There are many cascade options. The rear view of the haircut allows you to get the most complete picture of the differences between them. In short, the cascade is a haircut in which the hair is sheared according to the principle “upper strands are shorter than lower ones”. This hairdressing technique is called graduation. This can be done by separating the zones with horizontal partings. So do some part of the haircut or cascade on the whole head. It turns out the hair, beautifully laying on top of each other.
It becomes easier for the lower layers; the upper hair does not exert pressure on them. And so the cascade area can be laid in such a way as to create a significant additional volume. Usually apply this technique on the back of the head, adjusting the shape of the head.
Often when explaining with hairdressers there is a misunderstanding: when calling the desired model, they do not specify the graduation zone. In this article, we will get to know the different options for the cascade.
Two haircuts and their effect on the rear view
The cascade is cut, trimming the hair under the control strand highlighted on the crown. One way is to lift it up and pull the entire volume of hair towards it. It is good for shaping hair just below the shoulders. Another involves horizontal guying. It is performed with insufficient hair length and short haircuts.
How the volume is distributed in this case is well illustrated by the photos of the haircuts of the cascade. The rear view of the left haircut shows a not so strong difference in strands in length. They are airy, flow freely and, on the whole, create an image of grunge - a hairstyle slightly tattered by the breeze. On the right are more strict contour lines, the volume in the neck is much less. This happened because the control strand in the first case was chosen longer, 18 centimeters versus 12 in the right photo. The guy on the left is horizontal, on the right is vertical.
Short cascade: haircuts short behind
An interesting option is obtained by combining two haircuts - a pixie and a graduated upper zone according to the cascade principle. For its implementation, zones are divided into short and long. The parietal part and the upper half of the occipital area are sheared along the control strand on the crown, which is ten centimeters. This is how bangs and volume are formed at the temples. The lower occipital area is cut short. The edging is long, but is subject to thinning.
You can perform a cascade on the temporal part of the haircut, then the contour will acquire a spherical shape. This is sometimes required for face correction. If there is no desire to cut shortly behind, you can limit yourself to leaving strands of five centimeters that are cut with a horizontal guy. The edging is made even.
In addition to vertical and horizontal braces when performing a cascade, others can also be used. Changing degrees, achieve different effects. Such methods are used in the highest categories of hairdressing. For asymmetry, for example.
Types of haircuts cascade for short hair
For short hair, there are many ways to perform the so-called layered haircut, which includes the cascade. If the hair is so short that it does not pull up to the control strand, the master will change the draw angle. If necessary, the border of two zones with different draw angles of the control strand is milled to smooth the contour. How this is done is shown in the video.
The following types of cascade exist:
- Graduated cascade - strands are cut along the entire length, the difference between them is not too noticeable. The nape is moderately shortened. The lower part of the haircut is left without volume.
- Torn cascade - strands have different lengths and thicknesses. Requires mandatory daily styling.
- Double cascade - cut not only by pulling the strands to the control vertically, but also horizontally. So they cut the whole head. Looks very good on representatives of all ages.
Strands can be curled and stacked in simple accessible ways: a gel, mousse and hairdryer will give a beautiful well-groomed appearance to your hair. Curls create a three-dimensional contour, which is why women with thin hair fell in love with it.
Graduated and dual cascade
A haircut, the rear view of which is much more interesting than the classic cascade, is a graduated cascade. Smooth transitions from one to another strand are replaced by a sharp increase in the difference in their length. Hair on top - the shortest layers surrounding the crown of the head have the smallest difference in length. As the zone lowers, the gap between the hair on the top of the head and in the back of the head increases. It looks very impressive on curly hair. There is no sharp difference in length between adjacent levels. It looks good on short hair and not thick enough hair.
In the photo there is a double cascade. You can add an interesting texture to this haircut by milling each lock. Staining with three colors similar in tone to the natural row will give an impression of the density of the strands, emphasize the play of light and shadow, as can be seen in the right photo.
Cascade
A bob haircut is one of the most popular in the world. She looks great, she is loved by girls and ladies aged. Any hair texture - straight or curly - can find its own caret option. But what about those who have weak and thin hair? In this case, a graduation technique will help, which can add additional volume.
The length for cutting the cascade is chosen to the chin or slightly higher. The upper and lower parts are separated by a transverse parting from ear to ear, and the entire lower part is sheared according to the pattern of a classic square or square with extension. The graduation area occupies the upper occipital area and slightly affects the upper temporal.
This option is also suitable for straight heavy hair to reduce volume.
Asymmetric cascade
The rear view of the haircut may not differ from the classic cascade in the case when the difference in length is formed in the face. Then the long part on the one hand will be performed in a graduated way, and on the other hand, in any other way.
In the photo, the entire long part of the cascade is located in the temporal part, leaving the opposite side with the classic haircut option for short hair.
How the bangs change the image
In vain, some believe that the cascade is performed only with bangs. Indeed, if you take the classic implementation of this technique, you get a bang, reaching the eyebrows or upper eyelid. But if you do not select the parietal zone, or even not touch the temporal, then the entire cascade will be located behind.
This will make it possible to simulate the back of the head, create beautiful flowing strands at the back, and perform any frame on the face. For example, a slanting bang. Shearing a cascade with a long bang is the only way to do it.
There is a situation in which it is better to abandon this element of haircuts. This may be the shape of the face, which does not combine the division of its additional lines, which creates a bang. The reason for rejecting it may also be the desire to grow in length. There is a haircut cascade and without bangs. In this case, the graduation area falls below the level of the chin. It creates the impression of a double square, in which the upper part is a classic square with no bangs to the shoulders, and below - curls, beautifully laid on each other.
Conclusion
You may be surprised when you ask your master if he uses the technique of creating a cascade on his hair. Almost all modern haircuts have one or another of its elements. Smooth, flowing hair is out of fashion now. The emphasis is on some carelessness in the hairstyle.
The task of a professional is to create an easy-to-care haircut that meets all the latest fashion trends. And this includes the use of cascade technology.
