It was just that once the haircut was not done quite evenly, they tried to style it more decently, but it turned out unexpectedly gorgeous. That's why square still does not go out of fashion. But he is already over 100 years old! It's just that every season stylists come up with cool new ways to design it. For example, an asymmetrical cut can be styled differently all seven days a week!

What is it like
Everyone knows what the standard looks like cascade? Now imagine that it was paired with a classic square. The occipital part is usually trimmed in tiers, shorter than the front strands. And they, in turn, often have an elongated appearance. The entire contour is cut in steps, with teeth, without observing even cuts. The hair is leveled consistently, from the lower part, which is longer, to the upper part, the curls of which are always shorter. This is how a stepped haircut is obtained, in the general form of which the usual square is guessed, but with a cascade pattern.
Take a look at the video of what this hairstyle looks like, as well as the current trend options for its presentation:
It can be short and medium, and even up to the shoulder blades. There are no exact rules or frameworks. Each master is guided by the structure of the shock, its condition, health and density. Contours can be asymmetrical or uniform. Torn, flat, overgrown or short is welcome bangs... But it is optional.
Advice! To accentuate the sharpness of the tips, feathers or ladder, be sure to use modeling tools. For example, the gel forms strands and fixes them in the desired direction. And wax removes disheveled, fluffy, pulls curls.
Each hairdresser starts from his own sense of style and proportions. He chooses the best graduation angle, the number of layers, and the way the front side is designed. At the request of the client, he will comply with the required size, but he will certainly recommend the best option.
Advantages over the classics
Classic is an unconditional trend that will never lose its relevance. She, like a strict aunt, enjoys unconditional authority, and always demands the preservation of her demands. But he allows his beloved nephews to play pranks sometimes. This is how a square on a leg, graduation, asymmetry, bob and other variations were born.
Let's take a closer look at the advantages of milled filing:
- The ability to change the shape, thereby selecting the optimal shape for the oval of the face.
- Creativity, originality, uncommonness.
- A way to change, even every day.
- A spectacular look both in everyday life and for festive occasions.
- No age or other restrictions. A variety of shapes allows you to choose the best one for every woman.
On a note! Ideas with symmetrical lush styling are more suitable for adult ladies. Bangs will hide wrinkles on the forehead, and small strands framing the face will distract attention from imperfect skin. Well, the volume on the top of the head will create a well-groomed and stylish bow.
A few words about the shortcomings
Unfortunately, they are also present, but only slightly.
- You only need to trust your head to an experienced professional who has a good reputation. It is important not to be disappointed after the procedure. After all, the hairstyle has many nuances that must be taken into account.
- Please note that for a square type of face, designs where the main volume is based on the crown are unacceptable. This will make the outline even heavier. Triangular features require pomp at the back of the head. And chubby young ladies should not have an ultra-short haircut.
- Get ready for everyday styling with hair dryers, brushes and irons. The option "dry it and go" will not work here. You will at least seem sloppy.
- Every 1-2 months, depending on the intensity of hair growth, you will need a correction. The update will keep the look bright and fresh.
- Unfortunately, the idea is not suitable for wavy and naturally curly hair. The curly structure will not allow you to emphasize the torn contour. The mop will have to be straightened regularly with an iron, and this will take a lot of time. And not very useful either.
Longer options
They vary depending on the style. Medium length allows creativity and experimentation. This styling looks cool with an overgrown bang. Consider the techniques that masters use when creating such haircuts:
- Contrast effect between elongated anterolateral curls and sharply shortened occipital curls. The style reminds bob... It looks good on straight and slightly wavy strands.
- An extraordinary posterior lengthening is obtained when the facial curls are not long, reaching the chin. And the back of the heap descends by steps onto the back.
- Option without bangs with a clear straight parting and perfectly even, glossy hairs. The length is the same along the entire diameter, the ends are milled, creating the effect of a fence.
- How about a long, graduated square? The hair below the shoulders is cut along the line of the square, observing the principle of lengthening in the front and shortening in the back. The ends are strongly milled, the area from the middle of the neck down is cascaded. It turns out very effectively, especially on thick, healthy locks.
- To emphasize the thinning will help the contrasting highlighting with the color of the ends. For example, they can be darkened, strongly lightened, or accentuated with an extravagant color. Neon, blue, pink are in fashion today.
Shortened examples
A short and disheveled hairstyle is incredible for fragile girls with a boyish figure. But this does not mean that everyone else goes on. It is worth adding smoothness and symmetry to the image - and even mature ladies can safely boast of a cropped bob with profiled strands. The hooligan style immediately becomes sophisticated, and it is combined with shabby jeans, and with evening dress.
