Hair that is approximately shoulder length is popular among women for two reasons. Long curls decorate a girl, but require careful care. They are more difficult to comb, take longer to style, and require twice as much care products.
- Medium haircuts according to face shape
- Oval
- Round
- Square
- Triangular
- Rectangular
- Pear-shaped
- Diamond-shaped
Short ones are not whimsical. Often a short haircut does not require styling. However, short hairstyles also have a disadvantage. The problem is that there are not many styling options for short hair. And they don’t suit every face shape. Well, if the head circumference is not the most beautiful, then a short hairstyle will expose the shortcomings.
Hair to the shoulder blades is the golden mean. The length allows you to experiment with types of styling and choose the right ones for your face shape. And caring for them is not as burdensome as caring for long curls.

If you have hair up to your shoulder blades and you haven’t decided how best to cut your hair, then the following tips should help you. When choosing, it is worth considering several criteria:
- straight or curly hair;
- the thickness of the hair shaft and its rigidity;
- face shape.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 for medium hair
Medium hair length is the maximum scope for experimentation. You can cut them off, you can grow them out, you can build them up, you can make bangs, you can change your hairstyle several times a week... But let’s take it in order.
Perhaps the hit of 2021 will be the “lob” - an elongated bob , from the English long bob. It is ideal both as a main haircut and as an intermediate option between short and long natural hair. Stylists like this hairstyle for its variety of variations. The bob can have a sharp cut and smooth strands of the same length, or it can look lush and even slightly disheveled due to multi-layering and deep thinning. Also in trend are long bobs with asymmetrical edges, which help hide the disproportion of facial features.
As for bangs, any version of it looks good with an elongated bob. Straight is suitable for graduated, slightly wavy strands, oblique - for those with light, thin hair. Girls can also imitate bangs by using a deep side parting.
bob with shaved temples or the back of the head is trendy and relevant since last year . If you are not ready for such radical changes, try cutting one side at an acute angle, leaving long strands on the other side, or simply lay one side on its side.
The cascade, beloved by many, also does not go out of fashion. But this season you should pay attention not to the traditional, but to more modern versions of this haircut. Ask your hairdresser to complement the multi-level cascade with deep thinning, asymmetrical cuts, or even short hair at the temples.
Lovers of bobs will also have to sweat a little - the haircut in the spring-summer 2021 season should look more daring . Asymmetry will help with this, when the strands on one side of the face reach the shoulders, and on the other they barely tuck behind the ear.
To add femininity and softness to the image, pay attention to A-line haircuts with elongated strands near the face and shorter ones on the top of the head. They look especially good when styled in large natural curls.
Natural hair just below the shoulders also has its place, but only in combination with beautiful styling or original coloring. It’s better to leave the “wake up and go” look for the home; this year more complex solutions are in fashion.
Classic haircuts for medium hair
The length of the strands from the chin to the shoulder blades is universal, helping to create the desired style - discreet, elegant or daring, bold. Classics in the world of haircuts that do not lose relevance are the favorite bob, bob and cascade.
Kare
The classic version of the bob is characterized by an even cut along the bottom edge, with a length just below the earlobe. The occipital part is trimmed, and the main volume is concentrated in the temporal region. The haircut involves straight or semicircular thick bangs. This hairstyle is chosen by discreet ladies who prefer clear lines and regular, neat silhouettes.
Over time, the bob transformed and adapted to the needs and wishes of the girls. This is how new interesting haircuts appeared:
- without bangs (with a straight or side parting);
- with long bangs on one side;
- with long frontal strands just below the chin.
A beautiful hairstyle option is an elongated bob. It has a straight cut, but the hair length increases to the shoulders. This technique corrects the oval of the face and stretches the neck.
Bean
Bob is a trendy haircut that is distinguished by its versatility and variety of execution. Can be used on hair of different textures. Suitable for brunettes and blondes, there are no age restrictions - it rejuvenates and refreshes mature women, adds charm to young girls.
The criteria for a classic bob haircut are as short as possible, sometimes shaved, at the back of the head, and a voluminous crown. Soft graduated transitions and a smooth cut are also characteristic. The side strands reach the chin and frame the face. You can complement your hairstyle with bangs - oblique or straight.
