No matter how much you watch TV and walk along the streets, from everywhere: from advertising posters, banners, screens and monitors - charming girls with beautiful, well-groomed hair look at us, each of which boasts a perfect haircut or hairstyle. And Hollywood has long been the unchanging legislator of the "fashion" for appearance, ranging from the style of dressing to the "Hollywood smile." What can we say about hair.
But if few people can afford a dress, like that of Angelina Jolie, or Madonna’s smile, then copying the haircut of her idol has always been and will be the favorite way of youth to make their image more stylish. So gradually, and sometimes even instantly, the hairstyles of Hollywood actors with whom they appear on the red carpet or in the pages of magazines become a fashion trend, and stylists from all over the world begin to cut almost every second of their clients in a similar way.
But is it so good? After all, everyone has different face shapes, types and types of hair, and what suits one does not mean at all that it is just as good for the other. That is why, before going to the hairdresser with a photo of your favorite actor or singer and demanding "do the same," you need to think a lot, first of all, how this haircut will look on your hair.
Types of hair: is it possible to say that someone is more fortunate?
By type of hair can be divided into straight, curly and wavy. It is interesting that the owners of the direct type spend hours every day behind the mirror with a curling iron in their hands to give the curls a careless undulation, and envy those who have strands curling from nature. And the owners of the curly type diligently straighten them, spend a lot of money on expensive and not very useful straightening procedures, such as keratinization or lamination, secretly dreaming that their hair would be always straight and obedient.
At the same time, few people think that it is only necessary to choose the right haircut and the problem of a sloppy head will disappear immediately. So, for example, a straight cascade, which gives more volume, as well as any hairstyle for short hair, will look good on straight lines, since straight strands fit well and do not require additional styling. Curly curls should not be cut too short - the shorter they are, the more curly they are, and it seems that the head becomes like a dandelion. For a curly look, a large length is not suitable, since it is difficult to care for, the strands may look sloppy by the end of the working day. Therefore, it is best to limit yourself to the average length of curly hair. With this length, almost any haircut will look interesting, the rest will depend only on the contour of the face, which also plays an important role in choosing a hairstyle.
Hair Types and Care
Also, hair significantly differs in types, which is fully formed in adolescence and remains so for life. There are several classifications of types, the most popular of them - by thickness and fat content. The first criterion distinguishes between thick, thin and normal. For thin hair, hairstyles are needed to create volume, and for thick hair, on the contrary, straight haircuts.
By fat content, fatty, dry, normal and mixed types are distinguished. In order for each of them to always look well-groomed, you need not only to choose the right type of haircut, but also to carry out competent care. So, for example, oily hair needs more frequent washing and caring lotions for the scalp, which will improve fat balance, and then they will become less oily. The dry type, on the contrary, cannot be washed often, since then elements that give the curls elasticity are washed out of it, and brittleness appears. At the same time, for shine and silkiness, it is advised to use masks that increase fat content, so that they become more healthy. If the care is correct, it will not matter which haircut is made - the head will always look well-groomed and neat, and brittle or oily hair can, on the contrary, ruin the best and most fashionable hairstyle in the world.
Folk hair care products
All types of hair need daily care for them. Unfortunately, the funds that the stores offer do not have the properties that are stated on the package and have no effect, and professional funds do not always and not everyone has money. That is why folk versions of caring masks and rinsing agents, which many girls use with pleasure, are still popular. They help restore hair, give it shine and a healthy look.
So, it is useful to use chamomile infusion instead of rinse aid, which gives softness, or you can make a mask of cognac, adding it to your usual balm after washing. Cognac has a strengthening effect, dries the scalp, and hair becomes less oily. An egg white mask is also recommended, which gives a healthy shine. There are a huge number of such recipes, the main thing is that they include truly natural remedies that work, and we can see the result of this work in the mirror, admiring the shiny and beautiful curls that shine with strength and health.
Haircut or styling: what to choose
What types of hair are we have already figured out. Now let's talk about which is better: a haircut or styling? Not knowing which image to stop at, and fearing cardinal changes in appearance, many prefer haircut styling. On the one hand, styling allows you to experiment with images, choosing the best for yourself, but on the other hand, passion for their various types can ruin your hair, and no haircut will help them anymore. We will have to intensively treat them, achieving a healthy return. Frequent use of a curling iron or ironing burns the upper strands and makes them brittle, varnishes and mousses turn the hair into a hard washcloth, devoid of moisture, and it looks after the frequent use of these products groomed and ugly. Therefore, it is better to go for a one-time change in the image, make yourself a haircut, which may not be suitable, than spoil your hair with daily styling. After all, it is much easier and faster to grow a trimmed hair than to grow a damaged one completely, since often hair that has lost its appearance and health due to constant styling will not be restored.
Let's talk about what types of hair cuts are and what is the best choice.
Haircuts for straight and curly hair: how not to ruin everything
The biggest problem when choosing a haircut is the choice of shape, style and optimal length, which depends on the type of hair, as well as the shape of the face. If a girl has a round face and curly curls, then she should never be cut short, such a hairstyle will make her face even more round and will not add attractiveness. In the case when the face is elongated and the hair is straight, leaving a large length may not be practical - it will visually stretch the face even more. On the contrary, their owner should think about a short haircut, with giving additional volume. So the image will turn out more feminine and tender.

