstyle resembles a ball, long front strands frame the face, which makes the image brighter and more interesting.
Masters recommend this styling for slender women and owners of thin facial features.
Asymmetrical
A bob with elongated strands on a medium length is cut as follows. In front, the strands reach the shoulder line, and in the back, in the standard version, should not exceed the level of the chin.
Asymmetrical lines are used when you need to correct the oval of the face. Length differences at the temples can create an interesting look.
Asymmetry is obtained by changing the position of the parting, different lengths of the strands, shaving off individual areas, for example, at the temples or the back of the head. Creative asymmetry is suitable for young and courageous people who strive to express themselves, to stand out from the crowd. It should be remembered that haircut should correspond to the general image, correlate with makeup and clothes.
An asymmetrical square looks more impressive in combination with trendy coloring. Color transitions, separate colored strands will add eccentricity and boldness to the whole image.
Double
A double bob is one of the options for a graduated haircut for medium length hair. In this case, the hairstyle is carried out in two levels. The first is in the region of the temples and the back of the head, is longer, the second is at the crown, short. Professionals point out that the shorter the second level, the more voluminous the hairstyle turns out.
The two-tiered design allows you to hide some of the imperfections of a round face by lengthening it. If, in conjunction with the elongated version, you use an interesting coloring, then the image will become interesting and extravagant.
The masters warn that this hairstyle requires daily styling. This factor should be considered when choosing it. If the owner of such a haircut has time to properly care for her, then she will make her irresistible.
On one side
Young, extravagant girls and daring women often use an asymmetrical version with a shorter right or left side. On the one hand, the hair is cut short under the "bob", and on the other, the usual length of an elongated bob remains. The difference in levels can be significant.
This hairstyle allows you to hide some defects in the shape of the face. In addition, she will definitely make her owner the center of attention.
Graded
A bob with an extension without bangs on short hair looks almost classic, except that the forehead in the latter version should be closed. Graduated sections make the image more interesting, extravagant, giving a certain charm to its owner. If you combine the graduation with a cascade, you get a classic hairstyle, elegant and a little ironic.
In general, the graduation technique is designed to correct the visual volume. Cutting strands at different angles creates the effect of a thick and splendid hairstyle out of fine-structured hair.
If they are very thick, then with the help of this technique, the volume is regulated, giving lightness and romance to its owner.
For thin straight hair, the graduated version is a good solution for changing the image, since it visually increases the volume. In addition, they become more obedient, look well-groomed, do not require effort for styling.
On long hair, the gradient becomes less noticeable over time, so it will need to be adjusted regularly.
French
Another option with lengthening is the French square. It is performed with or without bangs.
More often the haircut is performed at an average length.It is considered ideal if the front strands do not reach slightly to the shoulders. This combination is suitable for most women.
In the classic version, the French square has no sharp lines. Graduation is encouraged, which makes the hairstyle natural and light.
By changing the length, the masters correct some imperfections in facial features, such as a wide or high forehead, massive nose or cheekbones, small and close-set eyes.
How to choose?
To choose a haircut with lengthening, you should focus on the features of the shape of the face and neck, the density and structure of the hair. The choice should be approached carefully so that the haircut does not spoil the image, but improves it.
Elongation is suitable for almost all girls, you just need to choose its type.
By type and length of hair
If you are naturally inherent in highly curly curls, then a square with lengthening will not work for you. It is also contraindicated for those with thin hair.
Short
For fine hair, we recommend a graduated short bob with lengthening. Such a solution creates the effect of a lush hairstyle due to strands of different lengths. A short haircut is appropriate with a side or straight parting.
The masters suggest not to be afraid to experiment and vary not only the length, but also the color. Young, extravagant girls often include bright strands and torn asymmetrical ends in their hairstyle.
On short hair, bob haircuts, a square "on a leg", a "ball", as well as the classic version of an elongated square look advantageous.