Other haircut variations also look beautiful:
- Long bob. The length of the hair is shoulder-length, an even cut is maintained, but thanks to smooth transitions, the image becomes balanced and elegant.
- Side bob. An original hairstyle, the peculiarity of which is the shape of the cut. It is performed at an angle - the hair is shorter at the back of the head, but gradually lengthens towards the side strands. The transition is carried out in different ways. Almost unnoticeable if the difference is 1-2 cm. In the contrasting version, the back of the head is short, and the front strands reach the shoulders. This haircut emphasizes the beauty of the neck, making the image seductive and mysterious.
Cascade
Cascade is a universal multi-level haircut that harmonizes any look. The hairstyle makes thin hair voluminous, gives structure to thick and curly hair, and gives lightness and freshness. The curls look well-groomed, healthy, and lush.
The technique of performing a cascade consists of parallel, step-by-step cutting of hair. A haircut gives you the opportunity to experiment with styling options - curl your curls outward or inward, create a neat, smooth hairstyle or create slight chaos. The choice depends on the woman’s mood, imagination, and taste preferences.
The classic cascade and bob are considered basic haircuts. Based on them, other original model hairstyles are created.
Long-term hairstyle options
Long-term perm is a solution to many problems. By doing this style on thin medium hair, you will make your life much easier. True, perm hair, loved by many women, is receding into the background today. Professional hairdressers warn that this type of styling is harmful to hair. Therefore, it is better to give preference to a more modern and safe biowave.
If you decide to take such a step as long-term perm, approach it responsibly.
ADVICE. Contact only experienced and professional craftsmen who will carry out this procedure as carefully and carefully as possible.
Mullet hairstyle for medium hair
Not the simplest, but the most fashionable haircut option at the moment. When there is a pronounced difference in the length of the front and back hair, layers of “torn” strands. And this trend is with us for a long time, so we can shift the focus to a similar style. Visually, a mullet can highlight a sporty style, and bangs are often recommended to go with it. As for styling, it is considered comfortable, especially with elements of grunge style.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 for short hair
Definitely, the most fashionable haircut for short hair in 2019 will be the perky pixie . Moreover, thanks to hundreds of variations, it will suit women of any age and, most importantly, will look appropriate in any setting.
The distinctive features of a pixie are the most open areas of the neck and ears, as well as a combination of short strands on the temple area with long and even curly ones on the crown and bangs. Also in fashion are protruding strands, formed with the help of a styling product, which give the haircut a boyish enthusiasm.
An elongated pixie looks more serious, smoothly turning into a bob. Graduated strands require virtually no styling, but if the length allows, you can create stunning volume or light waves.
The shag is another option for a spectacular haircut for short hair. In general, this voluminous haircut can be done at any length, but in 2021 the short shag is in fashion. It refreshes the image, making the woman sexier and younger. Ideal spring option!
Alternatively, you can add side-swept bangs to your fluffy shag to correct disproportionate features or roundness of the face.
A textured shag with well-profiled strands looks bold, but very “correct.” It is suitable for owners of thin and brittle hair during the recovery period, as it holds its shape well and makes it possible to remove “dead” ends as much as possible.
A short bob cut to the middle of the ear will appeal to brave women who love change and an active lifestyle. Torn strands of different lengths look good even on the second day after washing your hair and do not require special styling.
Or a bob with a leg , which is distinguished by the shortest possible occipital part and lengthening of the strands towards the temples. But don’t risk doing such a haircut if your hair is spinning - styling will turn into a living hell, and the hairstyle will not look aesthetically pleasing.
The classic bob of the 30s of the last century has returned to fashion again. But the “catwalk” option with hair pulled back as far as possible is not suitable for everyone. Feel free to experiment with fuller styles, add a side part to imitate bangs, or try “wet” styles.
Medium haircuts according to face shape
There are 8 face shapes:
- oval,
- round,
- square,
- triangular,
- rectangular,
- pear-shaped,
- diamond-shaped
Determining your face shape is easy. To do this, the hair is pulled back into a ponytail, and the contours of the face in the mirror are outlined with a pencil (cosmetic) that can be washed off the glass. Now you can evaluate the result.
