In our article we will look at the features, advantages and disadvantages of asymmetrical haircuts, “go through” the most fashionable trends, tell you how to choose the right haircut and how to care for it.
Features
Women's haircuts with asymmetry have a number of features.
- They are universal. It doesn't matter if you are young or have already reached an elegant age, thin, medium-sized or “pyshechka”, whether you prefer a sporty style of clothes or a strict office style - you can easily choose a stylish asymmetrical haircut that not only will not look out of place, but will add to the image zest "and emphasize the dignity of the face.
- This kind of haircut can perform on any hair: straight, wavy, curly and even heavily curly. Thin and rare curls, they give a visual volume, too thick, you can "pacify" by thinning.
- Asymmetry easy to stack, because, as a rule, the technology of this haircut itself assumes that the hair will “go” in a certain direction. In 10–15 minutes, everyday styling can be turned into a holiday one by simply structuring it with a curling, ironing or styling tool.

Advantages and disadvantages
Of course, asymmetrical haircuts have both advantages and disadvantages. Which of the following will outweigh and affect in the end your choice is up to you. So, the pros.
- The right type of haircut can visually rejuvenate the owner and highlight the strengths of her face.
- If your hair is “tired” of permanent styling with the help of thermal stylers, if their tips split off due to drying, the asymmetry cut will be able to fix it. Thinned curls, it will give additional volume, tame unruly strands and facilitate the daily ritual of the design of the hair in the hair.
- This kind of haircuts are even more interesting when dyeing. But even in this case is not limited. Each time, updating the master's hairstyle, you can add new details to it or, on the contrary, get rid of the annoying ones. Here is a good example: a shaven temple. At first you decided to just shave the hair off one side of the head, next time you asked the master to discolor the shaved part and 2 locks in the bangs. Next, you want to make the clarified parts pink. And, finally, they asked to shave an ornament on your temple. See how many options came out! And you can update them monthly.
- Haircut-asymmetry emphasizes facial features, highlighting the zygomatic part.With the help of this hairstyle, any face can bring even the most irregular shape to the ideal. It is only necessary to choose the right length and appearance of the haircut.
- Contrary to popular belief, asymmetrical hair can be framed not only on short and medium hair, but also on the curls of any length. And those who do not want to carry out radical experiments with their appearance, but want to add a “zest” to the image, can be satisfied with asymmetrically trimmed bang-strand.
- Some of this kind of haircuts do not require any styling, except for blow-drying using brushing and a drop of hairspray.
Now consider the cons of such hairstyles.
- A visit to the hairdresser should be your monthly duty. Otherwise, the haircut will lose its shape and will look sloppy.
- Any interesting hairstyle attracts attention to the face and hair. That is why your hair should always be clean and shiny, now you can not hide the curls are not the first freshness with the help of a “horse's tail”.
- If suddenly you want to grow hair to a uniform length, it will not be so easy to do and you will have to go through a not very pleasant period of “sloppy” head or cut the whole head of hair so that the curls become approximately the same.
Kinds
Varieties of asymmetrical haircuts - a great many, besides a professional creative hairdresser-stylist can come up with and offer you some of his own personal "trick". However, any, even the most unusual haircut is based on one of the basic haircuts, which will be given below. We used the gradation of the length of the hair, so that it would be more convenient for you to familiarize yourself with their list and choose something for yourself.
For short hair
The advantage of the girls who chose asymmetry for short curls is that experiments with a small length of hair imply frequent updates, and even if some detail is not quite to your liking, you can easily remove it when you next visit the master.
So, basic haircuts for short hair.
- Pixie. The mischievous, deliberately careless hairstyle with torn strands is loved by many young ladies. One of those haircuts that does not require styling: you just need to wash your hair, dry them with a hairdryer and fingers slightly moistened in the styling product, ruffle them. Pixie looks great with straightened or tinted strands - it creates the illusion of sun glare in your hair.
- Aurora. It differs from the previous version by a shortened crown and elongated strands framing the face. In its asymmetrical version, a torn fringe-strand is often cut to the side.
- Bean. The most common type of asymmetry for short hair length. Suitable for any face shape, enhancing its strengths and masking flaws. With this type of haircut, strands are graduated, bangs are trimmed along the scythe.
- Caret. The basis of the asymmetrically trimmed four of a kind can be any kind of it: classic, “on the leg”, for lengthening. When coloring it is better to limit one shade, preferably from a dark scale.
For medium hair
The average length is considered to be universal for any experiments concerning both coloring and cutting. The basic hairstyles for asymmetry are as follows.
