Consider the technology of execution of the most popular short haircuts that suit you.
Pixie haircut is a pyramid shape: on each side and on the back of the head, the strands are made short, and at the top they are left long. You can comb them both straight and to the side. Consider the step by step instructions to perform such a short haircut.
- All hair is combed back, and then divided with the help of two partings. The frontal one goes from the forehead to the crown, and the radial one goes from one ear to the other.
- The areas above the ears on the sides are divided diagonally. In the lower part of the hair or shortly sheared with scissors or a razor. It is necessary that the length of the hair decreases towards the back of the head.
- Then strand the top from both sides a little longer.
- At the back of the head, you need to take the hair in thin horizontal layers and cut it so that the length of the strands gradually increases as it moves upwards - so the hair will repeat the shape of the head.
- At the top of the hair is divided into two halves, ottyagivat at a right angle and shear the diagonal in the direction from the ear to the forehead. The length may vary depending on what effect you want to get.
- Individual attention is required by the strands of hair from the face - they need to make out very carefully. Usually they are sheared in a straight line.
"Bob" - this is one of the few haircuts, which is recommended to do at homeif you have any experience with scissors. This haircut is very simple, but also fits perfectly under the round face. Diagonal geometry allows you to emphasize the cheekbones and remove the accent from the cheeks. In addition, due to its simple smooth shape, a haircut is perfect for women with small facial features: attention will be paid specifically to you, and not to your hair. Performing a classic “bean” involves several steps.
- The hair is divided into seven parts: one at the top, two near the temples, two at the back of the head and two near the neck.
- First, cut the area near the temples. The hair here should go diagonally: the longest strands will be on the face, and in the direction of the back you need to shorten them gradually. Accuracy and accuracy are important in execution.
- The areas near the neck should be cut equally short - sometimes they even use a razor.
- On the back of your head you need to make a gradual transition, so that the tips of the hair form a smooth arc. To do this, take the strands horizontally and align them one to another.
- Finally, it's time to cut the hair on top. They must continue to the two diagonals from the sides and connect exactly in the middle. Here the strands will be much shorter than the temples.
“Debut” is a layered haircut, the distinctive feature of which is a special design of the strands near the face. They are cut off in such a way that they round the contour of the face in an arc: it is precisely because of this that the “debut” hides the cheeks so well. A short version of this haircut can be done by cutting off hair in a certain way.
- The hair is divided into four conditional parts: front, back and sides. Begin to cut the sides.
- On each side, you need to take the horizontal parts of the hair: just three layers are enough for a short version. Each top layer should be slightly shorter than the bottom. To make the strands look neatly near the face, an easy version is made.
- Then the hair is cut on the back of the head in the same way. It is important that the difference between the layers of hair was not more than a few centimeters - the minimum difference will allow you to create a neat shape.
- The top of the head is trimmed one at a time, pulling off the hair at a right angle with small strands, and then level it with each other. The length should be slightly less than the length on the upper tier from the sides.
- On the top and back, and you can make an easy thinning to remove excess volume - so the haircut will take a beautiful rounded shape.
With or without bangs?
Straight bangs do not go too girls with a round face type: the horizontal line further expands the forehead. In addition, medium and long bangs cover a large part of the face, making it actually wider.
However, these restrictions - not a reason to abandon the haircut with a bang.
You can consider all kinds of long oblique bangs. If you brush your hair to one side, you will create the necessary asymmetry and horizontal orientation of the hairstyle: so the face will visually stretch.
Oblique bangs can be successfully entered in almost any haircut, implying a gradation of length: it is not suitable unless under the classic "square", but in principle it is not recommended to do for a round face. In other cases, oblique bangs are not only the actual option, but also very convenient: it grows easily, and if you wish, you can always just comb it back.
Very short arc bangs are another good option.
Due to the small length of the bangs, it will seem that your forehead is larger: for this, the strands in the center should be no longer than 3-4 cm.Due to the fact that the sides of the bang will be lengthened, you will cover your face a little on the sides.
In combination with well-formed front strands in a haircut, this will give the desired effect and allow you to harmonize the shape of the face.
If deliberate negligence is close to you, you should definitely try a torn or copiously milled bang.
Her idea is that short and longer strands will layered one on top of the other. This will create an interesting effect, and, most importantly, the line will cease to be exactly horizontal, so that a round face will look better.
It is good to combine a similar variant of a bang with a small asymmetry: for example, on one side, bangs can be trimmed short, and on the other, they can become longer and gradually change into a hairstyle.
Nuances and secrets
The type of face is not the only point that is important to consider when choosing the right haircut. Age and body type will also be important. Familiarize yourself with the secrets of the perfect hairstyle depending on the totality of all the criteria, determining the most successful option for yourself.
Women over 50
Adult women can be especially difficult to choose a haircut - creative unusual options look overly youthful, and classic models add age. In addition, it is often on the round face that the age changes become evident quite early: after 40-45 years, you should think about a hairstyle that would hide your flaws and emphasize advantages. Women over 50 want a haircut to fit harmoniously into their image, look modern, but at the same time solid and elegant.
It is necessary to abandon shaved temples and short bangs - these options look bold and fresh, but are unlikely to suit middle-aged women. Consider the same is shortened "bob" and haircuts based on it. "Bob" is suitable for all hair types, it looks quite restrained and traditional, and due to the fact that the hair is cut diagonally on the sides, it perfectly visually tightens the facial contours, allowing you to hide age-related changes.
In addition, the "bob" looks the best with a long bangs oblique, which is well suited for a round face and gives the hairstyle a fresh informal look.
Curvy ladies
Full girls, too, is not just pick up a haircut. It is worth being guided by two basic rules. First, the haircut should visually stretch the face, make it thinner and emphasize the cheekbones - all recommendations for a round face are especially important for you. Secondly, it is necessary that the haircut is well combined with your figure, creating a harmonious proportional silhouette. This means that it is better to abandon smooth hairstyles and not to choose options with one length of all hair - you need additional volume.
"Cascade" and any other layered haircuts will suit you.
Due to the different lengths of hair, they will create a lush hairstyle that will fit perfectly into a full figure. To hide the cheeks and outline the contours of the face, you need to carefully work out the front strands of hair. Light filming suitable for full girls will create the effect of deliberate negligence.
Smooth and strict styling will most likely emphasize your volumetric shapes, and soft, fluffy hairstyles, on the contrary, will not draw attention to the figure’s flaws.
Girls
Girls go to almost any haircut: the main thing is to take into account all the tips for a round face. However, young people often refuse traditional plain haircuts that seem boring. Very often, girls prefer shaved temples or the back of their heads, which can be successfully combined with the pixie or bob haircuts. All sorts of interesting bangs are also relevant: although for a round face their choice is limited, oblique and very short bangs with a certain styling look bold and modern.
Very young teenage girls often want to appear older, and a short haircut can help. For these purposes, it is not necessary to choose graduated haircuts or variants implying diagonal geometry from the bottom up in the direction from the neck to the face. It is better, on the contrary, when the face has a longer strand, and behind it is shorter: this allows you to additionally highlight the cheekbones and makes the face more mature. The classic “square” and a short ladder that neatly frames the face also looks good.