To choose the right hairstyle, let’s look at the types of faces in a little more detail.
Oval
The universal face shape is considered oval, as it suits most hairstyles.
For other face shapes, the haircut is selected in such a way that the hairstyle tends to give the face an oval shape. For example, if your cheekbones protrude greatly, then the styling should partially hide them. If the chin is narrow, then at its level the hairstyle should be voluminous in order to visually expand the lower part of the face.
Round
A round face has soft features. The shape itself is not bad, but requires a little adjustment. For this purpose, choose a length to the shoulders or below, that is, below the level of the chin. Haircuts for shoulder-length hair for a round face should visually elongate it.
Asymmetry and unusualness are welcome, provided that the volume is in the upper part of the head, and not at the level of the face.
Square
A square face is characterized by some angularity and widening in the chin area. If volume is created, then only in the area of the crown, in order to visually elongate the face.
Hair should reach your shoulder blades to ensure a lengthening effect. A hairstyle that smooths out sharp corners distracts attention from them. A “ladder” will help to give the desired ovality.
It is better to refrain from bangs, as the face will not be visually lengthened, but shortened.
Triangular
A triangular face is characterized by a long chin, wide cheekbones and a high forehead. The right hairstyles visually add volume to the chin area and cover wide cheekbones.
Thick bangs are allowed.
The most preferred are the square, bob, and ladder.
Rectangular
A rectangular face, like an oval one, has no flaws, so you can choose almost any hairstyle. The ladder looks good.
Other haircuts also look impressive.
Pear-shaped
A massive chin and small forehead are signs of a pear-shaped face. Bangs are contraindicated!
In the area of the wide part of the face, the volume of styling is kept to a minimum.
Diamond-shaped
The face has the greatest volume in the cheekbone area. The shape resembles a round one, but more elongated.
The hairstyle is chosen in such a way as to smooth out angular features.
Capsule extension
Pros: stronger, more durable (it can take up to 3.5 months before the first correction) and less noticeable type of extension. The hair can be thoroughly combed at the roots (unlike a ribbon comb). They can be dyed, braided and complexly styled. And even those who naturally have very thin and sparse hair can do capsule extensions. Cons: this is the longest type of extension (the procedure takes about 2.5 hours). In the first days, there is a slight discomfort and the scalp gets used to it, but after washing the capsules become softer and you forget about them.
“Capsule extensions are also called “Italian” or Euro. So. Cup. Standard volume is 100−150 capsules. This is a hot type of extension, since the donor strands are attached using a keratin capsule (of plant origin), which is heated to a temperature of 200 degrees with special tongs. Depending on whether you are blonde, brunette or brown-haired, the color of the capsules is selected. They can be either colorless (transparent) or dark, so the attachment location will not be easy to notice. By the way, the capsules can withstand high temperatures while drying hair with a hairdryer.
For capsule extensions, you can use hair of any texture - from the thinnest Slavic to silky Asian and coarse Afro. This is the longest-lasting option - from 2 to 3.5 months (it all depends on the individual hair growth rate). What’s especially nice is that hair extensions can be used several times - if you take good care of them: make masks, use balm. Just be prepared for the fact that the length of the donor hair will decrease by 1 cm (due to correction).
As for removing donor hair, this process is also absolutely safe, as it is performed with a special liquid that is harmless to the hair and scalp and tongs for removing hot extensions. The liquid is dripped onto the place where the hair is attached and the keratin capsule is softened with these same tongs, and then the previously grown strand is carefully pulled together without the use of force.”
From the observations of professionals: light (blond) hair wears out a little faster than dark and light brown hair. But this only means that you will have to change them more often.
General recommendations for caring for hair extensions:
You should be pleased - they are practically no different from ordinary ones. You can continue to go to the solarium, sauna, swimming pool and swim in salt water without a cap. Hair extensions are natural, they will deteriorate just like your own, therefore:
... you need to wash your hair thoroughly, but throwing your hair forward is not recommended. We do not recommend using special shampoos and conditioners for hair extensions, since most often they contain a large percentage of silicones, which is generally harmful to the hair.
...use masks and balms, just do not apply them to the roots (this rule also applies to “natural” hair) and places where tapes or capsules are attached.
