Kare's haircut is so successful that it was very popular with women at all times. Thanks to the work of craftsmen who have improved and modified the hairstyle, there are many of its subspecies. One of them is an elongated bob for long hair. This choice is suitable for many women, regardless of age and face, and is considered a classic. The photo shows an example.
What type of face is an elongated square suitable for?
Although an elongated bob is a universal haircut, it must be done correctly and take into account various factors and features of the shape of the face in order to hide flaws and emphasize beauty.
One of the advantages is that the square is practically independent of the woman's hair density. Also, an elongated bob is a suitable option for those women who want to change their image, but do not want radical changes.
What a square looks like on a round face
Chubby people often have problems finding the right haircut. An elongated square for long hair, the photo of which is presented below, will help to hide flaws, to stretch the face visually. The parting has a significant impact, which must be taken into account - to make the side.
The strands should be distributed with the expectation that the lower face area looks heavier, but the face itself is elongated. To accomplish this point, either straight strands or curled outward are suitable. Curling the strands inward will only emphasize the circle of the face, reducing it visually. You should also give up bangs, which will create unnecessary visual stress.
Square for an oval face
Owners of an oval face are much more fortunate - this shape does not limit the choice of haircuts, and most of them will look organic. This also happens with a square - for an oval face shape, you can select any type of square, limited only by your own imagination and fashion.
Different types of bangs are suitable for the oval of the face - long and short, there is an option of rejecting the bangs, leaving an open forehead, emphasizing it with benefit. If it is necessary to highlight the cheekbones and chin, then the elongated strands will perform this task perfectly.
For a square face
People with a square face need to take into account the thickness of their hair - to make their hairstyle voluminous. The angularity of the face will help to hide an asymmetrical square or a ladder. If you want to make a bang, you cannot cut it straight, as this visually makes the face heavier.
A graduated haircut should not be done for women with a thinner and short hair structure - they will look even thinner. Wide-faced ladies need to do a perm, which will soften the angularity and add volume in the necessary places.
For a triangular face
Stylists offer the following solution for ladies with a triangular shape: a square with an elongated bangs, provided the hair is thick, or a bob, where the side strands give the face shape grace.
For girls who love an original approach, you can make a "shaggy bob" haircut, which is characterized by the absence of heavy styling, although this option can quickly get bored. Also, too long, tapering strands visually lengthen the face even more, which is not recommended. You should give the bangs asymmetry.
In no case should you make it thick and short. A good option would be a bang - a transformer, which is cut below the eyebrow line, but at the same time it can be combed straight or to the side, which allows you to create your image according to your mood.
Types of an elongated bob for long hair
With extended front strands
An elongated bob for long hair will blend harmoniously with any face, especially if you lengthen the front strands. The photo shows an example of such a haircut. In this case, the front strands can reach different lengths - at shoulder level or below. This haircut is very suitable for women with straight hair.
But if the hair is curled, then the problem will be solved by straightening the hair with an iron. An elongated square can be made in the style of the classics, and with the addition of asymmetry - which is done taking into account the wishes of the girl. If there is no time to style your hair, or if it is unruly, then the problem will be solved by cutting in layers. This type of haircut resembles a cascade, but the number of layers there is slightly less.
With an angle and oblique bangs
If a woman has thin hair, then a square with an angle and oblique bangs will be the best option. In this case, the angle of the haircut can be varied at will, but it is worth observing certain ratios.
If the angle of the haircut is straight, then the front strands need to be slightly lowered, which is the difference from the classic square.
If the angle of the hairstyle is sharp, then the hair in the back should be cut short. The length of the front strands can vary and reach the collarbones.
The presence of side bangs is intended to emphasize the creativity of the hairstyle, and also significantly enhances the effect created by the lines. At the same time, the front strands are slightly curled inward, which can be done with a special round brush. If a girl wants to visually lengthen her face, then this option will be optimal.
The bangs should organically fit into the structure of the haircut, and not look like an independent, torn-off element. You should also follow the style - the classic square and torn non-standard bangs will be inharmonious and vice versa.
The bangs can start both above the middle of the forehead and below the eyebrows, but then the angle of the bangs should look more intense.
Smooth square
This model is considered a well-proven classic and has many advantages. For an even square, it does not matter what the structure of the hair is. In addition, laying of this type of square is much easier compared to others.
This option is especially suitable for those girls who want to get rid of untidy regrown tips. An elongated straight square for long hair is in harmony with all face shapes, as it has the ability to soften sharp corners. The photo shows various types of haircuts.
Elongated "bob" bob for long hair without bangs
To create such a haircut, the length of the hair is leveled from the back to shoulder level, and the front strands are cut longer. The advantage of such a haircut is that it can be stabbed with invisibility and create various images according to your mood.
