How to style an asymmetrical haircut at home?
Asymmetrical haircuts are always relevant and have not gone out of fashion for many years. Strands of various lengths are suitable for both women and men. It is worth noting that good asymmetry styling is just as important as a good haircut. Poorly done styling can completely ruin the look and make it sloppy, which is why it should be given some attention when creating everyday as well as evening hairstyles.
Who is it for?
The appeal of asymmetrical haircuts is based on the fact that they suit absolutely any type of face and hair. It is only necessary to choose the correct variant of asymmetry.
For a round face, a voluminous haircut, raised at the top of the head, with a milled oblique bangs would be a good option. Any asymmetry is suitable for an oval shape, and for a square, such a hairstyle will be the best solution.
Varieties
As for the subspecies of asymmetric haircuts, there are quite a few of them. Let's dwell on a few of the most popular options.
Asymmetrical bob
It is considered one of the most beloved by women of different ages, cropped asymmetric haircuts offered by beauty salons.
Bob the page
Most of the hair is trimmed to the chin area and then trimmed with thinning scissors. At the same time, the density of the bangs is preserved up to the browbones.
Bob - "fungus"
This is the famous Mireille Mathieu haircut. It decorates the oval of the face, corrects it, making it more rounded.
Bob car
A similar variety is a tandem of two haircuts at once.
Tousled milled bob
Fits perfectly into the style of a teenage girl. The hairstyle goes well with most types of faces, and carelessness adds structure and volume to it.
Bob the garcon
Short, neatly slicked hair.
Long bob
The hairstyle has a feminine, streamlined silhouette. The main part of the curls is cut to the shoulders, and a little shorter at the neck.
Bob with curls
Positioned as evening styling.
Pixie
The main feature of the haircut is the torn profiled contours. The hairs on the back of the head are longer than on the sides, while they are slightly elongated at the temples. The bangs can be straight or oblique, almost completely revealing the face.
Cascading asymmetric haircuts
The cascading technique is the formation of a hairstyle in steps from the crown to the ends of the hair. The shortened cascade is called "Elf". This hairstyle emphasizes the fragility of its owner. At the same time, the hair in the temporal zone and neck is noticeably shortened, and the curls with the greatest length are in the region of the crown and visually look like a bang.

Many people are afraid to style an asymmetrical haircut at home on their own. However, this is not difficult, especially when it comes to short haircuts.

- you need to take a little mousse (the size of a walnut) and apply to dry hair;

- after that, you need to treat the hairstyle with a strong hold gel, so it will become more neat.
Evening
In order to quickly transform for an evening out or for a holiday, all you need is a styling product and a curling iron or iron.
- We treat the hair with mousse.
- We curl long curls into curls. This can be done with a curling iron or, if you have certain skills, with an iron.
- Then we put all the curls on one side with our hands and fix the styling with hairspray.
Volumetric
To create a voluminous New Year's hairstyle, you need a good hairdryer, a straightening iron and hairspray.
- First you need to wash your hair and dry it with a hairdryer. In this case, in the temporal zone, it is necessary to direct the air as flat as possible so that the hair on the temples does not flicker.
- After the hair has become dry, with the help of an iron, you need to straighten the strands, giving them a direction and slightly bending the ends inward.
- Then you need to use the styling powder, apply it to the hair and create volume with your fingers in the parietal zone, adjusting the direction of the hair with your hands.
- The final touch is to fix the hairstyle with hairspray.