... don't go to bed with a wet head.
... before going to bed, braid your hair in a not very tight braid or put it in a ponytail so that it does not get tangled.

Fashionable haircuts 2021 for long hair
In 2021, hair up to the shoulder blades is considered the maximum acceptable length. And this rule is dictated by practicality: this is the length that can actually be styled at home using a hairdryer and a round brush. If the strands reach the middle of the back, without thinning they look heavy, and often downright unkempt. Therefore, lovers of extra-long natural hair should go to the hairdresser at least once a month.
For girls who like to wear their hair down, the exact opposite of this haircut is suitable - a ladder cut with strands shortened near the face . It allows you to open up your ears and neck, shifting the emphasis from thick hair to makeup and eye color.
If you like minimalism in your life and clothes, try wearing long hair below your shoulder blades with a clear cut . This hairstyle better than others reflects the desire for clarity and specificity, but it truly looks ideal only on thick, healthy hair. If you wish, you can add thick, even bangs along the eyebrows, lengthening them slightly at the temples.
Shoulder length hair: which haircut to choose?
When choosing a haircut for shoulder-length hair, you need to take into account your face shape, hair type and the desired frequency of visiting the salon. Perhaps the main enemy of long beautiful hair is split ends. To update your haircut less often, try not to dry it out and use oils regularly.

This kind of loose styling will suit young girls. It is appropriate, as the name implies, on a date, as well as during walks in a cheerful company of girlfriends.
Quick hairstyle number 3 - ponytail plus braid
If you love tying a ponytail and love traditional braids just as much, this step-by-step instruction is for you:
- Prepare an elastic band that is similar in shade to the color of your hair. Use it to secure a high ponytail after combing all the strands back.
- From the bottom of the ponytail, take a small bunch of hair and weave a simple braid from it. If you know how, you can weave a fishtail.
- Now wrap the braid around the elastic at the base of the ponytail and attach it with a bobby pin.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 with bangs
As you already understand, bangs will be at the peak of popularity throughout 2019. Moreover, you can combine it with almost any haircut in accordance with your face shape and hair type. Stylists don’t particularly favor classic straight bangs, but if desired, even this can be made part of a stylish look.
When choosing a haircut, pay attention to the following variations of bangs:
original shapes (oblique, triangular, heart); with deep thinning; with pronounced sparse strands (Hollywood); very short (to the middle of the forehead); long and uneven, smoothly turning into the hairstyle itself; oblique and well graduated; with torn edges.
Hairstyle options for girls with round and oval faces
The largest selection is available to those with an oval-shaped face, for whom almost everything suits, with the exception of long and thick bangs, as well as strands covering part of the face. Otherwise, you can experiment as much as you like: asymmetrical and straight haircuts, with open and closed ears, with small bangs or without them at all, etc. When the hair is very curly, it makes sense to give preference to hairstyles with a little dishevelment, and it is very important to carefully profile the curls. In turn, if the hair is brittle and long, the optimal solution is a hairstyle in several layers. The best short haircut is a bob with long front strands and a shaved nape.
If your face shape is round, then you need to refrain from hairstyles with hair flattened at the top, long curls and short straight bangs. Hairstyles with strands of different lengths are much more suitable for you, in particular, haircuts with torn edges and asymmetrical bangs.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 for thin hair
It is clear that straightening and depriving volume (as is often done on catwalks) of already not particularly thick hair is a stupid idea. Therefore, in parallel with the fashion for smoothness, there are at least three haircuts and their variations that can visually add volume to thin hair.
The most familiar one for us is a cascade . There is an unspoken rule for him: the shorter the length, the greater the volume. It is achieved through competently executed thinning, after which the strands lie “away from the face”. This haircut also helps combat the main problem of thin hair – dry split ends.
In second place is one of the variants of the American “swag” haircut - with dense bangs and a layered graduated structure to create the effect of thick, healthy hair or shaved temples.
Bob, in its various variations, has also been in the top for more than one season. It is indispensable due to the fact that virtually the same haircut can be styled in different ways, imitating bangs, curling curls, creating extra volume using corrugations.
Also popular is a short torn bob , the careless styling of which creates additional volume and focuses attention on the eyes.
