What distinguishes elongated caret from other options for this haircut?
Elongated caret looks quite impressive due to the fact that the ends of the hair are cut not at the same level - the back is shorter and the front is longer. In this case, the transition is always smooth. But even here there can be various options: stylists make symmetry and asymmetry, leave the edges even and profiled.
But how to choose a haircut for yourself with such a variety of forms? In this case, you should pay attention to the shape of the face - an elongated square with a bang with a competent approach will make your image expressive and emphasize all the advantages of your appearance.
Oval face haircut
This face shape can be called universal, since almost all hairstyles are suitable for it. The same applies to an elongated square with a bang.
However, remember that if the oval is too elongated, then in this case this version of the hairstyle is far from the most successful. And even a bang, which will reach the very eyebrows, will not be able to save the situation. Here , the classic will be the best choice , in which the hair reaches the chin, and the bangs will be quite thick and torn.
Triangle face haircut
Owners of a face of this form are best suited for a caret, in which hair will be cut with a smooth transition from the occipital region to the chin area with the maximum diagonal raised.
And in order for facial features to become more balanced, choose a slanting or ragged bangs. Straight lines on the forehead are contraindicated here, as they will hide all the benefits. If you want to cover your broad forehead and cheekbones, then in this case you should stay on an elongated square with a round bang.
Square shape haircut
The best option for this type of face becomes a square with smooth lines. So you can hide the heavy cheekbones. As for the bangs, the oblique shape will become the most harmonious. Opening his forehead and covering his cheekbones, such a hairstyle will somewhat stretch his face and make the features softer.
Squared face haircut
It is advisable for girls with this type of face to refrain from hairstyles with sharp transitions. Let it have a smooth even rise, but the fringe may well be asymmetric - so it will become a good accent.
Round haircut
There are quite strict recommendations, but at the same time very simple - the front strands should be long. Make a high diagonal, and it visually stretches your face, while covering your chubby cheeks. Parting is better done on the side. But if some facial features independently pull it somewhat, then it is quite possible to choose a parting in the center. With a round face shape, it is desirable to give preference to a thick oblique bang.
Remember about age
Long hair cut with bangs allows you to experiment. Images can be varied, and very creative solutions are possible. For example, young girls can safely choose a hairstyle with a fairly sharp diagonal, when the back of the head is very short, and the front strands go down to the shoulders. And if you add unusual coloring to such a hairstyle, the overall picture will be very impressive.
As for older women, it is better to refrain from intricate shapes and non-standard lines. For them, classic options with an even, neat line from the back of the head to the chin are preferable. In addition, it is advisable to choose options that do not require frequent corrections.
Who should use straight bangs?
This kind of bangs is most suitable for elongated face shape. It gently smooths out all the angularities, and therefore it is considered a real find for the fair sex with somewhat rude features.
Straight bangs are considered the best solution if you have a high forehead, large nose or face shape that is very elongated. Due to its shape, it will add symmetry, so that all features of the exterior will be hidden. And in the best way, an elongated square with a straight bang will look on thick lush straight hair.
Who to prefer oblique bangs?
Oblique bangs can be either short or long. In the first case, it will give the image a certain fervor, and in the second - visually reduce the wide face.
To make the image more feminine and sophisticated, it is desirable to combine a slanting bang with long strands that are also cut obliquely. These lines will help to noticeably soften too large facial features by adjusting the angular oval.
With an extended square with a slanting bangs, a side parting is more preferable. The cutting angle of the bangs itself can be arbitrary, but it’s better to experiment, starting with the maximum length. For example, if you have a wide forehead, then it is better to cover it, leaving enough hair, and a short mischievous bang will help to correct the irregular shape of the nose.
Who should use asymmetry?
Asymmetric bangs can take the form of a zigzag, an irregular triangle, or cover only half of the forehead. Few people agree to such experiments, since they are for the most daring, and not everyone can use such haircut options. But if you take into account the shape of the face and texture of the hair itself, then such a hairstyle will look the most advantageous.
What about round bangs?
Round bangs are better than others able to bring softness and tenderness to the image. Together with elongated strands flowing over the shoulders, she very successfully rounds off the sharp features. Therefore, this option is most preferable to girls with an elongated face shape.
Torn bangs
Such a bang on an elongated square looks very good, but only the tips should be trimmed asymmetrically. This option will be optimal with a square face. Here, the profiled strands can smooth out all the angularities.
In general, the torn bangs reflect the casual style. She demonstrates lightness, ease and a certain negligence. And if you choose this particular style of clothing, then such a hairstyle will perfectly complement it.
If you have a round face, then in this case, torn bangs should be made short and combed to one side. Thanks to this technique, the shape of the face is somewhat extended, and the cheekbones become narrower. With a triangular type of face, the tattered bangs are best distributed throughout the forehead. So a narrow chin will visually look more rounded and look not so sharp. Elongated square with torn bangs of medium length is recommended for owners of an elongated face. At the same time, combing it is better on the side to make the forehead smaller. If the shape of the face is in the shape of a square, then in this case you should leave the ragged bangs long enough to be below the cheekbones, and comb to the side.
Extra long square with long bangs
A long thick bang allows you to create an unforgettable image. He is incredibly feminine, harmonious and always attracts attention. Such a bang can be laid directly so that it merges with the side strands, or twisted. Sometimes it is braided in a braid, as in the photo. The elongated bob with bangs in this version takes on a very delicate shape.
Stylists advise women who have a long nose or a slightly sloping chin to choose this hairstyle. Long bangs in this case will make facial features more harmonious, adding volume to the forehead. At the same time, its edge can be both profiled and left even.
Does hair texture matter?
A long haircut with a bang looks great on lush thick hair, curly curls and perfectly smooth strands. As for thin hair, here it is able to add a little volume to them, only the bangs in this case are best done asymmetric. With curly locks, the best option would be a square with a high diagonal, in which the curls in the front are much longer than those on the back of the head.
Who should refuse such a hairstyle?
Stylists do not recommend an extended square with a bang in such cases:
- Too dense small curls - in order to do the styling, you will need quite a lot of special tools, but if you refuse it, then the haircut will not look spectacular.
- Short neck - long strands in the chin area only emphasize this feature of appearance.
- A very thin face in the form of an elongated oval - with this haircut, it will seem even thinner. But the situation can be corrected by perming. Light waves visually expand your face.
Laying an extended rack with bangs
In order for the hairstyle to be voluminous, it is recommended to dry hair from the bottom up: first, strands on the back of the head and gradually rise to the crown. The bangs are stacked last, using medium fixation mousse. The straight bangs are dried using a large round comb, tightly pressing the lock to the strands and pulling them down.
The classic option for laying an elongated rack is when the ends are wrapped inward. If you want to move away from the everyday image, then they can be dried out. Hair styling makes the hairstyle very elegant and at the same time strict. This device is used only on dry hair, pulling hair strand by strand.
The same iron, curling iron or curlers will make the image more romantic, laying strands in waves. And so that they last long enough, you must first apply foam or mousse to them. In addition, such a hairstyle is convenient to do with a diffuser, which will create even curls on both long and short hair.
Stylists often lay chaotically structured elongated caret. And to create an artistic mess at home, just dry your hair with a hairdryer, head down. The final touch will be wax or gel - the product must be rubbed in the palms of your hands and then applied to the hair. An elongated bob with bangs with this styling will be a great addition not only to everyday, but also to the evening look.
