Peculiarities
Women's haircuts, with all their diversity, have certain canonical methods, on which all experiments and fantasies are based. One of these haircuts is a cascade with bangs.
This method is based on a stepped transition, alternating strands of different lengths. In the region of the crown, the strands are shortened, they become longer downward. However, there are different variations of the cascade, it can start not at the top of the head, but much lower, or be carried out closer to the ends. Also, do not confuse the cascade with a ladder. The main characteristic feature of the cascade is a torn texture, the shortening of the strands is chaotic. This gives the hairstyle a feeling of lightness, well-groomed carelessness.
Only an experienced professional should be entrusted with the performance of such a haircut. It is impossible to do it yourself, besides, a specialist will help you choose the ideal length and shape for your face type.

- perfectly rounds the face, therefore, with elongated forms, it is irreplaceable;

- increases the volume of strands;
- there are a lot of styling options, most of them are simple;
- great for wavy curls;
- gives effect, femininity and expressiveness to the image;

Disadvantages:

Who is it suitable for?
Choosing any hairstyle should start with determining whether it suits your individual face and lifestyle or not. Stylists believe that a haircut of this kind goes to almost any type. However, do not forget that the main purpose of the hairstyle is not only not to emphasize the shortcomings, but also to hide them, highlighting the advantages as much as possible. Therefore, the shape should be selected individually so that the features are corrected correctly, the eyes become more expressive.
If your face is oval or slightly elongated, this is your win-win option, because the cascade adds volume from the sides, which is not always desirable for round and square types. A narrow face will become more proportional, especially if you prefer a graduated cascade look.
Keep in mind that too wide cheekbones or pronounced defects are offset by a torn haircut.
Who definitely should not experiment with cascades is the owner of the strands of an overly hard type, very thick. Shortened curls will cause difficulties when styling, the ends will stick out, turn out, without curling, respectively, the hairstyle will not have a shape. However, there is a way to cut hair here too - this is a cascade of the "frozen" type. At the same time, the main length remains unchanged, the work is carried out with the tips, which are given the appearance of torn.
For curly curls, the cascade is recommended like no other. It is the wavy strands that look more natural and easy in a cascading hairstyle. There is also a nuance here - the curls should be obedient, easy to fit, otherwise too tight curls will hide the beauty of the cascade and it will simply not be visible.
Varieties
A cascading haircut has many variations, this variety can be especially rich due to the bangs: long, straight, sideways, torn.
Main types:
- a classic type cascade can be performed on both long and medium strands;

- the middle cascade is the most versatile type that suits almost everyone.
The cascade is most often performed with bangs, and it can be either thick or highly graduated, diagonally and completely straight. Which type of haircut to choose, with lengthened or shortened bangs, is determined by the type of face. A high forehead, a long nose and too small features will be hidden by straight short bangs.
