As the name implies, the bob haircut appeared as a result of combining two independent hairstyles - bob and bob. The combination of the advantages of each of these haircuts has led to the fact that today the bob-car is one of the most beloved and sought-after hairstyles, despite the fact that it appeared quite a long time ago - in the middle of the last century.
Features of the haircut
The classic bob is characterized by an even cut of hair and the presence of elongated strands near the face. The bob haircut has a rounded shape with a lush nape and resembles a bean grain in shape, which, in fact, got its name.
Bob-caret at the back suggests the presence of short-cut hair at the back of the head, and in front - elongated strands. They are connected to each other by a gradual transition, organically combining two forms - a short voluminous crown from a bean and hair length to the shoulders and even lower from the caret.
Benefits
The main advantage of this hairstyle is its versatility. It will suit almost any type of face,will help to emphasize its advantages and visually hide the existing shortcomings. To do this, you just need to correctly select the parameters of the haircut - the length and color of the hair, the execution technique, on which the volume depends, as well as the presence or absence of bangs.
Thanks to various styling options, this hairstyle looks different, each time emphasizing the individuality of her mistress in a new way. It is comfortable and practical in everyday life and easily gives the look of solemnity or romance on special occasions.
The cutting technology allows you to give the usual bob volume to the bean, which makes even thin hair visually more lush. By adding volume to the back, the bob changes the overall perception of the hairstyle as a whole.
The hairstyle suits women of all ages. The ease and speed of styling is another reason for the popularity and demand for this haircut.
Haircut options depending on the shape of the face
The most advantageous is the oval shape of the face. Any haircut option will suit her, which can be performed, guided solely by her own tastes and preferences.
In the case of a round face, the front and back bob needs to be made less voluminous. To narrow the wide cheekbones will help oblique or long bangs, smoothly merging with the temples. Front strands covering the cheeks and minimal volume at the crown will help to visually narrow the face.
Square features can be made less heavy by using a straight parting and even bangs rounding to the temples. Whiskey in this case is sheared in the form of a ladder, hidingcheekbones and jaw. In this case, it is better to make a medium-length bob-car at the back. Another option for a haircut in the case of a square face is asymmetry combined with oblique long bangs.
A triangular shaped face will help balance out a long haircut with oblique shaped bangs.
Varieties
The main options for this hairstyle are:
- classic;
- with bangs;
- extended;
- graded;
- on a leg;
- asymmetric.
A bob-car is performed on hair of any length - short, medium and even long. Consider what each type of haircut looks like.
Description of models
As you can see in the photo, the back of the bob-car in the classic version is supposed to have a cut line slightly raised at the back of the head. In front, the length of the hairstyle reaches the chin line. With the help of grading the tips, the haircut is given a rounded shape.
Classic bob is done without bangs, or its length is equalized with the total length of the hair. However, at present, the presence of a bang in a bob hairstyle is only welcome. Its shape can be any - straight, oblique, torn, asymmetrical, long or short. Properly selected bangs help to visually correct the flaws in appearance.
The extension version is by far the most popular and in demand. As you can see in the photo, the rear view of the bob-car in this case differs from the classic one by a much more elevated nape line, which gradually descends down along the face,and in front, the strands are much longer than in the classic version. Visually, this haircut looks more voluminous and at the same time sophisticated, which attracts a significant number of adherents to it.
In the classic version of the bob, graduation is done closer to the cut line to give the hairstyle a more rounded shape. But there is also a fully graduated version of this haircut, in which this technique is used on all hair, as a result of which the hairstyle acquires a special texture, lightness and some carelessness.
The rear view of a bob-car on a leg is distinguished by very short hair at the back of the head, cut off in the form of a clearly defined cape. A very even and clear cut just allows you to highlight the very “leg” that gives zest to the whole hairstyle. It seems to support the voluminous rounded contours of the crown. Hair in front can be elongated, asymmetrical or have a classic shape.
Asymmetric bob at the back can look different. Its main difference is the different length of the strands on both sides of the face. This haircut looks especially impressive when the side parting is combined with oblique elongated bangs.
Cutting Technology
Haircut is done on clean, damp hair.
- Curls are divided into zones using partings: a vertical parietal parting, a horizontal parting through the occipital tubercles from one ear to the other and a front parietal parting.
- The lower occipital part is cut by the methodshading, separating thin strands at an angle of forty-five degrees, comparing the length of each subsequent strand with the control.
- The upper occipital area is cut using the graduation method.
- The temporal part is cut without graduation, with an even cut at the level of the back of the head. The strands are pulled to the back of the head. The length of the strands depends on the angle of the draw.
- Mill the ends and shape the bangs.
The resulting haircut is styled with a hairdryer, twisting the hair with a round brush.
Styling options
To diversify your hairstyle, to make it more interesting, you can use different styling options. You can wind curls on curlers. Using a curling iron will give them a more natural look.
To enhance the usual styling, you can use a bouffant on the crown. It slightly elongates the shape of the head and accentuates the strands in front.
Styling can be smooth or textured depending on the type of haircut and individual appearance. You can not curl the entire hairstyle, but only its individual sections. Medium-length bob can be styled with a flat iron, modeling light curls or smooth large waves.
Whether falling over the face or slicked back, a little casual or creative chaos, this hairstyle has endless options. Every woman can choose for herself the one that will make her irresistible.
