Types of hair edging for men's and women's haircuts and rules for choosing an edging machine

Technique and pattern of the fox tail

If you dream of a lush, luxurious head of hair, but you are quite tired of a simple straight or semicircular edging, then a fox tail hairstyle is what you need. It allows you to create an original triangular edging of the hair along the lower edge, reminiscent in appearance of the silhouette of a foxtail. At the same time, the length of the strands remains practically unchanged; only the side strands near the face are shortened. The back of the female fox tail haircut remains the same length.

Essentially, a fox ponytail is performed based on two techniques - a cascade or a ladder. The edging is a triangle.

Cascade fox tail - best for medium length

If you have thick and heavy hair and want to add lightness and volume to it, then you can make a cascade. All strands are cut using the cascade technique - the design of such a fox tail assumes that all strands are cut along the length of the control strand on the top of the head, with a maximum pull up. In this case, the top of the head, the top layer of hair and the strands near the face are shorter, and the hair at the back is longer. At the end, an edging is made in the shape of a triangle, reminiscent of a foxtail.

This cascading fox ponytail technique works for both long and medium hair. But the cascade option looks best at medium length. Allows you to create chic volume along the entire length, smoothly turning into a sophisticated, elegant tip.

Triangular haircut technology for long hair

If you have long curls, then it is better to style a fox haircut using a ladder, making a triangular edging. This is the best solution for fine hair, thanks to its clear edge it will look fuller and thicker. If the hair is thick enough, then you can do a small graduation and thinning of the ends.

The hairstyle is performed using the Ladder technique - the strands are cut with an extension from the face back, then a triangular tip is shaped. Depending on the overall length of the hair, the V-shaped toe can be styled sharply or more smoothly.

The longer the hair, the more pointed the foxtail can be.

Who is it suitable for?

This popular women's haircut suits many:

1. This is a great option for long and medium hair below the shoulders. The optimal length is below the shoulder blades. The length of the fox tip itself can reach to the waist at the back. From the front, a foxtail can start at shoulder level.
2. You can’t do a ponytail like this on shoulder-length or shorter hair.
3. Looks good on thick hair, but you should choose a cascade option or with graduated ends.
4. For thin strands it is also suitable - the best option is a ladder with a smooth edge in the shape of a triangle. Slight thinning of the ends is allowed.
5. Unfortunately, you can’t create a spectacular ponytail on very sparse hair.
6. The most chic option is a “fox” on straight hair. It is the straight structure that allows you to show all the beauty of a fox hairstyle with clear triangular contours.
7. You can also do it on slightly wavy curls.
8. But among strong curls, the contours of the hairstyle will not be noticeable.
9. The front length of a fox haircut can be any length depending on the type of face and preferences, with or without bangs.

Fox tail styling

The good thing about this hairstyle is that it can be styled in many ways.

• Loose, straight hair looks good - straighten it with an iron or brush for a clear silhouette.
• In the loose version, you can also create light beach waves and loose, loose curls.
• If the length allows, then you can do almost any hairstyle - buns, ponytails of different heights, braids, shells and much more.
• An interesting option for styling with curled ends is to use a round brush to move only the very ends outwards or inwards.

Caring for “chanterelle skin” is no different from other haircuts. Don’t forget to take care of the ends so that they look neat and don’t bristle or split. Make caring masks, apply leave-in products to the ends and use thermal protection.

Fox coloring

Once you have become a fox, then you can choose the appropriate shade. Here, of course, a lot depends on the color type and the color that suits you.

The most popular shades for coloring fox haircuts:

• Red, copper, honey.
• All golden shades of hair.
• Pink gold.
• Chestnut tones and chocolate for brunettes.
• Caramel and wheat for blondes.
• Gray hair color is very popular.
• All ombre and sombre coloring options look very beautiful on an elongated ponytail.
• Coloring, bronding and gradient colors in golden tones are also effective.
• The very ends can be painted using the balayage technique.

Options for hair on the back of the head

The edging of the back of the head is done from the center to the edge, then again reaches the middle, and then moves to the opposite edge. It is believed that this way the cut line will be smooth everywhere. Decorating the back of the head is especially difficult, due to the fact that the shape of the head and the direction of hair growth differ from person to person, so there are no clear instructions for edging. Drawing the ideal contour is achieved in each individual case using different methods. What it will be depends on many factors (hair length, location of the growth line, etc.).

