The fox tail haircut is somewhat similar to the cascade, but it looks more original. This hairstyle looks perfect on long hair and is no less impressive on medium length hair. This haircut is a great option for those who want to keep the length of their hair, but at the same time want to update the look.
Features of the haircut
It is based on graduation, which is performed both in the vertical and horizontal directions. The strands framing the face are the shortest. Gradually, the hair lengthens, forming a V-shaped silhouette at the back. Therefore, the haircut was called the fox tail.
A qualified craftsman will make graduations in accordance with individual characteristics, and the V-shaped contour can be made both in sharp and in a "softer" version. But the main task of the master is the symmetry of the fox tail. Otherwise, all the charm of this haircut will be lost. Therefore, it is important that the specialist understands the peculiarities of the technique for its implementation.
Straight hair will look good even triangular cut. Smooth edging will look good on straight and curly hair. And if your strands are too hard and thick hair, then it is better to do the milling of the tips or leave them uneven -"feathers". But if you have split ends, you can make a haircut with hot scissors or a multi-level graduation.
Cutting technique
How to make a fox tail?
- First, the master must divide all the hair into sections. First, the strands are cut with a short flight of stairs, located near the face - in the forehead area and on the sides.
- Gradually the master increases the length and works with curls from both sides. So the haircut smoothly passes into the area of the shoulders and back, where the curls are left with the greatest length.
- Then the master adjusts the length of the upper and lower strands. The fox tail edging can be made sharper or smoother.
The most important thing is that the master can make the haircut symmetrical. Because it makes the hairstyle look like a fox tail.
Advantages and disadvantages of haircuts
Why do more and more girls prefer this hairstyle over the usual cascade? Because it has a number of advantages:

- not suitable for owners of curls with a small density: they will not be able to create an interesting haircut effect;
- the hairstyle is not suitable for those with curly hair.
Despite the fact that the cascading haircut technique is used, its task is not to create a voluminous hairstyle. A fox tail adds an interesting twist to the ends of the hair, so thick and long curls are perfect for this.
Features of haircuts for long hair
It is best done using the "ladder" technique and performing a triangular edging of the "tail". Thanks to this, you will add volume to the hairstyle. But if your hair is quite thick, you can do the graduation and milling of the tips.
Fox tail for long hair looks very impressive. Only the longer your curls, the sharper the tip should be. It is best to perform this haircut on straight hair, but it will also look quite interesting on curly hair. Only then it is necessary to do the graduation of the strands.
Features of haircuts for medium length hair
A fox tail can also be done on hair that is slightly below the shoulders. The master makes a cascade along the entire length or only graduates the tips. And at the back he makes a border in the form of a pointedponytail.
If you are the owner of very thick and heavy hair, a haircut made using the cascade technique will add lightness to them. That is, all strands are cut along the length of the control, taken at the crown. At the same time, they are pulled up as much as possible. The strands at the top, framing the face and the top layer, are cut short. Longer curls are made at shoulder level and below - a triangular edging. A fox tail made using this technique looks best on medium length hair.
The only difference from the haircut for long hair is that you can not do hairstyles with collected hair. Because the strands of the face are too short and crumble. It is best to leave your hair loose - then others will be able to see the beauty of the haircut.
