Haircut "cascade" for medium hair with bangs

Regardless of age, every woman wants to have lush hair that looks good even without careful styling. And this hairstyle is included in the arsenal of modern hairdressers-stylists. This is a "cascade" or "aurora" haircut. This hairstyle was invented by Italian masters, quickly gained well-deserved recognition among fashionistas and spread everywhere.

Such popularity of this type of haircut is due to its complete versatility. The basic version allows you to create a large number of combinations, thanks to which the face of any shape will look attractive. In addition, this fluffy haircut visually reduces facial features, which many women seek - to look delicate and fragile. You can add bangs of different shapes and densities to it.

But this option was perfect for Italian women a few decades ago. In modern times, with a large number of beauty salons, for the best possible result, it is better to turn to a professional. He will help you choose the best haircut for any hair length. Although I would like to note that most often the "cascade" is done on medium and short hair with a split ends.

The hairstyle has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of a cascading haircut include the following:

• the ability to hide the imperfections of the face oval (large cheeks, excessively protruding cheekbones);
• relief and revitalization of heavy thick hair (they lie magnificently, not sticking to the head);
• visual rejuvenation of the face, hiding wrinkles;
• correction of split ends.

This haircut has several disadvantages. They primarily concern the structure of the hair. You cannot do without a professional when creating such a hairstyle for curly hair. In order for the haircut to fit well, the master must carefully and correctly calculate each step.

You can make a "cascade" on such hair, but there are some peculiarities that only a qualified and experienced hairdresser can take into account.

The cascade haircut is suitable for girls with different hair types. They can be as follows:

• straight;
• slightly wavy;
• strongly curly.

And also the haircut goes well with various face shapes.

It should be noted that any hairstyle goes well with the oval shape. Owners of this face shape have a wide variety of haircut options that can be constantly changed. With the help of a "cascade", for example, you can get additional volume on the sides, which helps to make the face more proportional by slightly expanding it. When the face is round or rectangular, the "cascade" will help to slightly extend its outline and hide a wide chin. And also the hairstyle perfectly hides too large cheeks or prominent cheekbones.

Since this hairstyle has a large number of variations, professionals recommend using certain types of haircuts to correct various shortcomings. So, with wide cheekbones, a ragged type of haircut is used. Fashionistas whose face has features narrowed downwards should take a closer look at the graduated version of the "cascade". This approach will help to visually expand the cheekbones. However, the graduation should end higher than the beginning of the chin line.

There are peculiarities of performing such a haircut, and depending on the type of hair.

• Girls with coarse thick hair experts do not advise doing this haircut, since the severity of the strands will prevent the necessary curling of the ends. In this case, the form does not hold and all the charm of the "cascade" disappears. Instead, incorrectly lying curls will create an impression of shapelessness and neglect. But there is a way out for girls with such hair. You can consider an option like a frozen cascade. Such a haircut does not imply adding volume to the hair and curling the ends. When working, the specialist simply makes the strands torn from the bottom.

• Things are quite different with curly hair. Their structure is light in itself and a fluffy haircut is great for her. But there are several nuances here. Only soft hair with large curls is simply styled. It will be easier to stretch them out and give the tips the necessary direction. If the curls are medium, then only an experienced master can correctly perform the haircut, who will take into account the degree of curling and the subsequent change in the length of the strands after washing and drying.

• As for small curls, which resemble a perm, the "cascade" is not recommended for them at all. This will make the hair just stick out in different directions, creating unnecessary volume. The work of the master (the form of the hairstyle) will be practically invisible. Therefore, making a "cascade" into small curls is impractical.

It will help to reduce the forehead and correct the shape of the face. By the way, by choosing the right type of bangs, you can easily create a new image without changing the usual shape of the "cascade". Today bangs are one of the trends that women of fashion are actively using.

There are certain options for bangs for girls with different types of faces.

• If it's round, then oblique bangs are fine. It will help to slightly narrow the shape of the face and lengthen it.
• When the face is already elongated, it is better to resort to long thick straight bangs. She will help create the right balance. At the same time, the face will not look too thin.
• In the case when the face shape has a classic oval type, there is an opportunity to experiment not only with a haircut, but also with the look of a bang. It can be as follows:
  • triangular;
  • torn;
  • shortened;
  • arcuate;
  • asymmetrical;
  • divided.

As mentioned earlier, there are many varieties of cascading haircuts for medium hair with bangs. There are several main types of cascade in shape.

A double cascade is considered one of the most popular options for a woman's hairstyle. The peculiarity of this haircut is that the hair is cut in levels not only in the area framing the face, but also over the entire head. This technique allows you to create the additional volume that girls crave. In the resulting hairstyle, all the strands have different lengths and thicknesses, which creates an interesting multi-stage composition.

