History of origin
In the 20s of the last century, the first images of "brave" women with a strong nature and strong-willed character began to flicker on the screens of the cinema. Feminine dresses gave way to trouser suits, and delicate curls - to short haircuts "like a boy". It looked like a challenge to society, a claim for women's independence and freedom from stereotypes.
Coco Chanel herself is closely associated with the tomboy haircut, who, in addition to her legendary little black dress, left the world a legacy and the image of a woman who boldly demonstrates a hairstyle with elements of this haircut.

Varieties

Ragged classic "tomboy"

A fundamental role is played by high-quality filing of the hair to achieve the effect of unevenness and "raggedness". The carelessness and randomness of the ends of the hair is a successful result of the work of the master.

Styling options
"Tomboy" needs to be kept in the correct shape, like any short haircut. This means that you will need to visit the salon at least once every 3-4 weeks. At home, too, simple styling should be done for a casual look or a special occasion if needed. But the styling can be done on your own. To achieve the desired style, you will need different products: foams, mousses, gels and varnishes. Short hair must be fixed, sometimes even with an iron grip.
