When a woman wants to change something in her everyday image - she goes to the hairdresser. A correctly selected hairstyle can favorably emphasize facial features, complement the preferred style in clothes, create a full-fledged image or completely destroy it.
The work of a hairdresser is also an art. A professional must not only perfectly know the theory of hairstyle modeling and master the necessary technical part, but also have an aesthetic taste, sense of style, follow the modern canons of fashion.
Far from the last role, in the daily work of any hairdresser, is the modeling and decoration of hairstyles.
Not every representative of the fair sex has a model appearance, ideal features and the correct face shape. Having enlisted the help of an experienced master, and not a student who barely knew the basics of modeling hairstyles, all these shortcomings can easily be hidden. The main thing is to find a professional.
A bit of theory: terms and tasks
Hair styling is a painstaking process of hair styling. It is made on the basis of existing haircut models and their various modifications. Much less often, modeling is a recreation of the image in a photo or drawing.
Hair styling allows you to solve several problems of hairdressing. Consider the main ones:
- the development of new hairstyles, haircuts and hairstyles ;
- artistic modeling of hairstyles and its subsequent design contribute to the formation of the aesthetic component of a holistic image;
- The development of fashion trends is stimulated.
No less important point in the daily work of the master hairdresser is the decoration. Thanks to this final stage, the visitor gets the opportunity to comprehensively evaluate the work done by a specialist.
The technical part always remains with the master, and therefore the client may not always understand the essence of certain operations carried out with hair. The main thing is the result that ends any process of modeling hairstyles. It is important that he fully suits the client.
Each guest at the hairdresser is individual, and if the master is not able to bring into his work the very, unique zest and the finishing touch, the client will be disappointed. Therefore, a true specialist always works individually and pays special attention to decoration.
Kinds
To date, there are 4 main types of modeling:
- Bulk Typical and generalized wishes of the client give the fashion designer an excellent basis for creating a completely new hairstyle, styling, haircut. Artistic variety is introduced by a certain hair color, decoration, styling.
- By individual modeling, it’s worth understanding the selection of an existing styling, haircut or hairstyle for the image of a specific person. The master retains only the general style characteristic of the hairstyle.
- A completely different character is the modeling of spectacular hairstyles. In this case, the master works on fantastic, historical or theatrical images. Clothing should not come to the forefront of the image. At its center should be artistic modeling and hairstyle design, as well as rich and catchy makeup.
The nuances of an individual approach
The master always makes an individual adaptation of an existing haircut, styling or painting for a specific person. As a result, the model is transformed and sees in the reflection of the mirror a completely new hairstyle, original in form and character.
The decisive role that determines the correct selection of hairstyles is played by many factors, including:
- own desire of the model;
- her facial features, color type, other external data;
- body type;
- current fashion trends;
- hair structure and type;
- the purpose of the hairstyle (everyday, evening, wedding, etc.).
Hairstyle and face shape
5 types of faces are classified, but the master selects the final decision when modeling hairstyles depending on the color type, width of the nose, eye section and other features of the face and body of the model.
Face Types:
- Oval face. Any haircut or hairstyle is suitable for owners of the ideal form, but the master does not always have to follow the lead of clients. When choosing hairstyles, facial features play an important role.
- A triangular face (an elongated chin and a high forehead, or vice versa) has two subtypes: “Heart” is characterized by a pronounced forehead and a too narrow chin. When modeling hairstyles, you should avoid the volume at the temples, which will make the transition sharper. Will look good: square, bob, ladder, etc. The task is to visually balance the face and make it as close as possible to the oval. The opposite of the “heart” - the triangular shape of the “pear” - is characterized by a narrow forehead and a wide chin. The balance in the temples and in the upper part of the head will help to balance facial features.
- The square shape of the face requires high professionalism of the master, since the technology for performing hairstyles should be simply impeccable. A too wide lower jaw, a heavy chin and a proportionate forehead are a rough and angular square. Long and thick bangs of straight hair, emphasizing the protruding lines of the chin, only exacerbate the situation. Asymmetric hairstyles will help to soften the lines of such a face.