When performing this haircut for medium hair, there are nuances. So, it is important not to overdo it with short layers in the back of the head, which will make the strands around the face sparse.

It is also important that there are two levels, which will be clearly traced. The first is short. He frames his face. The second is long. It is located at the back and creates the required length. Due to the different lengths of the strands, this hairstyle requires careful daily styling, which takes quite a lot of time, so it is not recommended for busy girls to do it.

A graded or ragged cascade is characterized by the creation of both smooth and abrupt transitions. This is a haircut, the charm of which lies in the contrast of the short top of the hair and the lower ends of different lengths. The hairstyle is suitable for girls who want to create a daring modern look.

This haircut has many variations.

It can be as follows:

• with a large difference in the length of individual curls;
• with different types of bangs;
• just with sharp, clear tips (more everyday option);
• with long curls at the back of the head and short at the temples and crown.

A more democratic option is a frozen or direct cascade. Its distinctive feature is the creation of steps only in the lower part of the strands, which allows you to emphasize the natural shape of the face and crown, since the master does not make any cuts in these areas. That is why this option is suitable for coarse hair and regular facial features. And also it is worth paying attention to this haircut for conservative girls who prefer naturalness.

The elongated cascade will help add romance and femininity to the image. It differs from other types in that the hair is not cut only at the top of the head. The shortened strands start from the middle of the head. This hairstyle significantly changes the appearance, while it does not require lengthy styling. After washing your hair, you only need a hairdryer and a round brush.

So, it is combined with the following options for bangs:

• short;
• elongated;
• long.

Framing strands and torn bangs make the face shape visually narrower. At the same time, the jawline looks smooth and soft. To give more volume to the bangs, it is recommended to comb it slightly and sprinkle with varnish. You can also use a large curling iron. The cascade looks good with elongated or long bangs, which can only slightly step over the eyebrows or completely cover the eyes. Such options make it possible to pin her into buns or style her if necessary. But more often the bangs are worn on one side.

For a cascade haircut, craftsmen most often use either scissors or a razor. A more common option is a scissor haircut, in which it is necessary to take into account such basic nuances as:

• it is necessary to perform a haircut only with a high-quality sharp tool;
• before work, you need to moisturize your hair (they should not be too wet and not too dry);
• thinning scissors are used to give the necessary shape to the tips.

Careful preparation of tools helps to maintain the desired shape of the hairstyle in the future. In addition, the hair at the ends will not split. Moisturizing is also of great importance, as it helps to avoid splitting of hair after a haircut. Since the cascade is a stepped hairstyle, each new layer of hair should be clearly separated from the previous one. Previously, this haircut was started from the area on the neck, but modern masters have made some changes to this technique. There are options in which the hair at the crown is cut very short. Further haircuts are performed based on this short length.

Each technique has a scheme in several stages. In the classic version of the haircut, the so-called control strand is taken at the back of the head. Then the remaining hair is divided into rows in the horizontal direction and, focusing on the control, cut them in turn. In this case, the hairdresser moves in the direction from the back of the head to the forehead. The bangs are cut last. In the modern version, the main strand is isolated at the crown and cut to the required length. Most often, the bridge of the nose becomes a landmark. The remaining hair is also divided into strands. They are alternately pulled towards the face and cut to the size of the main one.

After the main haircut has been completed, you can start working with thinning scissors. This process is nothing more than thinning the strands. This is necessary in order for the hair to acquire lightness, volume and smooth transitions. If the cascade is ragged, then this procedure will help to emphasize the clarity and sharpness of the lines.

Such adjustment of the cascade shape can be performed not only with scissors, but also with a razor. However, it can be used strictly on wet hair, while scissors are used on dry and damp curls. This procedure is performed not once, but several times.

In the first case, without daily washing, the hair will still not keep its shape, and in the second, the volume will be too large. With too thin hair, thinning is carried out only 1-2 times, since more repetitions can lead to the opposite effect - a decrease in volume. At the same time, thinning on wavy and heavy hair sets the necessary direction for the ends of the curls and makes the hairstyle easier.

Separately, it is necessary to disassemble the asymmetrical cascade for medium hair with bangs.

The haircut is also performed in several stages. First, they cut from the back using the classic technique. Then the control strand is measured on one side, the hair is cut just under it. Then the same procedure is performed on the other side, but the length is taken larger (or smaller). This type of haircut is most often preferred by girls. She is great for creating a bully look. However, older women also pay attention to the haircut and use it to get a youthful look.

