Let fashion not stand still, but from time to time it makes a radical turn into the past. And then long-forgotten things become trends. Especially often this happens with hairstyles. For example, the Garcon hairstyle has not lost its relevance for more than a hundred years. This daring, sweet and charming haircut "under the boy" adds sensuality, charm and sophistication to its owner. But how is it performed and for whom is it suitable?
From history
Previously, only men wore short hairstyles, and a woman was supposed to conquer the surrounding waves of curls. Everything changed in the 20s of the last century, when Victor Margherita's novel La Garçone was published, the main character of which wore a boyish haircut. This trend went against traditional notions of femininity, but the audience took it with a bang.
Btranslated from French "garcon" is "boy", so the name of the haircut here spoke for itself. Progressive French youth have erected the Garcon style into a real cult. Hairstyles have become more varied and interesting. Many girls have radically changed their image, abandoning long hair in favor of a short haircut.
And for a hundred years, the "garcon" hairstyle has not gone out of fashion. She is preferred by many celebrities. Among them are Natalie Portman, Audrey Tautou, Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Emma Watson and many others. Short hair not only does not detract from their femininity, but gives a special charm and sophistication.
Basic of the basics
What is the hairstyle "garcon"? Hair is cut short using the "strand by strand" technique with external graduation. Due to competent thinning, the lines remain clear, but soft. The length of the hair in the lower occipital part is always minimal, and a small volume is created in the upper occipital part. At the same time, the type of haircut directly determines its appearance from the front, side and back.
Pros
Before you decide to cut your hair hard, you need to think carefully and weigh the pros and cons. Here I must say that the hairstyle "garcon" has a lot of advantages. First of all, she emphasizes the femininity of the owner, visually rejuvenates and makes the image perky and cheerful. "Garson" saves styling products, allows you to quickly dry your hair and do styling in no time. By the way, waysthere is also quite a lot to beat such a haircut, and with the right approach, the haircut gets additional volume. The haircut is suitable for any age and harmoniously fits into absolutely any image - from strict classics to frivolously romantic.
And cons
But the trouble is, simple hairstyles of this kind have a number of disadvantages. You will often have to go to the salon for correction, and then there is also a rather complicated technique. But the most important negative point is that not every girl goes for a haircut. Only the owners of chiseled ideal features can successfully "wear" such a haircut, but those who have a short neck, protruding ears or a too bulging nose will have to turn to other options.
Such a capricious "garcon"
In fact, simple hairstyles are very similar to each other and in the hairdresser you can offer a number of similar haircut options. So the haircut "garcon" is often confused with pixie, page and gavroche. But they all differ greatly in shape and length. In particular, garçon "is characterized by clear contours and rounded lines, which is why the haircut follows the shape of the head. But pixie and gavroche do not have strict contours, but they suggest strong thinning. Pixie and garcon are short in length, and page and gavroche can be different.
Garcon haircut is capricious in its own way. Before doing it, you need to evaluate the structure of the hair. Straight hair is ideal, although slightly wavy strands look cute and very playful. One has only to remember the image of AudreyTotu. With hair like that of an actress, it is better not to go to extremes and give preference to a slightly elongated garcon. For girls with wild curls, such a haircut is not suitable at all, as the head will look like a dandelion. In principle, the same situation with the owners of very thick hair. When growing back, you are tormented with styling. But for thin and liquid hair, the garcon is able to add volume. If your strands are stiff, then in the ultra-short version they can stick out like a hedgehog, so it’s better to choose the classics.
When choosing a haircut, consider the shape of the face. Ideally, oval facial features are combined with any haircut option. And chubby ladies should take a closer look at the asymmetrical options with oblique elongated bangs. For girls with a square or rectangular face shape, it is also better to give up a shortened hairstyle, but the option with oblique bangs or parting is worth considering. Long bangs will hide a high forehead and smooth out the features of a triangular face, while an elongated haircut will emphasize the cheekbones.
Types of haircuts
Although it seems that the haircut "garcon" for short hair does not indulge in variability, but there are several varieties of it, and therefore every woman can choose the option to her liking.
So, good old classic. Here, the hair at the back of the head and temples are milled so that they lie softly against the head. As a result, the haircut looks very strict, bold and elegant at the same time.
Ultra-short haircut is the choice not only for the most daring, but also for the busiest. If a woman is all at work, then she can spendminimum styling time, so this is a suitable option. A minimum of hair is left on the back of the head, crown and temples. All lines are clear and almost no thinning. The icing on the cake is most often a short arched bang.
Finally, long haircut "garcon" for short hair. This is an ideal option for those who are not yet ready for major changes. Short hair will be on the back of the head, and on the crown and temples they will be elongated.
"Quick" question
Garcon with bangs is a completely different version of the already familiar hairstyle. So if your haircut suits you, but you want to update your image a little, then just pick up a neat bang for yourself or slightly change the existing one. You have a very rich choice. For example, an elongated bang that covers the forehead to the bridge of the nose is ideal for owners of a high forehead. But a short bang will complement the ultra-short haircut. True, it is not suitable for large facial features, as it makes them more noticeable. Side bangs allow you to beat your hairstyle in different ways every day. This is a perky and sexy option. Straight bangs may seem too strict, so it will ideally be combined with a classic haircut. A slanting bang gives dynamism to the image and some lightness. In addition, she visually stretches her face and balances too large features. Also, girls with irregular facial features should pay attention to asymmetry. Such a bang, and even with torn ends, will make the image bold and bold.
Cutting Technology
Many hairstyles of the 20th century have remained an eternal trend, but this does not mean that they have become easier to master with the passage of time. Despite the apparent simplicity, the "garcon" has a sophisticated scheme and cutting technology. For work you will need - a thin comb, straight and thinning scissors, hairdressing clips. Now you can start taking action. Hair needs to be washed and divided into four main zones - crown, whiskey and nape. While work is in progress with one zone, the rest must be stabbed with clamps. You should always start with the treatment of the back of the head. Divide your hair with a vertical straight parting into two equal parts. Cut a thin control strand to the desired length and trim. Focusing on it, process the occipital area. At the same time, do not forget to change the angle of pulling the strand in relation to the head. For example, if for the first strands this angle is zero, then in the mid-occipital zone it will be straight. For a voluminous haircut in the upper occipital area, the angle should become sharp.
At the temples, the processing algorithm is similar - the rest are worked out using the control strand with pulling at a right angle. There should not be a sharp border between the temples and the back of the head, so the strands of hair in these areas need to be "adjusted" to each other.
Process the hair on the crown, focusing on the last strand cut at the temple.
Now move on to the bangs and cut them to the desired length. In conclusion, the bangs and hair at the temples and the back of the head should be slightly profiled.
Voila, a stylish hairstyle is ready!
