Haircuts "under the pot": features, tips for selection and styling

It is enough to recall the heroes of Russian fairy tales to imagine a haircut, which is unromantic called "under the pot". They were worn by males, and it was carried out exactly along the edge of the cap. Similar hats adorned the heads of men in the Middle Ages, when uniformity was the motto. Then the hairstyle lost its relevance until the 60s of the XX century and returned, including in the female variation. A short, laconic haircut has become one of the ways to achieve equality for women.

Today, thanks to the return of geometry fashion, this haircut is experiencing a new peak in popularity. Not only women's, but also children's haircuts of similar forms are relevant.

A haircut "under the pot" is also called a "hat". It looks quite strict in the classical interpretation, and has the following distinctive features:

• a straight line of bangs in the eyebrow area;
• a voluminous "head" of hair is located in the areas of the occiput, crown, and crown;
• the rear view makes it possible to see the neck in all its glory, since it is assumed that it should be as open as possible;
• length can be medium or short;
• it is possible to perform both open and closed versions of the design of the temples;
• the bangs can go into cuts that cover the ears;
• the face is quite clearly highlighted, as if it is in the frame of the strands;
• a thick type of bangs can correct facial features, hide age-related changes;
• it is important to consider the type of strands and face when choosing a version of a given haircut.

Modern hairdressing makes it possible to interpret this hairstyle to suit your individual characteristics and tastes.A shaved bottom, sideburns, a raised mass of strands or elongated - there are quite enough versions, especially since modern dyeing methods are able to add real drive and chic to the composition: bright shades, coloring.

There are several basic variations of the "potty" haircut.

• Classic. It is this option that we most often see in children. The cut of such a hairstyle is even, the lines are smooth, ideal, however, it is permissible to include ragged bangs in the composition. At the same time, it can be diagonal, which increases the number of suitable types. In the occipital area (just below the cut), excess strands are shaved off. The parting can be located in the center or be lateral.

• Asymmetry. This variation meets the latest fashion trends; in a similar hairstyle, asymmetrical lines can be made in the form of a torn cut, which should be moderately sloppy. If your strands do not differ in thickness, then this type will be more suitable. Asymmetrical strands can be present in the design of sideburns, bangs. The main thing is not to use all asymmetrical lines at once and make them as smooth as possible.

• Elongation. Such a pot is slightly "in tune" with the haircut of a bob, only much shorter, and the length of the strands around the circumference is absolutely equal. A short bang can be knocked out of the general composition, its cut should be slightly higher. A great move - shaved strands below the cut line. Such a clearly executed bright haircut will suit only perfectly oval faces.

• Glam rock, or minimalism. It is carried out in an ultra-short version, which can be supplemented with torn strands, straight cut or asymmetrical. A shaved bottom is required, an oval shape is preferable. This version is suitable only for those who, after a few days, are ready to go for a correction, since it is often necessary to shave the regrown strands.

• Originality. As a rule, in this version we find bright colors, monochrome or complex. Red-orange colors, blue, pink, yellow are especially popular this season. You can select partly strands in the bangs or throughout the entire mass of hair. The main condition for a harmonious image is measure. Even the brightest, catchy image must be kept within certain limits.

Most often, this hairstyle is recommended for children under the age of three. Strands during this period of life are heterogeneous in length and structure, too thin, often confused. In addition, it is necessary that the child's head looks neat, well-groomed, but simple. The more the strands get tangled, the shorter the "pot" version should be.

At the kindergarten age, you can continue to perform such a haircut, if the child does not mind, but at school it is better to give it up. It is unlikely that a child himself will want to look like a toddler in this difficult period of growing up. In addition to this reason, stylists highlight other disadvantages of such a haircut at school age, for example, loss of strands. The best option is a classic short haircut.

The modern female potty hairstyle is not as strict as its previous versions. However, even the trendiest version has both advantages and disadvantages. Before making your choice in favor of such a haircut, you need to weigh the pros and cons. The real highlight of the "hat" haircut is the combination of masculine motives and feminine attractiveness. It should at least match your face shape, style and lifestyle.

The advantages of stylists include:

• relevance, modernity of the image with such a haircut;
• practicality (if you correctly assessed your strand features, styling will not be difficult);
• the ability to emphasize facial features;
• can be used both in the male variation, and in the female, children's;
• she will give youth to men, she will provide a neat image for children, girls will look bold, sexy;
• no age restrictions;
• the volume at the crown visually stretches the silhouette.

Among the disadvantages are the following:

• does not fit the “circle” and “square” types, as it visually expands the face;
• the "pot" does not require complex daily styling, but the master will have to be visited frequently (for correction);
• not suitable for wavy strands - performed only on straight lines;
• if the hair type is determined incorrectly, daily fixation with the use of styling products will be necessary;
• such a hairstyle should be avoided by overweight people, those who do not have bright facial imperfections, otherwise they will be exposed;
• there are restrictions on the style, since the "pot" does not fit into every image.

Like any other hairstyle, the "pot" is selected based on the structure of the strands, facial features.

The length of the strands can be short, the longer version is suitable for medium hair. Do not experiment with these types of haircuts for those with curls. This is theoretically possible, but installation will be very difficult and time-consuming. Stylists recommend doing such a haircut for those who have obedient straight strands. It will not be time consuming. If the hair is fluffy, then daily straightening and fixing will be necessary.

Round and square faces are excluded: their haircut will make them even wider. Strictly speaking, the "pot" is recommended only for owners of the "oval" face type. Since the features will be exposed as much as possible, you should not risk those who have them rough, prominent, for example, a large or long nose. But the subtle features of the "pot" will emphasize very effectively. A narrow nose, beautifully set large eyes, soft lines will look harmonious in the frame of such a haircut.

The main limitation when choosing a children's haircut "under the pot" is the absence of curly strands and bangs that do not close the eyes. If the strands are prone to tangling, it is better to choose a shorter version. A children's haircut should be as comfortable and neat as possible, only if these requirements are met, you can choose what goes with the child. On the baby's head, the laconic geometry looks just fine, especially since the care for the haircut is minimal.

If your strands are thick enough and lie flat, you won't need much styling effort. The main thing is to correct the master's hairstyle in time, so that the form does not lose its effectiveness. The main purpose of this type of haircut is straightening, creating the impression of absolutely smooth strands.

Strands can be styled even with your hands, it is so easy to achieve a fashionable casual effect. It is enough to take a little gel and treat the strands with it along the entire length. Then dry with a hair dryer, along the way creating the shape and volume that you want to achieve. Another effective way to emphasize the structure of a haircut is to highlight individual strands with wax.

In the event that you decide to make a similar haircut, being the owner of wavy strands, be prepared for daily use of the iron.

Shiny, sleek hair and well-styled bangs can add boyish charm to any right face. The main thing is to really assess the features of the type.

Fashionable lightening of the strands in the area of ​​the cap will give the “pot” lightness, dynamism and relevance. This hairstyle goes especially well with the sporty chic style.

The beanie of the strands can cover the ears, which makes it possible to correct the facial features.

Lovers of shocking can afford luxurious coloring. It is important to choose the right shades for the original color of the strands: they should be in harmony with each other.

Strands of different lengths give the hairstyle expressiveness, showiness. Such an image will surely be striking.

The splendor of the asymmetry further emphasizes the precise geometry of the haircut.

Children's haircut can also be modern - just show a little imagination.