A graduated cascade is created as follows:

• first, the hair under the bangs is pinned invisible;
• determined with the minimum hair length, measure it at the crown and cut off a strand of the desired size;
• then divide the remaining hair into strands and cut them, applying to the control;
• in the process of cutting, the strands are trimmed in the vertical direction;

• further, the hair around the face and on the temples is cut with a ladder;
• and finally, you can cut the bangs of the desired size and shape;
• the last one is thinning all curls.

A double cascade is a rather complicated hairstyle, since it is two in one: a square and a long haircut. It can be done in several ways. It depends more on the condition of the ends, since the techniques differ by cutting the length of a part of the hair. In the first case, it is performed based on the length of the short part, in the second, it is not performed at all. That is, it is possible to keep the original hair length and get a new look.

It is impossible not to mention the ragged cascade. This is a haircut that can transform girls with heavier, straight hair. A feature of this type of hairstyle is the same length of hair on the crown and bangs. In this case, at the back of the head, the hair is cut in the form of a torn line. And around the face, the strands are cut shorter, but also creating torn edges.

In order for a cascade haircut to look properly, it is necessary to take into account the basic rules for its styling. The key points in its creation are reliable fixation of the ends and giving volume to the haircut. Based on the cascade, you can make several hairstyles.

The average hair length of this haircut and the presence of bangs will help diversify the appearance, create not only beautiful curls at the ends and along the entire length, but also a classic bun, as well as careless styling with a side parting. In order to make everyday styling, you must adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

1. dry the previously washed hair with a hairdryer so that the volume is maximized; this effect is achieved when drying with the head bent down;
2. then you can apply a small amount of gel or mousse to the ends; such additional fixation helps to give structure to the haircut;
3. at the last stage, additional volume is created at the roots using a hair dryer;
4. for better fixation, it will be useful to sprinkle hair with varnish at the base.

To create an evening hairstyle with a casual effect, you should adhere to the following sequence:

1. hair is moistened with styling foam and dried with a hairdryer using a round brush;
2. long strands are twisted inward, and short ones outward;
3. To create extra volume, you can lightly comb the hair of the horses.

To form a solemn hairstyle, an elongated cascade can be assembled into a classic smooth bun, having previously pulled out the hair with an iron.And you can use a more complex design. To create it, you need to follow these steps:

1. it is necessary to wind the hair on curlers using a modeling agent;
2. then you need to dry them with a hairdryer and untangle;
3. further, the hair near the face and on the crown is collected in a light tail, without tightening for additional volume above the bangs, and pinned with invisibility in the area of ​​the crown, while the lower layers remain loose in the form of curls;
4. such a hairstyle can be decorated with a hairpin with rhinestones, which will complement the festive bow.

So, you need to carefully monitor the cleanliness of your hair. If the strands become oily, then when applying the fixing compounds, the hair will be even more untidy and will not be able to keep the desired shape. With regard to styling products, it is better to use a light foam. Frequent application of hairspray will make the hair look heavy and reduce its volume. It is also important to use a soft brush to model the hairstyle. She makes the curls more magnificent, does not press them to the head. Laying movements should be directed upward from the roots, while the brush is placed on the inside of the strand.

For a layered hairstyle like a cascade, an ombre dyeing technique is a great additional touch that will add zest to the hairstyle. It involves a smooth transition from a dark shade at the roots to a lighter shade at the tips. This option not only looks natural, but also perfectly emphasizes the levels of the haircut. This haircut in combination with ombre allows you to achieve the following goals:

• emphasizes complexion, eyes, helps to soften rough features;
• makes the haircut more prominent;
• has a rejuvenating effect;
• visually increases volume (if the hair is thin);
• looks modern and fashionable.

For a cascade on medium hair with bangs, a multitonal ombre is best suited. To create it, several colors are used that are close to each other in tone. Most often, two basic shades and 3-4 intermediate shades are used. Toning with several shades of the same color is acceptable.

Such complex stains are also popular, such as:

• highlighting;
• blonding;
• shatush;
• balayazh;
• highlighting individual strands.

Selective highlighting of strands is popular among girls who are not afraid of experimenting with color. So, a cascade of dark hair can be diluted with red, purple, blue strands, which perfectly emphasize the presence of several levels in the haircut. A ragged cascade will look most impressive.

Techniques such as shatush and balayazh will give the hair a natural look, as it mimics sun-bleached hair. It helps to make the face more delicate and feminine. Curled curls add a romantic touch. As for highlighting, it also rejuvenates the image. But here it must be remembered that simple highlighting of the strands is already out of fashion. For a modern look, additional hair toning is needed, which makes the transitions of light shades smoother. Cascade is a great haircut that suits most girls and allows you to create different looks.
