How to do it yourself?
It is possible to make a haircut in a cascade at home, but this requires basic haircut skills.
First, it is important to wash your hair well, as they must be moist and even during the process, so that it is convenient to cut. Then the center of the head stands out, an even parting is done on it. The locks are fixed with hairpins, and then the procedure itself begins. First of all, the main strand is shortened, in order to subsequently navigate along it and adjust the length. On both sides, perfectly even strands are obtained, and not one is knocked out of the general view. At the end, it is necessary to make a thinning of the tips so that they look aesthetically pleasing.
Long hair
The principle of working on a medium, long and short step haircut does not generally change. Simply, each individual length has its advantages over others. What kind? Long hair looks impressive with a cascade, as it becomes lush and voluminous.
There are minor differences in the do-it-yourself haircut that you need to know:
- To create a new unique image, it is not superfluous to use the graduation of the strands when cutting. This technique helps to get rid of dried and split ends, as well as give even more volume to the hair. A ladder on long hair is important to constantly adjust so that it does not lose its appearance.
- Trendy and unusual bangs in addition to a step haircut will create a chic and stylish look. In terms of choosing a bang, you need to be guided by the shape of your face in order to choose the suitable option.
- It is important to always monitor the condition of the hair, since long strands are often severely broken, so it is always necessary to use moisturizers for the hair.
Short hair
A short step haircut is what many girls and women prefer. This option will be optimal not only for those to whom it came to taste, but also for those whose hair is exhausted and weakened. Bad weather, sun, frost can greatly change the structure of hair. If this is complemented by the use of various varnishes and foams, then the process is accelerated. When the curls weakened, began to break, then a short haircut in a cascade will be a lifesaver for restoring the beauty of hair.
It is also necessary to choose this haircut, based on the features of the face, its shape. For example, an ultra-short or chin-extending haircut will be an inappropriate option for girls with a pear-shaped face, as it will highlight a massive jaw.
Some subtleties
A short haircut with a ladder can be quite complicated in design not only for ordinary people, but also for masters. Need to know:
- cutting of strands begins in the middle of the nape;
- along the control line it is necessary to rise right up to the little head where the hair should have a length of several centimeters;
- then the strands from the temple to the parietal zone are separated and cut off to coincide with it in length;
- all tips should be well profiled;
- the hair on the crown is longer than on the parietal part;
- then everything repeats on the next strand;
- if the presence of a bang is provided, then a torn or oblique option is suitable.
It is necessary to do everything in stages, slowly, in order to get a good result in the end. In the photo, a step haircut looks charming, but in life it causes dumb delight. Particularly elegant options are obtained on short hair.

Make-up fits the haircut unobtrusive, but seductive. A good option is to use nude lipsticks, as well as pastel shades of shadows. Blush will not be superfluous in the image, which will highlight cheekbones and emphasize youth and innocence.
Also a fatal, extravagant make-up option would be appropriate. It is good enough to highlight the lips with bright and saturated lipstick, and make out the eyes with a first-class smoky ice.
