Haircut hat for long hair
The hairstyle "cap" on long hair begins its history of existence in the 60s of the XX century. Fashion tends to come back like a boomerang, but its next arrival is always accompanied by innovations in style and performance. Now this haircut is no less popular, but it came today with a lot of modifications to the basic scheme.
Changes in performance technique
This year stylists will add a touch of originality and brightness with the help of fashionable coloring and a share of aggressiveness thanks to the pointing technique (one of the thinning methods). A common feature in all haircut options is the presence of two tiers. They divide the head into two waves: the upper part is a tall, voluminous "cap", and the lower part is straightened hair.
The benefits of the hairstyle
Owners of long hair often prefer this extravagant and extraordinary haircut due to a whole range of advantages.
- Thanks to this model you will refresh your everyday look, and the length of the hair can be left the same. Ideal for those who are afraid of drastic changes. But do not forget to trim dry and split ends if necessary. Otherwise, the head will look sloppy, which will ruin your freshly baked hairdressing masterpiece.
- You will be able to provide noticeable volume to your strands... This is a lifesaver for women with thin hair prone to splitting.
- Haircut "hat" great for both curls and perfectly straight hair... From thin curls, you will get a shock of beautifully styled strands, and curly hair will settle down in the shape of a neat hat.Such a hairdressing trick will not work with the classic short bob.
- By experimenting with your style in this way, you you can forget about long and difficult stylingNS. To create the perfect hairstyle, you just need to resort to a hairdryer and work a little with a comb: we twist the upper strands with the comb inward, and pull the lower ones, on the contrary. For extravagant women, the styling process is even faster and more elementary. Apply styling to wet hair, tousle it and start drying the curls.
- Also it doesn't matter whether or not there are bangs from the owner of this haircut. Both will make you look gorgeous and stylish.
- Suitable for any type of face: oval, round, trapezoidal, etc. Therefore, all brave ladies who liked this haircut option can start translating their ideas into reality.
The best design options
Hairdressers design this hairstyle model in this way: cut the crown off with a short cap. The rest of the long strands get various shapes (even, asymmetrical) depending on the client's preferences. To create a fashionable crown, use:
- flat hat or graduated square - thanks to them, the top layer of the haircut is thick and voluminous;
- classic or elongated bob - a volumetric effect is created on the back of the head;
- medium or short page - will give boldness to the image;
- asymmetry, shaving in the temporal part of the head - will emphasize extravagance and rejuvenate for several years.
The bottom remaining strands can be played as follows:
- align them with one horizontal cut;
- apply a cascading technique or cut your hair with a ladder, which will look stylish and fashionable;
- make thinning and thereby give the effect of disheveledness.
It is also fashionable to cut the hat not along the entire length, but only to remove the hair at the temples and add a bright accent with a bang (even, torn, straight with and without thinning). This haircut option is ideal for those who want to add extravagance to their image, but do not dare to make drastic changes regarding the length of the curls.
With and without bangs
Since this haircut is combined with most of the design options for the upper tier of the hairstyle, the presence or absence of bangs can become the final accent. The main thing is to be guided by the shape of the face and the compatibility of the bangs with the "hat". This is necessary so that there is a tandem between the three components of the hairstyle: bangs, "hat", long curls.
The most versatile option would be a beveled bang. It fits absolutely every face shape. For those who have a long, elongated face, thick straight bangs are appropriate, which will hide a high forehead and smooth out a narrowed chin. Young ladies with oval shapes are advised to choose a bang that blends smoothly into the temporal part of the face. Filtered bangs perfectly mask a square face and give a light look.
Laying methods
The hairstyle "hat" is laid using several techniques. Which one to use will be prompted by the appropriate setting for demonstrating the hairstyle, the woman's clothing style, her temperament and a certain mood.
- The casual and easiest way to style your haircut - using a round comb and hair dryer. On wet, slightly dried hair, apply a gel, foam or mousse to model the hairstyle. After that, the upper part of the haircut is dried, twisting the strands inward, and long curls, on the contrary, are straightened.
- If it's time for a solemn visit, a holiday, then a winning styling option would be a combination of a perfectly straightened lower tier of hair and a fluffy "cap" thanks to the pile.
- For a romantic date you can easily twist the bottom of the haircut with a curling iron, hairdryer, curlers and fix your hair with varnish. Alternatively, add cute wavy lines to your hairstyle along the entire length of your hair.Your gentle and slightly playful look will be appreciated by the opposite sex.
- The presence of this haircut in a woman allows you to experiment with braiding (French braid, spikelet)... These models are harmoniously suitable for everyday life and for going out.
- For those who save their time or simply do not like to bother creating something extraordinary, it is suitable variant of the tail, bun on the back of the head. Modeling such a hairstyle does not require a lot of time and special additional skills.
Despite the uncomplicated styling, it is still worth doing it often, otherwise the haircut will lose its original appearance and shape.
Varieties of staining
The choice of hair shade for this haircut should be approached very responsibly and it is better to consult with a specialist colorist. The difficulty in choosing a color lies in the fact that the shades of the two tiers of haircuts should be combined with each other and in total give a symmetrical, well-chosen color image. Once or twice a month, you need to update the color and visit the hairdresser or paint the curls yourself.
When choosing colors, it is worth taking into account the fact that they should be monochromatic. It doesn't matter whether it is flashy saturated colors or calm natural ones.
For the brightness of your haircut, a great option is natural red shades or a combination of brown and red. Women who give their preference to natural shades in the choice of color always win. Their stylish hairstyle looks well-groomed and at the same time natural and restrained.
If you want to stand out from the crowd and amaze others with your courage in choosing and combining shades - ask the hairdresser to paint the top "cap" in one color, and the remaining length in another. Be sure that you will not meet a woman with an identical hair color on every path. A very unusual and interesting option is considered to be the coloring not only of the upper and lower tiers in tones that are in harmony with each other, but also the creation of a separate color delimiting strip between them. In this case, the ends of the hair should be profiled and thus lighten the "foundation" of the haircut.
The beautiful accent of the hairstyle is perfectly demonstrated by the coloring of the ends of the lower part of the haircut.
It is not at all necessary to make a deep contrast between the color of the curls of the main length and the ends. Create a smooth transition. For example, dark blue, purple colors are suitable for brunettes, and pale pink or lilac for blondes.
For those who are afraid of experiments or have doubts about the correct choice of a palette, tonics and crayons will come to the rescue. In case of an unexpected staining result, you can easily wash them off with water (wash off the tonic after 3-6 times of shampooing, traces of crayons - at the first contact with water).
Who is it better for?
Choosing a "hat" in combination with long hair, as, in principle, any other version of a modern hairstyle, you must first decide on your face type. From the above, it was said that this haircut will suit almost any face shape. The only exceptions are those ladies whom nature has endowed with a round shape. However, it will not be difficult for a true hairdressing master to correct flaws in appearance and make the hairstyle advantageous for women with rounded shapes.
Girls with a thin hair structure can safely claim a "hat" with long hair. You will have additional volume, masking rare curls. Another important plus is that age is not a hindrance to this haircut. It is suitable for both older ladies and young girls. Older women will look younger, and younger women will look even more mischievous. Women's hairstyle while maintaining the length is very relevant.
Choosing this particular hairstyle is within the power of even those who are afraid of shortening their hair.Indeed, here the length of the main part of the hair remains unchanged, and only the crown is cut off. Over time, if you want to change the image, the hair will grow back and become equal to the bottom layer. So go ahead, girls, for new hairdressing transformations!
