History of occurrence
It is known that the house of Prada was inspired by female images that were popular in the 20-30s of the last century. It is known that then the fashion on the square went after the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, since a whole wave of imitation of the Egyptian style began.
Yes, it was the Egyptians who were the first to make such a hairstyle. In general, they shaved baldly, and wigs with an air gap were put on their heads. This helped to better tolerate the heat. In addition, wigs showed that a person belongs to high society, since then they were made from real hair, they were very expensive. Ordinary people could not afford such a luxury.
Classic square
The most popular type of caret hairstyle is a haircut when the hair is trimmed in one line. The length of the strands does not reach the chin. This is the classic square. Hairstyle does not provide additional sections, layers, grading. A bang with a classic square is straight, even, although it is not required. Example: Rihanna.
The classic square is suitable for girls with an oval, diamond-shaped, heart-shaped face. The bangs are also the last, it visually narrows the forehead. Owners of a round face should not wear this hairstyle, it will only emphasize the cheeks, make your head bigger. For girls with a massive bottom of the face (square, rectangle shape), the hair will only emphasize the large jaw, enclose the face in a "frame".
Elongated caret
A more versatile hairstyle - elongated caret. As in the previous version, the hair is cut in one line, but reaches the shoulders. Looks good with natural styling or a little disheveled. In general, there are many hairstyles for medium hair. This type of rack was long worn by Selena Gomez.
As already written earlier, elongated caret is a universal hairstyle. This style is suitable for any type of face. The thick bangs below the eyebrows fit well under the square. It can be both flat and beveled. You can also experiment with staining. Make ombre, sombre, balayazh. In addition, this type of square is also very convenient, as it allows you to collect hair in a ponytail.
Bob
Photos of bob-style hairstyles became especially popular in 2018. This type of haircut gives the hair a special volume. Typically, the bean is performed on short hair, the length of which approximately reaches the chin. Many middle-aged stars prefer this haircut, as it makes the whole image more youthful.
The locks on the face are usually slightly longer than on the back of the head, but the difference is not very large. If the hair is very thick by nature, then it is enough to make one cut or a very small graduation. In another case, a large number of strand levels are made. Haircuts can be done with or without bangs. There are also many variations of the bean. The hairstyle can be either asymmetric or elongated in the face. The strands may be neat and may also appear torn. Haircut looks good and when it grows back. You do not have to contact the master when short hair begins to grow. They will very naturally fit into a slightly different, but the same stylish hairstyle.
Kare "on the leg"
Especially brave girls should try to make such a hairstyle. Not everyone is able to cut their hair so short, but this style has its own advantages. In 2016, Victoria Beckham wore such a hairstyle.
The peculiarity of the hairstyle is that the hair on the back of the head is as short as possible, sometimes even shaved bald. From above, this area is somewhat covered by a “cap” of hair. The strands gradually lengthen to the face. This type of square is more popular without graduation. A clear cut adds creativity to the hairstyle. Bangs are usually not worn with such a haircut.
The main advantage of the caret is that it adds volume to the hair, so a haircut is suitable for girls with sparse hair. The neck also looks particularly long and graceful. It is believed that laying does not require much effort.
Square with long front strands
Quite interesting in the photo, the caret hairstyle looks when the front strands are slightly elongated. The back of the hair is much shorter than near the face. The transition is done gradually. The strands can be cut in one line, and graduation is also possible in order to smooth out the difference.
This kind of square gives the hairstyle volume, and long locks in the front stretch the face. For curly hair, it is recommended to make a very small difference in length, and girls with even strands can be bold and make strong contrast. The best hairstyle looks for girls with a round face shape. Caret fits absolutely all types of hair. When deciding on this haircut, you need to remember that the hair on the face will require special styling, since the strands are constantly turning out.
Rack with bangs
It looks pretty cute in the photo of the caret with a bang. There are many varieties of bangs. If you think that this style does not suit you, then most likely you just have not tried everything.
Bangs allow you to adjust some features of the face. For example, a dense straight bang will narrow the forehead, and also reduce the elongated oval. Oblique bangs are best for girls with a round or square face shape. An arched bang is best suited for a rectangular oval. She will smooth all corners of the face.
Graduated caret
Among the hairstyles for women there is also a graduated haircut. The hair is cut at an angle, with elongation to the face. Strands all over the head are cut to different lengths. Stylists thus achieve the effect of careless styling.
According to stylists, graduation greatly simplifies styling. The haircut, as it were, determines the direction of the strands, that is, they will less turn out on the other side. Also, due to the fact that the upper layer of hair is shorter, it is easier to make a voluminous hairstyle.
It is believed that graduated caret fits all face types. For example, girls with a rectangular shape can be graduated from the middle of the hairstyle. Thus, the hairstyle will visually narrow the face.
Cascade
Hairstyle with a cascade - a kind of elongated rack. Hair is cut not in one line, but in steps. This helps to remove the maximum split ends, and also makes the haircut easier, voluminous.
The hairstyle is in many ways similar to the previous type of caret - a haircut with graduation. What they have in common is that the strands are cut not in one line, but in the form of steps. However, with graduation, the transition becomes very noticeable, and with a cascade - smooth. Usually a cascade is done only on the hair near the face, and in the second case, all over the head. In addition, it is believed that graduation looks better on short hair, and the cascade - with a longer haircut.
Asymmetric square
An asymmetrical haircut is also a fairly popular hairstyle this year. Hair is cut shorter on one side than on the other. In this case, the transition should be smooth. Asymmetry is allowed for any square length, contrast can also be different.
Asymmetric caret is usually chosen by young girls who want to stand out from the crowd. The result always lives up to expectations. This haircut option is very striking. It is believed that asymmetry looks best on girls with a round or square face. The diagonal that the ends of the front strands form visually reduces the face. Before you make yourself an asymmetric square, you need to consider that laying will take a lot of time - a long strand will constantly turn out.
Curly hair
For girls with curly hair, you can also try to do a caret hairstyle. The main thing is to use a few tips below.
It is believed that it is best to choose a haircut with graduation, rather than an even cut. Thus, the hair, twisting, will make it voluminous from the middle, and not below. It’s better not to cut the bangs. However, if your hair just curls, and not very curly, you can trim and bangs. You can do almost all the options for a square, but with an asymmetric haircut and hairstyle with elongated front strands, do not make a big difference in length.
Styling options
Do not think that the caret hairstyle may somehow limit your choice of hairstyles. Experiment with a parting. Do it on the side, in the center, and most importantly - do not stop at one styling. Even the most common parting on the side can revive the entire haircut. Try direct styling. At first glance, it seems simple, but in reality it takes the most time and effort, but it's worth it - the square looks simply gorgeous. You can curl the tips inward, this makes the face thin. Of course, try different types of waves and curls. Do not forget about the "wet effect". Complement the hairstyle with small pigtails in the face. Also try making large spikelets on top of the head without grabbing hair on the sides.