A universal haircut is an elongated bob with asymmetrical bangs , which suits any face shape. And thinning adds airiness, correcting naturally thin hair.
Another option is an A-shape bob with a short crown and long strands near the face. It looks especially impressive in tandem with “sunny” coloring techniques that create the effect of highlights on the hair - balayage, shatush, splashlights, babylights, Venetian highlighting.
Classic haircuts
Caring for long hair is a troublesome task, but it does not lose its popularity among women of any age. It is customary to grow strong and healthy curls to their maximum length. Hair that reaches the shoulder blades can be called the golden mean. It is not so difficult to maintain (moisturize, comb, style), but it gives room for experimentation. When choosing a haircut for shoulder blades, you need to consider factors such as:
Ladder
The “Ladder” haircut allows you to add femininity and lightness to your image. It smooths out existing imperfections - hides excessively large ears, corrects the oval of the face and makes it proportional, and goes with any bangs. With this haircut it is easy to create different hairstyles, in addition, in itself it looks like a ready-made hairstyle, suitable for any event.
For Lesenka, the structure of the hair is important: it adds volume to thin hair, and removes it from thick hair. But on curly hair the contours of the cascade are lost. The optimal solution for a haircut is hair below the shoulders - to the shoulder blades. On such hair, you can get rid of excess length, for example, by cutting off damaged hair, but do not lose it all. The ladder can renew damaged curls and bring them back to life.
The Ladder cutting technology is as follows:
Cascade
One of the varieties of Ladder (sometimes these haircuts are identified), the peculiarity of which is the alternation of strands of different lengths. The short curls are located on the top of the head, and the longest ones are located at the bottom of the back of the head. Uneven hair removes excess severity, the hairstyle looks light, while adding volume. The ends can be given a torn look. But Cascade will not decorate tired, lifeless hair; before you get a haircut, you need to take care of its health.
Despite the apparent complexity of the haircut, it can be done at home - you don’t have to go to the hairdresser. Scheme for working on a hairstyle:
“Bob” is a variation of the classic bob - a fashionable haircut suitable for long hair. In the past, the hairstyle was done very simply: the hair was cut at a certain level in one line. But over time, Bob acquired new features and forms, haircut technology and accents changed. The hairstyle is done asymmetrically, in layers (graduated bob), with or without bangs.
Bob is ideal for long hair, especially for women with a round face, which the haircut lengthens. There are several models of this haircut for hair up to the shoulder blades:
Asymmetrical
An asymmetrical haircut will help to add mystery and sexuality to the image, hide imperfections and create a bright look. She is able to rejuvenate her owner and attract attention. Any version of classic hairstyles (ladder, bob, bob, etc.), diluted with asymmetry, even a small one, is a good example of modernizing the image. If the hair is dark or rich in shades, this haircut gives a special charm.
An uneven bob leaves the ears open, leaving the bulk of the hair at the back of the head. Most often, a cascading haircut is chosen to perform it. The difference in transitions can be small, or can reach 10-12 cm. All transitions must be made smoothly. Therefore, the creation of such an image is trusted to professionals. The options for asymmetrical hairstyles and the technique for performing them are as follows:
Step-by-step algorithm of actions
So, let's look at the curling process in more detail using different hairdressing tools:
- curling with a curling iron. The principle of styling with curls is quite simple and universal for all types of curling irons - from traditional to conical. A strand of hair is grabbed with pliers at its end, wound onto the surface of the tool, held for up to 20 seconds, then opened, carefully removing the curl. ATTENTION! Before curling your curling iron, carefully read the instructions for the device. It should clearly state how long you can keep the curling iron on your hair. You cannot exceed this time, otherwise you risk simply burning your hair.
- Curling curls with curlers. Another classic styling method. Dry strands of hair are rolled into curlers and left for several hours (preferably overnight). If you need faster results, you can use modern hot rollers.
- Curling with a hair straightener. Quite a non-standard way of curling. To create wavy curls, take your hair one strand at a time, use a straightener to hold it at the base and apply pressure to the end of the strand.