There are several standard techniques for styling hair at the back of the head:

• Straight cut line. The strands are combed, the middle is marked and the length is simply cut off on both sides along the lower border of the hair. The technique is universal, suitable for everyone, but only for long hair.
• The cutting line is arched. The hair is combed and cut with scissors along the lower growth line. Then they comb them over the face and give them an arched shape, cutting the strands at an angle. The cuts are then rounded. The length of this men's haircut is no lower than the collar of a buttoned shirt.
• Horseshoe cutting line. The hair is gathered into a ponytail at the back of the head, pulled back and the unnecessary length is cut off. If a haircut is expected to be extended in front, the side strands are pre-twisted into bundles. The “horseshoe” type of edging is considered universal and is suitable for both women and men, although the version with elongated strands is predominantly for women.
• Oval cutting line. Usually used in women's haircuts. The hair is divided into a horizontal parting from one ear to the other, combed over the face, then a strand is pulled back and the length is cut off.
• Triangular cut line. The strands are combed into a vertical parting, pulled together at the back in the shape of a triangle and cut, adjusting the length to the desired length.
• The figured edging is selected individually.

  
  There are six main types of nape edging; there are also curly ones, which are selected individually

Execution technology

For a fox tail to look truly amazing, a number of certain criteria must be met.

First of all, if the curls are even slightly split, then it is necessary to first cut the hair with hot scissors.

This must be done so that the result of the haircut lasts for a longer time, and the hair itself looks healthy and well-groomed. In a foxtail, the main emphasis is on the rear view.

In this case, an excellent solution that will help enhance the overall effect is original coloring. You can use interesting techniques such as ombre or creative.

The hairstyle is quite easy to style, but a small thinning of the curls along their entire length will make this process simpler and easier.

In this case, when styling, the curls will not only be manageable, but will also sort of fit into the hairstyle themselves.

To prevent the curls from being knocked out when forming a tail from them, you should use a special technique. First, you need to twist the longest strands into a tight bun.

After this, short strands are twisted into neat bundles and pinned with hairpins directly next to the bun. The finished tail will look not only more impressive, but also as neat as possible.

To do this, you need to collect all your hair in a bun, carefully treat it with cosmetic styling compounds, and then beat it well. This hairstyle will exceed all expectations.

In order for a fox tail hairstyle to always look bright and expressive, it should be performed only on clean and healthy strands.

If the curls have any damage, then before cutting, you should definitely carry out restorative manipulations that will make the curls radiant with natural beauty.

To make a fox tail truly incredibly attractive, it is best to contact an experienced stylist who has already had experience performing this haircut.

A professional will be able to choose exactly the shape of the hairstyle that will best suit not only the shape of the face, but also the overall image of the girl.

Techniques such as graduation, torn strands or the feather method will help enhance the effect of your hairstyle.

For thin strands, it is better to style your hair after light curling or coloring.

For curls with a short length, the solution can be their extension, which is performed today in almost any salon.

The styling can be done in the form of a bun or a ponytail, in addition, the strands can be left in a free state.

When styling, it is recommended to use various cosmetic compositions that will slightly enhance the overall effect.

In any case, you should select a hairstyle individually, based on all the main features of the girl.

How to make a ponytail with your own hands - step-by-step guide with photos

Many collected hairstyles start with a simple ponytail. And we will make simple ponytails into beautiful, full-fledged hairstyles.

High ponytail

It's not even a hairstyle, more of a life hack.

Let's start:

1. Gather your hair into a high ponytail and tie it with an elastic band.
2. Throw the tail over your forehead and, as it were, support it from below with bobby pins.
3. Return the tail to its original position.

A very simple way to make your ponytail look taller without having to comb your hair or tie a dozen elastic bands.

