Properly selected hairstyle can hide the flaws of the face and emphasize its dignity. The most popular haircut of recent years can rightfully be considered an elongated bob or elongated bob. But is it right to call such a caret a bean? What types of this haircut exist? What coloring should be tried for those who have been wearing a graduated asymmetric bob for a long time?
Who should get this haircut
Often, before going to the stylist, many girls look through fashionable haircuts. An elongated bob has long been based on the first lines of various ratings, so it’s quite difficult to leave such a hairstyle unattended. And although it is said everywhere that a bob with lengthening is the most optimal haircut for any type of face, it is worthwhile to figure out whether such a statement has any basis.
Before you decide on a haircut, you should stand in front of a mirror with your hair down and evaluate four indicators as self-critically as possible:
- Face shape.
- Hair type.
- Their density.
- Lifestyle.
To summarize, a bob with lengthening is a haircut that requires constant care. Therefore, those who do not have time for a haircut in the morning should not cut their hair like that. The exception is girls with thick hair, who can turn to an intelligent master who knows how to calibrate. This is a special type of strand cut that helps maintain the shape it is given.
A narrow face and sparse hair is an inappropriate basis for a bob in any form. And if the hair is also thin or split, then it will not be easy to achieve the desired effect. However, if you really want to, you can pick up several options, which will be discussed below.
A wide chin or well-defined cheekbones, an oval face and thick curls - this is what is considered ideal for an elongated bob. Protruding or too big ears are the perfect excuse to get yourself such a haircut.
It is curious, but there is a popular belief that an elongated caret is not suitable for a round face. Such a statement is a fatal mistake, because the haircut is very versatile and has many interesting options.
Determining the shape of the face
To understand what kind of square to cut, you need to evaluate yourself as self-critically as possible. There are seven face types. The classification is based on fruit and geometric shapes - oval, circle, square, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, square. The fruit is a pear.
There are many tests and ways to determine your face type. If we talk about the selection of the type of haircut,then for a round face, an elongated bob without bangs would be ideal. This is a great way to visually change its proportions, make it thinner. It is only important to avoid straight parting or clear horizontal lines.
Thick straight bangs and wide graduations will look great, creating some kind of negligence. These two components are perfect for owners of an oval. Curiously, in this case, nothing more than a styling product and fingers to ruffle the hair is needed for styling.
A square or rectangular face will be rounded off by elongated front strands. In some cases, it is better to make a long bang. For many girls, bangs in the form of an arch suit.
For a pear-shaped face, do not make an elongated bob with bangs. In this case, clear strands in front and a high back of the head will look perfect. Everything must be done so that the forehead is open, and the whole emphasis is created on the eyes, and not on the cheeks and cheekbones.
With a triangular face, you need to visually reduce the forehead. This result can be achieved by making a neat bang and careless bob. You can enhance the effect by choosing an interesting coloring.
In any case, the result will depend on the professionalism of the hairdresser. This idea is especially relevant based on the fact that a hairstyle that has the same name can look completely different. What is it about?
Are bob and long bob different
Some girls mistakenly believe that the difference between these haircuts is only in the name. In fact, despite the fact that the hairstyles are somewhat similar, they are very different. Sitting in the hairdresser's chair, you should name the haircut that you really want to get, and not the one that is stylishly called. It is believed that it is best to simply show a photo of the desired hairstyle. But what is the difference between bob and square? let's figure it out.
Bob is a derivative of a man's haircut. It is often done without a pronounced bang and with some chaos in styling. This is a categorically opposite hairstyle, in which clear lines and evenly lying curls are important. Moreover, the classic square needs daily styling, which cannot be said about the bean.
The second difference between bob and bob is versatility. In the classic bob, any hairstyle upgrade is achieved with different options for bangs, and a bob is always a wide selection of curls and styling that suits the type of appearance and mood of the girl.
But the most important thing to pay attention to when trying to figure out what the difference between these hairstyles is is the style of their execution. The classic bob is cut, combing all the strands down and cutting them in straight lines. Bob implies that the face will have longer curls than the back, and the crown will be raised by graduation.
What conclusion should be drawn, given the above information? An elongated caret is not quite the right definition of the haircut that everyone has in mind. If you want to get elongated strands and a fluffy crown, this is a bob, and if straight lines are expected, this is a classic bob. Now we know how to correctly name different hairstyles. Consider the principles of their implementation.
Elongated simple caret
Such a haircutallows you to visually increase the density of hair due to long strands in front and shortened in the back. The back of the head is usually not very open. This hairstyle differs from the classic square only in that it does not have straight lines, but a slight bevel. Usually the longest part of the hairstyle barely reaches the chin.
