Oblique or milled bangs can correct a triangular and diamond-shaped face.
For a shoulder-length bob, you can cut short bangs. If your hair slightly hides your ears, it is better to pay attention to bangs with extension.

Straight bob without bangs

It is universal for the fair sex of all ages. However, a straight bob without bangs is intended for an oval face: with it, the haircut looks most ideal.

To enhance the features of women with square or round faces, it would be appropriate to make an oblique cut.

REFERENCE! This square can be emphasized by graduation or highlighting. An unusual addition would also be balayage - a hair coloring method that imitates strands that have faded in sunlight.

To extend below the shoulders

This option is as popular with celebrities as it is with fashionistas. Ideal for those who dream of radical changes. This trendy haircut is a good compromise between short and medium hairstyles.

Who is suitable and who is not?

This haircut will be the ideal solution for women with perfectly smooth and even hair, a thin long neck and round cheeks.

It is worth looking for another option in the following situations:

Wavy hair does not go well with this hairstyle, and to give it a normal look, you will have to spend a lot of styling.
An elongated bob will only emphasize a short neck.
Thinning and weak hair - this situation can only be helped with the help of a cascade. Older ladies are also better off choosing this option - an asymmetrical bob will immediately remove the years from the face and make the overall look lighter.
A thin and narrow face will look even thinner, but if you add curls, the problem can be solved.

Hair color plays absolutely no role when choosing a haircut. This hairstyle will look equally wonderful on blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

Graduated

Graduation is often performed on the side strands. As a result, they look “more dynamic” and lighter. When grading the strands, rough facial features are softened. A haircut is recommended for those with angular face types, massive jaws, and large noses. A high forehead with a graduated hairstyle will help to hide even or slightly “ragged” bangs.

The graduation is suitable for thick, heavy hair. Cutting at an angle creates volume in areas of greatest thinning.

Also suitable for thin, healthy hair that lacks volume. During the cutting process, the master processes the edge of the strand using thinning scissors. After visiting the salon, be sure to use leave-in products for the ends to “glue” them together.

A heavily graduated hairstyle is contraindicated for curly, dull, tangled hair. It is impossible to see the edge pattern on the curls. They look like a tangled mop of different lengths.

Weakened hair will appear thinner. The edges will soon begin to split and break along the entire length. Before graduation, it is better to treat them: use protective and nourishing products, refuse a hairdryer and dry them naturally, straighten the ends monthly.

Smooth bob without bangs for thick, thin or curly hair

Due to its versatility and variety of shapes without bangs, a straight bob haircut is perfect for women, regardless of the thickness and structure of the hair.

Women with thick hair will not have to choose a suitable bob variation for a long time. On such hair, a haircut of any length and shape looks equally attractive and natural.

All the beauty of thick hair will be demonstrated by a bob with a closed nape. To create a smooth transition from the crown to the back of the head, slightly wavy hair should be graduated.

A bob on hair that is not thick enough looks more attractive in a shortened version, which allows you to visually give it volume.

A voluminous bob is also an appropriate option for women with thin hair. Fantasy styling plays an important role in this. To style straight hair, it is better to use an iron or curling iron. For slightly wavy hair, a few strokes of the comb will be enough.

Dressing steeply curly hair into a stylish haircut is not an easy task. If the strands stubbornly curl into curls and cannot be styled in any way, an even bob without bangs will be the best option for them.

Asymmetrical

Brave, daring women can afford a bob with elongated strands on one side of the parting. It is suitable for round or square face types. Asymmetry distracts the eye from the features of the face and lengthens it.

An asymmetrical long haircut is suitable for girls and mature women. In young beauties, the difference between the strands can reach up to 10 cm. They can be torn, graduated along the entire length. The haircut gives more “audacity” to the image. In older women, the difference in length is insignificant, more imperceptible.

It is not recommended to create asymmetrical haircuts with curly hair structure. By fluffing up, they violate the intended design and look unkempt.

Ombre dyeing for short hair: photo

A long bob haircut is exactly the option on which even ombre looks beautiful. Ombre looks impressive on both light and dark hair, regardless of the hair structure (straight or curly). In ombre, the most important thing is to choose the tones, so this coloring should be done in a salon. Nowadays it is fashionable to select tones so that there is no strong contrast, but a smoother transition, like the effect of burnt hair.

How to style: nuances of care

A long haircut requires styling with a hairdryer and styling products. When washing, be sure to use masks and conditioners selected according to the type of hair: for colored, thinning, lacking volume, damaged, wavy.

Installation order:

After washing, the strands are gently blotted with a towel, collecting excess moisture.
Apply leave-in products if necessary.
Dry with a hairdryer until slightly damp.
Divide into two parts along the line from ear to ear.
The upper part is pinned, the lower part is dried using a brushing comb and a hairdryer. The hair is scrolled on a comb, setting the direction of the strands. Pulling a little adds volume at the roots.
Chopping off strands, the rest is dried.
At the end, bangs are laid.
Spray your hair with hairspray.

