By hair type
For all young ladies with thin hair, the hairstyle will add volume. The haircut must be done at right angles. Highlights on dark hair will provide the visibility of the missing volume. Young ladies with thick hair are advised to choose an unusual haircut option. Volume and softening of the hairstyle is achieved through thinning and coloring.
The Gavroche haircut is ideal for women with medium hair length. Strands of different lengths are often left on the back of the head, and torn shreds in the front. It is recommended to arrange a triangular or oblique bangs. There are 3 types of suitable haircuts for medium length hair:

- apply a small amount of mousse, gel or foam to the hair;
- turn the curls with your hands;
- each bundle must be wound onto a brush and dried well;
- you can swap the location of some strands;

Instructions for implementation
The technology of the standard haircut "Gavroche" is rarely used. As a rule, the master does not adhere to templates and creates different lengths, taking into account the peculiarities of the client's hair and face.
But still there is an instructional flow chart that serves as the basis for a haircut:
1. On clean and wet strands, the hair is distributed into zones:
- the crown is going up and stabbed with clamps;
- in front, two temporal areas and one parietal are formed;
- the bangs area is highlighted;
- the back of the head is prepared for the first stage of the haircut - the curls are combed and aligned along the entire length.
2. Further, the curls on the back of the head are cut, as in a classic haircut. Edging is required. If the strands are thick, they need to be profiled.
3. The subsequent haircut scheme includes cutting the curls by zones. In this case, each strand is pulled to the face and is 1 cm shorter than the previous one. The direction of the haircut is from the back of the head to the front.
As a rule, all hair is trimmed with thinning scissors. Only the bottom layer is sheared with straight blades. Thus, different types of gavroche are created - from classic to avant-garde.
