The "cap" has a characteristic texture and pattern. When performing it, the hair appears to be more voluminous, with a rounded shape. But for very short hair, this option is not suitable, since the haircut should be voluminous, and it is difficult to achieve good volume on very short strands.

First of all, it should be noted that it is very difficult to perform such a haircut on your own, it should be done by an experienced master who will take into account the structure of the hair, their type and length. This is an unfortunate option for owners of naughty strands sticking out in different directions. Also, do not choose a "hat" for girls with curls, otherwise the strands will be damaged when flattening with an iron.
To protect curly hair from negative effects when leveling the strand, you should use styling products with thermal protection. You can also even out naughty strands by applying various smoothing masks, shampoos, serums or balms.

Variants
This haircut is performed in two versions, the "hat" can be classic or asymmetrical. These types can be subdivided into variations, which will depend on the technique and the length of the hair. In the classic version, the haircut is performed with smooth edges, which will smoothly frame the face. In this case, the back of the head can be made short or with a length that allows you to completely close the neck.
In the asymmetrical version, the haircut has different hair lengths on the right and left sides. It is better to do such a haircut on short hair with beveled bangs or create a sharper transition in length in different zones.

On the leg
If you choose a haircut on a leg, then the master does it with an open back of the head. Cut the top layers to the desired length, while at the back of the head the hair should be cut as short as possible. During a haircut, the master cuts the hair on the back of the head very short, while the upper strands are made to the required length, allowing you to cover the back of the head.
With this clipping, the desired effect is achieved, and the back of the hairstyle visually looks like a leg. A leg cut will go very well with bangs. They start to make a bang from the top of the head, while leaving longer side strands that will frame the face.

With a smooth transition

By hair type
The choice of this or that haircut should be carried out taking into account the type of hair, their structure. The "hat" looks perfect on soft strands that fit easily. On straight and coarse hair during a haircut, the master conducts a thinning, making a multi-level hairstyle.
Owners of curls are better off choosing a different option, although sometimes they can stop at the "hat", because some people get a little creative mess on their heads.

Given the type of hair, a voluminous haircut will look better on rather thick curls. In the event that there is not enough hair, styling may look uninteresting. If the strands are sparse and thin, then this haircut will not always be appropriate. Although on thin hair, the master can create the illusion of sufficient density.
Hair color does not play a decisive role, such a stylish haircut looks great on dark and light brown hair. "Hat" will be a good solution for blond strands. If desired, the strands can be highlighted or dyed in different colors, this will make the hairstyle more interesting and extraordinary.

By face type
Although many ladies choose a "hat" haircut for themselves, it is by no means suitable for everyone. When choosing a hairstyle, you should take into account the shape of the face and the complete set of the figure.
- For a thin and tall fashionista, absolutely any option is suitable. This will round off the cheeks, which will add special appeal to them.
- For ladies with a square or diamond-shaped face, such a haircut will also suit the face. This option will smooth out the corners and give the look a feminine look.
- It is better for chubby women or chubby ladies to give preference to a different option, since such a haircut will make the face visually rounder. When choosing this option, it is better for these ladies to make an elongated version of the hairstyle.
Choosing such a haircut, they usually take into account that it looks good only with bangs, so it is better not to choose a “hat” for ladies with a low or open forehead. You should also take into account that the hairstyle is not very suitable for ladies with thick and coarse hair, because they fit worse.