In beauty salons, they often offer to make an elongated caret with highlights. This is an interesting option for both owners of dark hair and fair girls. For blondes, this makes it possible to interestingly beat the natural tone and increase the density of the curls. Those who want to gently cover up a barely visible gray hair can also consider this option. For such purposes, it is ideal.
Shoulder long bob
This haircut was a real trend in 2017. It is unlikely that the world will love her less in 2018. Her difference from the hairstyle described above is that in this case, all the hair lies on her shoulders. The nape is usually lowered, but shorter than the main body of the hair.
Balayage or ombre on an elongated square to the shoulders is considered a particularly chic option. These types of coloring are created using professional dyes and change color only at the ends of the hair, almost without getting to the roots.
Laying a long caret is within the power of anyone who is not indifferent to their hairstyle. You just need to take into account a few rules that will be outlined at the end of the article.
Elongated square on the leg
This is not a very popular type of haircut. The fact is that hairstyles on the leg are considered old-fashioned. Nowadays it's better to make a kheir-tattoo. This is a pattern that is done with a razor or a trimmer on the back of the head.
Often a bob on a leg is combined with bangs. How beneficial this option will be for you, the stylist will definitely say, but you should not reject such a haircut.
As for the coloring of such a hairstyle, most often stylists recommend affecting the pattern on the back of the head. Changing the main color is currently not relevant.
Bangs as a way to diversify a haircut
An elongated graduated bob with bangs is far from uncommon, although it is not considered a classic. But when choosing such a hairstyle, you should trust only a professional, because a bang can both improve the perception of a hairstyle and make a face small and inexpressive.
This hairstyle looks quite feminine, and its owner is fashionable and dynamic. An elongated bob with bangs should not be done by owners of curly hair.
As for the shape of the bangs, it is better to trust the hairdresser. It is believed that for an oval, circle and square, you can make an oblique bang. It is important that it be elongated.
Coloring can be chosen based on personal preferences - ombre, balayage, strands or highlights.
Kare-cascade
Another interesting version of the elongated caret. This is perfect for curly hair. This haircut looks airy and light. It greatly increases the visual volume of the hair and is easy to style.
If we consider the cutting technique, it does not have straight lines. She is cut in steps, making uneven cuts. Thanks tolayered hairstyle looks stylish and feminine. By removing everything unnecessary from behind, you can get really luxurious volume.
Asymmetrical haircuts
Asymmetric elongated caret entered the fashion world not so long ago, but has already become popular with many girls. Why?
Modern models and bloggers have such a concept - the working side. This is the part of the face that is most successful in photographs. She, as a rule, is shown in the frame, focusing on her all the attention. Although the second part of the face is not much different from the "working", it is usually covered. For such situations, the most interesting option is an elongated oblique caret.
Clavicle curls are considered the best option for asymmetry. One part is usually not cut off, but only made more attractive. The second side is always made noticeably shorter. The resulting asymmetry should not look like a bad hairdresser's job. It should be bright and expressive.
There are two types of asymmetry - angular and drop. The first got its name because of the angle that the master makes at the back of the head. Roughly speaking, the master divides the hair into two parts. He makes one side long, and the other shortened. The place of separation is a point on the back of the head, from which two lilies go to the face, forming an angle.
Drip asymmetry is done without an angle. Such a haircut is performed on the short side, smoothly turning into a long one. If you draw a hairstyle schematically, as is done when training hairdressers, then it will look like a drop.
But you don't have to let your hair down to your collarbone tomake yourself an asymmetrical elongated caret. You can make one side shorter than the other in other ways. Now some people shave their temples. It looks fashionable and even outrageous.
Ball with extension
The name of the hairstyle speaks for itself. This haircut is not recommended for a thin or square face, because it creates the illusion of relief, highlighting the cheekbones and chin.
Curls are allowed in the ball with extension. Some desperate girls shave the back of their head, which gives them an image of mystery and passion.
Sparse hair and bob
As soon as the haircut appeared, it was believed that it was not suitable for curly and thin hair. But above it was already said about a haircut for curls. Is it just as easy to choose a hairstyle for those who have not so thick hair?
Those who had long thin hair for a long time made a fatal mistake. The fact is that it is not just difficult to achieve volume on them, it is almost impossible without daily styling, which also does not always bring results. That is why qualified specialists offer to cut hair, forming a graduated elongated caret from it. This option will visually brighten up the problem somewhat, make the hair voluminous, and the image pretty.
