A bang is an additional element of any haircut, allowing you to model it and change the image with different styling.

As a rule, it is not thick and easily disintegrates into strands lying in an arbitrary direction. This option hides a high forehead well, softens the angularity.

A frozen cascade can be considered a winning option without a bang. The image is filled with romance and elegance, it is restrained, gives femininity. It should not be chosen by girls with a long face, massive nose or chin.

Cascade haircut technique

There are several cascade cutting techniques, depending on the texture, length of the hair and the desired result.

But they all boil down to two basic principles.

1. The control strand is the shortest, selected from the hair at the crown or back of the head.
2. All underlying layers increase in length by a certain amount.

According to the classical technique of cutting the cascade, the following stages are carried out:

1. The entire hair mass is divided into zones: crown, parietal, occipital and two temporal.
2. The control strand is selected at the back of the head. Pull it out at a right angle and cut it to a length of 10 cm.

   

3. The top layer is cut, moving from the back of the head to the face, applying each strand to the previous one at a right angle.
4. Each subsequent layer is pulled straight up to the control strand and cut off at the level with it.
5. The bangs of the desired shape are cut off last according to the appropriate technique, if necessary.
6. Thick hair should be thinned out with thinning.

Double cascade

The haircut for medium length hair, the most popular among women, is a double cascade.

How to cut it, features:

1. The control strand is selected at the crown, pulled to the forehead and cut off.
2. All subsequent strands are also laid along the head to the face, comparing with the control strand.

It is considered the simplest technique that does not require special skills; it can even be performed independently.

Graduated cascade

This look is multi-layered, which gives volume to the hair. The transitions between layers are smooth, almost invisible.

To perform a haircut using this technique, the hair is divided into more zones than with the classic version.

Move from bottom to top and from the back of the head to the face.

1. The lower occipital layer is pulled at an angle of 45º to the head and a vertical cut of the strand is made.
2. Each subsequent top layer is pulled at right angles to the head. And the cut is kept vertical.
3. At the end, thinning is carried out and the edging of the face is corrected.

Ragged

The torn technique of creating a cascade for medium hair is as simple as possible. Its essence is to create a noticeable difference in the length and thickness of the strands. This is the youth style of self-confident people.

It is carried out as follows.

1. It starts from the bottom layer of the nape, which is the longest in the entire hairstyle.
2. The strands are cut at different angles to the head, and are also chosen in different widths.

Frozen

A feature of the solidified cascade is the minimum difference between the lengths of all layers. At the same time, the graduation is located at the very bottom of the hairstyle. Its upper part is even.

Method for cutting a frozen cascade:

1. hair is distributed into zones so that the back of the head and crown form a single mass, distributed along the sides, also temporal with parietal;
2. select one long strand in the center of the crown and back of the head;
3. pull it vertically up and cut it parallel to the movement from the crown to the back of the head;
4. the rest of the strands from the side are pulled up to the control strand and cut flush with it, moving from the back of the head to the temples;
5. the temporal and parietal hairs are also cut, stretching straight up, aligning with the control strand.

Asymmetric

Asymmetry in the hairstyle is the difference in the length of the hair on both sides of the face, up to the shaved one temple. This image is chosen by people of art, confident personalities or adherents of non-traditional formats. It looks good on thick and coarse hair. The nuances of the asymmetric cascade of medium length include torn, chaotic strands.

The haircut is carried out like this:

1. divide hair into zones;
2. choose a control strand on the lower layer of the back of the head;
3. shear within one layer, increasing the length of the strands to the face on one side and decreasing on the other; for this, the long strands are pulled back to the control strand and, conversely, the control strand is pulled forward to the short strands;
4. perform similar processes with each top layer, reducing their length;
5. finish the haircut by processing the anterior and parietal zones.

On curly hair

Only a cascade is able to cope with naughty tight curls. It reduces volume and shapes.

The cutting technique is performed from the back of the head to the parietal zone.

1. Divide the hair into 2 parts with a straight parting, starting from the forehead and ending at the crown.The nape area is limited to a horizontal line from the rest of the hair.
2. Cut the back of the head parallel to the floor, pulling the strands down. Lead the haircut from the center to the sides. Thus, all layers of the occipital are treated.
3. Next, the lateral zones are cut, moving up the vertex to the crown. To do this, the new strands are pulled up with the lower strands of the nape and cut along them. This is how the process is carried out for all hair of the crown and temples.
4. The parietal strands are directed forward along with the crown.
5. The result is a rounded hairstyle.
6. Finish the haircut with the processing of bangs and strands.

Cascade thinning

The thinning process can be carried out both with special scissors - fillers, and straight, sliding along the hair, cutting the cloves, cutting into a strand, in other ways.

The traditional method with fillers is carried out on thick hair to give it airiness and softness, to remove excess volume. The cascade is no exception.

A cascade on medium hair (how to cut it using one of the thinning techniques, shown in the photo) is characterized by sharp ends of the strands. You can achieve them by cutting off feathers and teeth with straight scissors. Such strands are scattered throughout the volume and lie in a given direction when laying.

Therefore, when performing any type of cascade, it is preferable to use slicing, poiting and other types of thinning, avoiding thinning scissors.

Styling features

The cascade is also universal in that it can be laid in completely opposite ways:

• with volume or smoothed;
• twisted at the ends or straightened by an iron;
• laid "hair to hair" or disheveled by hands;
• fixed with styling products or free-lying strands.

Some tips for creating fashionable looks:

1. Thin straight hair in a cascade is straightened with an iron along the entire volume along with bangs. This casual style can be played up with trendy color schemes and a combination of several natural shades.
2. With the help of a wide brush, the hair is lifted at the roots, and its ends are curled inward - a classic style of the middle cascade. The hairstyle looks neat and suitable for any event.
3. The ends of the hair are turned outward along with the bangs, framing the face. This flying style makes the face open and the look expressive.
4. A romantic look - light or broken waves that are easy to create with an iron. Combine well with different coloring techniques.
5. Medium curly hair can be styled with a gel. Locking the curls so they get heavier.

The cascade technique has given rise to many fashionable haircuts. It has undergone many changes. Now how to cut it in this or that case depends on a combination of factors. Medium hair length remains the best option for any type of cascade.