Round

Those with a round face are distinguished by wider cheekbones and cheeks. With the help of a haircut, we need to hide excess roundness and slightly elongate the face. An elongated and straight shoulder-length bob without bangs is ideal for this. It is better to choose a side or oblique parting. And the volume should start from the top of the head and go down to the “ragged” ends. It is better not to twist the bob with a curling iron; straight hair will look much better. An asymmetrical elongated bob will also perfectly highlight the charms of the face.

"Care on a leg"

A straight bob with a leg is strikingly different from all other options. Most girls have been familiar with this type of haircut since childhood. It can rather be classified as a short haircut, since the length of the shortest curl barely reaches the chin. And on the back of the head, the strands are completely shaved off with a machine. Thanks to this cutting method, the hairstyle becomes very voluminous. Light graduations are allowed if desired.

Advice. This type of bob is recommended for girls with a thin and graceful neck. In other cases, a bob on a leg will only highlight flaws in appearance. It should also be taken into account that such a haircut requires frequent correction.

Who is the haircut suitable for?

Short variations of this hairstyle make you look very young. However, they are not suitable for everyone, but only for thin women. If you have voluminous shapes, a haircut will only emphasize them.

If you don’t mind medium length, then this hairstyle will suit ladies of any size.

You can choose either elongated front strands or an even cut. Both of these options are relevant and in demand.

A bob for wavy hair without styling covers different options: from large waves to small curls. If your hair is thick and coarse, you can make a hybrid of a bob and a cascade. A layered haircut promotes manageability and gives unruly hair an orderly look.

Haircut options without styling

The main thing that should be advised to those who do not want to constantly style their hair is to stop straightening their magnificent curls. Nature has given you volume and curls that girls with straight hair can only dream of.

To avoid styling wavy hair, choose a cascade, ladder, shag, bob or garcon. All these haircuts, if done by a professional, do not require styling. It is enough to wash your hair and dry it without a hairdryer. Moreover, such haircuts without styling look like you just left a beauty salon. The most that may be required is to run your palms with mousse through the wavy curls - and the styling is ready!

If you don’t have time to style wavy hair, choose a ladder haircut. A cascade haircut can be worn without styling. A bob haircut is gorgeous even without styling. Garcon without styling can only be worn by women with wavy hair.

Square cascade and ladder

A cascade haircut done on medium hair helps to add additional volume to the hairstyle. Smoothly made transitions of the strands allow you to add femininity and romance to the image. Bangs will help to disguise existing imperfections, which will somewhat cover the forehead and go slightly to the side.

This haircut looks impressive on light brown hair. If desired, you can highlight individual strands with a different color.

Cascading haircuts are distinguished by the fact that they are universal and suitable for absolutely any age. In addition, a big plus is the many styling options. The shoulder-length bob haircut with a ladder is also popular. This is a convenient and practical choice. The ladder is easy to style and looks beautiful with curls and straightened strands.

Using ladder-cut locks, you can add additional volume to the cheekbones and visually correct a thin, elongated face and hide a sharp chin.

Choosing a hairstyle by hair type

A shoulder-length bob haircut is suitable for any hair type, as it has many different options. On thin people, layered asymmetry will look very beautiful, for example, a cascade or a ladder with bangs to one side. Asymmetrical strands will help give your curls additional volume and make them somewhat thicker.

For curly hair, a cascade would be an ideal option. If the curls are soft, then the bob will look very advantageous. After looking at the photo of a shoulder-length bob haircut with bangs, you can see that this is a very good option for wavy curls. If you do the haircut correctly, even without styling it will look stylish and beautiful.

A shoulder-length straight bob haircut is suitable for thick hair. For perfectly straight curls, a cascade is well suited, which will help add volume. In addition, girls with this type of hair will help experiment with the length of their haircut. The curls will lie perfectly even without styling and the use of additional products.

“Perfect Smooth” styling

The opposite of the previous option. This hairstyle looks equally good on any length.

Wash your hair and treat it with a protective product against high temperatures.
Dry your hair thoroughly, it should be completely dry.
Divide the mass into several parts.
Use a straightening iron to straighten each strand. Ready!

After straightening, the hair can be left fluffed or pulled into a ponytail.

Whatever method you use to style your hair, you should not get too carried away with styling products. A large amount of mousse and varnish will turn a light feminine hairstyle into a standing wig. To create a hairstyle, a small amount of foam, the size of a walnut, is enough, and if we are talking about gel, then even less. As for varnish or spray, 1-2 sprays are enough to ensure that the styling lasts throughout the day. It is better to choose strong fixation products; much less of them are required.

A bit of asymmetry

The name of the haircut speaks for itself - the strands on different sides differ in length. The asymmetrical version looks great with side bangs or without bangs at all, giving the image an unusual, extravagant look, sometimes shocking and even defiant. Suitable for modern young girls who keep up with fashion trends, do not shy away from experiments with creating an image and are not limited by the need to adhere to a strict style.

Bold, unusual, stylish hairstyles are complemented by original makeup that complements the look. You can also dye your bangs or individual strands a different color, but again, this is acceptable if the owner of the haircut does not need to adhere to a strict style and image from time to time.