Middle length
The most popular square with lengthening was found among the owners of medium-length hair. It makes it possible to maintain a comfortable length, give expressiveness and correct some defects in appearance, for example, soften angular features. In this case, it takes little time to leave and there are several styling options that can be changed depending on the style.
In the classic version, the elongated front strands barely reach the shoulders, and in the back they are slightly shorter, approximately at the level of the chin, or all curls can be of the same length.
Straight smooth bob is a great option for a business or special occasion. Light waves will make the image more feminine, asymmetry will add boldness and boldness.
Unlike a short haircut, in this version, smooth color transitions are clearly visible when dyeing.
Long
A bob without bangs is also suitable for hair below the shoulders. This is the best way out for women who want to make some changes in their appearance, but are afraid to part with their braids.
The version with lengthening without bangs on long hair looks noble and neat. Moreover, it remains possible to make hairstyles using various weaves.
Graduated coloring looks very beautiful on long hairstyles. If the hair is thin, then again you should turn to multilevel strands.
Naturally curly hair is cut only straight. Excessive thickness is removed by thinning the tips.
Thick
On thick hair, the hairstyle looks impressive, since they keep their shape well. The haircut turns out to be lush, but neat.
In order to correct the volume, the masters advise using graduation and thinning.
Thin
For hair with a fine structure, professionals recommend a square with strands no longer than the shoulders, but no shorter than the bottom point of the ear. Thinning should be minimal, and the cuts should be perfectly even. Then the result is well-groomed and neat.
Curly
Light waviness cannot impede cutting. The only requirement is the choice of either the classic version with a straight cut line, or an asymmetrical square.
If natural curls curl strongly, then it is better not to choose such a hairstyle, since you will have to use an iron to straighten and smooth, and it can harm your hair with daily use.
By face type
The shape of the haircut directly depends on the oval of the face.
- Oval face usually does not need correction, so it looks perfect in a square frame. Any length, any shape will do here. Experts recommend an asymmetrical strand line that will emphasize individuality and make the look stylish and effective.
- Circle shape requires soft lines that extend the outline. Therefore, it is better to lay the strands in light waves, or create volume at the crown and release the straight front strands so that they cover the cheekbones. Masters advise not to use a straight parting, since it will visually make the face even wider, it is better to opt for an oblique, and also experiment with asymmetry. When curling, you should not bend the ends of the strands inward, they should be left straight or twisted away from the face.
- Square. According to generally accepted rules, you should hide a massive chin and pull the oval in the cheekbones. In this regard, sharp geometric lines are prohibited. It is better if the hair is softly framed by a square face. The lengthening in the square should not be shorter than the shoulder line.
- Wide forehead and small chin with triangular shape easy to correct with asymmetrical lines. The task of a haircut is to conceal the upper part of the face, emphasizing the middle. A good choice is the complex shape of the parting and the oblique lines of the strands.
- Thin facial features allow you to make dramatically short haircuts. Here, hairstyles such as a bob "on a leg" or a short bob-bob are suitable.
- Narrow face, framed with wavy strands, will become more plump.
- If the cheekbones are wide, then it is better not to use curls., and stop at the option with straightened curls.
Execution technique
The technology for performing a classic haircut is as follows.
- The hairdresser divides the hair into two equal parts in the middle.
- Each part is secured with a clip for fixing.
- In the center of the back of the head from below on one of the strands, the future length of the square is set.
- The width of each next strand should not exceed 1.5 cm. It is pulled back and cut at an angle to the previous one.
- The given angle determines the length of the front strands in the result.
- The whiskey is sheared using the same technology.
- Since the lines must be perfectly straight, at the end of the cut, check their symmetry and, if necessary, trim.
How to stack?
The lengthened bob does not require complex daily styling, but even simple maintenance needs to be done correctly in order to look great every day.
Care rules
- It is better to wash the head with special shampoos that provide volume.
- When using a hairdryer, select a warm air setting, not a hot one. This will keep the hair structure from breaking down.
- Constant use of stylers requires special care. Use supportive masks and protective balms.
