Asymmetric caret for short, medium, long hair (with photo and video)
If the traditional solution for such a haircut seems too simple and boring to you, try on an asymmetrical bob – 2020 will be the year of fashion for all sorts of asymmetries.
Depending on the condition of your hair, you can make your hairstyle very short or relatively long, as well as complement the image with modern unusual coloring.
Shape your image so that you feel comfortable in it, consider the composition of your wardrobe and the features of your appearance.
One side haircut for a round face
An asymmetrical square on one side for a round face is the best solution, because any asymmetry can disperse the attention of the beholder and prevent him from concentrating on large wide proportions:
That is why full girls are recommended to wear asymmetrical cut clothes – it visually slims.
- By making one side of the haircut longer than the other, you can visually balance the shape of the face.
- Stretch the side strands of the face with an iron or hair dryer so that the vertical lines are clearly visible. So you pull your face up and make it more slender.
- Let the side strands fall over your face, hiding full cheeks, do not put your hair behind your ears.
If you have a perfectly round, but not overweight face, try to remove short strands behind the ear, and partially cover the eyebrow and cheek with long strands on the other side.
An asymmetric bob with oblique bangs is perfect for a round face – the video shows how harmoniously such a solution looks on chubby young ladies:
It is better that the bangs are elongated, and its long edge is located on the side where the side strands are longer.
You can do the opposite – the long end of the bangs will coincide with the short strands near the face, and on the other hand, the short edge of the bangs will contrast with the long strands.
In this case, it is better to profile the strands, thereby facilitating the composition. No need to wrap the ends of the strands under the bottom, so as not to emphasize the roundness of the face.
Use clear cuts, correcting the appearance with the direction of the lines.
You can slightly wrap the ends of the hair on the long side under the bottom, but do not lift the hair at the roots so as not to open the temples and cheeks.
If you want to make curls, style them so that the side strands fall on the cheeks.
You can additionally stretch the face vertically, making a straight parting in the center of the crown.
Asymmetry for a square and rectangular face
The main task of the owners of a square face is to soften the angularity of the features and neutralize the effect of a massive lower jaw.
In no case should the jaw line be emphasized – avoid straight cuts at the level of the chin.
It is better to prefer an asymmetrical bob haircut for medium hair – the photo shows that it is better to lower the cut line on both sides to shoulder level or below:
So you additionally stretch the face vertically, moving away from the shape of the square. Style the front strands lightly on the face, parting at the crown of the head to mask the protruding sections of the lower jaw and add vertical lines to the image.
If you have a rectangular face, you can add bangs to your hairstyle:
Do not make even straight bangs – extra horizontal lines will emphasize the angularity of the face. Wear bangs to the side or carefully mill straight bangs.
Ragged cuts should be avoided, otherwise the hairstyle will seem too rough in combination with the geometry of the face.
You can soften a square or rectangular face with thinning – the image will become more airy and delicate.
For a rectangular face, styling the ends of the hair under the bottom will be successful – this will add rounded lines to the image.
But in the case of a square face, you can further expand it, it is better to add verticals and thin out.
Soft curls and curls are perfect for a square face, with their help you will make facial features more tender.
Cover the lateral parts of the forehead and lower jaw with curls, in the case of a rectangular face, you can remove the side strands behind the ears on one side.
Curling the ends of the hair up is contraindicated – this way you will only expand the line of the chin and make the image rough.
Asymmetric caret for a triangular face
For a face with a narrow, sharp chin and a wide, low forehead, a medium-length bob is suitable.
Position the cut lines at the level of the lower jaw to visually expand this area.
Avoid heavily shaped strands that are close to the cheeks, as this will further narrow the lower part of the face.
An asymmetrical bob haircut with short bangs will not work – the photo shows that a shortened bang further expands the forehead and violates the proportions of the face:
It is better to cover the forehead with thick oblique bangs, but at the same time not too long and slightly profiled.
Lush curls look luxurious in combination with a triangular face:
Curl the strands not from the very roots, but so that the maximum volume is concentrated at the level of the chin.
You can make a side parting and cover the sides of the forehead with strands near the face or hide the forehead under a lightweight bang.
