A hairstyle called a long caret is the peak of elegance, simplicity and versatility. It is found so often that we even forgot how to mark it in the stream of people coming towards us. Why, then, do stylists and hairdressers all over the world pay so much attention to a long square, create all kinds of varieties and sing praises in his honor? This issue must be understood.
What it is?
What we see in the photo, a long square, in fact, is an overgrown square, which has lost its formerly deliberately short length, but more or less retained its shape. We often saw such a haircut not only among stars and models, but also on our friends and relatives. You can get it in two ways: by growing a previously trimmed square or build on the basis of long curls. A long square has many varieties, but in each of its forms it has an important advantage: the hairdo hides various kinds of facial flaws, makes the appearance more perfect, close to ideal. It suits absolutely everyone, regardless of age, social status or color of hair. But in order to present yourself in a favorable light with the help of a haircut, it is worth choosing the most optimal option from the proposed ones. It is he who will emphasize your inner "I", your pluses and features of appearance.
To begin with, we offer to consider the main types of haircuts long caret, as well as their compatibility with certain facial features.
Classic version
The words here are perhaps unnecessary. The haircut is evenly cut hair, the length of which descends just below the level of the shoulders. The hairstyle is incredibly versatile, it looks great on straight and curly hair, blends in harmoniously with any look, combines with both dark and light and even fiery red curls. When a classic caret for long hair is made (see photo below), the strands are cut at an angle of 45 degrees, in the direction from the occipital region to the temples. The result is that the front of the hairstyle is slightly longer than the back, but this difference is not striking, but only creates an elegant and sophisticated effect. A haircut is also good because many hairstyles can be made on its basis. Hair is easily collected in a ponytail or bun, from which you can braid a braid (or several braids), or you can simply wind it on curlers, making the image as feminine and romantic as possible.
Overgrown asymmetric square
To understand this haircut, you should look at its original, that is, at the "not overgrown" asymmetric square. It is understood that the center is shifted to one side, a side parting is done on the side, and the strands on the one hand remain as long as possible, and on the other they are cut very short, almost "under the boy". Asymmetric long caret does not look so extreme, although it retains its former extravagance and chic. Hairstyle perfectly smooths out various kinds of defects and imperfections. It hides large cheekbones and chin, makes the forehead narrower and higher, and distracts attention from a too large nose. It is believed that it suits only a young category of women - from 18 to 35 years old. But in some cases it is impossible to imagine a mature woman with a haircut different from an asymmetric elongated caret.
Graduated haircuts
Graduation is a technique by which two birds with one stone are killed at once. Firstly, it creates volume, that is, it can be used to transform rare and thin hair. Secondly, it creates a unique effect of "torn" ends, making any hairstyle stylish, explosive and very bright. When a graduated elongated caret for long hair is done , the strands are cut at a certain angle. As a result, it turns out that there is no single clear line of the bottom of the head of hair, there are shorter, knocked out curls in the hairstyle that create volume. Then graduation and thinning is performed, and the haircut acquires a complete appearance. In rare cases, graduated caret, even its elongated version, prohibit too strict dress codes. Consider this when choosing a hairstyle.
Extra long bob
It is a well-known fact that a bob haircut is a derivative of a square, which appeared in the middle of the twentieth century. For most, it is associated with hair of equal length, which barely reaches ear level. But modern fashion everywhere makes its own corrections, and an elongated bob based on a square is one of the new squeaks of fashion. This hairstyle is significant in that the temporal locks remain as long as possible - they can reach the level of the chest. Towards the back of the head, the length is reduced until it reaches its minimum. In an elongated version, such a hairstyle should slightly cover the back of the head. Also note that the owners of the bob-car in a long form should follow its styling. All strands should be wrapped inward or they should be perfectly aligned.
Owners of curls
When it comes to curly hair, all the old laws that work for straight curls cease to apply. Even an ultra-short square, made on curls, has a large length, since the bet is that the hair will be curled all the time. As for the elongated caret, it looks like this if, in an even form, curly hair reaches the level of the bottom of the shoulder blades. Twisting, they are almost two times shorter, creating an unprecedented volume and head. It is worth remembering that a long square in the presence of curlers requires constant care. Dry your head with a special diffuse nozzle for a hairdryer. So the curls will be more structured and homogeneous. Also, hair needs creams and styling products. They will help pacify curly hair and make a beautiful styling.
If you can not live without a bang
Bangs, alas, have sunk into oblivion. Even 15-20 years ago, without this element of hairstyle, it was impossible to meet a girl. The bangs were thick and sparse, they were combed or perfectly aligned, made smooth, as if under a ruler, or oblique, asymmetrical. But despite the fact that this trend has gone out of fashion, she has taken root in the images of many women. It is difficult for them to imagine their face without a bang, in which case you do not need to abandon it. What can stylists offer in this case? A long square with bangs is a classic. This option is often found in fashion magazines, it is chosen by some celebrities. It is only important to remember that the bangs should repeat the texture and shape of the overall hairstyle. If you wear a graduated square, then the bangs should have torn edges. Owners of a classic haircut will suit both straight and slightly beveled bangs. But with the asymmetric options for the square, this element will not be combined.
Advantages of haircuts
After the stylists of the whole world convinced us that an elongated hair style is a godsend for everyone, we decided to find out why this is so.
- The haircut is universal. She looks great with any type of appearance, on women of all ages and social groups.
- The long caret has an incredibly deep texture. It combines classics, modernity, elegance and light negligence.
- Varieties. There are so many of them today that a schoolgirl, and a grandmother, and a burning brunette mulatto, and a Nordic white-skinned blonde can choose a suitable option for herself.
- The hairstyle is incredibly natural. The length is slightly less than average, while the hair is almost equal in length and harmoniously cover the cheeks and cheekbones.
- Elongated caret allows you to adjust your external data. It makes the oval of the face perfect, distracts attention from sharp outlines and creates the effect of mysterious eyes.
disadvantages
Finding those turned out to be very difficult, since, in fact, they are not. The only drawback (although you can’t call it that) is the poorly selected version of this haircut. For example, a classic long square without a bang will not be very profitable to look at the owner of an elongated or rhomboid face. To visually increase the cheekbones, such girls need to choose either asymmetry or a slanting bang. As for the round face, in this case, this styling option will be just perfect, especially if the temporal strands are slightly twisted.
To summarize the material
Like the classic, short, elongated caret is a universal hairstyle and is suitable for everyone. It skillfully smooths out various imperfections in appearance and presents the face in a favorable light. Haircut is relevant for all ages and social groups, it combines with dark and blond hair, and also has a number of varieties. If you want to become the owner of a long square, but can not choose the option that will decorate you, contact the stylist. Based on the type and shape of the face, he will choose a haircut that will most favorably emphasize the pluses and reveal the hidden features of the appearance.
