There are many types: from the usual type to hairstyles for long hair. In this case, an elongated bob is suitable for representatives of the classic style, if they want to change something in their image and remain in a fashionable trend.

For girls who love real extreme, there are variations with shaved temples, amber bangs and various ragged lengths.

With a bang

There are many types, for every taste and color.

• Straight bangs - the hair on the crown is gathered into a tourniquet and cut evenly. It will go well with a business style.

On the leg

It is a kind of bob-bob and visually appears as a mushroom on a leg, hence the name. For many seasons, the model has not lost its position of high popularity among the bob-caret options. The peculiarity is that the hair on the back of the head is contrastingly short or even completely shaved.

Suitable for the fair sex who are not afraid to experiment, or for those who decided to stand out and invent something new.

The main difference is the prominent toe and sharp straight lines from it to the chin. Although many believe that this cut should be smooth, the cut can be softened this way.

A square on a leg has both strengths and weaknesses.

The first are:

• suits any appearance;
• increased hair volume;
• ease of installation;
• a haircut rejuvenates, it can be recommended to everyone who wants to throw off a couple of years without resorting to risky beauty injections;
• provides expressiveness to the lady, due to the maximum openness of the neck and face.

The second is considered:

• constant care;
• regularly need to keep fit;
• to complete it, a professional master is needed who will correctly select the shape of the haircut based on the oval of the face and the structure of the hair.

The model is very fond of stylists, as it gives complete freedom of creativity and skill, every season there are new variations of the square on the leg.

1. With lengthening. It differs from the classics in that the front curls are lengthened.
2. Shortened. They choose real "informal persons", since the back of the head is removed as high as possible.
3. Graduated. Suitable for those who need extra volume for their hair. It will look very extravagant when combined with trendy coloring.
4. Asymmetric model is that the hair is longer on one side than on the other.

Graded

A similar type of haircut is obtained by the fact that the hair is collected in vertical stripes and cut with straight and obtuse angles, thus, at the end of the work, the hair looks like a cascade, one strand is obtained at a distance of 1 or 2 mm from the other. Creates additional volume for fine and oily hair.

Owners of split ends or damaged curls will not work, as it will emphasize all the shortcomings.

And for thick hair, not all models are good either. For them, an alternative option would be a multi-layer model.

When creating a graduated square with lengthening, great attention should be paid to the bangs, since if you choose it incorrectly, you can spoil the impression of the whole image:

• for round and square faces fit oblique variations;
• for oval bangs of any length and density will be good.

Bob ball

Styling that will attract the attention of others. There is nothing complicated in the technology of creation. Clear and even cuts of the strands are carried out in a circle. One gets the impression that a hemisphere was put on the girl's head. The precise borders of the hairstyle frame the head, including the forehead area. The bangs merge with other curls and become an integral part of the hairstyle.

Suitable only for owners of straight and thick hair. Only a heavy canvas is able to acquire and maintain this shape.

Bob-car with extension for long thin hair

A haircut like this is a great option for fine and weak hair. With the help of torn strands, light disheveledness and a wide amplitude of hair length from the back of the head to the face, a good volume is created and such a hairstyle looks stylish and fashionable.

With an angle and oblique bangs

1. This type of square is recommended for girls with a fine hair structure. The angle of the hairstyle can be different and depends on the preferences of the woman;
2. In an acute angle, the hair in the back is cut short and the front strands can reach the collarbones.
3. At a right angle, the hairstyle is similar to the classic square, only the front strands are slightly lowered.

This type of square, together with long, oblique bangs, will emphasize the peculiarity of the haircut, enhance the effect that is created through sharp lines and visually lengthen the shape of the face. To keep your styled hairstyle attractive longer, you should buy a large round brush (brushing). It allows you to twist the front ends of the strand inward.

Long bob for short hair

This type of hairstyle is very similar to the classic version, only the bangs are missing. Parting in the center and long front strands will allow you to hide a large chin and rough cheekbone lines, i.e. those features that are characteristic of girls with a square type of face.

Owners of an oval face and straight hair can curl the front long curls both inward and outward.

This will give a special charm to the hairstyle. And ladies with wavy hair do not have to worry about styling at all, since nature itself will take care of it. Owners of too curly hair should make the bob longer, otherwise the strands will look short and the elongated bob will not be noticeable. Graduation will give such hair health and freshness.

Asymmetrical

This haircut is only possible on straight hair. This bob differs from others in that it has an asymmetric length of strands: on the right - a bob haircut, on the left - the usual length.

The haircut can be offset in the center, which allows you to correct the shape of the face and hide possible flaws. On even curls, the cuts are precise and clear. On wavy and thin curls, light graduation is performed.

What type of face is an elongated bob square fit?

This is a haircut that can beautify any woman, but at the same time it must be performed properly. An elongated square is a good solution for the fair sex with different face types. With the help of proper styling and curling, the specialist will be able to correct facial defects, as well as highlight its beneficial sides.

For a round face

It is more difficult for ladies with a round face to find the perfect hairstyle. An elongated bob will help to slightly stretch the face and smooth the cheeks. The strands should be laid in such a way that the lower face area visually looks heavier, and the face shape itself is slightly elongated. A straight parting in this case is undesirable, but a side parting is just right.

The ends of the strands, twisted inward, only emphasize the roundness of the face, so the hair should be straight or twisted outward.

For an oval face

Such girls are more fortunate, they have no flaws, so any elongated square will look great. In this regard, ladies, whose face shape resembles an oval, can choose an elegant square for themselves, relying on fashion trends and their own preferences. Straight, curly and torn curls are fashionable today.

