Choice of colors

A graduated haircut is a great option for creating a stylish and unique look. Its lightness and playfulness are great for every day and for special occasions.

Features of graduation

What is a graduated or layered haircut? This is a hairstyle formed using thinning and smooth transitions. Getting acquainted with this hairstyle should begin by studying its features. Only then can you determine whether it is right for you:

  • Graduation is contraindicated for owners of sparse and thin hair;
  • A layered haircut can be done on strands of any length. It adds dynamism to short ones, beautiful volume to medium ones, and notes of romanticism to long ones;
  • For women with thick hair, graduation is an ideal choice, because it allows you to thin out and slightly reduce the weight of hair that is too heavy;
  • Layered haircuts look great on both straight and wavy hair;
  • The graduation can be supplemented with special coloring - coloring, bronding, highlighting;
  • Layered haircuts can be diversified with bangs of various shapes - straight, oblique, asymmetrical, torn.

Haircuts for short hair

They look bold, eccentric and very original. They give lightness, make you look younger, and do not require complex and lengthy styling. Such haircuts can be done even with a round face.

When creating a short layered haircut, you must follow several rules:

  • Do not part in the center - give preference to the side;
  • Don't cut the top layer too short;
  • Decorate your hair with bangs that can be placed on the side.

Some of the most popular graduated haircuts for short hair include the following models.

Graduated square

Layered bob can be classic or asymmetrical. It beautifully frames a long and oval face, creating a soft transition from the lush crown to the graduated strands near the cheekbones. Also, this hairstyle successfully emphasizes regular and sophisticated facial features.

Kare on a leg

Another fashionable option is a layered bob on a leg. A characteristic feature of this haircut is a fluffy cap at the back of the head, which opens up the neck. The hairstyle can be combined with oblique or straight bangs. It does not require much time for styling and is suitable for hair of a wide variety of densities. Elongated side strands painted in a different color will help to accentuate the layered bob on the leg.

Graduated bob

The classic bob, cut using the layered method, makes the look feminine, light and very youthful. It looks especially impressive on straight strands. In this case, you can easily change from a sporty, daring look to an elegant and business one.

A layered bob welcomes the presence of all types of bangs, but the most successful option is a thinned oblique with protruding sharp ends. This combination of soft contours and sharp edges draws attention to the eyes, emphasizes the cheekbones and contour of the face, and creates lush volume.

Ladder

The 2016 season simply cannot do without one of the most modern solutions - a layered ladder. It is suitable for straight and curly hair and has no age restrictions.

With a graduated ladder, hair is cut in flowing layers from the crown to the ears. Each next layer has its own length, making the hairstyle look even more interesting. Such a silhouette visually elongates a round face and softens the features, which is also important.

Pixie

A layered pixie cut looks great on both young girls and mature women. The texture of the hair also does not matter much - it can be either straight or wavy. As for bangs, most often it is an elongated asymmetrical model, going down to the middle of the cheekbones or a little lower. It allows you to smooth out a heavy chin, hide a high forehead and soften your features.

The graduated pixie has no restrictions on face shape. Of course, ideally it should be oval or round, but the master will be able to adapt it to any type - from rectangular to heart-shaped. When deciding on a pixie haircut, remember that it completely exposes your neck and draws attention to your lips and eyes.

Layered haircuts for medium hair

Traditional bobs, bobs, ladders and cascades can also be performed on medium-length strands. These graduated hairstyles help refresh your look and make your hair look fuller and fuller. Another significant plus is the variety of styling. Graduated haircuts at medium length can be styled using different methods depending on your mood. Moreover, with them even weak and unruly hair becomes alive and dynamic. And one more nuance! For split ends, a layered haircut will be a real length saver. To do this, it is enough to process only the top layer of hair with scissors.

Graduated cascade

Layering in cascading haircuts allows you to make smooth transitions and give your hair airy shapes. A mid-length cascade can be curled with an iron, the ends curled with brushing, or simply straightened.

Bob bob

The soft shapes of layered bobs are ideal for oval face shapes. This hairstyle looks feminine and gentle, creates a lot of volume, which women with thin hair will certainly appreciate.

Ladder

The layered ladder is a universal model that will suit almost every one of you. The ladder looks most successful on straight and thin strands, but it is no less attractive in curls.

Debut

This is an excellent example of model grading. It looks very feminine and hides all the nuances of the “circle” and “square”. The debut haircut is universal, unpretentious in styling and compatible with any type of face or hair. The peculiarity of this hairstyle is a clear arched frame of the face (the shape of a half-opened horseshoe) and a voluminous occipital-parietal zone. The debut can be complemented by various types of bangs - oblique, straight, horseshoe-shaped.