- Long caret. From one side it can reach the shoulder, from the other - be shorter by 10-12 centimeters. Smooth transition is done on the back of the head. Such a caret is cut into a parting, and he will have to remain unchanged throughout the time he wears his hair. Bangs may be flat, beveled or absent altogether. This version of the haircut looks great on curly curls, as well as on the straight. Coloring is recommended monophonic.
- "Under the page." This hairstyle is difficult to imagine asymmetric, because it resembles a round cap, and one side should be a mirror image of the other.However, the stylists invented a special technique of cutting the strands, in which they lie in a circle, but asymmetrically. To perform this unusual hairstyle thick hair is desirable.
- She-wolf. Another very interesting haircut worthy of your attention. It received its name for some resemblance to a wolf's mane: heterogeneous strands- “feathers” are cut off along the entire length of the hair and frame the face in a cascade. By the way, the she-wolf differs from the haircut in that the hair is cut in steps in the back of the head, and the contour strands around the face are made shorter. A wolf is one of those hairstyles that practically do not require styling and are suitable for any face shape.
For long hair
And finally, consider the options for asymmetrical haircuts on curls, whose length falls below the shoulder line. There are also basic varieties.
- Ladder. Classics of the genre. It is her most often trimmed by young ladies who do not want to part with the main length, but who dream of renewing their hair, making it more “alive”. Variations of the “ladder” are different: for example, “ragged” strands can only make a face without touching the back of the head, or shear the hair in layers, graduating them. Asymmetric "ladder" - the best choice for chubby girls who want to visually "remove" the cheeks and highlight the cheekbones.
- "Rhapsody". Another favorite option for long-haired ladies. In the crown part of the head, strands are clipped, superimposed one on another in layers. Thus, the hairstyle becomes voluminous. To give even greater effect, it is recommended to paint “rhapsody” in several tones, creating the illusion of burnt locks.
- Shaved temple. I must say that this is a rather bold decision for young ladies whose hair length exceeds the average, because if such a haircut suddenly gets bored, it will not be easy to grow long curls again. But the hairstyle looks gorgeous. The shaved temple suggests the possibility of experimenting with staining in this part of the head, as well as shaving the pattern with a trimmer or a typewriter.
How to choose?
It is best to select an asymmetrical haircut based on the shape of the face, in order to emphasize its strengths and to obscure the weak.
This is what the leading hair stylists recommend.
- Face in the shape of a square, with a wide lower part, it is possible to transform and visually narrow it with a long bang-strand trimmed along the scythe. Also recommended are any haircuts with “ragged” inhomogeneous strands and a voluminous back part. It is also desirable to do the coloring in several tones.
- Triangle face With a long chin, a haircut for an average length of hair, for example, an asymmetrical four, is very beautiful.
- Oval shape It is considered perfect, so absolutely any hairstyle will go to such a face. You can "play" with the length of the hair, and with the structure of the haircut, and with the presence / absence of bangs.
- Chubby girls should focus on the visual narrowing of the face, on emphasizing the zygomatic arches and chin areas. Therefore, your choice is a four of a kind with an elongated oblique bang or a “torn” bean.
- Face in rectangle shape, in fact, it looks like a square one, only it is more elongated. It is important for its owners to “remove” the excessive “weight” of the chin and make it more elegant. Choose haircuts, volumetric in the temporal and crown regions, covering the lateral sides of the head. The length should not be short, it is best to choose the average. If you want to also cut the bangs, choose its asymmetrical version.
Scheme and technique
We want to bring to your attention the technology of asymmetric haircut a la "cascade" on the average length of hair step by step. So let's get started.
- The parietal and temporal zones are separated from the occipital by separating them in part by passing horizontally.Further, the hair on the back of the head is cut to the shoulders in a straight line, after which they are divided into vertical partings and graduated, and the length of the upper strands of the occipital region must be sharply increased.
- Now we make a parting that runs parallel to the hairline of the front part of the head. We get a strand from which we will need to form a face edging. We cut the bangs (if desired) and smoothly transfer it to the temporal region, making “feathers”, moving to the ears.
- We divide the hair into 2 parts with an oblique parting in order to create asymmetry. Remember that most of the hair you leave on the side that you want to leave long. Cutting curls from the "short" side, shape them manually, without using a comb, focusing on the longest strand on the back of your head.
- Perform a haircut, moving from the head area to the front.
- The final and probably the most difficult part is the design of that part of the hair that is larger. Cut hair using the “strand-on-strand” technique.

Care
Care for asymmetric haircut is in its periodic update, as well as in maintaining the cleanliness of the hair. Well, of course, in its proper installation. Most of these hairstyles do not need any special styling - just wash your head, sprinkle it with liquid to give volume and dry it with a hair dryer, pulling the strands with brushing, lifting them at the roots. On the formation of such a laying you will take from the force of 15 minutes.
