How to choose?
Despite the fact that such a haircut is suitable for everyone when choosing it, you need to pay attention to several nuances.
- Oval face is the most correct form for which experiments with hairstyle are suitable.
Here the “American” can be with or without a bang, as well as with longer pieces of curls at the temples or with a cascade.
- For owners of a round face it is worth using this haircut with care, as the volume top rounds the face even more. But even in this case, the form is not a serious problem, one has only to wear an asymmetrical bang, which somewhat lengthens the face.
- For elongated oval more oblique or straight bangs.
- Triangular shape can be adjusted with the help of more elongated curls on the sides.
- For owners of thick hair It will take extra filigree hair to give the right amount.
- This haircut fits equally well and straight and curly hair. The length does not matter.
Execution scheme
As with any haircut, "American" consists of several stages: preparatory, basic, final.
- In order to perform a female haircut for medium hair, you need to carefully comb and moisturize the hair at the preparatory stage. They can be rinsed or sprayed with a spray.
- The main stage begins with a thorough combing of wet hair and creating a smooth parting. It is necessary for the design of voluminous top. Then a strand stands out in the middle of the parting and is cut to approximately the length of the chin. After that, a strand of width 5-6 cm from the right or left side is thrown to the other side and cut to the desired length. The same manipulations are done with the rest of the strands near the parting. It is important to remember that the curls are constantly transferred to the opposite side, and then cut. After the volume on the crown is created, depending on the thickness of the hair, it is thinned with the help of milled scissors.
- After creating the volume part, you should cut the main curls of the desired length. And only after that it is necessary to proceed to a stepwise transition from the crown to the main curls. For these purposes, milled scissors cut the curls, twisted into a bundle. Such equipment will allow to achieve easy negligence and ease.
- At the final stage, the hair is dried using special nozzles and changing the cold and hot air from the dryer.
The result is a voluminous cascade of hair with slight negligence.
Care
This haircut is good because it does not require a long laying and grooming her. It is only necessary to properly put their hair dryer. This will require a series of actions.
First of all dry the bangs. And then start drying the shortest strands. One strand is selected at the top of the head and with a round comb or nozzle, and the hair dryer is wound from top to bottom. Ordinary head or hair dryer simply dries the rest of the hair.
In addition to the correct styling, you can make and bouffant for a more solemn occasion. You will need to split wet hair into two parts. Then the strands in the temples and neck are dried and straightened with an ironing machine. And the curls on the volume part are separated with a thin comb and combed. After that, they should be fixed with varnish.
At the final stage, the comb and the main part of the hair are fastened with varnish or stealth. For a delicate and feminine look, individual strands are processed with mousse and curled. For a business image, on the contrary, clear and even lines are inherent. Therefore, all strands are fixed gel or varnish.
