Ladies, choosing their hairstyle, tend to constantly look for something new, surprising others with a new stylish way, and hairdressers strive to meet them halfway, offering more and more new hairstyles. A relatively recent invention that quickly became fashionable was the sesson haircut, and although it is worn all over the world, it still did not have time to become boring. Therefore, for the originality of the image or to emphasize some specific features of the appearance, this is exactly what you need.

Peculiarities
One of the main reasons why sesson has not yet become truly widespread is the complexity of its implementation. In fact, it is a bang that smoothly turns into an occipital lengthening, which is why it could be called a kind of classic "hat". This is one of the few hairstyles whose author is well known - it was Vidal Sassoon, a famous stylist-innovator, whose main innovations date back to the second half of the last century.
As is often the case, a hairstyle does not become really popular until a certain well-recognized celebrity appears who has decided to "advertise" the image for free. In the case of the sesson, such an impetus was given by Mireille Mathieu, who, at least in Europe, does not need any introduction.

Sesson is a multi-layered haircut suitable for hair of any length except long. A particular difficulty lies in the painstaking work, since the contour of the hairstyle must be seen very clearly, and for this the master has to do a delicate job, processing each smallest strand separately in order to maintain a well-defined angle.The outlines of the haircut are characterized by smoothness, there is no place for sharp turns and excesses. The bangs are present, its outlines are also gently curved, the lower edge is usually also slightly curled inward so that the ends of the hair are not visible.

Like most other hairstyles, sesson tends to react to current fashion trends and partially adapt to their requirements. At the same time, as befits a new invention, the characteristics of the haircut are spelled out quite clearly, therefore any significant deviation from the classical standard turns this hairstyle into something else.
Advantages and disadvantages
Having appeared relatively recently, sesson found a response in the souls of many fashionistas, which clearly indicates certain advantages of such a haircut. At the same time, a certain wave of craze for this hairstyle was not noted, which means that there are also certain drawbacks. Choosing a style for yourself, you should definitely first ask all the pros and cons, which we will do.
One of the main advantages of this hairstyle is considered to be its versatility. Sesson does not put forward special requirements for a girl who is suitable for such a hairstyle, for example, she can be both oval and round or any other face. There are also no age restrictions: such styling is considered appropriate both in young years and in adulthood.
If the haircut is done correctly, it does not imply any specific care - the very shape of the hair is selected so that it automatically lays down in the correct order.

Due to the gradual lengthening of the hair, such a hairstyle seems to be quite voluminous, therefore it suits well even those girls who cannot boast of a truly impressive head of hair. Sesson does not require a specific hair color. It is generally accepted that atypical shades accentuate this hairstyle better, but this does not mean that classic tones are inappropriate. Due to some flexibility in the rules for performing such a haircut, it is allowed to focus on the appearance of a particular customer. At the same time, sesson is usually suitable for aristocratic, sophisticated images, therefore it does not suit any clothes, but it will definitely not spoil expensive and fashionable ones.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. The first and foremost among them is the need to find a truly skillful master, since a simple hairdresser from the nearest barber shop will not cope well with the task. This means that you will have to spend a lot of time and money to create a hairstyle, and the clarity of smooth lines is possible only if you trim the ends at least once a month and a half. In addition, the sesson, although it does not require a complex styling procedure, still does not provide for a single way to beautifully collect loose hair, and with a significant length, such a hairstyle often interferes with normal life.

Who is it suitable for?
For all its versatility, this haircut still presupposes different compatibility with individuals: it suits someone more, while someone else should abandon it altogether.
Most often, such a haircut is recommended for women who have a keen sense of style and need it, but at the same time do not have the opportunity to spend time putting themselves in order. Sesson allows you to simply beat the washed hair with your bare hands and dry it in any way - that's the whole styling procedure, which does not require unnecessary effort. Apart from regular visits to the stylist, this haircut can be considered extremely easy to maintain.

