One of the most popular retro haircuts is “Aurora”, or as it is also called – “Italian”. We’ll talk about it in this article.

The history of this haircut is from the 80s of the 20th century, from Italy. Then many stars and actresses picked it up, as the trend spread very quickly. A mandatory element of Aurora is multi-stage. A “cap” is made on the top of the head - there the strands are the shortest, the transitions between these steps are clear, and the hair is milled along the length. As a result, the upper part of the hair acquires pomp and root volume.

Options for the “Aurora” haircut, both with and without bangs, look great, so you can choose the one that is more suitable for a particular client: torn, straight, asymmetrical. This haircut is performed using the layering + gradation technique (with or without bangs, depending on the client’s choice).

How to “adjust” a haircut to your face shape?

Round face shape. Clients should choose an option with lengthening and emphasized side strands - this will visually narrow the head, and the torn ends on the curls near the chin will further elongate the oval. It is not advisable to cut your hair shorter. It would also be a good idea to add volume to the crown.

Oval face shape. Indeed, almost all haircuts suit this shape, and Aurora is no exception. It hides the disproportion of the face and goes well with glasses, hats and other accessories.

Square face shape. For her, it is better to leave a few loose strands around her face - they will soften the shape and smooth out the angularity of the cheeks and cheekbones. You can finish the haircut with ragged straight or oblique bangs.

Triangular face shape. This shape suits the short version of “Aurora” up to the chin or cheekbones with additional volume at the ends.

The asymmetrical variation of “Aurora” – a side parting and side bangs – will help hide irregular facial features.

Benefits of a haircut

Owners of the haircut note that it is easy to care for and requires little time for styling - just wash your hair and dry your hair with a hairdryer. Additional volume and thickness are achieved by cutting the hair short with a cascade at the top of the head. You can change your image, choose strands, create a casual romance, and various weaving options are also possible.

What about hair structure?

Without any special problems or effort, the haircut will suit clients with straight and wavy hair. Straight hair will get additional volume, and wavy hair will get easier combing and a more neat look. Sparse, weakened or hard and thick - the haircut looks good on strands of any type.

You can cut the Aurora on curly hair, but the shape of the haircut will not be ideal due to the curls.

Medium-length hair is optimal for Aurora; you can even do your hair without bangs. The “cap” can be cut so that it is clearly visible or blends in with the bulk of the hair.

A haircut for long curls is an opportunity to add volume to your hair and maintain its length. But at the same time you will have to say goodbye to a significant part of the curls in order to make a “hat”.

On short hair, such a multi-layered hairstyle looks very stylish and voluminous, but it will not suit those with an angular face.
