Graduated haircuts for medium hair: types and selection rules

The appearance of a real lady consists of three things: exquisite makeup, stylish shoes and hair. Today, the trend is graduated haircuts for medium length hair. Women's "layered" hairstyles visually add the desired volume to the hair and look stunning on blondes, brunettes and red "beasts".

The graduation technique is as follows: the master makes a stepped cut of curls at an angle. Thus, the effect of torn strands is obtained. The transition can be smooth or abrupt. Haircuts are created on the basis of thinning strands. The graduation looks especially stylish on medium-length hair. Masters divide the calibration technique into two types: external and internal. The methods for performing haircuts are similar, but the first implies that the outer strands will be shorter than the inner ones and vice versa. In addition, the graduation is performed at different levels of the strands.

The most common option is light thinning of the ends of the strands. "Layering" at the crown is necessary for a thin head of hair. Graduation "from the ears" along the entire length - the choice of ladies with long, straight hair.

• Suitable for hair of different structures. This haircut allows you to make thick hair lighter and more airy.
• Differs in ease of installation. To create a beautiful hairstyle on graduated strands, it is enough just to apply a small amount of gel or wax to the hair and give it the desired shape.
• It is universal. Haircut "steps" is relevant for young girls and mature ladies. Graduation visually "rejuvenates" a woman's face.
• Looks great on straight and wavy hair.
• Includes various staining techniques. Particularly impressively torn strands are combined with streaked or colored curls.
• Helps to solve the problem of split ends.
• Does not require permanent correction (it is enough once every 2-3 months).
• It goes well with different options for bangs (with asymmetry, as well as straight, oblique, elongated).

This will make the torn strands look even thinner. The graduation looks especially ridiculous on "liquid" long curls. Also, a layered haircut should not be created on too curly hair. Otherwise, you risk becoming like a poodle.

In addition to all the advantages listed above, a graduated haircut can perfectly hide imperfect facial proportions. In order to choose the right "torn" hairstyle, pay attention to the following recommendations.

• Chubby young ladies like a graduated hairstyle with a slanting elongated bangs.
• Owners oval the shape of the face is suitable for a layered haircut with or without any bangs. Graduated strands frame the face favorably and help accentuate expressive eyes and lips.
• Too massive cheekbones will help to "brighten" the elongated thick bangs.
• Women with a high forehead a graduated hairstyle with bangs "on the side" is suitable.

As we said, graduated haircuts are quite versatile. But torn curls look especially impressive on medium-length hair. The master, as a rule, begins to cut from the crown of the head and processes the strands along the entire length. Thus, you get a lush and elegant hairstyle without split ends.

Haircut options for medium hair are striking in their variety. These include the following.

Unlike the classic one, the graduated square does not have an even cut. This haircut is characterized by the "steps" lines. The strands visually "overlap" each other. Thus, it turns out that the upper curls are shorter than the lower ones.

An elongated bob with a graduation implies a voluminous crown and torn strands. Filtered front curls frame the face perfectly. The layered bob fits any face shape and looks stunning with or without bangs.

The graduation technique looks perfect on cascading haircuts. With the help of thinning, the hair is laid down in "layers" and looks airy and voluminous. This cascade is ideal for straight and wavy hair.

A torn cascade on dark hair looks just gorgeous.

Such a haircut "in layers" is universal for ladies of any age. The torn strands perfectly frame the oval of the face and correct imperfect proportions and problem areas of the skin.

All of the listed haircut options include to the grunge style. Its distinctive features - slovenliness and naturalness. Graduated haircuts just help to achieve the desired effect.

It is not difficult to create a stylish hairstyle with graduated strands. The shape of the hairstyle allows you to keep the volume without additional styling products. But still, for better fixation, mousse or varnish should always be available.

For everyday styling you will need:

• round hairbrush;
• hairdryer with a nozzle for adding volume;
• clamps;
• styling products (mousse and varnish);
• iron straightener.

Carefully comb clean hair and apply a small amount of foam. With the help of a hair dryer and a round comb, we give a lush volume to the strands (starting at the top of the head). Twist the ends of the curls inward. Straighten the strands of the face and fix the styling with varnish.

For special occasions on torn strands, you can create a "wet effect". To do this, apply a sufficient amount of gel or wax to clean hair. Let the hair dry a little and create “wet curls” with our hands. At the final stage, the installation is fixed with varnish.

Among other things, on torn strands, you can create beautiful "waves" with a curling iron or wind curls on curlers. To create evening styling we take:

• round hairbrush with natural bristles;
• curlers (medium size);
• styling products (mousse and varnish).

We wash my hair and let it dry a little. We comb the hair and wind the strands (all over the head) with curlers. We soak for about half an hour and carefully remove the curlers from the hair. Lightly comb the "waves" and varnish the hairstyle.

Another festive styling for medium hair with graduation will be sloppy bun with strands... So let's get started.

We collect clean hair in a ponytail and fix it with a silicone rubber band. We twist the hair from the ponytail into a tourniquet and "wrap" it around the elastic. We fix the bunch with hairpins and with the help of a thin tip of the comb we pull out thin strands (near the face) on the right and left sides. We fix the styling with varnish.

It is advisable to dry your hair against growth, starting from the side curls and ending with the front strands. Also, do not overuse styling products (gel, mousse and wax). They significantly weigh down the hair, and the "torn effect" is simply lost.