Graduation for long hair

Layered haircuts for long hair have been in fashion for many years. Depending on the structure and characteristics of the strands, graduation is performed at different levels:

  • Light gradation at the tips is the most common option. This technique is ideal for very thick hair, when you need to move away from straight and strict lines. Graduation makes such haircuts relaxed and easy;
  • Graduation from the ears, continuing along the entire length. Girls with straight and curly hair can opt for it;
  • Layering at the top of the head is essential for fine strands. The main thing is that the hair is no shorter than 5 cm! Otherwise, you can get a hedgehog effect.

Here is a list of layered haircuts for long hair.

Cascade

A cascade with or without bangs is performed around the entire circumference of the head or just around the face. The shortest layer of hair is at the top of the head. Then the layers smoothly move to the tips.

Italian

This is one of the types of cascade. A characteristic feature of the Italian is the ultra-lush multi-layered crown. The remaining strands are cut according to the standard pattern, and excess volume in the occipital-parietal zone is removed with a razor or thinning scissors.

How to choose the perfect haircut?

Styling graduated hairstyles

Photos of layered hairstyles have already shown you all the variety of styling. Let's clarify a few more points.

For daily styling, simply dry your hair with a hairdryer with a crevice attachment and a flat comb. The process begins from the area at the temples and ends at the back of the head. The hairstyle turns out very fluffy and neat.

For those who want to emphasize multi-layered looks, we recommend using modeling wax or gel. Apply any of these products to dry ends. An alternative to gel would be unusual coloring (for example, coloring using 2-3 tones).

On extended models, greater variety is allowed. These are hairstyles with backcombing, curls, braids, babettes, buns, shells, ponytails, etc. The “wet effect” and other tousled hairstyles look very good with a graduated haircut.

Graduated haircuts for long hair are one of the modern trends in hairdressing. Graduated haircut has a variety of execution patterns, which allows you to get the desired result. But despite the many options, this type of hairstyle is not suitable for everyone. Particular attention should be paid to owners of fine hair, so that the haircut fits perfectly, you should carefully monitor the care.

A graduated haircut represents sliding transitions, ultimately forming. It is formed using a thinning tool. Features include the following:

- An excellent addition to a graduated haircut on long hair is dyeing and bangs. Coloring, blond, highlights look great. Bangs can have different shapes (oblique, straight, torn, asymmetry) depending on the preferences of the owner of the hair.

Calibration technology

The technique of performing a cascading hairstyle allows you to maintain the length of the hair; only the layers of the upper strands are removed. The ends of the hair lie smoothly on top of each other, which adds volume, fullness and vitality to long curls. In addition, removing the ends of the hair eliminates split ends.

Graduated haircuts for long hair are performed according to the following basic rules:
- a 90-degree slope allows you to visually add volume. Using a 90 degree lift pattern, the client gets the missing thickening effect;
- pulling the curl at an angle of 45 degrees helps to increase the volume in the occipital zone at the middle and lower level;
- to get a high cascade, the strands are pulled parallel to the floor;
- another secret is the location of the stylist’s hand. If your fingers are at an angle of 60 degrees relative to the strand at the time of cutting, then the result will be ideal;
- the thinning process should also be approached carefully. Thin hair has brittle ends, which can ruin styling and overall appearance;
- you should carefully monitor the implementation of transitions; they can be invisible to the eye, smooth or sharp, bold.

In order for the graduation to be in harmony with the bangs, it is necessary to begin the transitions directly from the bangs. For those who have refused it, the cascade begins at the level of the top point of the earlobe.

Straight bangs

With straight bangs you can hide a high forehead; such bangs are great for oval face types. Straight bangs with an even cut to the eyebrow line or just below are ideal for all hair types and types of graduated haircuts.

Side bangs

Soften rough facial features, great for square shapes. The bangs can be located along the chin or eyebrows.

Arched bangs

The arch shape looks good on a triangular face type. Arched bangs have a characteristic elongation that requires laying on the side or symmetrically positioned.

Fashion trends for cascade

The most fashionable feature for graduated haircuts is slight negligence and naturalness. Those around you should get the impression that the girl spent no more than 10 minutes laying the cascade. Pretentiousness and complexity in styling are permissible only for a special occasion: a holiday or a wedding.