Ponytail for business ladies

Everyday hairstyles have not ignored the ponytail. We will make it strict and elegant, in a business style.. Let's start:

Let's start:

1. Apply mousse to your hair.
2. Use a curling iron to lightly curl your hair to create a slight wave – this will add texture to your hairstyle.
3. Part your hair to the side and comb well along the entire length.
4. At the top of your head, take a small section of hair and comb it with a comb.
5. Gently gather all the hair into a ponytail at the back of your head and tie it tightly with an elastic band.
6. Smooth out imperfections, style your bangs the way you like, and spray your hair with hairspray.
7. Wrap a thin strand of hair around the base of the ponytail and hide the tip under the ponytail using a bobby pin.

• A sideways hairstyle made according to this principle will look good, just tie the tail lower and more loosely.
• If you want to give your business image a slight negligence, you can not lick your tail, but let out a few thin strands and leave a few “roosters”.
• To add romance to the look, you can braid a thin braid from the strands in the ponytail, decorating its tip with an openwork elastic band or ribbon.

Lush ponytail

This ponytail should be done with a good backcomb, as in the photo, so the hairstyle will be voluminous. These types of hairstyles with curls look better than straight hair.

Let's get started:

1. If you have naturally curly hair, that’s good; if not, first curl it with a curling iron for fullness.
2. Comb your hair well.
3. Divide them in half, drawing a line with a comb from ear to ear, fix the top part of the hair.
4. Form a ponytail from the bottom of the hair at the back of your head and secure it tightly with an elastic band.
5. Release the top part of the hair, divide it into strands and comb it.
6. Gather the combed upper part of the hair into a ponytail located at the crown.
7. Smooth out any hair imperfections, straighten the top ponytail over the bottom ponytail, and spray your hairstyle with hairspray.

• This ponytail will leave many high hairstyles behind. If you decorate your ponytail with accessories, this hairstyle will complement any evening dress.
• If you like the Boho style, the ponytail can be decorated with elements that match the style and always remain unique.

Wedding hairstyle based on a ponytail

You can easily do such wedding hairstyles yourself, without resorting to the services of a hairdresser.

Let's start:

1. Comb your hair well and use a curling iron to curl your hair all over your head.
2. Divide your hair into the hat, temple and back parts. The last part should be the most voluminous.
3. Comb all parts of your hair. The back of the head needs to be combed especially hard.
4. Divide the back of the head into upper and lower halves. Tie the bottom half into a ponytail with a tight elastic band, put a donut on it and secure it tightly with hairpins.
5. Loosen the hair of the temple and hat zones, using bobby pins, lay them on top of the roller.
6. Style your bangs, if you have them, and spray your hair with hairspray to hold it in place.

If your hair is not full enough, this hairstyle can be complemented with hairpieces matched to your hair color. You can also decorate your hair with hairpins with rhinestones or pearl beads.

What is edging

This is the final treatment of the lower part of the hair to create the contour of the haircut. Sometimes this concept implies a deeper procedure that involves shaping the entire hairline. The edging runs along the perimeter of the head.

• The procedure involves treating various areas: temples, bangs, and back of the head.
• Scissors, clippers, and razors are used for this purpose.
• The procedure can be carried out for all hair or for individual strands.
• The shape is selected personally: the shape of the face and neck is taken into account, a texture is selected that will hide imperfections, attention is paid to the natural direction of hair growth, its thickness, and structure.

Cherish your ponytail! Recommendations for care and styling

When you leave the salon, the haircut is pleasing to the eye. But professional styling, as a rule, lasts until the next morning, and then you have to restore the beauty yourself.

You need to care for the “fox tail” in the same way as any long mane.

• Once a week after washing your hair, make a hair mask from various oils. This is especially true in winter, when they suffer from temperature changes. And the ends must be regularly lubricated with oil at any time of the year.
• Use heat protectants before hot air drying and styling.
• Wash the fox tail not against the grain, but so that the water flows along the hair growth.
• Renew your haircut once a quarter, as hair grows unevenly and an even cut quickly becomes “ragged.”

The hair is usually styled with a hairdryer or straightener. Ironing gives smoothness along the entire length, but this is a risky undertaking, and you should not get carried away with it too often.

Styling with a hairdryer is very simple and involves the help of a brushing comb. You just need to apply mousse along the roots, lift each strand with a comb and use a hairdryer and brushing from roots to ends so that the strand is even and smooth.