To create curls, use thermal curlers or foam rubber curlers, the curls will be natural and lush.
If you style the ends of your hair under the bottom, try to make the strands voluminous and lift them at the level of the cheekbones.
Soft and rounded lines are recommended for you to correct the angularity and thinness of the face.
Asymmetry for a thin face
To make an elongated thin face more proportional, use horizontal lines.
Make an asymmetrical bob for short hair – the photo will show the most successful options with cuts at the level of the cheekbone on one side and the chin on the other:
Do not be afraid to make the cuts even, so you emphasize the cheekbones and carry out a kind of sculpting of the face. Of course, the hairstyle should be supplemented with appropriate makeup to maintain the visual effect.
A straight thick bang that hides the eyebrows will help to make the face proportional, it will neutralize the excessive height of the forehead.
Do not cut the bangs from the crown, and also do not be zealous with milling strands, such techniques will further stretch the skull up.
Do not be afraid to remove the side strands behind the ears to visually expand the line of the cheeks and temples. Avoid even straight partings, give preference to a diagonal or zigzag parting on the crown.
Lush curls and curls are perfect for a thin face, but the hair on the crown of the head should not be raised unnecessarily. Concentrate the volume on the sides, let the curls be more lush towards the ends of the hair.
If you have curly hair, cut it long.
The curls will jump up, and the ends of the strands will fall just at the level of the cheekbones and cheeks, which will visually embroider the face. For straight hair, very long options will not work, because they will stretch the entire silhouette vertically.
Asymmetry with graduation for a trapezoidal face
Trapezoidal is a face with a wide lower jaw, pronounced cheekbones and a disproportionately narrow low forehead.
The main task for the owners of such a face is to hide the protruding areas in its lower part and open the forehead as much as possible.
Needless to say, an asymmetrical bob with straight bangs will not suit you – this kind of styling will only narrow the upper part of the face and emphasize the imbalance of proportions:
Cut lush voluminous bangs to visually expand and lift your forehead.
On the video – a haircut asymmetrical graduated bob in combination with a trapezoidal face, the front strands hide the sides of the wide lower jaw and visually stretch the face up:
Vertical lines only benefit the trapezoidal shape, curls and curls are also suitable.
Start curling curls from the very roots, creating volume on the crown. If you wind only the ends of the hair, you will only emphasize the imperfect shape of the face.
Asymmetrical bob styling
The advantages of short hair are obvious – you do not need to spend a lot of time on hair care and styling, and the consumption of cosmetics is minimal.
If you have lifeless damaged hair, length is not your forte, give preference to a short haircut with a perfect shape, and asymmetry will be a fashionable bonus.
Responsibly approach the choice of a master who can choose a type of haircut for your face type and make the perfect cut.
Then the hair itself will go in the right direction, you will only need to regularly update your hair at the hairdresser and monitor the condition of the strands.
Often, a bob-car becomes a solution for short lengths – this is a haircut with a raised graduated nape!
This haircut is suitable for owners of rare, but coarse hair, you will get an impressive volume at the crown.
If you have sparse, thin and unruly hair, you can also experiment with a bob-bob, styling it in a special way:
- Apply styling mousse to wet hair
- Part your hair in the front with a side parting.
- Blow dry the front strands, pulling them down and straightening
- Lift the top of your head with brushing
- Dry the hair under the crown and at the back of the head, shaking with your fingers to give it a chaotic, careless shape.
- Set with a low hold hairspray to keep the strands moving.
If you like classic hairstyles, style the ends of your hair under the bottom, relying on a perfectly smooth, shiny surface of your hair. For a change, you can add a haircut with a headband in the style of your dress.
We recommend that lovers of bold experiments think about how to style an asymmetrical bob with a shaved temple, but in fact, this variation of the hairstyle does not need special styling, it always looks spectacular.
The temple is not completely shaved – about 3 mm long hair remains on the side of the shortened side strands.
This trendy hair detail will help you visually shed a few years and demonstrate good taste.
You can shave the temple to the parting itself or just near the ear, then the side strands can hide the shaved area to create a neat, strict look.
Who will suit asymmetry with ombre
If you can boast healthy, shiny hair, don't miss out on growing out your curls.
