Characteristics
Regardless of the structure and type of hair, every woman will find a suitable haircut option for herself. If they are in impeccable condition, then long, even strands in the shape of a triangle will emphasize their beauty, shine, strength, and when they are damaged, ladies opt for a graduated haircut. Consider certain features of the hairstyle and the conditions for its creation.
- Face shape: any. Combines with milled, straight, elongated and asymmetrical bangs.
- Age: any. A woman who chooses such a hairstyle can carry out any activity without violating the protocol of receptions and official meetings.
- Hair type: any. If thin porous hair is trimmed using the multilevel graduation technique with "hot" scissors, it will acquire density and splendor. Having made, in addition to the haircut, a colored, classic ombre or balayage, you do not have to emphasize the volume with daily styling, applying gel or varnish to the curls.There are no restrictions on the choice of thinning technique on cuts and along the entire length, if the curls are thick and hard. With "fox tail", hair is laminated and straightened using keratin.

Execution technology
There are two main variations of the fox tail haircut for medium hair. The first is traditional, that is, the hairdresser makes a cascade at the very ends, giving the hair the appearance of a triangle. The second is a layered haircut, where strands of different lengths are cut closer to the tip. It is made for girls with wavy and straight hair that is devoid of volume.
Haircuts are usually straightforward for hairdressers. They do it quickly, trying to avoid flaws that the client will not like. At home, it is rarely performed, because it is difficult to repeat the symmetry of the strands - the cut should be the same on both sides. Since the hair is not too long, improperly trimmed strands will be noticeable.
Traditional DIY haircut:
- hair is washed or moistened with water from a spray bottle;
- the hairstyle is formed starting from the shortest strands of the face;
- cut the hair backwards, making it longer step by step.

DIY layered haircut:
- as in the first case, the hair is soaked;
- then divide them into three parts, fixing each on the head with hairpins;
- cut each part separately.
Interesting ideas
If a woman has thick and heavy hair, it lacks airiness and volume, the "fox tail" is done after a haircut cascade. They form a control strand on each side, and cut them along the entire length, pulling them up as much as possible. Because of this, the top layer, strands near the face and crown are short, and longer strands will form in the back.
Then they make a V-edging to create the maximum resemblance to the tail of a fox.

For retro styling, the tips are sculpted with a round brush and rolled inward. However, this styling is not suitable for girls who prefer a modern style of clothing.
Well, with the fox tail haircut, balayazh or shatush coloring is combined. When choosing any of these hair coloring techniques, it is important to make a smooth transition from one shade to another. They are more suitable for blondes who want to look natural.Thanks to these techniques, you can create the effect of sun-bleached hair. Balayazh and shatush are "gentle" methods of coloring, as they lighten only some strands.

Do you need a bang?
"Fox tail" goes well with bangs. If a woman has a high forehead, an elongated face and straight hair, bangs are made without hesitation, and they achieve even greater originality in appearance. If the hair length allows, opt for a careless milled bangs. Due to the fact that she looks "ragged", the image is more playful and fresh.
If a girl has curly or straight hair, a rounded or elongated face, and she does not mind daily styling, the bangs are made as long as possible. Subsequently, it is laid, fixing with varnish or gel. Such bangs are recommended for owners of medium-length hair, devoid of volume. But it doesn't matter if there are no bangs.
Its absence simplifies the styling process, opens the girl's face and demonstrates its natural attractiveness.

A fox tail haircut is not recommended for women whose hair is naturally curly. The only way to trim it this way is to pull it out with an iron, but on heavily curly hair, the fox-tail effect will be subtle.
