Graduated cascade: who suits and examples of styling

Graduated cascade is a trendy and interesting hairstyle that visually increases hair volume. It suits both short and medium or long hair. With a graduated cascade haircut, any of your looks will become unique and inimitable.

The hairstyle consists of smoothly transitioning steps, between which graduation is performed - the hair is cut at a certain angle. This technique is similar to the step (ladder) technique, but there are differences.

• The boundaries of the steps are clearly visible. They are almost invisible in the ladder.
• Complexity. For the cascade, the master needs skill, while the ladder is considered an easy haircut.
• Square. The cascade captures all strands, and the ladder only captures the edges of the hair.
• Time. A cascade requires more than a ladder. This is based on the previous differences.

For those with thick hair, hairdressers suggest thinning the strands at the roots, thereby creating a light and harmonious shape.

The cascade looks good on owners of straight or slightly wavy hair. If you have curly hair, it is better to start the graduation from the level of the ears so that the curls do not curl or rise.

On short hair, it is perfect for women with an "oval" face shape, long bangs, laid on one side, visually stretches the face.

This is an indispensable option for those who are constantly at work, but nevertheless want to look feminine and fashionable. The hairstyle does not require careful maintenance. When creating it, the hairdresser touches all the hair, so this is also a great reason to eliminate split ends. A cascade at this length allows you to create a festive hairstyle.

Long hair is undoubtedly the best feminine adornment, but well-styled hair is the most spectacular. They also add femininity and fragility.

The cascade can go from any level - from the level of the ears to the middle and lower levels. In the first case, the neck visually becomes thinner and the volume of the hair increases, while their length remains the same. And in the second - a light and gentle cascade is obtained.

If you have sparse hair, then you need to be careful with this haircut, because you get sparse ends. In this case, the hairdresser begins the graduation from the very top.

The graduated cascade looks great with a wide variety of bangs and suits most women. Many hairdressers recognized the bangs as a faithful companion of this haircut and noted its property to rejuvenate the hostess.
