Chelsea haircut: what is and to whom?

The modern rhythm of life has changed everything. Above all - focus on the main goals in life. Therefore, the simpler the hairstyle and clothes, the better. One of the female haircuts stands out among others. Being initially strictly male, Chelsea found female fans among the weaker sex and migrated from informal communities to the masses.

Women's chelsea haircut appeared a few decades ago. There are two versions of her appearance.

• Her "parents" are gardeners from England. In the 60s of the 20th century, they invented a new method of cutting trees. In the spring, they cut off the upper part of the tree crown, leaving the shoots untouched. Hairdressers liked their idea: they shaved off the hair on their heads, without touching the back of their heads and temples.
• The creators are representatives of a new youth subculture called skinheads. The working class promoted its ideology to the masses - they expressed contempt for the bourgeois class, went crazy with reggae and cut their hair bald. Skinhead girls did not lag behind men, but did not go bald. They left a small hedgehog on their heads and stained long strands in black.

Chelsea is a haircut almost like a boy. To give femininity, girls leave long strands-feathers on their heads. The lower curls on the back of the head should be the longest: to the neck or below the shoulders. They can be combed back, imitating short hair. Because of the quick and uncomplicated transformation from one image to another, the hairstyle is liked by young ladies, whose mood changes five times a day.

In the seventies of the 20th century, when the hairstyle appeared, without hesitation, they dyed the strands-feathers in black. Today, they choose for them brighter color solutions: they paint in one color, contrasting natural, or different. The shade is selected for long strands, and short natural blond, chestnut, red or any other color do not touch. Otherwise, a haircut will make the girl look like a parrot. If you want brightness, color-strand feathers in different colors.

A hair dye technician is a lot. The most popular ones are highlighting and coloring. If the hair is dark, the feathers are stained in contrasting shades (red, white, pink, ashy). If they are bright, then the best colors for strands will be blue, brown, green or black.

Chelsea is a haircut for young, energetic women. Having made it, they look extravagant and bolder, especially if they have regular facial features and expressive eyes.

• Face type: round (without bangs) or oval. Girls with other types of faces do not despair, but seek advice from a stylist. If you cut the temples short, the features will soften.
• Hair color: any. The hairstyle goes to blondes, brunettes, brown-haired women.
• Hair structure: any. It is not an obstacle if the curls curl, but with curls do not choose this haircut.

There are several types of chelsea haircuts. Young and courageous girls cut short hairs on the head, leaving short lengthy strands on the temples and a thin bang. Older women make a 4–5-mm hedgehog at the crown, and strands-feathers of different lengths are evenly distributed over the entire circumference of the head. The hairdresser will offer them another option: hair 5 cm long at the top smoothly into long thick curls.Haircut is difficult to repeat at home.

A simple chelsea haircut is done at home, calling for help a girlfriend who has minimal skills in hairdressing. You will need the following tools:

• sharp scissors;
• hair clipper;

The main feature of the chelsea haircut is that there are many ways of styling: you can change every day or several times a day.

• Aggressive image. Short hair is shaped with a gel to form a hedgehog, and long strands are twisted to one side.
• Serious and laconic image. Strands smooth with mousse or foam, not giving them the shape of a hedgehog, and curls twist in different directions.
• Feminine image. Short hair is made of “cap”, and long strands are laid along the entire length or only at the ends.

The chelsea haircut is specific, but the outfits for it are different: either as a youth or in a strict style. To emphasize its texture, wear clothes with an open neckline. On weekdays, they dress in American T-shirts, jeans shirt dresses, leather jackets, polo shirts, capes and leather jackets. On holidays, they change: curls curl and put on dresses on thin straps or with open shoulders.

With a short hairstyle can not appear at work in a serious organization, where there is a strict dress code and regulated appearance. In addition, it looks awkward in combination with business suits and dresses. Before you choose a Chelsea haircut and run to the barbershop, they wonder if it will become a reason for dismissal. If they work in a democratic company where the dress code is not respected, they do it without thinking. This is especially true of young ladies, for whom “chelsea” is a matter of principle and a way of expressing the inner “I”.
