Not losing its relevance hairstyle is a ladder. This is a design option for hair, in which the curls differ in their length. Hair can have all sorts of options for registration, but in this material we will focus on the ladder without bangs.
Advantages and disadvantages
Fashion is always back. The ladder was famous in the 70s of the last century, but no less common and loved by women today. This haircut is perfect for evening hairstyles, does not require special skills for everyday styling. Long-haired girls can refresh their hair, leaving the main length. Want a bold image - make a haircut with torn strands and a large distance between the steps. If you like a light romantic charm, make a smooth transition to a neat oval on long strands.
Like any haircut, a ladder will look carelessly on sick and unkempt hair. The split ends of the ladder are visible immediately along the entire length. Owners of short haircuts will not be able to make a neat "licked" tail due to insufficient length of the front strands. Too wavy and curly hair harder to style.
With care to the ladder need to treat girls with very thick hair: a haircut will add extra volume hairstyle. The long face due to the option of a haircut without bangs will lengthen even more.
Who is going to?
Ladder without bangs well suited girls with a small forehead. The face will visually stretch, excessive roundness or bulging ears will be hidden behind the falling strands. Masked wide cheekbones or jaw, close-set eyes. Proper styling will hide the excessive angularity of the face.
The ladder is a great solution for girls with a square face, as it will smooth its rigidity. Narrow and triangular faces will become more proportionate due to the front strands and total shearing volume. A round face visually lengthen the ladder without bangs.
Especially advantageous ladder will look at girls with sparse hair, as it visually increases their density. It is best to make the steps for owners of straight or slightly wavy hair, as styling will be done many times easier.
Also suitable for haircuts many colors. Streaked curls will make the emphasis on individual strands, giving the image expressiveness.
Kinds
The types of ladders can be divided according to two criteria: the length of the hair and the distribution of strands on the head. With the second criterion, everything is simple: the steps can be located only on the strands of the facial oval or all over the head. The first criterion is more detailed.
On long hair
This haircut does not affect the overall length, gives the hair shape. On long hair, you can experiment: make large intervals between the steps, giving the hairstyle a ragged look, or smooth out the cut line as much as possible, getting a smooth, uniform oval. The first step can start from the jaw or shoulder - the master chooses the option that suits your face type.
On medium hair
Best suited for straight strands. Wavy or curly hair of medium length will have to be regularly styled with a hair dryer to maintain the well-groomed appearance of the hairstyle, which is why the tips will start to split quickly.
This option is suitable for girls of different types, because it is able to mask problem areas unnoticed. The first step comes from the cheekbone or jaw line.The higher the ladder begins, the stronger the transition will be visible.
On short hair
The most individual haircut. Sharp, ragged transitions are preferred. Requires the most care and styling with the help of foam, mousse or varnish. Option without bangs should be used with caution and only with a competent master to avoid artificial tearing hairstyle, the feeling of incompleteness.
When choosing a haircut, focus on the thickness and type of your hair. Also on the Internet, there are a large number of applications where you can “try on” different versions of hairstyles.
How to make at home?
The necessary materials for cutting at home: two mirrors (for viewing the front and rear), scissors, comb with fine teeth, clips for hair. The room should be well lit.
Pay special attention to the choice of scissors. The best option - hot, preventing the formation of brittle tips. In second place are the hairdressers. If you take ordinary scissors, check if they are sharp enough. Because of the blunt instrument, the hair will begin to tangle and split.
The procedure for creating a ladder without bangs must be strictly followed so that the result does not bring disappointment.
- Moisten hair, as cutting dry strands will speed up their section. The exception is the use of hot scissors.
- Divide hair into 4 square pieces and fasten it with clips. When separating, consider where the parting will be.
- Choose a strand from the first sector. The formation of strands begins at the head.
- Lift the strand at a right angle relative to the head and cut off excess hair. Tip: hold the scissors at a 45 degree angle to the plane of the head (parallel to the fingers holding the strand).
- Cut off the excess hair of each strand of the sector along the length of the first strand. Each strand should be parallel to the previous one. Gradually move from the head to the temples.
- After working all the strands, comb and trim hair. At this stage, they do not need to be delayed.
- Dry and blow-dry your hair.
On long hair, we recommend cutting the upper step at the base of the neck. On the short top short step is done on the crown.
A simplified version of cutting the ladder without a bang on medium-length hair:
- tie the tail on the frontal part;
- cut to the desired length (be sure that the upper step starts from the earlobe);
- spread the tail and trim the haircut.
Tip: before you experiment on your own hair, practice on special dolls for hairdressers or other people. To cut oneself is much more difficult - not all specialists manage this. Do not save time - it will not pay off in case of failure. Do not forget how long you grew your hair before cutting.
Update haircut is better every 1.5–2 months to prevent the appearance of split ends.
Styling options
Properly made ladder on well-groomed hair will not require complicated styling. Especially easy to styling straight and slightly wavy hair.
Classical types of laying of a short flight of stairs without bangs: with tips inside or outside. For both options you will need a hair dryer, mousse, foam, or other fixing means, brush brushing. The flow of hot air must be directed from the top down. Do not try to twist the strand on the brush, and perform a neat twisting movement, as if combing the hair inside or outside. The option outward is more suitable for girls with the face of the correct oval shape, as it does not hide obvious flaws. For a triangular and square face, twisted inward strands will fit.
If we talk about straight tips, then this option is better suited for thick hair, as it visually reduces the amount of hair. Apply strong fixing agents (gel or wax) to the tips. Blow-dry your hair with tips. A stream of the hair dryer direct from top to bottom.
Daily styling can be done in five minutes: lower your head and dry your hair, directing the flow of air from the roots down.To keep the tips from fluffing from the hair dryer, apply a foam or mousse on them.
To get light negligent waves, blow-dry hair twisted in a bun for 5–7 minutes. Effect fix varnish. Also, a careless effect can be created by slightly compressing each strand of loose hair during drying. The latter option is not suitable for girls with straight hair, as the curls will not keep the desired shape and quickly disintegrate.
It is enough for owners of curly hair to apply the foam over the entire length and distribute the strands around the face, emphasizing the difference between them. The result is desirable to fix varnish.
Ladder without bangs allows you to create beautiful hair. Here are some options:
- horse tail or bundle with loose front strands;
- a knot of short strands tied at the back of the head;
- For a romantic look, strands curled with a curling iron, a hairdryer, or curlers are suitable, while not forgetting to use thermal protection with an aggressive effect on the tips.
Do not be afraid to experiment, change, look at your image in a new way. Changing hairstyles helps refresh everyday life, improve mood, and sometimes drastically change your life. Every morning, smile at your reflection in the mirror and remember that you are beautiful.