On a long “tail”, due to graduation and different levels, careless styling is perfectly obtained - buns, ponytails, curls and braids. At medium length, the choice of hairstyles narrows a little, but the curls and waves are beyond praise! In general, the choice of styling is limited solely by your imagination.

Types of fox tail haircuts

There are two options for cutting a fox tail:

• With a cascade only at the ends of the hair. In this way, only the ends are slightly transformed to give the desired look, but the main length remains.

• With a cascade along the entire length. In this option, the cut will be smoother, the hairstyle will resemble a classic cascade. Perfect for thin, sparse hair to add extra volume and volume. Likewise for curly, heavy hair, it will give them lightness.

For long hair, a fox tail haircut is a great option to add variety to your image. It looks impressive and the length remains untouched. There are a lot of options available for all kinds of styling. Just like straight hair, it can be braided into buns, ponytails, braids, or curled or blow-dryed.

Medium length hair for a fox tail cut must be definitely below the shoulders, otherwise the desired effect cannot be achieved. Those with shorter hair should pay attention to other haircut options or think about hair extensions. On medium hair, the look of the haircut is no worse than on long hair. There is definitely some zest and its own unique charm here.

Styling secrets

As already mentioned, ponytail hairstyles are one of the most difficult to style. The main secret to styling a hairstyle with a ponytail is to know which version of this haircut suits you best. In such haircuts, you can constantly experiment with the location of the bun or ponytail, choosing the most suitable option for yourself.

The key rules for styling curls in a ponytail hairstyle will be discussed below.

Any styling should be done on clean and dry hair - in the case of haircuts with long curls, you will have to regularly visit the hairdresser to get rid of split ends and brittle ends of the hair. Washed curls should not be dried with a hair dryer - the flow of hot and dry air causes the hair to lose strength and natural shine. This effect is most noticeable on long curls. To make your hair more manageable when combing, you can wet it a little before styling. There is no need to overdo it with the amount of moisture, as the curls may take on a sloppy appearance after drying naturally. If we talk about styling products, then to create additional volume you should choose mousse or foam, and to give your hair a natural shine or comb it smoothly on your head, gel or wax is best. The amount of styling products should be moderate, otherwise they will weigh down the hair. When styling, avoid placing the bun or ponytail too low - this option is more suitable for women, but in men's haircuts it looks extremely inappropriate and feminine. To secure hair in a hairstyle, it is better to use invisible or barely noticeable elements.

Avoid using massive accessories - they will distract attention from the entire hairstyle. Invisibility pins and thin dark elastic bands have proven themselves to be the best.

In addition, in a man's look, bright accessories in the hair rarely look good.

The simplest instructions for styling your curls into a beautiful bun will look like this:

• comb clean and dry hair using a regular or massage comb;
• apply styling products to your curls - most often men treat their hair with gel, wax or hairspray;
• Comb your curls again to achieve more volume;
• choose a place to place the tail on the head;
• use a comb to comb the hair on the top of your head back;
• then you should gather your hair into a tight bundle and wrap the curls around its base;
• the bun is secured with an elastic band or bobby pins.

How to style your hair every day?

A graduated haircut for long hair allows you to create a variety of hairstyles, both for every day and for holidays.

Daily styling options:

• Dry your hair with your head tilted forward only at the base of the hair (this will give volume to your hair). Next, use your hands to give the strands a casual look and continue drying (your head in a natural position). Comb your hair and give your hair a slight negligence with your hands;
• Dry hair using brushing (round comb). Strands can be curled in different directions. This will add volume to the styling;
• Apply gel to dry hair and give it a slight roughness with your hands. Let the gel dry and lightly comb your hair;
• When calibrating curly hair, you can use an iron. During the straightening process, slightly curl the ends of the hair;
• To create a voluminous hairstyle on sparse hair, damp hair needs to be styled using gel, a hair dryer and brushing. Twist the strands inward. If necessary, lightly backcomb the strands at the roots. Fix with varnish.

If you have bangs, you can curl them by brushing with a smaller diameter or using your hand, giving a slight negligence. Fix with gel or varnish.

