Fox tail haircut: features, pros and cons, recommendations for selection

One of the most interesting haircuts for elongated curls is the "fox tail". For the first time it was presented quite recently, but has already managed to fall in love with millions of modern women of fashion. A hairstyle can be created on a straight and curly mop, smooth and wavy - in any case, the owner of such a hairstyle will look playful, mischievous and very effective.

A characteristic feature of the fashionable fox tail haircut is its visual resemblance to the tail of this beautiful animal - behind the curls are trimmed in the form of a V-shaped toe. Such a heap does not require painstaking styling, it allows you to create the most spectacular hairstyles on the strands. However, even without the use of any styling manipulations, the "chanterelle's tail" looks very stylish.

The fox tail is performed in two basic techniques:

• cascade;
• graduation.

In the first version, the hair is cut with the usual cascade, and the edging is made in the form of a triangle. These options are good for medium to long strands.

In the second scheme, graduation is used, due to which a smooth cut line is formed, while each layer itself is also cut triangular.

Depending on the condition of the curls and the wishes of the woman, the ends are processed in several ways:

• torn strands or thinning - such options are optimal for owners of hard and dense hair;
• hot scissors - this method is good when the hair is split and exfoliated at the ends;
• graduation - optimal for straight, smooth and recalcitrant strands.

Stylists recommend complementing the "fox tail" with stylish coloring or color coloring, especially modern techniques are combined with a haircut, such as:

• ombre;
• balayazh;
• shatush;
• gradient coloring;
• highlighting.

The fox tail haircut has many advantages:

• it gives volume and density to thin and porous strands, makes hair more lush and light;
• curly hair looks more well-groomed;
• has a universal shape, therefore it is suitable for women of absolutely any profession;
• looks great on both young teenage girls and older ladies;
• does not need frequent correction, since during regrowth the shape and volume of the strands are preserved;
• it is considered a good way to grow hair in the presence of damaged and split ends without compromising the length of the head;
• allows you to implement a wide variety of styling;
• looks harmoniously with any type of bangs: straight, torn, asymmetrical or oblique;
• effective both on natural hair and on colored hair;
• the angular shape visually masks some of the flaws in appearance, and also visually makes the woman taller and slimmer.

However, it was not without its drawbacks:

• the haircut looks spectacular exclusively on long hair below shoulder level, on short hair it is not done;
• does not visually rejuvenate a woman, since the original edging is made out only at the back;
• if the haircut was done by an inept master, the situation can be corrected only by a significant loss of length;
• long hair requires constant care, the use of nourishing and moisturizing masks, serums and oils.

Women's haircut "fox tail" invariably looks natural and natural, so this hairstyle is chosen by the fair sex of all ages, social status and professions. The haircut is suitable for faces of any shape, in harmony with bangs, combined with coloring and curling. She is considered a real find for the owner of thin and weak hair, since she makes her curls well-groomed even without styling.

"Chanterelle's tail" is suitable for any type of hair, so it has no restrictions related to the structure of the curls. A haircut can be created both on native strands and on extended tresses, however, the characteristics of the hair affect the choice of work technique:

• on smooth and straightened hair, the triangle is visible quite clearly, here you can use both a cascade and a graduation, depending on the woman's wishes;
• on hard and thick curls, it is worth using all kinds of thinning means, and the processing should be carried out not only at the tips and cut points, but also along the entire length of the shock;
• for brittle, weakened hair that has suffered as a result of unsuccessful perm or frequent dyeing, a multilayer graduation is suitable, which experienced craftsmen perform with hot scissors;
• curly and disobedient strands will come "in shape" if we resort to strong thinning - only in this case it will be possible to achieve a pronounced wedge-shaped toe shape.

Since the triangle on the hair is cut from the back, the hairstyle itself will not be able to visually correct the oval of the face, which cannot be said about the bangs.The fact is that the "fox tail" goes well with bangs of all kinds, so special attention should be paid to its design. After all, it will depend on her how elegant and sophisticated your face will eventually appear.

• So, straight bangs are good for elongated, oblong ovals.
• Oblique allows you to balance the proportions of square and rectangular faces. As a rule, it is done on straight and smooth hair, because with a curly mop, it very quickly begins to shaggy, reaches into the eyes and causes significant discomfort to its owners. If desired, thinning can be done on the oblique bangs - this option will be lighter and more airy.
• Graduated bangs are suitable for round and square faces; they soften sharp features and visually make the face look younger and fit.
• Torn bangs look very impressive, it can be used for all types of faces, except for a triangular one, since in the latter case it does not hide sharp lines, but, on the contrary, emphasizes them even more.
• Asymmetric and curly bangs are not recommended for the "chanterelle tail", since then there will be too many accents, they will distract attention from the haircut as a whole and thereby emphasize all defects in appearance.

Haircut "fox tail" allows you to create at home any spectacular styling on the head, the only obstacle here can be strands knocked out of the hairstyle, so they should be properly taken care of.

If you intend to collect a classic tail on your head, it will not be easy to grab all the strands near the crown, here you need to make sure that the curls do not stick out in different directions. To get a more neat hairstyle, you need to use the most common hair dryer. The hair near the base should be fluffed up a little, and then the design of a spectacular tail will not give you any trouble.

The braid goes well with weaving, but here you need to keep in mind that you are unlikely to be able to weave it yourself to the end - even if you try to do it, the shorter strands will immediately begin to knock out of the weaving, as a result, the hairstyle will come out sloppy. Therefore, braids are recommended here, which end where short strands begin, and leave the rest free. In this case, it is better to curl the ends a little so that they look softer and more harmonious.

It is not so easy to make a bun that is fashionable this season on your head, but there is a way out - you can first roll the longest curls into a bun, and then simply wrap the shorter ones around your bun - the ends in this design are tucked under an elastic band and hidden with hairpins or invisible.

The fox tail looks very impressive on loose hair, and styling in this case takes no more than 5-10 minutes - for this you only need a hairdryer and a round brush.

To begin with, a little styling mousse or foam is applied to the curls, and then using a brush, the hair is slightly lifted at the roots and dried with a hairdryer, thus, the curls are made more voluminous and lush. After that, you can tackle the tips - a stream of air from a hairdryer is directed at them, while the strands are slightly wrapped with a brush inward and wait for complete drying.

Note that a regular comb is not used here. - if you twist curls on it, then you will not be able to unfold them back - the hair will get tangled, and in order to return them to their original state, you will have to go through many unpleasant minutes.

In general, taking care of the "fox's tail" is not difficult at all.The basic guidelines here are no different from the familiar tips for medium to long strands. In order for your curls to delight you with their shine, radiance and health as long as possible, you must:

• give preference to professional shampoos, in accordance with the structure and type of hair;
• after each wash, apply a conditioner balm;
• a couple of times a week to make nourishing masks on the curls, saturated with useful vitamins, minerals and oils;
• for painless hair combing, use a special brush with a special antistatic effect - it is made of natural materials and acts sparingly without damaging the hair shaft.