There are several options for an elongated caret for thin hair:
- Asymmetry. Complete the haircut with bangs trimmed with the tips of scissors. You won't be disappointed.
- Kare on the leg. Open or lift the back of the head as much as possible. Hair tattoo will be perfectaddition to the overall image.
- Textured caret. The maximum volume should be concentrated at the crown. Play with color and styling.
In addition to the elongated bob style, it is worth considering a few rules regarding styling. Do not use a lot of styling products, as they make the hair heavy and reduce volume. Don't bouffant too often because it will damage your hair a lot by breaking it. And the last thing - do not dry your hair exclusively with hot air, but switch it sometimes to cold air.
Bob curly hair
There are some more interesting options for a fashionable elongated caret for naughty hair. To implement these ideas, you do not need to spoil your hair with an iron every day. Some types of hairstyles look even better on curly hair!
Nowadays, you can find many workshops where girls cut their elongated bob below their shoulders, asymmetry, bob on the leg and so on. Notice what almost all end results have in common? Curling on a curling iron or tongs! So why flatten your curls when they're all the rage?

But there is no hairdresser at home, so it seems to many girls that it is impossible to make their hair look like in the picture on their own. Tie your hair in a ponytail is not the smartest choice.
There are at least five options for how to style an elongated bob. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. But you can quickly learn how to style your own hair if you want.
Easy styling
In many instructions you can find recommendations that you first need to divide your hair into strands, and then style an elongated caret. It is difficult both in description and execution.

It should be noted right away that this option is not suitable for those who have made an elongatedcaret for thin hair or curls. In any other case, laying takes place in four stages:
- Wet your hair with a spray bottle.
- Dry all hair in one direction, then repeat this action in the other direction.
- Bend forward and comb your hair, then raise your head.
- Part hair and fix with hairspray.

Sloppy waves
The main advantage of all types of elongated caret, as mentioned earlier, is versatility. If there is no time for a beautiful and even styling, make careless curls.
To get them, you can use any of these options:
- Curler.
- Iron.
- Curlers.
- Curling on braids.
- Hair dryer
The last item on this list is not accidental. To make curls with a hair dryer, use a thin brush - a round brush. If the length allows, wind a section of hair and heat it with a hair dryer. Then carefully remove the brush, twisting the strand. In the case when the hair is short, pick up the strand so that it catches on the bottom of the comb and heat it from below with a hair dryer. This will make a twisted tip.
As for any other type of wrapping, they are no different from those done on long hair.
Stands in styling
It is not necessary to create a complex hairstyle to look gentle and feminine. You can use an iron to make several separate curled strands and disconnect them. In this case, it is necessary to do this only on the upper part.curl.
You can complete the look with accessories or a light bouffant for volume.
Easier than steamed turnip
There is another styling option. It is suitable for those who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd. It looks most interesting on bright or colored hair.
The essence of laying is based on root corrugation. To do this, the hair must be dried, leaning upside down so that the roots are already raised. No need to watch how the tips will go.
Next, starting from the frontal zone, you need to make a root corrugation. Now apply styling product to your fingertips and shape your hairstyle. It should turn out fluffy and disheveled. This hairstyle will become a favorite in your arsenal of quick styling.
To cut or not to cut, that is the question
Many girls are afraid to change something in themselves for many years, because they cannot find their style. An elongated bob haircut without bangs or with it is the very option when the same hairstyle can be both extravagant and delicate. It combines audacity and femininity.
Short hair is easier to style. They dry faster and require little attention.
Interestingly, an elongated bob for dark hair will allow you to beat a balayage or ombre better than long ones. Yes, and with light shades, you can noticeably refresh your face and lose a few years.
But the haircut has a number of disadvantages. First of all, it is a regular correction. Kare is not the kind of hairstyle that you can walk with for years after a visit to the hairdresser. She needsupdate at least once every two to three months. The timing depends on the type of haircut and type of hair.
On long hair, you can create various hairstyles and weave an abundance of braids. With a square, such options become much less. But to be realistic, how often do the owners of long hair do something with them, more than a bun, tail or braid?
Should bangs
As mentioned above, an elongated bob is a rather multifaceted hairstyle that implies a variety of interesting options. That is why it is worth thinking three times about what kind of haircut you want to get in the end. When making a decision, you should be guided by several aspects.
First, your face shape. It has already been said above that for a round face you need to be neat, and with a pear-shaped one, forget about short bangs.
Second, think about the thickness of your hair. Perhaps, to emphasize it, you should not do a bang. However, in some cases, it will help hide the ugly marginal hairline and make the image more pretty.