- Round face. Full cheeks and a low forehead of a round face will help to hide the wavy bangs, an asymmetrical haircut and hairstyles with volume from the temples. Categorically prohibited: a straight parting and hairstyles that repeat the line of the face.
- Rectangular face. The rectangular face is characterized by a high and wide forehead, a protruding lower jaw. These lines need to be softened. Asymmetric haircuts and other hairstyles that hide the height and width of the forehead are recommended.
Hairstyle and facial modeling
Too worn out, and even haggard look can have a rather beautiful elongated face, if vertical lines prevail in the image. For example: long straight hair without volume and asymmetry, open forehead, high hairstyles and combed hair on the sides.
Quickly fix the situation will help the most ordinary forceps for modeling hairstyles. They will not only help smooth out naughty hair, but also create beautiful flowing waves. With such a face harmoniously look light weightless curls, voluminous haircut or hairstyle, as well as straight bangs. Recommended length is below eyebrow level.
Owners of a long nose are advised to refrain from hairstyles raised on the back of the head and smoothly combed hair. The back of the head is best balanced by light volume.
If you are the owner of a small neat nose, then the voluminous and long bangs will look just awful, and therefore it is better to refuse it. Any haircut and hairstyle that emphasizes the profile will help balance the features.
Contrary to prejudice, it is strictly forbidden to hide a short neck behind the hair. The haircut should be short, and horizontal lines should prevail in the hairstyle itself.
Small and inexpressive features will be more vivid if the haircut covers the earlobes with hair.
Classification of hairstyles by age groups
Not everyone knows about the existence of a classification of hairstyles, and even fewer people can guess that the selection of hairstyles largely depends on the age category. Let's consider this question in more detail:
- Youth and children's haircuts and hairstyles should be not only universal, but also practical in everyday life.
Young people under 30 are still allowed to wear too short haircuts, screaming hairstyles, and bright acid-colored hair.
- After 30 years, the hair color should match the color type of the young woman, her haircut should be individual, and also have the ability to easily transform depending on the situation.
- For older people, there are also some unwritten rules. Women should refrain from dyeing their hair in an unnatural color, short or medium haircuts. The correct styling will help visually hide wrinkles, which will cover the edge line of hair growth. For men, hairdressers try not to cut the back of their head too short.
Analysis of hairstyles according to the principle of modeling
Any haircut, hairstyle or styling can be analyzed according to the principle of modeling. Such an analysis is done according to the following plan:
- Determine the purpose: domestic (everyday), evening or competitive.
- Identify the style to which this haircut belongs (sports, romantic, etc.).
- The principle of equilibrium: asymmetry or symmetry.
- The presence of accents.
- Variety of rhythm: contrast, nuance, identity.
- Static and dynamic.
- Composition Center.
Basics of building a composition
All compositions can be classified as living (asymmetry) and static (symmetry).
Initially, you must select the characteristic elements of the composition. This item includes: including contrasts and creating the right accent.
During the first stage, it is very important to observe the law of restriction in shape, material, color and elements.
At the second stage, the master groups the elements, observing the free space between the created groupings. This measure allows you to not lose the aesthetic appearance of the composition as a whole, and its individual parts. It is also necessary to prioritize the importance of the elements, this will emphasize the subordination between groups.
The third stage allows the master to clearly think about the correct relationship between all elements of the composition. Check optical balance and don't be afraid of experiments! Only true masterpieces are born in them.
The advantage of computer software
Technology makes our life so much easier! Various computer services and applications on Android make life easier not only for inexperienced professionals who need experience in modeling, but also experienced craftsmen.
Unpleasant situations happen when the model does not rely on the opinion of the master, but on his own desire. In just a few minutes, a specialist can demonstrate the model's future appearance in two or three possible options. And in this case, the question concerns not only haircuts or hairstyles for the graduation party, but also the debate about the choice of hair color.
