Haircut cascade with bangs for short hair

Cascade is a modern haircut that is always in great demand. The cascade gained its popularity back in the 80s, and thanks to its sexuality, playfulness and versatility, it remains the favorite of a large number of fashionistas to this day. This hairstyle is famous for an impressive number of models and variations in performance, but in this article, it is the short cascade with bangs that will be considered.

The main characteristic of this hairstyle is the technique of performing by alternating strands of different lengths, using thinning scissors or a razor (mostly used by professionals): short strands on the crown smoothly turn into longer ones, forming "hair steps" as they approach the back of the head. Thus, the hair gains volume and lightness.

Some of the main features of the cascade are:

• it is not subject to mandatory styling - slight negligence is a kind of zest of this image, and in those cases where styling is required, it is done very simply;
• you can easily hide facial flaws, divert attention from them, directing it to profitable areas;
• versatility - the cascade is suitable for any age, face type and hair structure;
• in harmony with any image - without much effort, you can turn an everyday version into a business or solemn one;
• gives volume to any hair thanks to its layering.

There are several types of cascade for short hair.

The characteristic straight forms of this cascade are obtained by a gentle transition of steps (without clear cutoffs). The hairstyle as a whole looks neat, with a dose of elegance and aristocracy.

Will make any woman spectacular and mysterious. A bold choice for avant-garde fashionistas. This hairstyle rejuvenates and refreshes. Each strand is cut at an acute angle, the top of the head is formed by a "hedgehog", the total volume - in steps. An asymmetric cascade, in addition to the above, also assumes a different length of curls on each side of the face, their alternation along the entire length and the presence of sharp feathers.

The highlight of this cascade lies in the harmonious transition of the ladder, which gives accuracy to the whole image. This haircut, which is created with the help of skillful thinning scissors, creates a stunning waterfall effect on the hair.

Rather short hair is taken as a base. The main task is to give the ideal shape to the head through a smooth transition to the neck, starting from the back of the head.

It is formed by steps throughout the head of hair, including whiskey. Light layers of strands in the crown area give the hair a splendor, making the overall look more neat, and the hair - voluminous.

This stage has a smaller step size than other varieties. This means that the hair transitions will be smoother. The ends are profusely filled.

A distinctive feature of this model is in the original design of the back of the head. You can also add an emphasis on creating fluffiness in the crown and cheekbones, along with a sophisticated cut line. Suitable for any hair, including curly hair. Modern women of fashion - supporters of this type of cascade - often use elements of shaving the neck part of the back of the head or temples with the addition of a stencil haircut. A flawless experience is guaranteed.

A cascade on short hair is a salvation for owners of thin hair. It adds volume and thickness to the hair. The graduated, Italian and "with a lush crown" cascade copes with this task especially well.

By adding this detail to a haircut, you can correct almost any face shape. Indeed, a short cascade in tandem with a bang can work wonders, and the masters provide a whole palette of different models and techniques for this. Each detail of the hairstyle is selected individually.

In this case, we mean the option up to the eyebrows or slightly lower.

Usually the bottom edge of such a bang reaches the jawline or earlobe. Suitable for almost everyone, but it is especially recommended for owners of a massive lower jaw. Visually narrows the oval of the face. Provides many styling variations.

Draws attention away from small defects. Balances the angles of square and triangular faces. Using the thinning technique, you get light bangs, airy and feminine. If you use only scissors, shaping the bangs with sharp, precise cuts, then the image will come out more clearly.

Thinning plays a decisive role here.It is thanks to her that the hairstyle can look cute and romantic or decisive and extravagant. Often this image is associated with sexuality and some degree of aggressiveness.

It also corrects facial imperfections. It can be short, elongated and milled. The short one corrects the oval of the face, but is more suitable for young women and extravagant personalities.

Mischievous and impudent. It complements extravagant personalities especially well and is widely popular among girls from subcultures, but not only - it is enough to recall the famous French film "Amelie" to understand this subspecies of asymmetrical bangs.

In this version, the bangs act as a continuation of the cascade itself, while having a minimum length at the eyebrows, gradually increasing in length to the temples, eventually turning into the cascade itself.

In fact, the cascade is suitable for almost everyone, but it is especially recommended for women with asymmetrical facial features, since this haircut, properly selected, can smooth out uneven corners and make the face more proportional.

