The fashion for hairstyles is constantly changing, and today the once popular milled ends have given way to the leader of a new haircut - graduation. This hairstyle looks great on any hair, both short and longer, which is why it is the graduated haircut, among others, that is so popular with modern girls.
What is a layered hairstyle?
Graduation is a kind of “stepped” haircut, where each hair, starting from the inside of the hairstyle to the outside, is located one above the other. Thus, the length of the hair also changes smoothly. Graduation can also be performed on any specific section of the hairstyle.
A graduated haircut on long hair looks especially attractive - it gives them extra volume, making the hairstyle lush and beautiful. At the same time, the length of the hair is in no way reduced, since only the upper strands of the hairstyle are cut off, due to which the necessary volume is created. Hair to do itcan be either thin straight or elastic wavy, making the graduated haircut universal.
What to look out for
If a graduated haircut is performed on too thin, but at the same time long hair, then you should not get carried away with thinning the tips. Ideally, the transitions from one step of hair to another should be imperceptible and smooth. If this moment is not observed, then in a couple of days such a hairstyle will look careless and rude.
For thin, straight, shoulder-length hair, a graduated haircut is usually not done, since in this case the milled ends do not look attractive. If you still decide to make such a hairstyle for this length, then try to add volume to the haircut due to the “ladder” at the crown, when the length of the top layer of the strands reaches no more than 5 centimeters.
Graduated haircut for long hair is also performed when there is a need to reduce the severity of thick hair. This is especially true for curly hair. Due to the "steps" curls become even more elastic. But do not cut them too short at the crown, as this can achieve a resemblance to a poodle. With hair length below the shoulders, graduation can be done, starting from the level of the ears. Hair length transitions should be smooth.
How to make a layered haircut even more attractive?
Excellently emphasizes graduation onhair highlighting and highlighting individual strands. You can use several different shades for highlighting to achieve even more originality and attractiveness of such a haircut.
In order to style a graduated haircut, you need to apply gel, foam or wax to dry hair. This will help highlight the stepped structure of such a hairstyle. For styling short or medium hair, not a round comb is used, but a simple massaging flat hair brush. Under the stream of warm air of the hair dryer, the hair is dried against their growth from one side and the other. In this way, you can achieve luxurious smoothness, radiance and volume of hair.
