Types of haircuts “fox tail” for short, medium, long hair (with photo, video)
Ladders, cascades, two lengths… All these ideas have long been tried and banal.
Just a couple of years ago, an innovative solution appeared – a fox tail haircut, this hairstyle cannot yet be called common or boring, so feel free to be inspired by this spectacular and non-standard idea.
Long version with bangs
The hairstyle got its name for a reason – at the back, the ends of the loose hair resemble the fluffy tail of an animal in shape.
The thing is that the ends of the hair are cut in the shape of the letter V, so this hairstyle is also called a triangle:
The sharper the top of the triangle, the more spectacular the hairstyle looks, so the best base for a fox tail will be waist-length or lower hair.
But on short hair longer than the shoulder blades, such a hairstyle will not work.
In the photo – a fox tail haircut for long hair with bangs, the latter can be of any shape and length, because the shape of the cut of the ends of a long hair does not affect the near-facial area:
A variety of bangs will help you adjust the shape of your face, hide full cheeks, a high forehead or protruding cheekbones.
The tip of the "tail" should be absolutely symmetrical, so before cutting, immediately think about where you will wear the parting:
If you cut the ends, dividing the hair with a straight parting in the center of the crown, and then throwing the curls to the side, all the charm and harmony of the fox tail will come to naught.
On the video – a fox tail haircut for long hair straightened with an iron, the cut looks perfectly even and clear:
But even on curly hair, such a hairstyle is appropriate, however, the cut should be made as pointed as possible.
The only reason why you should abandon a fashionable haircut is very rare curls.
By cutting the corner, you make your hair even more sparse in appearance. On lush hair, the tail looks very impressive, the haircut allows you to save the length, while adding zest to your image.
"Fox tail" for short hair and cascade
The haircut of a fox tail for medium hair is not much different from the hairstyle described above – the photo shows that the hair covering the shoulder blades is quite suitable for creating a fashionable haircut:
Of course, it will not be possible to make an angle that is too sharp, but the letter V turns out to be quite clear and visual. How to be the owners of short hair like a bob or cascade?
In the photo – a fox tail haircut for short hair, which was previously supplemented with extended strands:
You can only grow those strands that do not have enough length to create a corner. In this case, you can get by with only the bottom layer, that is, the occipital strands, and leave the crown strands shortened.
Regardless of the length of the hair, the corner can be made in even, clear cuts or, for example, profiled.
An even cut is suitable in the case of straight hair that is not prone to natural frizz, as well as if you straighten the strands daily with an iron.
If the ends of the hair tend to curl slightly or turn out in different directions, it is better to profile the edges.
Curly hair needs to be fully straightened and then trimmed for perfect styling.
In the photo – types of haircuts fox tail cascade, this solution is ideal for slightly curly hair, as well as for very lush hair:
The cascade can be cut along the entire length or only at the bottom.
If you plan to wear a variety of hairstyles like buns and braids, try to keep as much of your hair as possible by cascading only at the ends.
By cutting the cascade along the entire length, you will lose the pleasure of experimenting with high hairstyles and significantly reduce the volume of your mop.