The cascade is highly recommended for girls and women with an oval or elongated face shape: additional volume on the sides will play a good role in its visual expansion, balancing imbalances. With the help of a short cascade, namely with its torn variety, you can slightly mask too wide cheekbones.

For ladies with a narrowed face, a graduated cascade is perfect: with its V-shape, it is able to visually expand the outlines and give the desired volume in the places that require it. In this case, the graduation should not reach the chin itself, but end slightly higher for the result to be flawless. Only an experienced specialist can understand such intricacies of craftsmanship, therefore it is recommended not to save either time or money and look for a good master hairdresser.

The name of the haircut in question is due to its obvious "waterfall" shape. To achieve this result, the curls are divided into zones (parietal and occipital regions, temples on both sides) and cut, relying on the length of the control strand in each of them. But such a brief description of the implementation of this technique is not enough - you need to consider the whole process in more detail in order to know all the subtleties and nuances of creation.

First of all, you should prepare the necessary hairdressing tools, namely:

• scissors: straight and thinning;
• comb with combined teeth: rare and frequent;
• hairpins for clamping excess hair;
• spray apparatus (spray gun).

The hairstyle should be done according to a certain sequence.

1. The hair is divided into zones by part of the comb with sparse teeth, with one parting going through the crown of the head (from ear to ear), and the other in the center (from the forehead to the back of the head).
2. Focusing on the resulting diagonals, a triangular strand will be separated from each zone at the top of the head with a parting. Thus, a rhombus is formed.
3. A control strand is taken, the length of which, as a rule, does not exceed 10–12 cm, and pulled at a right angle (perpendicular to the rest of the part). The rest of the strands are fixed with clamps.
4. The haircut is started from the area on the back of the head. Focusing on the control, other strands are sequentially highlighted diagonally with a step of 1.5 cm. The cut is made blunt, it is performed with straight scissors.
5. In a similar way, strands are separated and cut from the entire head, stretching along their control area. After she is cut and she begins to move to the crown of the head, aligning the rest of the strands.It should be noted that now each subsequent separated curl will already be guided not by the control strand, but by the previous one, achieving the result of “ladder versatility”.
6. Check the correctness of the haircut. To do this, the hair is combed, a tail is made. If the length of all the collected strands is the same, then the cascade is performed correctly.
7. The final stage of work includes thinning the hair (similar to the haircut itself) and edging the strands of the face and bangs.

But, as we have seen, there are different types of this haircut, therefore, the technique involves additional actions depending on the presence of such elements as asymmetry, torn strands, different formation of bangs, etc.

The cascade on short hair opens up almost limitless styling possibilities, allowing you to experiment in creating your own unique image.

• Beanie - the best option for a round face and fine hair. It is performed on clean hair, dried without a hairdryer. Foam is applied to the roots of each strand, then the hair is dried with a hairdryer, twisting the ends inward. The bangs are processed with gel and divided into strands.

• Refined sleekness for an elegant, business-like look. Foam is applied to the roots of clean and dried (no hair dryer) hair. Smoothing with a comb, the hair is dried with a hairdryer. Without parting, the curls are combed from the crown of the head down. At the last stage, the strands are treated with wax.

• Flirtatious negligence - an attractive option for informal communication and in general for everyday life. Foam is applied to clean and not completely dry hair, with the head down. Then, stroking each section with your fingers, remaining in a head-down position, the hair is dried with a hairdryer. With the help of the gel, the image is completed.

• Bouffant - a real find for fine hair: it creates the illusion of volume. After moistening the roots with foam, each strand in turn is lifted and combed. The hairstyle is fixed with varnish.

• Wet hair effect.This option always remains in vogue. You can achieve it using a special gel. The product is applied to dried and already styled hair.

These are just a few of the possible styling options - you can improvise endlessly, using not only a hairdryer, but also an iron, curling iron, etc.

It's no secret that the color is always selected individually, nevertheless, there are universal rules that help you make the right choice. One of these rules says that light shades create a kind of illusion of additional hair volume, rejuvenate the look and emphasize femininity. Dark tones, on the other hand, focus on the outlines of the face and visually narrow the oval.

Natural shades are always a safe bet. You can play with highlighting: it looks spectacular on a cascade, emphasizing the play of steps. Coloring and contrasting of the tips are also recommended.
