Average hair length is considered one of the most versatile. Her happy owners can afford a variety of haircuts and styling. The great advantage is the possibility of endlessly experimenting with your own image. It is worth making a small graduation, change the color or just curl the curls, and the image will be completely different.
Kinds
With all the variety of haircuts on the average length of them can still be divided into types. Each master has his own secrets of realization of this or that idea. therefore even one and also haircut may vary in nuances.
Plays a big role and hair color. Thus, the selected strands repeatedly emphasize the beauty of a multi-layered haircut. Solid color perfectly shows itself on the hairstyles such as square. Consider the most popular types of haircuts that exist at the moment.
Cascade
A haircut that has not gone out of fashion for more than a decade. First of all, stylists recommend doing it to girls who want to achieve additional volume. It is perfect for fine hair. Strands of various lengths do not “crush” each other, but are in free fall.
Cascade has a lot of variations. A haircut will look differently if you just change the length of the upper or lower layer.
In addition, you can add personality by making locks of different lengths all over your head.
There are three main types of haircuts: double, graduated, ragged. In the first case, the head will be clearly visible two rows of hair that differ in length. In the second, the strands of one layer can have different lengths, but you can still trace their overall orientation. In the latter - the hairstyle has no clear layers. When laying creates the impression that the strands stick out like feathers.
Versatility hairstyle is in the ability to change it with different styles. It can be beautiful curls that will fall down beautifully. In addition, each of them will be different from the next in length.
Or you can use the iron, giving your hair a perfect smoothness, but in this case you should not count on the volume.
Ladder
Very feminine haircut. She is preferred by both young beauties and ladies of older ages. A huge plus is the fact that hair length remains intact. This is especially valuable for those who wish to grow hair.
As for the main feature, it lies in the fact that the strands near the face are trimmed along the scythe. So, the closest ones will have a minimum length, further extending and comparing with the length of the main mass of hair.
If you have naturally thin hair, then such a haircut will help to create additional volume. Laying it down is pretty simple. First you need to create a basal volume, then twist the ends of the "ladder" to the face. With this hairstyle, you will feel comfortable in the office and at a friendly party.
Bean
In the classical sense, the bob is a rather short haircut. The length of the strands near the face barely reaches the end of the chin. But based on it, stylists create and elongated bean At the same time, the length at the back of the head remains rather short. In front, they can go down almost to the shoulders. And to name this one short now no one will allow.
Another feature is filleted strands. Without this, it is difficult to achieve the volume that is peculiar to this hairstyle.Many people mistakenly believe that this haircut does not allow you to create different images. But it is not. One has only to change the place of parting, to make it oblique, or even to comb the curls back, as the whole image changes.
Of the features can be noted the need to constantly adjust the haircut.
On the back of the head the length remains small, so even growing back a couple of centimeters, the deformation of the entire hairstyle becomes very noticeable.
Long caret
Are there any girls who have never in my life cut their hair under a square? But if, in its classical interpretation, a haircut implies a short length (approximately to the ear lobes or higher), then the elongated version can even go down to the shoulders.
The peculiarity of this type of haircut in an even cut. Remember the image of Cleopatra. The ideal smooth surface of hair of the same length, and yet the same straight cut. And if the ancient Egyptian beauty preferred to wear it with a bang, then you can do without it.
It is a mistake to believe that such a haircut does not require styling. Many people think that once the hair is trimmed as naturally as possible, then they themselves will lie without external intervention. If you rely on this, then in the end you will get just hanging strands, devoid of volume and the desired smoothness.
But to create a volume on this hairstyle is not difficult, since the length is small. It is necessary only to lower a head down, and to dry the hair dryer. The ideal directness will help to achieve the iron.
Graduation
The name of the concept of graduation comes from the word "degree." This explains the main feature of this type of hairstyles. The wizard must hold the scissors at a certain angle to reach smooth transition length.
When compared with the cascade, they have both common properties and differences. The similarity lies in the different lengths of the strands all over the head. But in the cascade version, you can easily see the different layers. During graduation, the transition is carried out so smoothly that it is sometimes not possible to see it.