Performance technique

A foxtail hairstyle can freshen up a regular ladder and add definition to a cascade. The haircut is done quickly, but you won’t be able to do it yourself. For a beautiful hairstyle, you should contact an experienced hairdresser who will advise you on the proper processing of the strands and a suitable silhouette.

To make your hair look like the bushy tail of a fox, it is recommended to grow it below your shoulder blades. The model will look most impressive if it is waist-length.

The haircut is done according to the following scheme:

• First, the master measures the length of the front strands, which he begins to cut using the ladder method.
• By laying the foundation on the hair near the facial oval, it determines the sharpness of the future triangular silhouette of the haircut. In a beauty salon, the hairstyle is usually styled in a cascade.
• The “tail” will be made from the central tip of the curls, which is formed with a corner and shortened slightly when sectioned.
• The master cuts the lower strands, starting from the tip of the “tail” and gradually rising to the upper layers.
• Hair on both sides is cut symmetrically, focusing on the central tip of the hairstyle.
• The last strands are adjusted to the hair that was formed around the face.
• The lower part of the resulting hair sheet is cut in a cascading manner in several levels.
• For a better effect, the ends are slightly milled.

For thin hair, graduation of the upper layers is additionally used to add volume. The hard ends are heavily milled to achieve a neat appearance.

Haircut care

The rules for caring for a Fox Tail hairstyle are no different from standard recommendations for long curls. To make your hair happy with shine and shine you need:

choose a professional shampoo according to your hair type, use conditioner or balm after washing; to maintain healthy ends, it is better to leave the hair to dry naturally, minimize the use of curling irons and flat irons, and apply a thermal product to protect the structure; 1-3 times a week, apply a mask rich in oils, vitamins, and plant extracts to your curls; for combing, use a brush with an antistatic effect made from natural materials, act as carefully as possible so as not to damage the trunks.

Classic wedge cut:

• wash your hair, dry it with a towel;
• Apply the mousse to the comb, distribute evenly along the entire length;
• Using a hairdryer and a round brush, wrap the strands one by one with the cuts inward;
• Comb again and fix with varnish.

But even without styling, the hair will keep its shape, a practical option that does not require daily care. In addition to foam for volume, your arsenal of care products should include oil or leave-in conditioner for shine and silkiness of strands. Hairstyles with high ponytails, voluminous braids and buns look impressive. But the strands flowing freely from behind will not go unnoticed by those around you.

Who is it suitable for?

The haircut looks natural, so it is chosen by young ladies of different age groups and professions. Suitable for all face types, combined with straight, asymmetrical, elongated or milled bangs. It can be performed on dyed and natural hair; classic or colored ombre or balayage looks impressive. An ideal option to give a beautiful shape to curly, unruly strands. This is also a godsend for thin, porous hair; the haircut will give the desired thickness and fullness; the curls will create a voluminous cascade even without styling.

Suitable for:

• a wedge-shaped haircut will help you visually look taller and slimmer;
• will decorate young ladies of any age and type of activity, does not contradict the protocol of official meetings and receptions;
• has no restrictions for execution for different strand structures;
• performed on both natural and extensions;
• on smooth, thin hair a clear triangle shape will be visible;
• for hard, thick ones, various thinning techniques are used not only on sections, but also along the entire length of growth;
• for weakened, porous strands, multi-level graduation using hot scissors is recommended;
• You can also tidy up an unruly mop of curly hair; using various thinning techniques will allow you to achieve a pronounced wedge-shaped cut;
• goes well with modern coloring techniques, keratin straightening and lamination procedures.

Not suitable for short and medium lengths, as well as for strong thinning of long strands along the entire perimeter of growth.

Benefits of graduated hairstyles on long hair

A graduated haircut for long hair has a large list of advantages and virtually no disadvantages.

By highlighting or coloring, you can additionally add volume to your hair if it is lacking, or highlight the layering of the strands.

It is important to have a haircut done by an experienced hairdresser, since if the cutting angle is chosen incorrectly, instead of additional volume, the hair will look thinner. To correct the error, you will have to shorten the curls.