If we talk about the type of face, then a haircut is suitable for almost everyone, and it is much easier to name exceptions. There was only one thing: it is undesirable to choose sesson for those women whose face shape is noticeably approaching a round one, since a significant lateral volume of hair will further aggravate the situation.
There are no special requirements for hair length either, except for very long ones, but it is generally accepted that the haircut looks best on short hair. This is logical: since the session was created in order to simplify the care of the hair as much as possible, you should not be surprised that it goes well with shortening it. The short hairstyle adds visual lightness without negating any of the above benefits.
Absolutely all varieties of sesson cover their ears, and most species do this entirely (not even the lobes are visible from the outside). If a girl, for any reason, fair or far-fetched, is shy about her ears, it is the sesson that can become her salvation, since the "weak point" will be reliably protected from prying eyes. The hairstyle, even theoretically, does not imply the collection of hair in a ponytail, which means that situations when the ears still turn out to be open simply will not arise.

The original version of this haircut is considered one of the best in order to look aristocratic and majestic even in old age. Firstly, sesson looks much more modern than most "senile" hairstyles, and therefore, for this reason, it seems to rejuvenate the image. Secondly, rather long bangs cover most of the forehead, and this is where the focus of wrinkles is usually observed - and this also adds points to the rejuvenating effect. The notorious "noble old age" can look like that precisely because of such a haircut.
As a rule, sesson is perceived as a hairstyle for straight hair, but in fact curly hair, small curls or notes of negligence are allowed. Another thing is that classic curls or well-visible curls are completely incompatible with this hairstyle: they simply will not lie and will constantly break the given shape, while the advantage of the original concept was the absence of the need for regular styling.

Varieties of haircuts
True professionals distinguish several varieties of sesson, although a person without a trained eye could not always immediately determine what is the difference between the two types. We will not delve into the finest details, but we will consider in a little more detail the two most common hairstyle options, focused on medium hair with the possibility of a slight deviation in length.

Classic
The original version of the women's haircut, invented by the same Vidal Sassoon, did not imply anything like clear gradients. The length of the hair, of course, is not the same in different parts of the head, but there should not even be a semblance of the sharpness of the transition - the master cuts almost every hair by a millimeter, since this is the only way to achieve perfect smoothness of the transition. Accordingly, the slightest mistake means that the haircut is ruined - all the work will have to start over.
The classic haircut model is inextricably linked with bangs, because without it you simply cannot get a continuous smooth line without sharp turns and bends. Actually, it is the combination of bangs and an elongated back of the head through a smooth transition that makes the sesson an original hairstyle, because any attempt to abandon this detail turns the haircut into a more familiar classic version, for example, in a bob or square.

In the most classical sense, sesson assumes the smoothness of the lines, including on the bangs, however, modern stylists, in attempts to create something of their own and not focus on generally accepted rules, constantly make certain changes to the design of the haircut. Today, a prerequisite is simply the presence of some kind of bangs, and it is no longer so important what form it takes.
Thanks to this, you can find specific options for hairstyles with oblique or asymmetrical, shortened or even elongated bangs, and all this is often served with a "classic" sauce.On the other hand, clients in the hands of a skilled craftsman usually do not complain, because all these deviations from the rules are often created in order to take into account the peculiarities of the customer's appearance in the smallest details, and this is also an undoubted plus for originality and uniqueness.

Graded
As is often the case with complex things, mass demand forces the creators to experiment intensively with simplifying the product, which is why it often loses all its original properties and can only look similar to the original. Something similar happened with sesson - although the fundamental requirement for the classics was a continuous smooth line, as if in one movement outlining the entire head, today the same term is used to refer to hairstyles, the technique of which involves graduation.
For the master, performing a haircut of this type is already much easier, because there are no more perfectly smooth lines, and it would be necessary to adhere to the approximate contours when performing any ordinary haircut. And if so, many stylists decide to decorate what was once called sesson with slightly ragged edges, due to which minor flaws in terms of imperfectly maintained lines are no longer so striking.

Regardless of how this hairstyle should be called, many clients like it.
- Firstly, for all its deviations from classical standards, it no longer requires perfectly lying hair - the visibility of a slight mess is allowed, which is quite normal with wavy hair.
- Secondly, the classical sesson often looks too prim - its graduated version cannot be compared with it in aristocracy, but it seems both lighter and more romantic.
- Thirdly, this hairstyle option, due to the simpler execution technique, can be done in any beauty salon, which means that the cost will not be so high. With all this, the haircut still remains beautiful and pretends to be fashionable, and most importantly, it subtly resembles a session, although, in fact, it is not.
The absence of traced outlines with maximum clarity somewhat reduces the responsibility for the regular alignment of the ends, but even such a simplified type of hairstyle should be monitored in a timely manner in order to avoid loss of shape.
