Women's haircut "half-box"

At the beginning of the 20th century, women gladly got rid of long hair and tried on social roles that were not typical for them. Short haircuts started just then.

In 1909, in France, the hairdresser Antoine invented and implemented a short haircut for the actress Eva Lavalier. The beginning of the fashion for short haircuts was laid precisely then.

These phenomena, which took place almost 100 years ago, have successfully migrated today with some transformations. Then women just started to cut their hair short, now they boldly try on men's haircuts. One of them is the "semi-box" haircut for men.

A bully haircut speaks for its owner when she is silent. And attracts attention without additional actions of self-expression. "Half-box" as a decoration for a woman works non-trivially. Emphasizes femininity with her rudeness. How sometimes big heavy boots accentuate slender legs and oversized clothes accentuate a fragile figure. But heavy boots are not good for all feet, “oversized” is not suitable for everyone, the same story is with the “semi-boxing”. We study the issue.

If you have a round face, the strands on the crown of your head will visually correct the shape of the head, and the face will appear more elongated. Thin hair - the cutting technique adds volume. If you love experimenting with coloring, or are just planning to start - "semi-box" goes well with non-standard colors. You like drawings, shaved stripes - your short hair at the temples and the back of the head can become a canvas for this beauty.

But a haircut may not work if you have an oval face - it will look even more oval (although this can be corrected with long bangs). Strongly curly hair - it will be difficult to style (but you can shave off the temples and leave the length at the crown, it will be easier to handle). If you are a respectable lady, you may suddenly feel uncomfortable with minimalistic temples and a dashing forelock (but if this thought makes you laugh, then everything will be fine, you can get a haircut).

If you have already chosen "semi-box", pay attention to the varieties.

The popularization of many phenomena is sometimes due to public figures. So it was with the girls' "semi-boxing". The appearance of a celebrity with such a haircut caused delight and excitement. The stylists were attracted by people who wanted the same model hairstyle. The pros have thought about how to adapt what they like to different types, and now, thanks to the varieties of the "semi-box", you can choose exactly yours. Nowadays "half-box" hairstyle is not for men, but already unisex. It does not at all oblige the owner to a sporty style and behavior.

Ultra-short women's "half-box" - whiskey shaved, the longest hair is 6 cm. If you have already worn short haircuts, and they suit you, you can take this length. If you have not worn, but you have a beautiful head shape and an oval face, you can try.

Short "semi-box" - for girls in the Twiggy style, miniature reeds. (Twiggy herself wore a different haircut, but also short, and with this haircut she became the first model to unveil a unisex haircut on the catwalk).

Elongated "half-box" - if you are larger. Most of those seen with the "half box" wear the lengthened version. At the top of the head, the length arrives, but at the back of the head and temples it is minimal (that is, the difference in the height of the hairstyle is even more expressive). "Half box" can also be worn with long asymmetrical bangs, especially if you need to correct the oval of the face. You can confuse the elongated "half-box" with the pixie, their difference is in how the transition from the parietal and upper occipital part to the temples and lower occipital part is formed. In the women's "semi-box" they become as short as possible through a smooth transition.

As the name suggests, at the origins the haircut belonged to athletes. The shape of the haircut had its own functionality: on the one hand, it allowed the hair to dry quickly above the neck and at the temples, and on the other hand, it had a beautiful shape for everyday life. Very short lower part of the occiput and temples, smooth transition to the upper part of the occiput and parietal zone. Edging is done along the hairline. The second is along the upper edge, where the hair fades away at the temples and the back of the head. Long hair at the crown. The difference in height on the hair looks interesting (the length of the hair at the crown is up to 8 cm, and at the back of the head and temples about 4 mm).

For thin hair, the technique of "feathers" or "feathers" is added to those techniques that are characteristic of the "half-box". This is when the curls at the ends are cut not evenly, but with teeth. This is done with a razor or scissors. The size of the teeth can be different.

A master class for performing a haircut is presented in the following video.

Women's "semi-box" of medium length requires a minimum of styling - apply styling after washing your hair. You can put the wax on your fingers and warm it up slightly by rubbing the tips together. This technique allows you to avoid strands stuck together from an excessive amount of the product. Then apply to the upper strands.

Elongated female "semi-box". Treat the strands with mousse and put back: this styling will be good for the office, and as an evening, for going to the theater. Lay the strands to one side, securing with strong varnish. Style in waves or curls and finish with styling wax. Swirl slightly. It will turn out to be very romantic.

For a "semi-box" with bangs, styling is selected depending on the shape of the hair and the type of bangs. Modeling paste is suitable for curly ones. The elongated bangs can both fit to one side and rise. You can have fun with different styles. Choose different styling products for different tasks.

Comb the strands from the roots to half the length. After that, lay in a mohawk. Perfect for a walk, and for an informal party.

“A haircut is a state of mind, not just a way to do something with hair,” the thought of Mary Garden, one of the women who parted with long hair at a time when it was unthinkable, more than a century ago. Sometimes, in order to start changing from the inside, you can start from the outside. The whirling mood of the "half-box" will help with this.
