The difference between this hairstyle and the classic bob is in length - the bob suggests hair to about shoulder length. Also, the French square is always symmetrical and often does not have clear, smooth classic lines, like a square on a leg or asymmetrical. In general, this is a hairstyle for young and modern, light, relaxed, but very elegant.
Cutting technique

The French bob starts from the back of the head, where the first “control” strand is cut off and modeled, setting the length for all the others. After the first strand is ready, each next portion of hair is pulled at an angle of 45 degrees, cutting towards the occipital and parietal zones.
After that, at the request of the customer, the master performs a bang of the desired shape. As a final touch, the ends of the hair and bangs, if it has been provided and performed, it is desirable to subject the procedure to milling. She makes the hairstyle obedient, helps to keep the shape of the haircut without complicated manipulations.

How to style
Many women have doubts about whether they can style their own hair the way a master does itin the cabin. If you put into practice a few styling secrets, then anyone will certainly turn out no worse.
Remember that the caret requires regular correction by the hairdresser, because, growing, the strands will not lie in the right order, retaining their original shape. It is also important to choose the right styling products: foam, mousse, varnish of varying degrees of fixation and spray for shine and radiance of hair.
The house should have all the necessary tools for styling: iron, hair dryer with adjustable nozzle, round styling brush.
Hair before styling should be slightly dampened and applied to them with the required amount of foam, but not more than a portion the size of a walnut. You need to start styling your hair from the front curls. Long curls are wound on a round brush towards the face, then stretched to the ends and dried. The back of the head is treated last, lifting the hair in parts from the roots. At the end, the resulting hairstyle is fixed with varnish and, if desired, additionally sprayed with a product that increases the shine and radiance of the hair.
There is a faster option. A small amount of styling foam is applied to wet hair, combed all the hair to one side, and then dried in the same direction. After that, repeat the same thing, but on the opposite side. The third step is to bend forward and comb your hair, and then with a sharp movement to straighten up and throw your hair back. After that, it remains to make a parting and sprinkle the resulting hairstyle with hairspray to fix the hair.
For evening styling, wet hair is wound on curlers, separating uniform strands. The diameter of the curler will affect the size of the resulting curls and, accordingly, the very look of the hairstyle. The hair should be allowed to dry on its own or with a hairdryer, and then, removing the curlers, straighten the resulting curls with your fingers in the direction from the roots to the tips. After that, apply a little suitable styling gel on them and gently “comb” the strands with your fingers. At the end, fix the result with hairspray.
As you can see, bob is rightfully one of the most favorite French-style haircut options for women around the world. It remains to choose exactly your version of the square and go to conquer this world with your laid-back elegance.
