Graduated cascade haircut for many years remains fashionable. It is good in that it can be performed on long, medium and even short hair. In addition, it is very easy to care for her.
Features
The hairstyle is created by the formation of hair of different lengths in the form of steps or the so-called cascade. This is a multi-layered haircut, with each lower strand longer than the top. In this case, the transition may be smooth or deliberately underlined. In the modern version of the bean-cascade, the occipital part is usually shortened, whereas in the middle several stretches are often left. Haircut bob is so diverse that its varieties are often confused with each other. For example, many girls often confuse a graduated bean with a cascade. And indeed, these two styling are similar to each other in their multi-stage. However, there are several differences.
- With cascade, the transition between strands is softer and smoother than with graduation. The bob cascade is also used to create additional volume at the back of the head.
- With cascading haircut, you can visually correct the shape of the face with the help of various elements: for example, bangs or strands of different lengths near the face. With a graduated bean, such a technique is impossible.
- The bob cascade looks more harmonious on long or medium hair, while the graduation is most often performed on short haircuts.

Choice of styling
Despite the fact that this haircut is almost all, there are several features that should be considered when styling. So, smooth transitions of length, which are peculiar to this hairstyle, look more expressive on blond hair. On the dark they are not visible enough. And also there are several rules for cutting, depending on the shape of the face. Owners of the correct oval fit any shape and length. They are suitable as ultrashort haircut, and elongated strands. In addition, they will decorate and bangs, and its absence.
Chubby beauties need to be more careful when choosing a haircut. They should stick to styling without a bang or make it asymmetric, elongated to one side. It is better to make the crown shorter, and the strands framing the face should be gradually pulled downwards. The triangle face shape will ideally look like a multi-layered cascade with profiled hair tips.
To distract attention from too expressive cheekbones will help thick straight bangs, starting from the top of the head.
Depending on the length of the hair, there are also several nuances that will make the haircut look more attractive. So, for a short length with an open neck, a cascade is applied all over the head starting from the top of the head. It looks very attractive oblique bangs with the effect of torn tips, smoothly turning into the main length. In the classical cascade, the haircut starts from the top, and the length drops are smooth and inconspicuous. The Art Nouveau cascade has sharper transitions from one step to another.
The medium-length bob cascade can be a compromise when you want to look fashionable and modern, but still be feminine and romantic. In this case, the length of the curls increases gradually, not only from the top of the head to the bottom, but also from the occipital to the temporal region. The elongated bob cascade assumes the size of the hair to the shoulders. This haircut is ideal for fine hair. An extended bob cascade will allow you to experiment with styling.
To create a romantic image, you can twist strands of hair near the face with a round comb or curling. To make the haircut more expressive, you can make a contrasting color.
Execution technology
To perform a bob-cascade haircut, besides the usual scissors, it is necessary to have a tool for hair filing. The hairstyle is carried out in two ways.
- In the first case, the center determines the main strand, which is fixed with clips. The width of the strands is aligned with parallel partings. The main strand is given the required length, by which all subsequent strands are oriented. Then cut the curls on the back of his head and temples.
- The second method involves phasing one strand after another. First of all, the length of the hair at the back of the head is formed, then it moves upwards towards the crown. In both cases, the final step of the haircut is to fille the ends of the hair in order to add volume to the hairstyle.
When laying your own bob-cascade haircut, it’s enough to follow two basic rules that will help you look well-groomed:
- mandatory giving pomp hair at the base;
- design tips.
To quickly and accurately lay the bob-cascade haircut in the daily version, it does not take much time and effort.
Enough to equip a hair dryer and a round comb. Freshly washed and slightly damp hair blow-dry, lifting them with a round comb at the roots, creating the necessary volume. When the hair is almost dry, you can slightly wrap the ends of the hair using brushing. If you like straight hair, strands can be pulled using the ironing for hair. It creates a lamination effect. The styling will look like after visiting a beauty salon.
The festive version of the bob cascade hairstyle is created in a similar way. Strands are raised with a hairbrush at a right angle and also dried with a hair dryer. Only pre-applied to the hair foam or other cosmetic product to create volume. A small amount of gel or cosmetic wax is applied to the ends of the hair and spread with your fingers.
It is very important not to overdo it with the amount of gel so that the hair does not look greasy and scruffy.
Tips
- Begin to dry the hair with longer curls. First, they are simply dried with a hairdryer, and then, when they are already dry, they begin to shape them.
- Shorter strands are dried last. Twisted on brashing or curlers strands need to unwind, when they have cooled. If they deploy hot, they will not hold the form.
- When drying hair, it is better to use a hairdryer with a built-in fan or cold air function. Dry hair should be alternating streams of hot and cold air. A hot air jet will help to dry hair faster, and a cold one will not let them dry out.Thus, the strands dry evenly and keep their shape for a long time.
- The tips of the bob-cascade hair can be twisted up or down. The latter option is able to soften unnecessarily sharp facial features and make the image more feminine. However, if the ladies have pronounced cheekbones, it is better to tuck the ends of the hair inside.
- If the bob-cascade is made on heavily curly hair, it is necessary to straighten them when styling, using an iron and special cosmetics. They are also not recommended to twist the tips of the strands up.
