Technique
With all the seeming simplicity, only an experienced master can make a successful ragged haircut. Especially if it is based on asymmetry. Usually, a haircut is performed in one of two basic techniques, such as:
- cutting hair at right angles (to create pronounced strands);
- thinning or thinning hair with special scissors.

Short
The torn technique is applied to various haircuts: bob, cascade and others, but the favorite length of hairdressers is short, as it allows you to bring to life the most extraordinary ideas. Strands of small length can be set in different ways, and if you are not a fan of experiments, then a torn haircut will still be a winning one for you - you will get a wonderful stylish hairstyle for every day.
In addition to the volume that your hairstyle will receive immediately after cutting, you can enhance this effect with complex coloring. Add highlights or other trendy multicolor dye looks.
Choosing a torn haircut for short hair is necessary taking into account the oval of the face, namely:
- square and round shapes a torn bob will do, it will look especially good with multicolor dyeing;
- triangular shape stylists usually advise making a ragged square;
- oval elongated face it will look more advantageous with an asymmetrical hairstyle with pronounced bangs.

Average
Medium length hair works well for torn haircuts provided that they do not frizz, have a fairly dense structure and sufficient density. The last point is important because when cutting "feathers" hair becomes noticeably less frequent.
If the hair is thin, then after cutting it practically nothing will be left of it. A cascade, a ladder or an elongated square is taken as a basis. Any face is softened and prettier if it is adorned with tapering hair steps, and slanted or straight bangs will enhance this effect.
The cascading haircut "Aurora" is a vivid example of torn haircuts for shoulder-length hair.

Long
To create feathers on long hair, soft, sleek curls are best. However, thin hair is also not a contraindication for "jerk". Typically, the cutting technique for hair of this length is to create a cascade and then cut the steps at right angles. At the same time, hair from the crown of the head can be cut both very short and to the cheekbones. Long hair with ragged edges is not recommended to be dyed in bright colors. According to stylists, it is worth stopping the choice on a natural scale, rare highlighting is allowed to create light accents.
Pulling techniques for hair below the shoulders can be as follows:
- cascading - it harmoniously combines length and volume;
- ladder - is the classic option.

How to choose?
Torn strands look great, but before asking a hairdresser to get yourself such a haircut, you should consult with an experienced image maker. Each girl is unique in nature. What works great for one may look completely ridiculous on another. He will tell you if this hairstyle suits you and whether it will be in harmony with the general style that you prefer.
Usually, short hairstyles in a torn style are chosen by ladies who are not afraid of communication, who love to flirt and be the center of attention. Long hair with a torn edge gives the girl a romantic look. Most often they are made by young women who love to dream and have a heart-to-heart talk. Average hair length is always considered to be universal. It successfully complements the office business style.
If an adult woman makes a "dash", then, undoubtedly, this will help her to throw off a few years, but it is important to observe some conditions: the hair should look well-groomed and not have gray hair.
Stylists recommend dyeing them in the most natural shade, and coloring or highlighting to mask new gray hairs.

An important accent of a woman's torn haircut is the bangs. She can either organically fit into the general concept of a haircut, or stand out against its background with a bright accent. To choose it correctly, pay attention to the shape of your face, namely:
- triangular - round, long bangs will do;
- square - oblique, asymmetrical, as it will smooth out too sharp lines of the face;
- oval - oblique, because due to the transverse lines, it makes it more harmonious;
- long face - bangs with feathers.
Important! There are torn haircuts that don't involve bangs. Long-haired girls with perfect face shape and skin can afford them.

Styling tips
The well-groomed look of any torn haircut depends on how correctly its owner puts it. To do this, you may need hairspray, mousse, gel, wax, clay or hair powder, as well as a hairdryer, brushing and styler. Of course, if a torn hairstyle is too "licked", then it will lose its zest. Most often, short haircuts in this style are tousled. To get tough "needles", hair gel is used.
Better yet, separate them and even sharpen the ends with wax. To lift the hair and make it more voluminous, mousse is applied to the roots.
For the most rebellious thick hair, we can recommend a relatively new styling agent is clay. And for those whose hair, on the contrary, is too thin, it is well suited powder for hair - it makes the hair more voluminous.
It is best to dry the "rag" with a round comb, throwing a strand, direct a stream of air from a hair dryer to it. Curly hair is straightened with an iron and only then styling is carried out. When finished, do not forget to sprinkle it with varnish, otherwise it is unlikely to be able to maintain its shape throughout the day.
If during styling you notice that individual strands begin to fluff, try applying oils or serums to them, then straighten the recalcitrant strands with a styler.
To take care of the "rag", it is advisable to visit the salon twice a month in order to correct the result and give the lines the same clarity.