Haircuts for long hair
In the case when you do not want to part with a length that has been growing for many years, but you want to change your hairstyle, you can always experiment with the shape of the tips. There are several types of haircuts - straight or in a straight line, in a semicircle, an acute or obtuse angle, as well as a creative form - it all depends on the master’s own courage and imagination.
Also, owners of long hair, especially straight and thin, it is recommended to try the cascade. Such a haircut gives volume to the hairstyle, as well as lightness and airiness to the created image.
Also, craftsmen are very fond of using techniques such as grading and graduation. In both cases, the hairdresser “discharges” the hair, making the ends torn. At the same time, if thinning is used only at the longest ends in the hairstyle, then graduation is done throughout the head, most often applying it when cutting in a cascade.

Medium-length haircuts
The most popular length is now medium hair. This is primarily convenient, with such a length does not require complicated care, as for long ones, and long daily laying, as for short ones. With such a length, it is easy to experiment, and even if the experiment fails, the cut off will grow quickly enough.
The most popular haircuts for medium hair can be called a cascade that has already become a classic, an elongated caret - this look is more suitable for a straight look, but it will look very elegant on wavy ones, as well as an asymmetric bean. The latest type of hairstyle has recently become increasingly popular. With such a haircut, on one side the head is cut short, rounded to the face and giving volume, and on the other, they let go of the length, making the tips a sharp angle. This hairstyle looks original and even a little mischievous, giving the created image a unique look.
Types of haircuts for short hair
It is believed that it is easiest to handle and experiment with a short haircut, and this is partly true, there are many types of haircuts for short hair, from classic to original. This is, first of all, a square that never goes out of fashion, of which there are a huge number of options: classic, shortened, bob-square (we will talk about it a little later), without a bang and with it, and so on. As a shortened haircut is distinguished as a separate species, there are so many options that it is impossible to name everything. Often they don’t even have a name, the master invents it along the way, depending on the features of the client’s appearance. Neat haircuts for short hair look very cute and original. The rear and front views attract the attention of men, and not only them.
There are also extreme types of haircuts: for a boy, for a typewriter, a partial haircut for a typewriter, when part of the head is shaved bald or almost bald, and special patterns are drawn using a special machine, and the other part of the head is cut under the caret or bean. But for such experiments, it takes enough courage, as the hair will grow back for a rather long time.

Type of haircut - bob: fashion trend
The most popular hairstyle for short hair for more than a decade is the bob haircut. She came into fashion at the beginning of the 20th century, first in France, thanks in part to Coco Chanel, and then in America. A distinctive feature of this type of hairstyle is its shape, which is similar in all haircuts of the “bob” type and gives the head a rounded shape. Perhaps that is why such a haircut was called "bob", it is too similar to this fruit. This form is attached to the hair thanks to a special technique of adding volume, the stylist as if lifts the strands from the roots, rounding them to the ends.
There are different types of bob haircuts for short hair. The nape is tucked almost under the boy, is often shaved, and the ends on the sides are rounded to the face and remain longer. A bob-car is the second most popular species, its feature is cutting hair at an angle, when the locks are sharply rounded to the face, as if at an angle, rising from the roots. This gives the image a stylish and elegant look.
Bangs - a special feature in the hairstyle
It is worth paying special attention to such a haircut element as a bang. Some grow it and remove it altogether, because it is often necessary to cut it, so as not to get in the way and get into your eyes. However, bangs can add charm and even mystery to the look. For her, there are several of the most popular types of haircuts: straight, arc, at an angle to one side. The master can make it clear that it looks beautiful on long hair or with a bob, or smoothly, harmoniously introducing it as an element into the main haircut - this technique is usually characteristic of a cascade.
Whatever you say, the choice of haircuts is so great and diverse that any girl can easily find in this variety an image that is ideal for her. The main thing is to find a master who understands his job, who can direct the hairstyle in the right direction and make the dream of a perfect hairstyle come true.