Laying options

A haircut in the form of a fox tail looks most advantageous on loose, long, clean strands. To do this, wet curls need to be pulled out using a large-diameter round brush, drying them with a hairdryer. Alternatively, you can use a hot iron to straighten your hair. On loose hair, curls and wavy curls look no less interesting, which can be done using styling products, using hot rollers or a curling iron.

Hair cut in the “fox tail” style can be braided into voluminous braids, gathered into a ponytail or bun of any shape, created in plaits and shells, as well as complex formal hairstyles. In addition, you can dry your hair in a special way by curling the ends of the strands in or out of your hairstyle using a brush and hair dryer.

To create a style based on this haircut, stylists usually use foams, mousses and gels. You can fix your hair with hairspray, and special wax will help highlight certain strands. Try to use styling products in small quantities, as on thin strands, too much will create the effect of dirty hair.

Styling for a medium-length fox tail

Blow dry your hair with a round brush for maximum volume, curling the ends inwards. Curl just the ends onto a large curling iron, creating a “feather” effect. Finish your hair with a texturizing product, such as Biolage Texture Spray with Matcha Green Tea.

You can also create messy beach waves with a foxtail with ease. Simply wash your hair with a texturizing volumizing shampoo like Redken Beach Envy Volume. Apply Wave Aid styling treatment from the same series to towel-dried strands and fluff your hair with your hands, randomly squeezing the strands in your fist and twirling them around your fingers. Repeat every couple of minutes until hair is naturally dry, then set with a texturizing spray such as Matrix Texture Builder.

Who suits the fox tail hairstyle?

“A fox tail will look most advantageous on those with very thick and voluminous hair. Beauties with naturally curly hair will also become irresistible with such a haircut! To achieve layering and dynamics, a fairly large mass of hair is removed during a haircut, so such a haircut requires indications, for example, excess volume and weight of hair.”

Irina Zhokhova Redken Art Partner

For those with thin and weak hair, Redken art partner Irina Zhokhova recommends opting for other forms.

Also, a fox tail is not recommended if you have a long face shape and are not a fan of bangs. The elongated shape of a fox tail can accentuate proportions. Fortunately, this can easily be corrected with bangs, which will add harmony to the hairstyle. But on chubby girls, as well as those with triangle or heart-shaped faces, a fox tail will perfectly balance the image.

Benefits of a fox tail haircut

So, let's summarize the benefits of a foxtail haircut.

Maintains length. Often, long-haired girls want something new, but do not want to say goodbye to their curls

A trendy haircut like a foxtail will freshen up the look and add movement to the mop, while the hair can still be pulled back into a ponytail or braided.

Gets rid of split ends. The foxtail hairstyle effectively combats split ends by significantly lightening the bottom, especially in the front, where split ends draw attention to themselves around the face. In the “fox tail”, the strands framing the face are cut relatively short, which can significantly improve the condition of the hair.

Trimming the contour with hot scissors will help to specifically solve the problem of split ends.

Enhances the rich texture of hair. Fox tail looks great on both thick straight and curly hair. The main secret here is the dramatic difference in length and integrity of the hairstyle, thanks to which the hair falls in a luxurious canvas. An experienced hairdresser will select a graduation technique that suits your hair.

Adds dynamics. Long hair can often look flat. Foxtail helps avoid this by layering.

Many styling options available. The layers and length make this cut the perfect base for a wide variety of styles, from glamorous curls or a sleek Hollywood mop to a surfer-inspired creative mess. Below you will find the best styles for fox tails of different lengths.

An ideal background for experimenting with coloring. Differences in length and layering make the “fox tail” an ideal base for such fashionable colors as balayage and ombre. And given that this haircut leaves room for further experiments with length, it is quite possible to try out current neon shades on the contour of the “fox tail” - this will only emphasize the stylish shape of the haircut.

Disadvantages of a fox tail haircut

The foxtail is a feminine hairstyle that suits many people. However, some of its features indicate a demanding character. Here's something to keep in mind as you decide whether a foxtail is right for you.