There are three main areas of graduation. In the first embodiment, the cut of the hair at the bottom is a straight line, but you can see a smooth transition of length. The thicker the hair, the greater the transition line. In the second variant, the length of the strand along the entire length is allowed. So, there can be very short strands on the crown, but the total length reaches the shoulder line.
In the latter case, it may be possible to change the length of the strands from the face to the back of the head in one direction or the other.
Asymmetry
It is difficult to list all possible variations of this type of hairstyles. Each girl can choose their own style. In addition, masters often offer interesting ideas for their implementation.
Speaking in general terms, asymmetry can be observed in the length of hair on different layers. In this case, it will be very similar to the cascade hairstyle. Another option could be a hairstyle, in which the length of the hair on the left and right sides of the face will be different. Moreover, it can smoothly flow into one another, or the transition can be very sharp.
The latest options include haircuts with a shaved temple on one side. Such haircuts were at the peak of popularity a couple of years ago, but even today girls who want to show their personality often make this extravagant option.
Clear geometry
It is worth noting that such haircuts require from their owners an ideal skin condition and a regular oval of the face. Only in this case they add beauty. Clear lines emphasize the face. And if even minor rashes are observed on the skin, then everything will be very noticeable.
A classic smooth bang helps to emphasize clear geometry. The hairstyle does not demand special skills from the master or application of non-standard approaches. One has only to trim the hair on a flat line, in a similar way to do with bangs. If the hair is thin, and you want to add volume to it, then you should give up the haircut. It is also contraindicated for girls whose hair is prone to cross-section. The edges will not keep the line so clearly.
One of the possible solutions may be periodic trimming of the split ends.
"Aurora"
Hair "Aurora" was invented by stylists many years ago. Depending on fashion trends, it underwent some changes, but remained one of the most popular. If in the 80s it was fashionable to make the top layer very short, creating a kind of cap on the head, and the ends practically had no volume and hung down straight strands, today this option is not in trend.
The second name is Italian hairstyles, since she comes from this sunny country. It is characterized by airiness and lightness. She, like the cascade, there is a difference in length, but here it is more pronounced. I.e the first layer is much shorter than the second.
This approach allows you to create very feminine and at the same time voluminous haircuts.
With a bang
We already wrote about the version of hairstyles with bangs, when considered quads. But this choice is not limited. It can be absolutely any length, slope and thickness.
Thanks to this, a variety of images is achieved. After all, any girl will confirm that it is only necessary to make a bang, without changing the hairstyle itself, as the whole image changes. Among the diversity there are several main areas.
Oblique fringe
It is ideal for haircuts with graduation or type of cascade. Different lengths of strands will be emphasized by the inclination of the fringe itself. With this option bangs You can hide some flaws, but still the face will remain fairly open.
And also it will be appreciated by girls, who by nature have a whirlwind in the zone close to the forehead. It is very difficult to lay it in a flat bang, but if you reduce the length in this part, and to profile the zone at the roots, then the bang will fall in an even layer.
Torn bangs
This option is often found in the corresponding hairstyles. If all the strands are made using this technology, then direct bangs will look like an alien element.
Classic bangs
All imagine this variation. She perfectly masks an unnecessarily high forehead, and is also well suited for young ladies with round features.
Debut
Another haircut, in which you can observe different lengths of strands. This is a kind of symbiosis of the ladder and cascade. The fact is that near the face, the strands resemble a ladder and beautifully frame the face. The length of the main mass of the hair will also not be uniform.
Another distinguishing feature is the presence of bangs. In the classic version it is always present, although you can do without it. It all depends on your oval face and personal preferences.
Haircut is quite complicated in execution. The master must think over the length of each layer in advance and predict how it will look on a specific client.
Girls with an elongated oval face should abandon it, but for those who want to adjust an unnecessarily round or square shape, it will fit perfectly.
Creative haircuts
It is necessary to open any specialized magazine for hair stylists, as you will see very unusual and creative haircuts. Most of them will remain forever “museum” exhibits, because only the most courageous (if there are such) can decide how to bring them to life.
But sometimes even the most avant-garde currents move from the catwalks to everyday life. So it was with shaved temples (when on one side the temple was shaved under the minimum length, and on the other the length remains), which were initially perceived negatively by many. The same trend was observed in the hair of unusual colors.
