The technology of oblique bangs hairstyle can also be applied to the creation of the simplest version of the cascade. Oblique bangs can be:
- short or lengthening (depending on the angle of the cut line);
- smooth or filleted;
- flat or torn.
The choice of bangs depends on the facial features and condition of the hair. In addition, a great influence on the hairstyle has a style that adheres to a woman, and her lifestyle.
Kinds
All variations of this hairstyle can be divided into two types:
- when the cascade is cut only along the edge;
- haircut cascade not only on the edge, but also along the entire length of hair from crown to tip.
The first option gives the hair a light, dynamic form. This type of haircut is better suited for medium and long hair. Transition from short strands to long may be:
- smooth;
- more pronounced, jagged.
The fact how long the first strands begin with can seriously change the appearance of a woman. Here you can hide or open the cheekbones, mask the massive lower jaw, emphasize or remove the cheeks - that is, visually affect the proportions of the face.
Option with steps for all hair can be performed on any length of hair. But on short he looks the most advantageous. Even without styling such a haircut creates additional volume. Moreover, the master can identify problem areas and work them separately. Most often it concerns the neck.
In the case of very thin and sparse hair, additional funds are still needed. And also will save the situation of complex staining in several tones.
Another option is asymmetry. It assumes a difference in length between the right and left side. Sometimes it is enough that it is quite small, but quite noticeable. In some cases, the drop can be very sharp. Moreover, such a haircut is done at any length: on the one hand, it can be left almost unchanged, and on the other, it can be cut to short.
That the fashionable tendency did not turn into typical, the asymmetric cascade had its own varieties. Basically, they touch the head, because with the side parts everything is clear: they are sheared in a cascade. And behind the strands you can leave the same length as the control - from the face. Or make a smooth transition from one length to another (diagonally).
Thus, we get the synthesis of this haircut with others. For example, you can leave the cascade on the right and on the left to make an elongated caret.