Especially popular among young people is a graduated cascade for long hair. Slightly tousled strands will create a casual effect. Stylists offer the following fashionable shades for coloring the cascade: lilac, light pink, burgundy. The main trend of the new season is a graduated cascade with elongated bangs to the side. This type of haircut can be decorated with original decor.

Hairdressing art is developing very dynamically. One of the relatively new ways of doing hairstyles is graduation. A modern graduated women's haircut is a composition consisting of several layers. It can be performed regardless of hair structure and length.

Hairdressers use the word “graduation” or, alternatively, “graduation” to mean cutting hair at a pre-selected angle. In this case, the appearance and structure of the haircut will depend on the size of the angle. Changing this parameter affects the volume and lines of the future hairstyle.

Graduation can be performed throughout the entire volume of hair or only in certain areas, for example, on the face.

A little about technology

In order for a graduated haircut to beautify a girl, it is important to choose an option that matches the shape and type of face. Hairstyle technique is also very important. Different combinations of angles at which the strands are raised for trimming allow you to get different hairstyles; they will differ significantly in volume and expression of layers.

If the haircut pattern involves layering or gradation, then the use of graduation is mandatory. When performing a haircut with clear straight lines of the same length, the angle at which the combed strands are lifted is 0 degrees, that is, there is no graduation at all.

The lifting angle of the working strands and the appearance of the hairstyle are directly dependent. Here are the basic rules:

  • to add volume to the hairstyle, it is necessary to lift the strands at an acute angle, that is, the lifting angle should be less than 90 degrees;
  • when using a lifting angle that is greater than straight, you can achieve a “layered” effect, but the volume of the hairstyle will be significantly less;
  • to achieve high graduation, the working strand will need to be pulled strictly parallel to the floor line. In this case, volume is created in the upper area of ​​the back of the head;
  • graduation in the middle and lower part of the occipital region is performed by pulling the strand at an angle of 45 degrees, in this case, the main volume will be located lower;
  • It is also important to monitor the position of the auxiliary hand, which is used to clamp the working strand. When the fingers are positioned at an angle to the working surface of 45 degrees, the layering will be barely noticeable. When the fingers are positioned at right angles, on the contrary, pronounced transitions are obtained. For optimal results, it is recommended to use an angle of 60 degrees;
  • if you are working with hair that is curly, then the recommended lifting angle should be reduced, since curly hair shortens more when it dries.

When performing work, you will need to always focus on the signal or guide strand. It can be stationary or variable. In the first case, one strand is selected, to which all the others will be pulled and trimmed according to its length.

If you choose the option of changing the strand, then each time you need to take a small part of the already cut hair, which joins the working strand, that is, each time a new signal strand is created. This cutting method is used most often.

Let's consider graduation for long hair:

  • haircut is performed using a stationary signal strand;
  • cuts are made with straight scissors, the indentation is 1-2 cm;
  • If desired, deep thinning can be done.

Technology for a similar haircut for medium hair:

  • the entire mass of well-combed hair is parted horizontally;
  • the upper strands are cut at the same level (for example, to the eyebrow line);
  • the lower strands are left longer;
  • the ends of the trimmed strands should form a straight line;
  • if the hair is thin, it is recommended to make a ladder in the crown area to add volume to the hairstyle.

Photos of various options for graduated haircuts allow you to choose the most advantageous option for almost every girl. Here are some tips for choosing:

  • for short hair A regular haircut with graduations is worth doing if the hair is thick enough. In this case, this hairdressing technique will remove unnecessary volume and the hairstyle will look neat;

  • if the hair is not thick, then a short graduated haircut should be complemented by a ladder made on the top of the head. In this case, the length of the strands in the upper part should not be less than 5 cm. Only if these conditions are met, the hairstyle will turn out voluminous;

  • if fulfilled long graduated haircut, then the multilayer structure can begin to be created below the level of the chin. You can do a very light graduation; when choosing this option, the overall length of the hair will not be affected, and the hairstyle will look modern and stylish;

On thin and not very thick hair, you need to be careful with the graduation.

  • A neat graduated haircut will look only if the transitions are subtle, that is, they are done very smoothly.

If you need to visually correct the shape of your face, then you should do a haircut with bangs. So, if your face is round, then you should get a haircut with a side parting and without excessively shortening the upper strands. It is recommended to make the bangs oblique and elongated. An elongated, thin face can be corrected with straight, thick bangs reaching to the eyebrows.

Laying

One of the advantages of this option is that everyday styling of a graduated haircut is as simple as possible; it does not require much time or professional skills in working with tools.
