The well-known bob hairstyle can be made in various variations: classic, asymmetrical, straight or cap. Depending on the type chosen, the technology of bob haircuts also changes. Next, consider each of them in more detail.
Who suits bob haircut
First of all, experts recommend choosing a square for girls with straight hair, as it requires daily styling. This haircut visually stretches the shape of the face, so it will look good on women with an oval shape, and it will also suit those who lack volume of hair. With the right choice of bob haircut technology, the hair will appear thicker.
Depending on the type of hairstyle chosen, hairdressers give clients the following tips:
- Girls with an oblong face shape are recommended to choose a bob with thick bangs.
- Square on a leg or spherical will look advantageous on petite women, as well as onowners of a diamond-shaped face.
- Graduated haircut will suit girls with a round face and large features. The hairstyle looks very neat, so it suits older women.
- Short cut is recommended for younger girls, but for older girls, medium length is ideal.
Styling process
The bob haircut technology is quite simple, but only a professional with the appropriate skills can perform it qualitatively. To create a hairstyle, the master will need the following:
- Flat comb.
- Pointed comb.
- Quality scissors.
- Hair clips.
And a sprayer that can be used to moisten the strands in the process.
Before you start cutting your bob according to the technology chosen with the master, you need to thoroughly wash your hair and pat it dry with a towel. After that, you can proceed to the process itself. Each hairstyle will be drastically different.
Classic bob haircut technology
This hairstyle has not gone out of fashion for many decades. Its peculiarity lies in the smooth structure and geometric lines. Technologically, it is quite simple to perform a haircut, for this you need:
- Divide the shock into two halves and cut the hair in horizontal partings.
- It is necessary to start the process from the lower part of the occipital region, moving up the partings at a considerable distance.
- Cut the first strand in parallel in a straight line in accordance with the selected length. This part is the basis for the rest of the haircut, because the classic bob should be the same length.
- After this, the strands need to be combed down and trimmed with orientation to the control line.
- From the bottom of the back of the head, move up, cutting the hairs at an angle of 45 degrees, and graduate along the vertical parting. This is necessary so that the tips after the haircut are bent inward. When cutting, you need to carefully ensure that both sides are symmetrical.
Let's consider a bob with lengthening
And cutting technology with and without a "leg". It depends on the desired length of the hairstyle. When performing this type of caret, an edging of the lower occipital part appears, diagonally passing to the temporal zone. In addition, the lines along which the strands are cut are different.
To create a border, twist the lower hairs into a bundle in the central part of the back of the head and cut to the desired length. Further, the process is carried out according to the classical scheme.
Square on the leg
This type of hairstyle is most often chosen by young women and teenagers. To create it, you can use the technology of cutting a short bob or directed diagonally. The “leg” is a graduation or shading made in a special way at the bottom on the back of the head. When grading, the edging of the selected length and shape is first done, and only afterthis continues the vertical haircut in rows. Next, thinning is performed.
The technology of cutting a bob on a leg with an emphasis on the crown suggests the following:
- The crown area is highlighted, and the hairs on the occipital and temporal parts are cut according to the classical pattern.
- Strand by strand technology is used to cut the parietal region.
- The length of the bangs is the control.
Graduated caret
A graduated bob is a variation of the classic haircut, performed with a ladder or steps at the top. When creating a shortened stepped styling, the crown part is also highlighted. Graduated caret technology is as follows:
- The edging at the back of the head and temples is made straight, and the parietal zone is cut oval.
- The resulting strand is a control for straightening hair at the temples and crown. For haircuts, the “strand-to-strand overlay” technique is used.
- The occipital part is graduated along vertical lines. In the process, it is necessary to focus on the length of the crown and temporal parts, as well as the edging at the bottom of the back of the head.
The type of bob is selected according to the shape of the face. See below for how to do this.
How to choose the right hairstyle
There are four face shapes: oval, circle, square and triangle. An oval female face is considered ideal. That is why professionals advise choosingthe type of caret that will emphasize the features as much as possible and bring them closer to perfection. So:
- For a square and round face, the look and technology of the haircut is often combined. For visual elongation of the shape, the classic scheme for cutting a square is used. Ragged or asymmetrical bangs are suitable for chubby girls. And if you make the volume at the back, then the shape will become closer to the oval. In this case, a cascading bob is also often made; it looks stylish in combination with bangs. For a round type, a graduated bob with shoulder-length front strands is suitable.
- For an oval face, the ideal option would be a straight bob and a shortened version. These haircuts look very beautiful not only on straight hair, but also on curly and thick curls. For girls with an oval shape, a bob with lengthening at the front and volume at the back, a short bob with straight bangs, a voluminous elongated bob, a bob with a leg and a graduated haircut will also suit.
- Owners of a rectangular face are more suitable for beveled or graduated bangs and the length of the front strands at the shoulders. When choosing a bob-car for a "rectangle", it is better to refuse bangs. The hairstyle is based on the standard technology of women's bob haircuts. You can choose absolutely any color of curls, the main thing is that it is combined with the tone of the face and eyes. Often, the strands are made shorter in the back, and in front they do not reach the shoulders. A square with graduation and elongated for a rectangular face is not worth choosing.
- For a triangle-shaped face, the same recommendations apply as for a round one. The main task of a haircut is to makethe chin line is softer and emphasize the oval of the face.
