Layered graduated haircut
The layered effect in haircuts for long hair is achieved by creating strands of different lengths at different levels. This allows you to adjust the volume of your hair:
- concentrate the main volume on the crown;
- make the ends lighter by reducing the volume at the bottom.
This haircut is called “layered graduated”. She creates unconventional images that are attractive and playful. A haircut relieves hair that is too voluminous and thick, making the hairstyle more neat and making daily hair styling easier.
Thinning the ends transforms dull, straight and thin hair into more volume and shine. This haircut is not suitable for girls with a round face; for others there are no restrictions.
Beautiful hairstyles with braids for long hair
#1 Gorgeous voluminous spikelet
Pull your hair into a ponytail.
Divide the ponytail into 3 parts, and use 2 side parts of the ponytail to overlap its central part on top and secure the two upper strands with an elastic band.
Wrap the lower side strands of the ponytail over the central part of the ponytail and secure the upper strands again with an elastic band.
Continue braiding as described above.
To add volume to the spikelet, stretch the upper parts of the weave to the sides.
#2 Braid at the back of the head
Tilt your head down and do a Dutch braid at the back of your head. This is a version of an inside-out braid, when the strands are intertwined not above the central strand, but below it.
Secure the braided braid with an elastic band on the top of your head.
Wrap the remaining tail around its base, making a bun.
You can slightly fluff the braid by stretching its weaves to the sides.
If desired, secure your hair with hairspray.
A more elegant hairstyle looks like this:
The bun is made more neat (you can use an elastic band). The braid at the back of the head is not as wide and fluffy as in the first version. The bun is wrapped at the base with another thin braid, which must be made by taking a strand from the tail.
#3 Waterfall from braids
How to make a braid - a waterfall:
Comb clean hair to make it as smooth as possible.
Separate 3 strands of equal width and thickness from the side.
Using these 3 strands, make a braid as follows: place the top strand in the middle (through the top), then the bottom strand in the middle. Make two such bindings. Place the top strand in the middle again, now place the bottom strand in the middle.
Leave the strand that is located below (photo 4) freely flowing. This will be the first trickle of the waterfall.
Instead of the left strand, take a new small strand from the total mass of hair from below. And to the top strand, add a small strand of hair above the braid, thus weaving the hair into the existing braid.
Continue braiding as described above. It can be carried either horizontally or at an angle. During weaving, falling strands should be pulled forward and held so that they do not interfere. If you are getting this hairstyle, you can hold the strands with your hand. If you do your hair yourself, there is no other more convenient way than to hold these strands with your teeth.

Haircut without bangs: shag
Long hair without bangs can be cut to create a playful look. A shag haircut will allow you to achieve the desired effect - a retro style that came back into fashion two years ago and is still relevant.
What is the secret of the shag? The fact is that this haircut does not require styling. Maintaining the correct shape, you just need to wash and dry your hair, it will fall into short horizontal strands. In its extreme form, the shag is slightly tousled:
- deliberately careless waves scatter over the shoulders;
- torn textured ends.
The strands are cut around the circumference of the head - the hair acquires greater volume and lightness. The haircut is ideal for thin hair, but it should be thick.