If you are determined to create something unusual on your head, then why not try. The only serious limitation may be a strict dress code at work or school. Although in this situation it is possible to choose an option that will not be so extravagant, but it will be impossible to call him an ordinary one anymore.
How to choose?
Masters rarely share haircuts by hair color. There is no such hairstyle that would be perfect for blondes, but did not look at brunettes and vice versa. Here attention is paid to other individual parameters. One of the main features is an oval face. There are several types of them. And when choosing a haircut will be a fatal mistake not to consider this feature.
After all, even if the master does his job perfectly, but a haircut, by definition, does not fit your face type, this will only spoil the image.
Face shape
Oval
This type is considered a reference. This type of approach most of the existing hairstyles. This allows you to experiment endlessly with your own image. But still it is necessary to highlight those haircuts that emphasize the natural beauty. These include, in particular:
- quads;
- bean;
- cascade;
- The above options in combination with the bangs.
Such an hairstyle as a ladder will look beautiful with the oval face shape. It beautifully frames the face, emphasizing the beautiful oval.
But strict haircuts, with a clear geometry, will also look good.
A circle
Many girls make a critical mistake in selecting hairstyles for this type of person. Considering that their form is already too round, they deprive hair of any volume, as they think that it will make the face even wider.
If the hair will be straight strands lying around the face, it will further emphasize its shape. It will seem bigger. The additional volume will divert attention to itself, making the oval visually smaller. Therefore, many stylists agree that the following hairstyle will suit the round face type:
- asymmetry (visually corrects the shape of the face, giving it the right proportion);
- with oblique bangs (in this case, part of the forehead will be hidden, which will significantly change the proportions);
- volumetric (its main part should be concentrated in the upper part);
- a cascade and a ladder (strands near the face will hide the cheeks, and long curls visually stretch the face).
Rhombus
This face shape is very interesting. It is impossible not to notice a girl whose face shape resembles a real diamond. It is characterized by a narrow forehead, wide cheekbones and a pointed chin.
Many celebrities have this type of face and know very well which haircuts are best suited here. First of all, you should understand what you shouldn’t do with your hair. And this is primarily the volume in the area of the cheekbones. This will only aggravate the situation, making the cheekbones even wider, and the chin and forehead visually already. Also, it is not recommended to smoothly comb the hair and tidy it all up.
Consider those successful examples that emphasize the dignity of its owner. In the first places are elongated bob and square. Delicately framing the face, they will hide too wide cheekbones, and balance the oval.
You can try and options with elongated bangs. This will give mystery and sophistication.
In second place are haircuts that will fit in a certain way, namely: in curls or curls. If you have naturally curly strands, then you will only have to emphasize this with an appropriate haircut. Girls with straight hair will have to exert a little effort to create beautiful curls. But the result is worth it.
It should be noted that it is for this type of face that haircuts of medium length are best suited.
Too short will open cheekbones, and long - will not emphasize the natural beauty and not beautify the image.
Square
This type of face oval is characterized by a wide forehead and massive chin. The task of stylists will be to visually turn it into a classic oval. First of all, it is necessary to understand what mistakes should be avoided. This is primarily the volume in the area of the cheekbones and chin. This will only visually increase them, making the proportions even more massive.
Another mistake could be the choice of hairstyles with perfectly straight and even strands. This is contraindicated, as in no way correct the oval.
But the list of haircuts, which not only decorate the owners of a square face, but adjust the proportions.
- Haircuts with elongated bangs. If you have never worn such a bang, then the first time you may be uncomfortable. Strands will strive to fall on the face. Therefore, do not be afraid to use fixing means, so as not to be distracted by hair during the day.
- Ladder with curls. Elegant and romantic option. You do not need to put all the hair mass in curls. It will be enough to work out the strands that make up the ladder. On the rest it will be enough to curl the ends a little.
- Asymmetrical haircuts of medium length. If you have a habit of cleaning loose hair behind your ear, then this is your option. The fact is that the shorter side is often tucked behind the ear, and the long side frames the face. This is a very convenient and practical haircut. Looks very interesting option with curls.
- Haircuts with side parting and without it. The middle parting is strictly contraindicated for this type of person. He will only focus on a wide forehead. The side parting will distract attention and slightly shift the emphasis from the large forehead to the hair style itself.