On a note! The advantage of short styling is that there is no need to have a thick and voluminous hair. It is also easier to deal with after washing.
In such a bob, the back of the head is cut in steps, completely exposing the neck and the line of the occipital cut. But the strands at the face and on the side remain elongated, approximately to the middle of the cheekbones. They frame the face, create a hat on the top of the head. Graceful layering is obtained due to the shaped ends of unequal length, which fit at the request of the hostess. The strands behind and on the parietal zone are sheared in cascade, forming vertical tiers.
With a bang
She can highlight any hairstyle favorably. She hides the imperfections of the oval, models the features, accentuates the haircut. It can be shortened, overgrown, up to the eyebrow line. The cut can be made straight, asymmetrical. By the way, the bangs are also milled, cutting in layers. We propose to study in detail the nuances associated with the bangs in the haircut in question:
- Consider that the shorter it is, the narrower the circle of ladies to whom it suits.
An overgrown bang, which suits almost everyone, is considered optimal. It is stabbed back, laid obliquely, distributed on the sides. - Does your haircut have a parting? It is desirable that the bangs are in harmony with it. For example, it was divided into two parts from its extreme point.
- Asymmetric bangs below the eyebrow line, fits perfectly into the silhouette of a square with graduation.
- A feature of the profiled square is its assistance in modeling a beautiful oval. When performing, the master himself adjusts the additional cap in the occipital, parietal zone, or along the lines of the cheekbones.
With highlights
Any head design idea looks more impressive if it is additionally accentuated with color. Bright and fresh colors attract attention, emphasize femininity and attractiveness. Neon shades are in vogue today. Cold gamut welcomed in the palette of blond and dark tones. Metallic notes emphasize the creativity of the design, its originality, modernity.
It is not necessary to paint the entire surface. Make it trendy highlightingby choosing the optimal type of equipment. Diagonal highlighting, as well as Hollywood, ombre or eccentric, with the use of multi-colored shades, will perfectly fit on such a haircut.
Please note that the same procedure can be performed in different ways. Choose thin or wide strands. Often and rarely on the surface. Maintaining symmetry or not caring about it at all. It is also in fashion to colorize with several colors close to each other. This makes it possible to obtain additional volume, layering.
Choose rich, rich shades. This will keep your hair looking healthy, shiny and irresistible.
How to stack
The styling method depends on the shape of the haircut, its length, and the structure of the curls. The main thing is not to be lazy to regularly use a hairdryer and a comb. An unloaded head will look like a "nest", untidy and shapeless.
A shortened bob bob looks great if the lateral and temporal locks are pulled out and left straight, slightly lifting at the roots. But on the back of your head and crown, arrange chaos and maximum disheveledness.
By the way, nowadays the trend is to mix different styling techniques. Elegant curls are combined with straight strands, fluffy volume with curls slicked along the parting. Well, a careless presentation is an ultra-modern solution for both men and women.
Elongated hairstyles can be styled with a curling iron, tongs, ironing, and curling. Buy yourself a cool thing - a round hair dryer that spins back and forth with cold or hot air. Allows you to perform salon styling, curls curls, straightens perfectly. She is very easy to manipulate.
There is a nuance: choose a brush with natural bristles, it relieves static stress, makes the hair glossy, smooth.
The curls are straightened, the ends are waxed so that they stand out clearly and emphasize the graduation.
You can create root volume, tousle the strands unevenly. Tasteful artistic clutter is great for everyday life.
Don't forget the wet style. The strands are treated with gel, which creates the feeling of a wet mop.
For fat ladies
A big mistake is the belief that chubby young ladies are only average length... They can easily find the perfect short hairstyle if the hairdresser uses the right techniques. He will also advise on the appropriate style. A scalloped bob fits into this category.
Why? It's just that the layering, cascades, teeth around the face, and even multiplied by the A-silhouette of the bob, allow you to divert attention from full cheeks. A beautiful contour opens the neck, making it visually slimmer and taller. Plus, the ragged lines give the look a trendy look. Freely laid out milled strands with the bulk of the top advantageously hide all that is superfluous.
By the way, choose asymmetry. It helps to hide excess weight in the facial area, to highlight the advantages and hide the flaws. And it also becomes the highlight of the image, gives it charm and attractiveness.
Graduated bob is a stylish solution for creating trendy bows. With it, you will always look well-groomed, beautiful. He starts the day with work and ends with a night bar or a movie theater session. Care does not require much time and effort, especially if you use special cosmetics and brushes, irons, curling irons. Do not forget about the rich color that will accentuate the lines and put the final point in the seamless design!
