You cannot choose a hairstyle without knowing about its main features, without understanding the technique of execution and not finding the optimal variation for transforming yourself.
What it is?
"Fox tail" - a haircut, during which the back strands form a triangle. It was first made in the late nineties of the last century, giving the name in appearance: it looks like a fox's tail. Because of its simplicity and originality, it quickly became popular. In the XXI century, it has not undergone "global" changes, although it acquired several varieties.
Characteristics
Regardless of the structure and type of hair, every woman will find a suitable haircut for themselves. If they are in immaculate condition, then long even strands in the shape of a triangle will emphasize their beauty, brilliance, strength, and when they are damaged, ladies stop their choice on a graduated haircut. Consider certain features of hair and conditions for its creation.

There are no restrictions in choosing the technique of filing on sections and along the entire length, if the curls are thick and hard. With a “fox tail,” they laminate and straighten hair using keratin.
Advantages and disadvantages
Many are mistaken in recommending a haircut to women with only long hair. It is also suitable for the transformation of medium-length hair. Women will have charm and special charm, attracting men passing by like a magnet. It is not necessary to walk, dismiss them to demonstrate the styling done.
If during the haircut to change the trimming angle of the edges on the curls of medium length, and then collect them in a thick tail, then the everyday image will also change.

If the hairstyle bothers, there are two options for development of events. The first one is trimming with a straight cut if the length of the hair is not important. The second is a gradual decrease in the angle of the “tail” (it will lose its shape and an ordinary “ladder” will turn out).
Execution technology
There are two main variations of haircuts "fox tail" for medium hair. The first one is traditional, that is, a hairdresser cascades at the very ends, giving the hair the appearance of a triangle. The second is a layered haircut, where strands of different lengths are trimmed closer to the tip. It is made to girls with wavy and straight hair that is devoid of volume.
Haircut usually does not cause difficulties for hairdressers. They do it quickly, trying to prevent flaws that the client doesn’t like. It is rarely done at home, because it is difficult to repeat the symmetry of the strands - the cut must be the same on both sides. Since the hair is not too long, incorrectly trimmed strands will be noticeable.
Traditional do-it-yourself haircut:
- hair is washed or moistened with water from a spray bottle;
- the hairstyle is formed starting from the shortest strands of the face;
- shear hair backwards, making it step by step longer.
Laminated haircut with your own hands:
- as in the first case, hair is soaked;
- then they are divided into three parts, fixing each one on the head with hairpins;
- shear each part separately.
Interesting ideas
If a woman has thick and heavy hair, they lack airiness and volume, the “fox-tail” makes a cascade after shearing. Form on the control strands on each side, and cut them along the entire length, the maximum delaying up. Because of this, the top layer, the strands close to the face and the top are short, and the back straps will form.
Then make a V-edging to create maximum similarity with the tail of the fox.
If you want to do styling in a retro style, the tips are shaped using a round brush, turning it inward. However, this style will not work for girls who prefer a modern style of dressing.
Good with haircut "Fox tail" combining staining balazhij or shatush. By choosing any of these hair coloring techniques, it is important to make a smooth transition from one shade to another. They are more suitable for blondes who want to look natural. Thanks to such techniques, you can create the effect of sun-bleached hair. Balayazh and shatush - “sparing” methods of coloring, as only some strands are brightened.
Do you need bangs?
“Fox tail” is wonderfully combined with bangs. If a woman has a high forehead, an elongated face shape and straight hair, the bangs are done without thinking, and achieve even greater originality in appearance. If the length of the hair allows, opt for a careless milled bang. Due to the fact that it looks “ragged”, the image is more playful and fresh.
If a girl has curly or straight hair, her face is rounded or elongated, and she is not against daily styling, the bangs are made as long as possible. Subsequently, it is laid, fixing varnish or gel. This bang is recommended to do the owners of hair of medium length, devoid of volume. But it does not matter if there are no bangs.
Her absence simplifies the styling process, opens the girl's face and demonstrates its natural appeal.
Haircut "fox tail" is not advised to make women who by nature have hair very curly. The only way to cut them in this way is to draw them out with an “ironing”, but on strongly curly hair, the effect of the “foxtail” will be hardly noticeable.
