This is a pretty short haircut that will go far from every girl. Before you decide on a similar style, as carefully as possible assess all the nuances of their appearance.

For many centuries, women wore exceptionally long haircuts, but in the early 20s of the last century, beautiful ladies began to try on the masculine style, the most widespread during the First World War. Then women had to take on too many male responsibilities.

Long curls and romantic appearance prevented the ladies from engaging in economic recovery, working in large industries and doing agricultural work. Those times demanded from women determination and masculinity, which rather quickly affected their appearance.

After the publication of the book by the world famous novelist Victor Margherit "Bachelorette" began the craze for short haircuts. Young ladies all over the world tried to imitate the heroine they loved, which only increased the popularity of such a haircut as garcon.

Haircut garcon performed graduation method. This technology involves overlapping strands of different lengths in a given order. At the same time, additional volume is obtained at the crown, and in the lower part, strands are almost absent. A characteristic feature of the haircut is also considered thinning on the back of the head and in the templesDue to this, the hair in these areas adjacent to the head is quite tight, framing and emphasizing the contour.

Modern garcon is a good solution for women who want to completely change their image and form a new style, especially if the hairstyle was not short before. Laying haircut garcon takes very little time, it is very simple and requires a minimum set of tools: hair dryer, comb and styling mousses.

In most cases Garcon recommended for:

• young girls of thin build;
• women with an oval and triangular face shape;
• stunted ladies, leading an active lifestyle.

But the representatives of the weaker sex with curvaceous or tall statuses do not recommend such a haircut: short hair makes the features visually disproportionate.

Garcon is sheared according to a scheme that needs to be carried out strictly step by step.

• First you need to wash and thoroughly dry the hair, they must be clean and dry.
• The whole pile is divided into 4 parts: the occipital region, temples and parietal area.
• Strands, which will be located outside the working area, are fixed with clips so that they do not interfere with the necessary manipulations.
• First of all, they work the back of the head, then the curls are divided into two sections by direct parting and shear the control strand 1 cm long. Thus create the necessary volume in the upper part of the head, and at an angle of 45 degrees is cut.
• Parallel to the growth line, the hair is also pulled off by 90 degrees and cut. In this way, the required length is achieved, and then all the work is performed using external calibration.
• At the next stage, the region of the crown is treated, while the last strand taken in the temple area is used as a control.
• At the final stage, shear bangs. Cover the strands of the required length, if necessary, milled, take curls at the crown, nape and in the temples.
• Only the drying, modeling styling remains, and the hairstyle is ready.

At first glance, they are similar, but experienced craftsmen will say that they differ in many respects (in different lengths and shapes). Garcons are peculiar rounded smooth lines and pronounced outlines, thanks to which the laying completely repeats the shape of the head, while Gavrosh and the pixies do not have a pronounced contour - they are created with the help of substantial filing.
