The fox tail haircut is somewhat similar to a cascade, but it looks more original. This hairstyle looks perfect on long hair and is no less impressive on medium length hair. Such a haircut is a great option for those who want to leave the hair length, but at the same time want to update the image.
Haircut features
It is based on graduation, which is performed both in the vertical and in the horizontal direction. The strands framing the face have the smallest length. Gradually, the hair lengthens, forming a silhouette in the back in the form of V. Therefore, they called the haircut - the fox tail.
A qualified master will make a graduation in accordance with individual characteristics, and the V-shaped contour can be made in both sharp and softer versions. But the main task of the master is the symmetry of the fox tail. Otherwise, all the charm of this haircut will be lost. Therefore, it is important that the specialist understands the features of the technique for its implementation.
A straight triangular cut will look good on straight hair. Smooth edging will look good on straight and curly hair. And if your strands are too stiff and thick hair, it is better to do the milling of the tips or leave them uneven - “feathers”. But if you have split ends, you can make a haircut with hot scissors or a multi-level graduation.

Features haircuts for long hair
It is best to do it using the "ladder" technique and performing a triangular edging of the "tail". Thanks to this, you will add hairstyle volume. But if your hair is quite thick, you can do graduation and milling tips.
The fox tail on long hair looks very impressive. Only the longer your curls, the sharper the tip should be. It is best to do this haircut on straight hair, but it will also look pretty curly on curly hair. Only then it is necessary to graduate strands.
Features of haircuts for medium hair
The fox tail can also be made on hair, the length of which is slightly lower than the shoulders. The master cascades the entire length or only graduates the tips. And behind makes a edging in the form of a pointed tail.
If you are the owner of very thick and heavy hair, a haircut made in cascading technique will add lightness to them. That is, all the strands are trimmed along the length of the control taken at the crown. At the same time they are pulled up as much as possible. The strands on the crown framing the face and top layer are cut short. Curls are made longer at shoulder level and lower - a triangular edging. A fox tail made using this technique looks best on medium length hair.
The only difference from haircuts for long hair is that you will not be able to do hairstyles with the collected hair. Because the locks on the face are too short and crumble. It is best to leave the hair loose - then others will be able to see all the beauty of the haircut.
Styling methods

You can emphasize the haircut even more with the help of beautiful coloring. For example, an ombre will emphasize an unusual triangular edging. No less interesting is the coloring in the style of a hut, but voluminous. And ladies who are not afraid to experiment with color can opt for creative staining.