Rectangle
If you think that nature has treated you unfairly by awarding such a face shape, then look at the list of famous people who clearly have this form. And all of them are considered recognized beauties and sex symbols. These include Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica-Parker and Salma Hayek. Is there a daredevil who will accuse them of the insufficiency of femininity or beauty.
The thing is, they skillfully learned how to select hairstyles to suit their individual characteristics.
We are also in a hurry to share with you the secret of current haircuts that are suitable for a rectangular face type. The average length visually lengthens the face and makes it rounder. Here are some tips to listen to if you want to look stylish and harmonious.

How to do?
To cut your hair yourself is very difficult. Even experienced masters trust their haircut to colleagues, since it is almost impossible to cut hair that is on the parietal part.
But even in this case, it is useful to know what is the way to perform modern haircuts. This will help you in more detail and clearly explain to the master, what are you waiting for as a result.
Kare on lengthening
This version of the hair remains at the peak of popularity among female haircuts for several seasons. Let's try to make out all the details of its creation.
To begin with, separate the hair with a straight part and collect two braids on top of it so that they do not interfere with the process. Separate a thin strand from below. Holding it with two fingers, cut to length. This will be the minimum length of your haircut.
Then, freeing strand by strand, we begin to form a haircut. We take only those strands that belong to the back of the head. In order to achieve elongation closer to the face, the strands must be delayed at an angle of 15 degrees relative to the head. Scissors are also kept at a slight incline. Due to this, each subsequent strand will be longer than the previous one, while there will not be a sharp difference in height.
Next comes the turn of the temples. Loosen the lower temporal strand from the side, also retract it and trim it off. However, it should be the same length as the nuchal. If you want a more revealed transition, then the scissors should be held at an angle (for elongation to the face).
Next, we act on the same principle as on the back of the head: free thin strands and cut them off, pulling them off at an angle. When done, comb your hair and trim the ends. The caret for elongation should have an even cut.
Bean
This hairstyle is distinguished by a more pronounced volume in the back of the head and in the area of the temples. This is achieved due to the fact that the master moves up strand by strand, they become shorter. But you will not see a clear difference. This model haircut requires a certain skill from the master, because in the end it should turn out with a perfect length transition.
Divide hair into 5 parts: 2 temporal zones, parietal, lower and upper occipital. Each must be braided and stabbed. Starting from the lower occipital zone, separate the strand by strand. Lightly pull it off at an angle and cut to the desired length. Take the following and also pull it off and cut it.
You can not worry about the fact that the strands are clipped in this position, each next will be slightly shorter.
Such manipulation will need to be done with the upper occipital and temporal zones. The parietal zone is processed most recently. Here it is necessary to move from the bottom up to the central parting. To hairstyle acquired volume and finished look, profile strands. Take care not to hurt the length.
Ladder
There are several options for haircuts. The great advantage is the fact that if you are satisfied with the total length, and you do not want to touch it, then you can easily make the “ladder” yourself.
If necessary, reduce the length of the bulk of the hair, it should begin with it. To do this, separate the hair straight parting. Starting from the back of the head, separate the strand after the strand and trim to the desired length. It will be necessary to do this first from one side, then from the other side. Reaching the ear line, stop.
Now go to the immediate formation of the ladder. To do this, comb the thin strand forward of the forehead. Identify the top and bottom of the ladder. Gradually separating the strands, make an oblique cut from the top point to the bottom. Next, you will need to separate strand by strand, and cut to a predetermined length, until you reach the line of the ear (on which you finished cutting the back strand).
Carefully comb your hair and once again go over the tips so that there are no sticking hairs left. If the hair is very thick, then it is recommended to additionally profile the ladder itself and the back. This will help the hairstyle to be lighter and to keep the volume and the specified styling line.
Another option could be step cutting of the strands near the forehead. In this case, the transition from one length to another will be more noticeable. But when laying (it will have to be curled with brushing or ironing) the curls will look very organic, gradually going down along the face.
It is worth noting that whatever haircut you choose, a huge role will be styling. If you do not give it proper attention, or even dry your hair in a natural way, without setting the shape, then the highest quality haircut will look messy.
