A cardinal change of image from a long-haired blonde to a bright and stylish brunette so impressed many young ladies that they, too, were quick to learn how to cut their hair in this way at home.
And we decided to prepare this article to make life easier for our readers. Indeed, in the material presented below, we will describe in detail what the named haircut is and whether it is possible, without being a master, to make it your loved ones or acquaintances.
Will I fit a square with elongated front strands
Professional stylists are not in vain studying at specialized universities, take a lot of additional courses and polish their skills throughout their lives. Thanks to this, they can easily determine whether the selected hairstyle will decorate a particular person or not. Ordinary people sometimes need to trim their hair to understand: a square with a short crown is completely unsuitable.
However, finding the answer to such an exciting question will become much easier if you know one secret. And share it with the reader.
So, you can determine in advance with a one hundred percent guarantee whether it is worth cutting your hair short or if you need to consider a hairstyle with long curls. To do this, prepare:
- a simple pencil or any other smooth object;
- solid ruler, not a centimeter.
When all the necessary tools are ready, you must do the following:
- Comb your hair back and pull it with an elastic band.
- Go to the mirror.
- Facing the reflective surface, place the pencil horizontally on the chin.
- Then, without removing the previous instrument, but using it as a limiter, measure the distance from it to the tip of the earlobe.
- Now let's move on to the most interesting part - we determine whether a bob haircut with a short crown and long front strands is suitable. We will be guided by the received value. If the length of the lower part of the face is more than 5.7 cm, it is more reasonable to refuse the chosen option. If less, then the reader can study the technology of haircuts.
Preparatory stage
Mowing a square is not so difficult. Although it’s worth immediately explaining that you won’t be able to do it yourself. Rather, an approximate version of the hairstyle will work. But the necessary transition at the crown cannot be created. Therefore, you should investigate the instructions proposed in the article with a girlfriend, mom, or other person worthy of trust.
So, in order to cut a square with a short crown at home, the photo of which we proposed above, you need to prepare the right tools. Let's go through the list of what is needed:
- comfortable scissors, best with long ends;
- comb comb;
- brush comb;
- atomizer;
- five rubber bands or clips, we determine the size, guided by the length and volume of hair.
In addition to all of the above, it is important to take care of the cape. A plain sheet can be an option from improvised means. It is also worth paying due attention to the choice of the place where the short-crowned square will be cut. It should be well lit, comfortable for the master and comfortable for the model.
When everything is ready, you should carefully comb the hair and moisten it with water. After you can proceed to the next step of the instructions.
Divide the curls into zones
The next important stage will require a creative nature. After all, the hair will need to be divided into separate parts. It is not difficult to do this, you just need to follow the steps described later in the instructions.
Correct zoning of hair occurs in several stages:
- The first thing to do is to isolate part of the hair from the forehead to the crown. To do this, draw two straight lines from the temporal cavities to the top of the head. We connect them with a semicircular part. The selected part of the hair is fixed with an elastic band or a clip.
- Now we proceed to the second part of the zoning of hair for cutting a square with a short crown. From the parting at the top of the head, lower the other two towards the ears. It is important to note that they must pass behind the auditory organs. Both zones are also fixed.
- The remaining occipital part of the hair simply needs to be divided into two parts with a vertical parting from the crown to the base of the skull.
What to consider when cutting
Well, here is the simplest part of the instructions. Now you should go directly to the haircut. The most important recommendations that experts share with us are that:
- The strand should be highlighted in one motion, and not combed several times.
- The angle of the strand, that is, its distance from the head, must be constantly monitored.
- Keep your hand with a strand strictly parallel to the parting.
And finally, one more piece of advice: a graduated haircut with a short crown, the photo of which is in this article, is extremely important to carry out with a confident hand. It is natural that manipulation with scissors will be new to the artist and he will begin to get nervous at some point. If this happens, take a few breaths and continue.
Where to begin
If the reader has read up to this point, it means that he is mentally prepared to realize what he wants. Now you should understand the first steps. If they are correctly disassembled, it will not be difficult to implement them. Well, the further haircut of the bob-car with a short crown will pass completely without a hitch.
It’s worth immediately explaining that cutting the occipital part, and it is with it, that the construction of the entire form should begin, is necessary in a special way: separately, the left and right half. Moreover, it is important to pay attention to the position of the scissors. When cutting the right half, they should look to the left. To do this, we begin to cut from the shoulder. On the left half of the hair, the scissors are mirrored. That is, we move from the left shoulder to the right side.
Which half to start with can be decided on your own. The technology of the occipital area will be almost identical. The only difference is that the left side mirrors the right and vice versa.
How to cut the back of your head
We take a few breaths and begin to cut a graduated square with a short crown:
- We dissolve the selected part of the hair on the back of the head and at the base of the skull we separate the strand. Moreover, parting should be carried out under the slope that I would like to have on the whole haircut. Accordingly, at the vertical parting, the curls will be shorter, closer to the ears - longer.
- We hold the scissors strictly parallel to the parting, and the strand is at the parting so that the curls are stretched into an even string.
- And we make the first movement.
- As a result, we get a strand, which is called the control. She sets the shape for the whole haircut.
- Now we again dissolve the hair in the selected area and separate the next strand with a width of about a centimeter.
- We also raise it to the parting level, and lower the lower one to it.
- We make a cut.
- We advance so to the top of the head.
- And then we move on to the second half of the occipital part of the hair. Recall that she cuts in the same way, only in a mirror.
How to cut the area around the face
The previous part of the instructions will help to make the most difficult step of cutting a square with a short crown. Then things will go much easier.
Now we go to the curls near the face. Therefore, it is important to determine their desired length. The ones that look best are four to six centimeters longer than the back strands at the base of the skull. Then you can start cutting:
- Select a strand from the temple to the ear.
- We reduce it to the uppermost strand on the back of the head.
- We outline the cut-off line and cut off the excess. And we again got a control strand.
- We separate the next part of the curls, raise it to the parting level, reduce it to the previous one and cut it off.
- So continue to the last lock.
- Then we pass to the opposite side.
How to cut from forehead to crown
Now you have a haircut, almost like in the photo - a bob-car with a short crown. It is almost complete. There is only one zone left. Cutting it is quite simple, but first you need to determine if the bangs are supposed. If so, then you need to separate the triangle with your forehead and bandage it with an elastic band. The rest of the hair should be cut in this way:
- Dissolve the hair and select the first strand from the temple. You can start on the left side or on the right.
- With a parallel parting, we hook the strand below - we need already trimmed curls.
- Lower them both to the cheekbones and cut off the unnecessary.
- So do with all the hair to the middle parting from the forehead to the crown.
- After we go to the opposite side and cut the hair in a similar way. The main thing is not to forget to mirror the position of the scissors.
How to cut a bang
If our reader decided to cut a square with a short crown and a bang, then he needs to carefully consider this part of the haircut. Only then will the image look beautiful, stylish and fashionable. In addition, to give the hair a salon-like appearance, it is important to carefully work out the entire shape of the haircut.
Of course, you can be guided by your own preferences, but experts for the studied haircut advise you to choose a sideways bang. Making it at home is very simple. You only need to comb the curls and bring it to the left or right side of the hair. Depending on which side of the bangs will be worn. The outer part of the bangs should be equal in length to the strands in the face. And the inner one is no higher than the bridge of the nose. When all the necessary measurements are made, it is worth making a cut.
