Haircut hat: features, varieties and tips for selection

A fashionable hairstyle these days is no longer even one's own desire, but a duty, because a person who clearly does not take care of his appearance will not achieve success in life. At the same time, the intense rhythm of modern life does not always leave an opportunity for caring for long hair, therefore short hairstyles have become popular not only among men, but also among women. One of the most recognizable hairstyles of our time is the "beanie".

For men, a kind of hairstyle "hat" has become popular since time immemorial, and even historians cannot say who and when first came up with such a form factor. As a woman's hairstyle, such styling made its debut relatively recently - for a long time it was believed that haircuts "like a boy" are not suitable for decent women. However, in the 80s of the last century, with the equalization of the gender situation, the fair sex began to increasingly use the “hat” as very convenient for sports exercises, and after a short time it began to be perceived normally in the business environment.

The modern "hat" has many varieties (which we will talk about below), therefore it looks different, depending on the exact execution technology. At the same time, in general, it is customary to cut hair quite short (relative to the classical understanding of the length of women's hair) so that it does not fall below the back of the head and does not hang anywhere. At the same time, on the crown, the hair is left relatively long, due to which it seems to clasp the head by analogy with the headdress that gave the name to the hairstyle.As a rule, the “hat” has a bang, it can be of different lengths, like the entire hairstyle as a whole.

The big plus of this haircut is its focus on a wide range of potential clients - The hat looks good on people of different looks, as proven by numerous Hollywood celebrities. At the same time, there is a certain ideal portrait of a girl with such a hairstyle: delicate features of an oval face with accentuated cheekbones, a proportionally folded head, graceful neck and shoulders.

"Hat" is one of the most popular hairstyles in the whole world, but still not the only one and not uncontested, which means that it has not only advantages, but also disadvantages. If you yourself have never done such a haircut, they may not be obvious to you, therefore, before making an important decision, you should study all the pros and cons. Let's start with the positive:

• gender, age, hair color - these are only directions for choosing the shape of the "hat", otherwise it is universal and can be used by almost anyone;
• relatively short hair is very easy to style and comfortable to wear - this hairstyle does not cause inconvenience and does not cause problems;
• voluminous hair always distracts the main attention to itself, but if a girl has pleasant facial features or a beautiful slender silhouette, a properly selected "hat" will further emphasize these advantages;
• a variety of haircut options allows you to show the character of the owner;
• this hairstyle never seems too rare, it visually increases the thickness of the hair, and even does not require bouffant due to the noticeable root volume;
• with the help of the "hat" you can purposefully highlight the accent, hiding what is left in the shadows, and this helps to visually correct certain imperfections in appearance;
• without a haircut, this hairstyle gradually turns into a square, which is also a popular ladies' hairstyle, so you don't have to rush to the hairdresser;
• the abundance of variations allows, without abandoning your favorite "hat", to periodically update your own image so that it does not become boring, while remaining the original, and not a faceless copy of style icons;
• although there is no age limit for this hairstyle, it still looks somewhat youthful and has a slight anti-aging effect.

Alas, there are certain disadvantages too, and for some they may seem a sufficient reason to refuse to wear a "hat". Consider them as well:

• this haircut only seems extremely simple, but in fact, to create an ideal image, a real master is needed, for whom a "hat" is not just one hairstyle, but a whole set of varieties;
• a well-adjusted hairstyle often requires regular alignment, since unequal lengths are noticeable even more on short hair than on short ones;
• despite the general versatility, the "hat" is still not recommended for people with a face shape close to a circle, as well as for those with a weighted chin;
• a haircut is suitable for almost all types of hair, but too tight curls or small curls still require choosing a different hairstyle.

At first glance, a cap of hair is a completely monotonous concept that does not imply any originality. Of course, only the most inveterate professionals are guided in the smallest details, but when choosing your own hairstyle, it is advisable to navigate at least the main varieties, especially since each of them is worn by tens of millions of people around the world.

Perhaps, it was this option that was historically the first, since it is he who is the easiest to carry out. There are exactly two layers formed along the length: the lower one is cut very short, as an option - even with shaved temples and the back of the head, while the hair on the crown is relatively long (at least 10 cm) and cut so that their contour around the head is even, without any transitions to a shorter layer. This option is one of the most natural imitations of a hat, since the outline is always even, the same bangs are present, but it is always perfectly straight.

The classic version of the "hat" still has a right to exist, but in the old days such a haircut was performed by any people who came to hand, which means that a modern professional hairdresser should be able to do something more complicated. The easiest way to complicate this hairstyle is to supplement it with additional graduation levels. As a rule, this approach is used if the "cap" should be long enough, but with a uniform length, the bangs will close the eyes.

This hairstyle option, in principle, does not imply long hair, since its main feature is an open, shaved back of the head almost to zero. The length of the hair at the crown is made so that the back of the head is clearly visible, but the traditional rounded shape of the "cap" remains. The back of the head protruding beyond its limits resembles the leg of a mushroom, and the elongated crown, respectively, resembles its head. The entire hairstyle as a whole is indeed very mushroom-like as the transition between the two layers of the hairstyle is sharp.

If you start to classify the varieties of the "hat" by the presence of a bang, its length and shape, it turns out that this haircut has hundreds of types. It would be more correct to say that, in general, a "hat" is a hairstyle that allows for a wide variety of possible options for bangs, which are selected individually in each case. An advanced stylist assesses the specifics of his ward's appearance, consults with her about what result she would like to get, with the help of a correctly selected type of bangs, she highlights obvious advantages and hides what is regarded as a disadvantage.