Which of these methods to choose is up to you. Try each of them and decide which one is more convenient for you.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 for curly hair
If earlier you spent an hour with a straightening iron in your hands, straightening out unruly locks for the sake of fashion, then in 2021, natural waves and curls, on the contrary, are at the peak of popularity. Naturally wavy hair is the easiest to style into extremely voluminous styles without any special worries.
Therefore, you can choose almost any haircut from pixie to ladder . The only thing you should avoid is a bob with a leg, and to create an elongated version of this hairstyle, carefully select the length and shape to avoid a “house” on your head.
But the best length for curly hair is medium length, which will help reveal all its beauty. You can profile the ends near the face to avoid excessive heaviness, and then style your hair as you want - both voluminous curls and simply loose strands raised at the roots will do.
Suitable medium length haircuts for your hair type
The structure of the hair affects the shape of the hairstyle, emphasizes originality, or, conversely, makes it expressionless and heavy.
Thick and heavy hair
Thick, healthy curls are a woman’s pride; they emphasize beauty and femininity. But there is also a drawback - such hair does not hold its shape well and is difficult to arrange. Haircuts for thick straight hair:
Thin hair
Rare thin curls require not only careful care, but also the right choice of hairstyle that will add the missing volume:
Curly hair
Curly curls are mysterious, romantic, feminine. Don't fight frizz. It is enough to give the hair a suitable shape and slightly adjust it. For curly girls, haircuts are selected using gradation, asymmetry, and oblique bangs:
It is not recommended to apply excessive amounts of styling products (foam, mousse, hairspray) - they can weigh down the hair and deprive it of volume and naturalness.
Styling products
When choosing styling products, focus, first of all, on the goal that you set for yourself. Today there are a lot of beauty products on sale, designed for different types of styling.
- If you like messy beach curls, there are special sea salt-based sprays for them.
- For light and soft waves, products with a weightless texture are suitable - light mousses and foams.
- Evening styling requires products with stronger hold. To create such hairstyles, you can use hair gels, waxes and powders.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 for round faces
If cute cheeks don't make you happy, just change your hairstyle! You can’t argue with nature, but after visiting a skilled hair stylist, you can rejoice at how much more correct and visually oval your face has become.
There is no magic: oblique bangs, maximum volume at the roots, asymmetry and graduated haircuts correct natural “roundness” best, shifting the emphasis from the cheekbones to the chin.
We advise young owners of short hair not to skimp on the length in the temporal and occipital areas, but on the contrary, add volume and texture to the parietal and crown areas. If a stylish, but too provocative haircut is not suitable for the office, pay attention to thick oblique bangs. They can lengthen the face, but only in combination with minimal volume on the side opposite the bangs.
For medium-length hair, the most advantageous option would be an elongated bob with a side parting (the deeper it is, the better) and soft, elongated bangs.
Owners of long hair will have to correct the situation with graduated haircuts , which will visually add volume to the upper third of the hairstyle, and secure the result with side partings and elongated, uneven bangs laid to the side.
How to paint?
The color scheme will highlight any haircut of a modern woman, because you need to live with the times.
First of all, the owner of the hair should like the coloring. If it is highly desirable to take into account the nuances of the chosen hairstyle when cutting and styling, then any of the more natural colors will emphasize the haircut itself.
Unique methods and techniques of coloring allow you to achieve a masterpiece effect, taking off several or even a dozen (and a dozen) years. Single-color dyeing, as well as a smooth transition of color from the ends of the hair to the roots, allows you to achieve a sharp contrast, flaunting both the execution and the created structure of a woman's hairstyle.
It is not necessary to make your hair straight - you can curl your hair the way you like, choosing the best option for yourself. And it doesn’t matter how smooth or, conversely, how frequent the waviness of the curls is - with a successful combination, it will emphasize the uniqueness of the graceful female image.
Whatever the hairstyle for medium and straight hair, it should be easy to cut, style and color.
The most valuable human resource is time, so it’s unlikely that any modern girl will engage in a marathon that takes several hours.
Next, watch a master class on how to perform a straight haircut for medium-length hair.

Interesting hairstyles with a donut
The most collected hairstyles from long hair can be achieved using a special voluminous donut elastic band.
Even with this basic device for realizing hairdressing ideas, you can create a lot of styling options.
