Haircut bob - a kind of square, which came into vogue in the last century. And its uniqueness is that over time it does not lose its popularity. Today, there are several types of haircut under the bob. And if the classic is known and understood by many, then experimental variations on the type of oblique bangs remain frightening. This article will try to dispel the myths and answer all your questions so that you can safely go on experiments.
Tips before cutting
Short haircuts are radical for many, but very effective. In any case, before the decision you need to carefully consider some questions.
- How much are you ready to change the style and short cut the hair. Sometimes a person can make impulsive decisions, for example, in the mood. This does not always end badly, but in the case of short hair, you need to be clearly aware of the correctness of the decision, since then you will need to grow their length for a very long time. Therefore, if you have a similar idea, think a couple of days and make an informed decision. If the desire did not release you after the specified time, then you can safely go to the hairdresser.
- Study in detail all possible options. Hairdressing has advanced very far, so there are many options for transformation, more than a dozen. You can also search for prototypes on the Internet. Of course, you need to realize that the picture there is a professional photo shoot, a lot of varnish and each curl is laid by hand. Nevertheless, photos and videos can be the basis for further communication with your master, and he will better understand what you want to receive as a result.
- And the last: find a specialist you trust. If you can trim the tips in any barbershop, then for radical change is too great a risk. A hairdresser should know your hair and lifestyle and, most importantly, should act to your advantage. In this case, the master will be able to make adjustments that will benefit you.
Bob hairstyles
So, the bob hairstyle is a good way to change the image. But a lot depends on the quality of your hair and face shape. In general, this hairstyle is divided into a direct option and oblique strands. Each of them has its own subtypes. We will analyze the second model in more detail.
Classical
The classic straight line is clear and straight contours. Hair is cut to the earlobe, sometimes bangs and partings are added. The result is a hard contour that emphasizes a person’s face. If the contours of the face are already quite clear and large, then this will make them more expressive, and soft ones, on the contrary, will acquire severity. Perhaps the haircut will look better on thick hair, as they give extra volume and pomp.
Now, starting from the classics, you can move on to unusual options.
Extra long bob
It is a contrasting combination, where a short nape and long strands in front. The extension is trimmed at an angle and the neck opens as a result. The transition may be smooth or, conversely, more abrupt. It is suitable for most types of face, it can even correct some nuances. The parting changes depending on your preferences.
This haircut is good because the different length suggests a wide variety in daily hairstyles. On the other hand, such work requires regular correction in the cabin so that the difference in the length of the curls is maintained.
If you decide to change the hairstyle, it will be necessary to trim everything to the minimum length and grow it like that.
With oblique bangs
In this embodiment, the main element is a fringe, the length of the remaining hair may be short or extended. But if in the classic hairstyle bangs or not, or it is straight, then in this haircut it is in the form of an arc, a triangle or in a "torn" form.
Let's start with a more popular option - arc bangs. It is important to note that this form is not suitable for everyone. She gives the face a more round shape, so it is perfect for a girl with a face resembling a rectangle or a triangle. And also oblique bangs will help to hide the asymmetry of the face.
The size of bangs is an individual indicator. It can either cover half of the face, or only slightly cover the forehead, creating additional volume. The same applies to its length.
You can continue to experiment with bangs and make it triangular or ultrashort. It all depends on your image and courage.
Regarding the rest of the hair length, the bob itself can be both shortened and long. And the bangs may end flush with the front strands or, conversely, differ in length.
The advantages of this option: an interesting appearance and the possibility of experiments. For example, easy cheating only bangs, which will give playfulness to the image. Of the shortcomings - you will need extra time in the morning for laying bangs. And the second point - if you have never walked with a similar hairstyle before, then it will be unusual that the hair climbs into your eyes, you will need to constantly correct your hairstyle.
Graded bob
This is a way of haircut, when the hairdresser deliberately makes a sharp chaotic transition from long hair to shorter.
Such a haircut is a great option if you have split ends, since this form will hide them very well. In addition, there is a moment of coloring hair, if they are branches, and you decide to return to the natural color. In addition, the gradation creates an excellent volume.
This hairstyle is especially suitable for people with a square or rectangular face. She is the same as the previous hairstyle, a little soften the sharp corners. Another plus is that it does not require careful daily styling, but only if you like a light, slightly disheveled look.
Asymmetrical bob
This is a very modern and interesting hairstyle. In fact, the hairdresser also works with different lengths, but unlike an elongated bean, one side can be short and the other side long. This is the secret of asymmetry. This hairstyle is very popular with Hollywood stars and in fact looks very impressive. The difference can be emphasized more strongly with the help of barrettes or make the transition as smooth as possible, although then outwardly the highlight will not be so noticeable.
Features haircuts
As with any hairstyle, the bob has its own characteristics both in the process of the hairdresser's work and in the further care. In order not to be disappointed the day after the barbershop, it is better to be prepared for all difficulties in advance.
- According to the type of hair for a bob haircut, any curls are suitable, except curly hair. But it all depends on the type of bean you choose. Heavy, straight hair suggests a clearer and more structured shape. Supple and soft hair acquires a lighter shape, which will need to be laid even by hand, twisting the ends of the strands inside. If you have wavy or curly hair, then in fact you can also make a bob. Another point is that you will not get pronounced hair boundaries. That is why such a head of hair is not recommended to make an asymmetrical shape or bangs.
- Preferred and better hair thickness. Bob on thick hair looks more spectacular and easier to clean. Optimum and average thickness. It is also possible to make a bob on thin hair, but in order that the strands do not hang ugly and shapelessly, they need to be combed and styled regularly.
- Required hair length. As you already understood, for the initial stage it will be better if the hair is long. This will give the hairdresser more opportunities for experimentation. In general, it is also possible to make the correct shape of a bean on medium hair. The most problematic is short hair. If it is under the boy, then first they need to grow. If, nevertheless, there is a small length, for example, up to the shoulders or slightly higher, then you can only make classics and cut the bangs.
- Regarding the care, such a haircut requires a few moments. First of all, it is a daily installation. Only a few types of hair will look good immediately in the morning, in other cases you will need a hair dryer and styling tools, especially for bangs. Nor can you make a tail or a pigtail. Probably, it will be available only on the elongated bean. One last thing: if you have already decided to change your image, then you need to remember that to return to long hair will take time or use a build-up.