An asymmetrical square can be not only short, but also of moderate length, for example, up to the chin on one side and below the shoulder on the other. The greater the difference in the length of the front strands on each side, the more interesting and brighter the hairstyle looks.
An exquisite option – the short side is cut with an even cut, and the long side is milled.
An additional contrast of textures brings zest to the image and presents the girl as a bold personality.
An interesting modern version is a haircut with a short nape and long, but different in length, front strands!
At the back, the caret is performed, as in the classic version of such a haircut, and long narrow strands of different lengths remain in front. If such a caret is supplemented with a "tuft" at the crown, you will get a luxurious rock-style youth hairstyle.
You should not guess who will suit an asymmetric bob with an ombre, because unusual coloring will decorate any girl and make her appearance unique.
The average hair length allows you to experiment with a variety of types of multi-color dyeing. The most interesting will be the transverse ombre, in which long strands are made the lightest, and short strands are the darkest.
The average length of the hair allows the presence of bangs of any length and shape. To emphasize the difference in the lengths of the front strands, cut short, straight bangs with an even cut. But oblique bangs are not contraindicated either – it will not only emphasize, but complement and consolidate the effect of asymmetry.
Asymmetrical bob for curls
It is not difficult to make harmonious curls on the basis of an asymmetrical caret, but what if your hair itself curls into chaotic curls?
An asymmetrical bob haircut for curly, curly, wavy hair is quite acceptable if a professional master can give the hair the correct shape:
It is very important to place the maximum amount of curls at the right height so as not to disturb the proportions of the face.
If you have a narrow chin, cut your hair down to the level of your lower jaw to widen it.
If the lower jaw is wide and massive, lift the most magnificent part of the hair above or lower it below the chin.
Usually an asymmetrical bob is cut on the basis of a side parting. In the case of curly hair, you can make a straight parting on the crown, keeping the difference in the lengths of the front strands.
Then the volume of the hair will be approximately the same on each side, you will not have to tame the excess volume from the elongated side of the hairstyle.
In general, taming curly curls with styling products is a great idea.
Apply a light styling gel or mousse to damp hair and dry your hair, periodically brushing down unruly curls with a wide-toothed comb.
Another win-win option is a cascading caret:
The upper strands are cut shorter than the lower ones, due to which the surface of the wavy hair is uniform, the hairstyle acquires a vertical direction.
It is important to resolve the issue with bangs, if your hair curls into small curls from the very roots, it is best to refuse bangs.
Wavy hair that begins to curl at some distance from the roots can be supplemented with thinned oblique bangs.
You can always create temporary bangs from long front curls. Take the longest strand of the entire hairstyle, throw it along the forehead to the opposite side and stab it with an invisibility behind the ear or at the temple.
Asymmetric bob for different color types
Choosing an asymmetrical bob, you are unlikely to collect your hair often, because you want to show a stylish haircut in all its glory.
That is why the shade of the strands is very important – your hair is always in close proximity to the face and is clearly visible.
Do not change your color type, choose the appropriate shade temperature.
If your color type is winter or summer, paint in black, blue-black, brown, ashy, copper cold shades, you can also afford bright colors in the form of blue and purple-red.
Girls with a warm color type of appearance are better off choosing golden and chocolate shades with a warm orange or yellow undertone.
The asymmetrical shape of the haircut looks very harmonious in tandem with uneven asymmetrical coloring.
Complement the elongated side of the front strands with a bright undercoat that will be visible only when moving your head.
You can make contrasting strands that will be visible with the classic styling option, for this the topmost layer should be shortened and carefully profiled.
Highlighting and coloring throughout the hair will help you give your hair extra volume.
Here, too, the rule of color types applies – all the shades present in the hairstyle must be of the same temperature.
If you have a French bob, you can dye only the ends of the strands to emphasize the ragged cut.
On elongated haircuts, types of coloring like balayage or shatush look good, in which the colors smoothly flow into one another and shimmer with head movements.
Asymmetric caret suits both lovers of strict images and young flirtatious girls.
Choose the shape of the bangs, the length of the strands and the type of coloring to make the hairstyle not only fashionable and original, but also harmonious.