Prepare the following accessories for experimenting with a hairdressing bagel:
- a pair of combs: a brush and a comb with sparse teeth;
- thin elastic bands;
- hairpins and bobby pins;
- purchased bagel (you can replace it with a rolled up cut sock);
- elements of additional decor to choose from: bows, ribbons, false braids and headbands;
- hairspray with medium hold.
When everything is ready, let's start mastering hairstyles with a donut.
Retro bundle
It will take no more than 5 minutes.
- Let's comb our hair thoroughly.
- We tie the hair collected high at the back of the head with a thin elastic band.
- We put a thicker elastic band on top - a donut. Distribute all curls evenly over the roller.
- We repeat the familiar action again - put a second thin elastic band on top.
- We wrap the remaining loose strands at the base of the bun and secure with a hairpin.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 for oval faces
An oval or slightly elongated face is an ideal shape that should not be corrected, but emphasized. Bangs, partings, and perfectly straight hair are suitable for this, so you can experiment at least every day.
It’s worth starting with bangs: the trend is both the classic straight one, divided in the center, and the combination “short bangs - long hair” . If your face is slightly elongated, try wearing long straight bangs below the temples and a ladder cut to straighten the oval and add harmony to the image.
The second bright trend is straight, absolutely devoid of volume hair, parted in the middle . Moreover, the ends must be trimmed perfectly evenly, regardless of the length.
In general, girls with the standard oval face can choose any haircut – from an extravagant pixie to extremely long hair.
Haircuts for shoulder length curly hair
It’s great that now not only straight hair, possibly ironed, is in fashion, but also curly hair. Of course, bob, bob, cascading and layered shapes look very good on shoulder-length curls - an ideal basis for experimenting with haircuts. Plus, they grow back unnoticed, allowing the curls to lay down beautifully and distribute the volume evenly. If you like bangs, then a small number of short strands will create an imitation of it. But it is not recommended to “get” full bangs for owners of curly hair.
Bun with a bagel - video
Bun with twisted strands
It will require a little more time and effort.
- We will divide the combed hair in two with a horizontal parting, that is, we will leave a thick bang of long hair in front.
- We tie the back part with a thin elastic band into a low ponytail, and put a donut on top. Distribute all the hair over the roller and secure it on top with a thin elastic band.
- We throw the remaining elongated bangs to the side and divide them into 3 equal strands.
- Then, one by one, we twist the thin curls into bundles and secure them with bobby pins at the base of the bun.
- A layer of varnish will fix the original evening styling.
Alternative way to use a bagel
Let's explore it together:
- Prepare a very high ponytail on your head.
- Raise the hair up and secure the ends in the center of the donut.
- Slowly and carefully turn the roller out until it is at the very base of the tail.
- Using your fingers, straighten the strands unevenly distributed along the roller.
- We secure the installation with pins and varnish.
Fashionable haircuts 2021 for square faces
The main goal of women with a square face is to remove the emphasis from a high forehead and “heavy” chin, visually rounding the proportions. Bangs, graduated strands, curls and uneven partings are best suited for this. They add softness and volume, hiding a sharply defined forehead and wide-set cheekbones. But straight partings and perfectly straight hair, on the contrary, are best avoided.
For girls with short hair, a bob or bob , but only in combination with straight or oblique bangs, and for long hair, choose those haircuts that will create maximum volume on the sides, for example, a cascade .
We are sure: the variety of fashionable haircuts in 2021 makes it possible to choose the one that best suits your face. The main thing is, do not trust your hairstyle to an untested hairdresser - the time for hats to hide “hairdressing misunderstandings” is already over!
Look for those with triangular and pear-shaped faces
Those women who have a triangular-shaped face should be wary of strands combed to the back of the head and neck-length haircuts. It is also not recommended to choose voluminous hairstyles in the temple area and with a lush crown. Instead, we recommend a side-parted hairstyle with curls going down the sides.
If, after determining the shape of your face, it turns out that it resembles a pear, you should not despair. For such girls, wonderful multi-layered haircuts and hairstyles with a forehead covered with bangs have been invented. By creating maximum volume in the chin area, you will be able to hide the excess width of your neck and enlarge the upper part of your face.