The bangs can also be any: shortened, long, the option without bangs is possible. The latter will allow you to emphasize a beautiful forehead and chin. The elongated strands in the front will help to highlight and show off the cheekbones and lips.

For a square face

A voluminous square is suitable for the owners of this face shape. A ladder and an asymmetrical haircut will soften the corners and make them less visible. Fine and short hair does not need to be graduated, as the ends of the strand will look thin.

Curly hair is a lifesaver for women with a wide face and double chin. They themselves will create the desired volume and, falling on the face, smooth the corners.Dreaming of a bang, you should not make it straight and voluminous.

Haircut technique

Many novice hairdressers may be interested in the question of performing a haircut. And, really, how to cut a bob square? The hairstyle technology depends on the characteristics of the chosen model. It is always performed only on clean and moisturized hair.

Here are a few basic steps in the classic haircut technique.

1. We divide the hair into partings: the anterior parietal part - into a U-shaped one, the occipital part - into a vertical one. We twist each part into separate bundles and pin them with hairpins.
2. We start cutting from the bottom of the neck. To do this, you need to select a horizontal row and make its edging. The height of the row depends on the desired length. As a rule, it is 1.5-2 cm.
3. Now select the first strand, pull it back and cut it at an angle of 45 degrees. This is the control strand.
4. By the same principle, we pull out the remaining vertical sections and cut strand by strand. We make a cut at an angle, without touching the edging, otherwise the haircut may lose its shape.
5. Now cut the corner to emphasize the line of the cheekbones. The length of the front strands is not limited, the cut angle is at the request of the client.

Styling a bob square for long hair

Thanks to the versatility and multifunctionality of the bob-caret, a girl can look different every day.

So that styling does not seem like a nightmare to you, you should immediately get yourself helpers: a hairdryer and tongs, a comb and a round hairbrush, mousse, foam, fixing varnish and clamps with which you can lay individual strands.

After shampooing, be sure to use a balm, the hair will be more manageable, easy to comb and easy to style.

Laying methods:

1. A strict version of the bob-caret. With the help of a smoothing gel and an iron, we create perfectly smooth and shiny strands, the ends can be directed inward.
2. Youth option for styling a bob-caret for long hair. Apply foam or mousse to wet hair, divide it into two parts using a side parting and dry it with a hairdryer. Smooth and inward-directed strands will create a casual look.
3. Romantic image. Using round tongs or curlers, you can create curls of different sizes and diameters. Using the clips, curl the curls one by one and (if necessary) fix with varnish.
4. Bean-based tuft. Using a parting from ear to ear, we divide the hair into two parts. We fix the upper part in a bundle with pins. Twist the rest of the strands with tongs and ruffle a little.
5. Styled back bob-bob for long hair. Apply foam to damp hair and distribute over the entire length. Dry with a round brush, combing each strand back. At the end we fix it with varnish.

How to choose?

As mentioned earlier, the model is as diverse as possible and suits everyone. But there are several nuances that you need to consider:

• hair structure;
• the appearance of a woman.

Those choosing such a hairstyle should have medium-sized hair in terms of density, and it is good if they are a little frizzy.

When forming it, you do not need to make even edges. It is good if there are many curls of different lengths, the irregular volume of which can be emphasized by highlighting. Thinner hair looks good with oblique bangs, or they must be lifted from the roots and combed when styling, securing with varnish.

Curly long curls require very long styling, which can be time-consuming, so a bob square can solve this issue.

Thanks to the graduation, the strands look casual and are the hit of the season for long hair.

For a thick curly head, a straight square will be ideal. And if you add foam or wax, then the styling will look more neat.

This type has difficulties with the choice of bangs. It is recommended to straighten it, then you get a trendy effect of the ratio of curly and straight textures.

Woman's appearance

To determine which type of square is suitable for the owner of the head of hair, you need to look at her appearance and draw certain conclusions:

• oval and facial features;
• neck contour;
• weight.

A haircut with bangs bent inward softens the angle of the triangular type. It's good when the girl has a thick mane, and the length must be chosen below the chin.

The graded look frames the round face well. At the same time, a cascade of hair of different lengths passes from the crown of the head to thin strands at the bottom, thereby evens out the roundness, making its shape visually elongated.

The heavy square shape is smoothed out by an elongated square. It is better not to do a short length here. An uneven cut of the bangs with a side parting will add showiness here.

For oval faces, all types are suitable, depending on what goal does the lady set when choosing:

1. if you need an accent on the lips, then the bob square should be elongated;
2. make expressive eyes - a short torn bangs will do;
3. for ideal facial features, you can choose any desired length;
4. an overly elongated face will hide an even top cut.

Deficiencies or flaws in appearance can be corrected and played up in many ways, you just need to deliberately decide which ones.

• The wide face is lengthened with elongated strands curled inward. In the same way, too prominent cheekbones are hidden.
• You can soften large features with asymmetry, torn bangs and straight, strict lines.
• For a sharp nose or chin, gentle flowing lines of curls are suitable. This combination and softness balance the sharp edges.
• For girls with small features, a model with a leg would be an ideal solution.
• A very long neck can be leveled with a length that does not reach the shoulders.
• A high, ugly forehead can be hidden under the torn parts of the profiled bangs.
• The bob-bob shape requires an open neck, therefore, if a lady has an ugly shape or a very short neck, it is better not to have a haircut. The same applies to those who are overweight; a thick fold on the neck must be hidden as much as possible.