The absence of bangs means an increased openness of the forehead and face, which does not suit everyone - some of the fair sex are simply not ready to cut their hair so short. On the other hand, it is the bangs in any hairstyle that is one of the most naughty parts that are also immediately striking, therefore, to simplify hair care as much as possible, it is the form factor without bangs that should be chosen.

The name of this option speaks for itself - the creation of such a "hat" means a noticeable increase in hair volume, at least in comparison with the width of the face. A similar effect is achieved due to the fact that the longer hair on the crown rests on the short hair on the side of the head, which is not shaved. The result is an imitation of a sucking candy on a stick or some kind of dandelion.

This version of the hairstyle appeared with the development of hairdressing technique and became an improved version of the graduated hairstyle. It is assumed that the hair that forms the "cap" has different lengths in different parts of the head, but it is no longer possible to select a specific number of layers here - the master makes the transitions smooth and invisible. Thanks to this, the haircut loses its classic feature in the form of a clear edge, although the overall shape in terms of the girth of the crown remains.

With the advent of the ragged bangs fashion, it was to be expected that the general trend will affect one of the most popular haircuts. Despite the fact that the torn edges grossly violate the basic principle of the original "hat" with its smooth and clear contours, the new haircut has not received any fundamentally different name. In this case, the concept of a torn "cap" can mean both only a bang of the corresponding shape, and torn edges on a more significant part of the circle.

Multilayer "hats" allow you to wear such a hairstyle even for those of the fair sex who are not ready to give up long hair. From above, such a haircut looks like a classic hat, however, the hair growing along its lower edge is released and becomes quite long, although it does not have the volume that was at the crown. It not only looks stylish and modern, but also helps to solve the problem of split ends without radical steps like cutting them.

Not all of those who even wore such a haircut know that it is also considered a "hat". The peak of fashion for such a hairstyle happened about a decade ago, then its main admirers were mainly teenagers, but today a double or multi-layered "hat" no longer has stable associations with any age.

This version of the popular haircut suggests that it has asymmetrical bangs and different lengths of hair near the ears, as opposed to strictly verified classics with two identical halves. The obvious advantage of such a solution is the emphasized individualism of each person, since the very fact of asymmetry allows you to choose from a variety of shape variations. In addition, an asymmetrical "hat" is usually done with the consideration of the fact that you can style your hair in different ways - ideally, one hand movement should be enough for a slight change in the image.

This is one of the most effective ways to hide any imperfections in appearance, since orienting the hairstyle to one side allows you to mask bad skin, facial irregularities and much more. At the same time, it is the asymmetry that goes well with the popular modern methods of additional decorating the hairstyle, such as highlighting or coloring.

"Hat" is a popular children's and adult haircut for men and women, but in order for it to suit you perfectly, you should choose the right model. It is this hairstyle that is one of the best options for coloring, and in a well-chosen version it goes to the customer even if he does it after 50 years.

The length and color of the hair are not of fundamental importance for choosing in favor of the "hat", although most often it is made on the basis of short or medium hair. It should be borne in mind that blond in general always looks a little less voluminous than darker tones, so you should not choose too thin and short hairstyles for light hair.

It is generally accepted that the "hat" is the most ideal option for straight hair. In the classic version, this is so, since the hair should lie well, however, with the advent of the trends of torn strands, all the main criteria have been revised. A modern "hat" does not necessarily lie - it can be made even from rather small curls, but strictly on condition that all together they are able to keep their shape and make it possible to identify an imitation of a hat.

For weak hair with split ends, this hairstyle will be one of the best options, as it makes short hair healthy and adds volume to it. At the same time, having built a haircut on several levels, you can leave it quite long, without too depleting the scalp.

It is generally believed that a round face is not very well suited for wearing a "beanie", but in fact, its many varieties are designed to achieve maximum versatility.

With a classic oval face, this hairstyle almost always looks perfect in any version, but if it is too elongated, you should pay attention to haircuts that add side volume. For a round and square face, the difficulties with the selection of a "hat" are that it practically does not add height to the face, but if necessary, the excessive width is concealed by a bang, which was launched obliquely significantly below the eyebrow line. If your face is considered unsuitable for such a hairstyle, you will have to look for a really good master who can prove the opposite.

Minimal care for the "cap" involves regular washing of hair, timely visits to the hairdresser for alignment and styling. The latter can be done at home, the main thing is to disassemble the scheme step by step.

The ever-fashionable classic involves stabbing the upper mass with a hairpin, while the lower part is dried with a round brush, then the hair is loosened - that's the whole technique. A model image that exploits the hipster theme is created with the help of styling products and special equipment - all sorts of curls and irons, and bouffant at the roots is also allowed. The "hat" in retro style involves creating waves in the front with the help of clamps and fixation. These are just examples of what can be done, in fact, everything depends solely on the imagination of the owner of the hair.

If the girl received natural curls as a gift from nature, you don't have to worry about styling at all - the hairstyle will always remain neat if the hair on the crown was noticeably shortened with the remaining length in front.

Well-known people usually become style icons, so our examples will relate to them. So, in the first photo - Rihanna, whose voice is perfectly familiar to any music lover. With her active schedule of performances, such a comfortable hairstyle is exactly what you need, and the asymmetrical bangs, while not being corny straight, hides a rather high forehead.

A somewhat elongated version of the cap was once worn by Mila Jovovich. Curly, neat curls make her inimitably cute, but at the same time the hair does not go into her face, which is very convenient when you constantly play heroines saving the world. This haircut at the same time emphasizes a very expressive look - it is not surprising that it was Jovovich who was chosen for the role of Joan of Arc, for whom the French massively went to war with the British.