• Minimum length to shoulder blades. The same dramatic difference in length between the front and back that makes this haircut so striking on long hair makes it inaccessible to those with short hair. The minimum initial hair length for a “fox tail” is up to the shoulder blades; Moreover, upon completion of the haircut, the strands in front will be noticeably higher than the shoulders.
• Needs to be supported. The graphic outlines of the haircut require attention, so regular visits to the stylist to maintain the contours cannot be avoided.
• You need healthy hair. A fox tail looks most flattering on shiny, well-groomed hair. On dull, lifeless strands, styling will look untidy. That is why it is worth visiting your specialist regularly and using the care products that we will discuss below.
• Not the best option for curly hair. Wavy locks in a foxtail look luxurious, but those with tight curls may be disappointed when they don't see the coveted triangle at the bottom of their hair. At the same time, curls are not a contraindication to such a hairstyle, unlike sparse and thin hair. It’s just that in the case of curly hair, the outline of the haircut will be more chaotic, which can also look very stylish. If you want a more defined shape on tight curls, choose other haircuts.

Types of edging

Bang edging

Its appearance and size depend on the edging of the bangs. When designing bangs, craftsmen take a triangular or rectangular strand of hair as a basis. Moreover, its upper corner sometimes reaches the very top of the head. The length of the bangs varies as the client wishes. Bang edging styles are discussed below.

• Straight edge. The even edging method will suit anyone. For example, it can be found in men's and women's hairstyles, on absolutely straight and curly curls. For women, as a rule, their bangs are cut slightly below the eyebrow line. And for men, it’s at the eyebrow or a little higher. This design is done in a straight line. The master combs the bangs downwards, cuts from the center in both directions, forming an even line.
• Corner edging. The triangular shape of the bangs fits perfectly on straight hair. It looks good with length to the center or to the tip of the nose. This variation of the edging is indicated for those who want to have long bangs.
• Oval concave bangs. The arched bangs fit perfectly on straight and very thick curls. This type is suitable for all variations of a short bob. Concave oval bangs can be styled like this: comb your hair in the middle, select a strand and cut it to the desired length.
• Semicircle edging. Semicircular bangs are designed for women. This design suits curly hair.
• In addition to those mentioned, there are asymmetrical, creative curly, long below the eyebrows and milled types of bangs.

The edging of the bangs can be straight, angled, semicircular or asymmetrical, a classic bob with thick straight bangs

Temple edging

Hairdressers perform temple edging using different methods. Please note that the line of the back of the head goes into the line of the temple, so their combination should be harmonious. The design of the temporal region is of the following types.

• Classic whiskey in men's haircuts. To decorate the temples in a classic style, comb the hair in this area downwards and make a straight cut. The remaining hair on the temple is pulled behind the ear and the composition is cut to fit the shape of the ear. Combing the curls towards the face forward, unite the line of the bangs and temple. Then, behind the ear, the hair is combed towards the auricle and trimmed along the perimeter of the edging.
• Oblique temples. Oblique temples are appropriate for sparse, thin and soft hair. There are two variations: oblique temples with a short and long straight line.
• Hungarian temple. The beautiful Hungarian temple is designed for curly and thick hair. The standard length is to the center of the ears.
• Sharp temple. The pointed edging of the temples goes with haircuts for straight hair and is equally good for men and women. This includes all short bob haircuts. Average length - up to the earlobe.
• Straight whiskey. There are several types of straight temples.

Long straight temples are cut almost like classic straight temples.

Long straight temples also have a technique similar to the classics. The optimal length is to the center of the ear or longer.

Short straight temples for a haircut do not cause problems, as they are universal. They perfectly complement any haircut. For example, you can choose a sports option. This season, it is fashionable to leave a minimum of vegetation on the temple.

A rounded straight temple is optimal for curly thin curls.

A straight temple is indicated for straight hair of significant thickness. As a rule, its borders are lower than the hairline.

Edging of the neck and back of the head

The processed edge of short haircuts follows the boundaries of hair growth in the neck area. The edging of the back of the head is divided into 6 types.

• Triangular edging. The triangle design in the hairstyles of women and men differs in length. The master makes a vertical parting, dividing the hair into two parts along it. Then he pulls the strands to the sides from the parting and trims them with an internal cut so that a neat triangle is formed. A triangular edging is performed when the hair spontaneously gathers into 1-3 braids.
• Straight edge. Haircuts for women and men of very different lengths can be edged in a straight way.

How to care and style?