The only drawback of this hairstyle is the difficulty of using it on curly hair and the need for constant straightening. Constant exposure to high temperature on the hair structure can damage it, so the beauty of a haircut will deteriorate with unkempt and unhealthy hair.
Long bob for short hair
This type of square has similarities with the classics, with the only difference that there is no bangs.Such a square will delight ladies with a square face, as it hides the corners of the cheekbones and takes the eyes away from the chin, softening it.
For girls with an oval face, it is recommended to twist the front strands a little inward or outward, this will add originality. An elongated bob is also suitable for curly hair, which can not be styled, because all the necessary volume is already there. But if the hair is too curly, then the square should be made even longer, otherwise it will not be noticeable.
Regular bob
This type of bob resembles a boy's haircut, but it looks much more creative due to the asymmetric strands present. This hairstyle will please ladies with a long neck and an oval face. If you add earrings, then the neck will look more graceful.
Coloring is often done on the bob square, which enlivens the appearance. Different colors, dyed hair ends make it even more original.
On the leg
A square on a leg is suitable for women with a triangular or oval face shape, especially if they are brunette. Dark hair color visually emphasizes the line of the neck. If the neck is low and large, then the impression of the hairstyle will deteriorate - it will look sloppy.
A square on a leg will delight ladies with lush hair. Owners of thin hair can correct the situation with styling.
On the leg with extension
For a square on a leg with lengthening, there are many advantages, such as masking flaws, does not require a specific hair structure, and is also suitable for all face shapes. In addition, care for such a haircut is ingenuous, and it does not require special styling and funds for it.
Bangs of different shapes can be an element of the hairstyle, but this point must be discussed with the master, due to the need to take into account the shape of the forehead, as well as the condition of the skin.
A square on a leg with lengthening and bangs will suit those girls who have an elongated face. Ladies with a round or square face are given long bangs, sometimes below the eyebrows. To soften the angularity, the bangs are given the appearance of a semicircle. Owners of an oval face should refrain from bobbing with bangs. An open forehead will look best, and the parting should be side.
Ball type square with lengthening
Such a square is called a ball because of its appearance. The haircut is suitable for people who love originality, because the hair, as if enveloping the head, looks extravagant, but not eccentric. A number of factors should be taken into account - this type of square, due to its unusualness, is suitable for those who do not have any strongly memorable features in their appearance.
A prominent chin or overly sharp cheekbones will ruin the impression. Also, the "ball" is strictly prohibited for women with a square face. Best of all, the square "ball" looks on girls with an oval face, especially if it is thin.
Haircut options for medium length hair
Graduated square
The graded square has gained great popularity largely due to the ease of styling with the appropriate effect of the image. Also, with the help of this square, the shape of the face can be adjusted, which is also important.
Graduated square looks equally good on straight hair and curly. When creating this type of square, the hair at the back is first cut and made as short as possible. The next strands are gradually lengthened.
Double square
With a double square, only two layers are made, which greatly adds volume. Now a double square is not so common due to the fact that styling is quite difficult to do, not every girl can do it, especially with a lack of time.
Asymmetric option
Asymmetry allows you to visually correct the face, with the only nuance that such a square looks best on straight hair. Graduation is done on curly hair.In an asymmetrical bob, the hair is divided into two parts - on the one hand, a bob is performed, and on the other, a classic bob.
How to style your hair beautifully at home
And although an elongated bob for long hair looks beautiful, it is necessary to do styling. The photo shows the process of leaving. Styling is straightforward, but factors such as face shape and hair structure need to be considered. Incorrect styling can ruin the look.
First of all, styling is performed on clean, slightly damp hair. Then a styling product is applied to the hair - it can be foam or mousse, which differs on the result you want to get.
For a square with a straight parting, the hair must be carefully separated into many separate strands, which are attached with hairpins. Further, using a hair dryer and a special hard comb, each strand is individually twisted. The main thing is not to overdo it with volume, otherwise the appearance will seem puppet and unnatural. Then you can apply a special shine serum on top.
A bob with a side parting is slightly different in styling. One of the original methods is to twist one part of the square inward, and the opposite one outward.
A square with a zigzag parting is laid using a hair dryer. To do this, the strands are shifted to one side and dried in such a way that some of them can be thrown over without problems - to create a zigzag. After that, the styling is fixed with a spray. It is recommended to use volumizing products.
For styling, you can use the corrugated tongs, which will help create an original styling in a fairly short time. In this case, you can corrugate both one strand and the entire hairstyle. After the shirring process, it is imperative to use a thermal protective spray, due to the fact that the effect of the tongs on the hair is extremely negative.
Another option is to style the long bob with long hair back. An example is shown in the photo. To do this, the hair towards the back of the head must be styled using a comb and hairdryer. It is necessary to use high-quality ultra-durable fixation sprays after styling, otherwise the hairstyle may fall apart over time.
