When a woman wants to change something in her everyday look, she goes to the hairdresser. The right hairstyle can emphasize facial features, complement your preferred style of clothing, create a complete image or completely destroy it.
The work of a hairdresser is also an art. A professional must not only perfectly know the theory of hair styling and master the necessary technical part, but also have an aesthetic taste, a sense of style, and follow modern fashion canons.
Far from the last role, in the daily work of any hairdresser, is the modeling and decoration of hairstyles.
Not every woman has a model appearance, perfect features and the right face shape. Enlisting the help of an experienced master, and not a student who has barely learned the basics of hair styling, all these shortcomings can be easily hidden. The main thing is to find a professional.
A bit of theory: terms and tasks
Hair styling is a painstaking process of hair styling. It is producedbased on existing models of haircuts and their various modifications. Much less often, modeling is a recreation of an image in a photo or drawing.
Hairstyle modeling allows you to solve several problems of hairdressing. Consider the main ones:
- development of new hairstyles, haircuts and styling;
- artistic modeling of hairstyles and its subsequent design contribute to the formation of an aesthetic component of a holistic image;
- stimulates the development of fashion trends.
No less important point in the daily work of a hairdresser is decoration. Thanks to this final stage, the visitor gets the opportunity to comprehensively evaluate the work done by the specialist.
The technical part always remains with the master, and therefore the client may not always understand the essence of certain operations performed with hair. The main thing is the result, which ends any process of modeling hairstyles. It is important that he completely satisfied the client.
Each guest of the hairdressing salon is individual, and if the master is not able to add that very unique zest and finishing touch to his work, the client will be disappointed. Therefore, a real specialist always works individually and pays special attention to decoration.

Today, there are 4 main types of modeling:
Massive. Typical and generalized wishes of the client give the fashion designer an excellent basis for creating a completely newhairstyles, styling, haircuts. Artistic variety is introduced by a certain hair color, decoration, styling
- Under individual modeling, it is necessary to understand the selection of an existing styling, haircut or hairstyle for the image of a particular person. The master retains only the general style characteristic of the hairstyle.
- The modeling of spectacular hairstyles has a completely different character. In this case, the master works on fantastic, historical or theatrical images. Clothing should not come to the fore of the image. Artistic modeling and hair styling, as well as rich and catchy makeup should be in its center.
Nuances of an individual approach
The master always makes an individual adaptation of an existing haircut, styling or coloring for a specific person. As a result, the model is transformed and sees in the reflection of the mirror a completely new hairstyle, original in form and character.
The decisive role that determines the correct selection of hairstyles is played by many factors, including:
- model's own desire;
- her facial features, color type, other external data;
- body type;
- current fashion trends;
- hair structure and type;
- purpose hairstyle (everyday, evening, wedding, etc.).
Hairstyle and face shape
Classify 5 types of face, but the master selects the final decision when modeling hairstyles depending on the color type, nose width, eye shape and other features of the face and body of the model.
Face types:
- Oval face. Owners of the perfect shape will suit any haircut or hairstyle, but the master does not always have to follow the lead of the clients. When choosing a hairstyle, facial features play an important role.
- Triangular face (stretched chin and high forehead, or vice versa) has two subtypes: "Heart" is characterized by a pronounced forehead and too narrow chin. When modeling hairstyles, volume at the temples should be avoided, which will make the transition more abrupt. Will look good: bob, bob, short flight of stairs, etc. The task is to visually balance the face and make it as close to the oval as possible. The opposite of the "heart" - the triangular shape of the "pear" - is characterized by a narrow forehead and a wide chin. Volume at the temples and in the upper part of the head will help balance facial features.
- The square shape of the face requires high professionalism of the master, as the technology for performing hairstyles must be simply impeccable. Too wide lower jaw, heavy chin and proportionate forehead - this is a rough and angular square. Long and thick bangs made of straight hair, emphasizing the protruding chin lines, will only aggravate the situation. Asymmetrical hairstyles will help soften the lines of such a face.