A fox tail haircut allows you to create any spectacular styling on your head at home; the only hindrance here can be strands that get out of the hairstyle, so you should take proper care of them.

Tail

If you intend to put a classic ponytail on your head, it will not be easy to capture all the strands near the crown; here you need to make sure that the curls do not stick out in different directions. To make your hair more neat, you need to use a regular hairdryer. The hair near the base should be fluffed up a little, and then creating a spectacular ponytail will not cause you any trouble.

Scythe

The braid goes well with braiding, but here you need to keep in mind that you are unlikely to be able to braid it to the end on your own - even if you try to do this, the shorter strands will immediately start to get out of the braiding, resulting in a sloppy hairstyle. Therefore, the recommended braids here are those that end where the short strands begin and leave the rest free. In this case, it is better to curl the ends a little so that they look softer and more harmonious.

Bun

It’s not so easy to make a bun on your head, which is fashionable this season, but there is a way out - you can first roll up the longest curls, and then simply wrap the shorter ones around your bun - the ends in this design are tucked under an elastic band and hidden with hairpins or invisible.

Loose

A fox tail looks very impressive on loose hair, and styling in this case takes no more than 5-10 minutes - all you need is a hairdryer and a round brush.

To begin with, apply a little styling mousse or foam to the curls, and then use a brush to slightly lift the hair at the roots and dry it with a hairdryer, thus making the curls more voluminous and full. After this, you can work on the ends - direct a stream of air from a hairdryer onto them, while using a brush, wrap the strands slightly inward and wait until they dry completely.

Keep in mind that a regular comb is not used here - if you twist your curls on it, you won’t be able to turn them back - the hair will become tangled, and in order to return it to its original state, you will have to go through many unpleasant minutes.

In general, caring for a “fox tail” is not at all difficult. The basic recommendations here are no different from the familiar tips for medium and long strands. In order for your curls to please you with their shine, radiance and health for as long as possible, you need to:

• give preference to professional shampoos, in accordance with the structure and type of hair;
• After each wash, apply conditioner;
• a couple of times a week, make nourishing masks on your curls, rich in healthy vitamins, minerals and oils;
• To comb your hair painlessly, use a special brush with a special antistatic effect - it is made from natural materials and acts gently without damaging the hair shaft.

Fox tail haircut and fashionable coloring options

The essence of a fox tail haircut is a contour formed by the letter V. And this year's trending colors, such as balayage and ombre, can emphasize it even more. They will certainly add brightness and personality to this haircut. Another option is that the tips painted in an unnatural color look very cool. They will create an additional accent to the contour.

The fox tail haircut got its name due to the edging of the ends of the hair, which closely resembles a fox tail. This is a great option for showing off your own curls in a loose form, plus styling is done in a few minutes. The fox tail is the most popular haircut for girls with long hair, although it is also suitable for medium hair. The ideal long hair for this haircut is hair just below the shoulder blades.

This hairstyle best reveals its beauty on loose long hair; in addition, “Fox” is a good basis for simple hairstyles. The outline is shaped like a V or a triangle. Moreover, the design depends on the color, structure and type of hair. On manageable hair, smooth edges will achieve an excellent effect, but with coarse and thick hair, it is better to decorate with feathers. One of the most practical ways to create such a hairstyle is a cascade or multi-layered contour design. This design looks great on straight hair, but at the same time this miracle is for curly and wavy hair. Because of the cascade, the hair appears even more voluminous.

This hairstyle goes well with elements or patterns of other hairstyles, thanks to which it always looks unique and attractive. “Fox ponytail” looks good with or without bangs, but if you are a girl with a large forehead, then it is better for you to do a fox tail with bangs. But not only girls with a large forehead are suitable for bangs, because it all depends on your face shape. However, a universal combination would be a ponytail with straight bangs or arched bangs. And the view from the back will be simply stunning.

Another feature of this haircut is that to create it you do not need to sacrifice long hair (unlike haircuts only for short hair). If you get this haircut, there is a good chance that you will get a new look. If you want such a haircut, you should contact a hairdresser who has flattering reviews, he will help you choose the right style. How your fox tail will look depends on your face and the condition of your hair, but whether you have bangs or not is up to you.
