The length below the shoulders, despite its versatility, is not suitable for all women. Do not let go of your curls if you have crossed the 40th anniversary. Long hair does not add lightness to the silhouette and makes the image heavier, so it is better if the strands are higher than the shoulders. For young girls, this length is best suited.
In addition to age, it is necessary to pay attention to the type and structure of the hair.
If your strands are thin, your hair is thinned, then the length will emphasize their imperfect condition. All the more ridiculous look elongated options for haircuts on unhealthy, split strands. Visually, unhealthy and thin strands will be saved by multilayer options for elongated haircuts, especially since these techniques perfectly save split hair. Curly curls also require a neat attitude.
Haircuts below the shoulders look best on young women with healthy, straight or wavy, thick hair. A good choice for those whose face is shaped like an oval, a circle, who need to hide the plumpness of the cheeks, the width of the face. However, each individual nuance of the face requires the same individual approach.

With or without bangs?
When choosing women's hairstyles, it is necessary to focus not only on the type of haircut itself, but also on the presence / absence of bangs. Shoulder length haircuts look good with different types of bangs:
- straight;
- diagonal;
- torn;
- thick;
- thin;
- long;
- shortened;
- triangular.

It is the bangs that can give a haircut a unique charm, hide facial flaws, and emphasize advantages. When choosing the type of bangs, you should focus on the type of face and the haircut itself. First, select those types that look good with the chosen hairstyle, then exclude those that flaunt the flaws. For example, straight bangs are great for any haircut, emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes, but not suitable for wavy strands. Slanting bangs are good in almost any performance, except for the page.
Average strand length looks great without bangs... If you do not need to correct imperfections, for example, a forehead that is too high or wrinkles on it, you can choose a hairstyle without bangs. This option is more practical, since it does not require frequent correction from the hairdresser. It is especially good for young ladies, as it emphasizes the oval of the face. Choosing a haircut without bangs is somewhat easier, because there is no need to focus on the type of strands.
Styling such a haircut is elementary, and if the bangs still need to be tidied up, then the hair of medium length can simply be gathered in a ponytail.

Features of choice
Fashionable haircuts just below the shoulders, for all their versatility, require a special approach, taking into account the individual characteristics of each woman. First of all, this is the type of strands and faces.
- Thin strands. Here, first of all, it is necessary to add volume, visually increase the number of curls. Therefore, it is best to pay attention to the layering, asymmetry. All variants of the cascade, bob, square will perfectly cope with these tasks. Graduation and thin bangs would be an excellent option.
- Thick hair. There are much fewer problems here, but they also exist. This type of strand retains the shape of the haircut for quite a long time, does not require additional volume, but too heavy strands need to be lightened. Medium length is just a great way out. Great variations: bob, bob, page, cascade.
- Curly. Here, cascade transitions, a ladder, aurora, an elongated bean are in favor. It is better to refuse bangs, especially if there is no way to spend a lot of time on styling.
- Straight. Smooth strands need volume, which can be achieved with different forms of layering, long bangs, ladders. Good grunge style, bob, cascading variations.

As for the type of face, this is practically the main point for orientation in the variety of hairstyles. No matter how you are disposed towards yourself, you need to soberly assess the pros and cons of the face and choose the best option. Stylists recommend that you take into account the following recommendations:
- Oval face - the most hassle-free, you can choose almost any version of a fashionable hairstyle for it, here it is better to focus on the type of strands, style and age;
- a round face - the main task here is to draw out an oval, they will cope with this perfectly: asymmetry, a raised crown, diagonal bangs, it is worth abandoning straight lines and strict clear forms;
- rectangular face - the main goal here is to soften the oval, hide the corners, so pay attention to the elongated bangs, closed ears, give up vertical cuts;
- triangular face - hide a wide forehead under the bangs and do not focus on the narrowing in the chin area, there should be no volume at the top of the hairstyle, but the curls in the cheekbones will perfectly balance the proportions.