- Round face. Full cheeks and a low forehead of a round face will help hide wavy bangs, asymmetrical haircuts and hairstyles with volume from the temples. It is strictly forbidden: parting and hairstyles that follow the line of the face.
- Rectangular face. Rectangular faces are characterizedhigh and wide forehead, protruding lower jaw. These lines need to be softened. Asymmetric haircuts and other hairstyles that hide the height and width of the forehead are recommended.
Modeling hairstyles and facial features
Too exhausted, and even haggard look can have quite a beautiful elongated face if the image is dominated by vertical lines. For example: long straight hair without volume and asymmetry, open forehead, high hairstyles and side combed hair.
Quickly correct the situation will help the most ordinary tongs for modeling hairstyles. They will not only help straighten unruly hair, but also create beautiful flowing waves. With such a face, light weightless curls, a voluminous haircut or hairstyle, as well as a straight bang look harmoniously. Recommended length - below eyebrow level.
Owners of a long nose are advised to refrain from hairstyles raised at the back of the head and smoothly combed hair. The back of the head is best balanced with light volume.
If you are the owner of a small, neat nose, then a voluminous and long bang will look just awful, and therefore it is better to refuse it. Any haircut and hairstyle that emphasizes the profile will help to balance the features.
Contrary to prejudice, it is strictly forbidden to hide a short neck behind hair. The haircut should be short, and horizontal lines should prevail in the hairstyle itself.
Small and inexpressive facial features will be brighter if the haircut covers the earlobes with hair.
Classification of hairstyles by age groups
Not everyone knows about the existence of the classification of hairstyles, and even fewer people can guess that the selection of hairstyles largely depends on the age category. Consider this question in more detail:
- Youth and children's haircuts and hairstyles should be not only universal, but also practical in everyday life.
- Young people under 30 are still allowed to wear too short haircuts, flashy hairstyles, hair of bright acid color.
- After 30, hair color should match the color type of a young woman, her haircut should be individual, and also have the ability to easily transform depending on the situation.
- There are also some unwritten rules for older people. Women should refrain from painting in an unnatural hair color, short and medium haircuts. Correct styling will help to visually hide wrinkles, which will cover the marginal hairline. For men, hairdressers try not to cut the back of the head too short.
Hairstyle analysis based on modeling
Any haircut, hairstyle or styling can be analyzed on the principle of modeling. Such an analysis is made according to the following plan:
- Determine the purpose: household (everyday), evening or competition.
- Reveal the style this haircut belongs to (sporty, romantic, etc.).
- Balance principle: asymmetry or symmetry.
- Availabilityaccents.
- A kind of rhythm: contrast, nuance, identity.
- Static and dynamic.
- Composition center.
Basics of composition
All compositions can be classified into live (asymmetry) and static (symmetry).
Initially, you need to select the characteristic elements of the composition. This item includes: turning on contrasts and creating the right accent.
During the first stage, it is very important to observe the law of limitation in form, material, color and elements.
At the second stage, the wizard groups the elements, respecting the free space between the created groupings. Such a measure allows not to lose the aesthetic appearance of the composition as a whole, and its individual parts. It is also necessary to prioritize the importance of elements, this will emphasize the subordination between groups.
The third stage allows the master to clearly think over the correct relationship between all elements of the composition. Check the optical balance and don't be afraid to experiment! Only in them true masterpieces are born.
Advantage of computer programs
Technology makes our life much easier! Various computer services and applications on Android make life easier not only for inexperienced professionals who need experience in modeling, but also for seasoned craftsmen.
There are unpleasant situations when the model does not rely on the opinion of the master, but on her own desire. In just a few minutes, a specialistcan demonstrate the future appearance of the model in two or three possible options. And in this case, the question concerns not only a haircut or hairstyle for the prom, but also a dispute over the choice of hair color.
