Kare, or long bob. The name of the haircut has the same meaning - all hair is cut at the level of the middle of the neck (without extensions) to the same length.

If we talk about the technical part, then this form uses the basic “line” technique and the basic “square” form.

The “line” technique creates an accumulation of mass in the contour, thus increasing the thickness of the hair.

The square shape creates a balance of length around the perimeter, that is, there are no extensions in the haircut as a result.

The wizard uses this form to solve the following tasks:

- you need to increase hair thickness;

- fill out the complexion and figure;

- compensate for narrow shoulders;

- correct the elongated neck.

Why is bob one of the most popular haircuts?

Very often, professional masters use this form in salon work, since it is very easy to perform and will give a noticeable change in the image.

Clients choose the long bob shape for a change of look when they want to cut off the length without having to cut their hair very short.

There are two variations of the long bob haircut:

- with the ends of the hair directed inward;

- straight hair, without ends directed inward;

To create an inward direction of hair, you need to increase the length of each subsequent strand from the previous one.

The length can be increased by tilting your head away from you. This will create an organic difference.

Technical execution

1. Trim the hair at the back of the head with horizontal partings from the edge line of growth on the neck to the crown. We use radial head tilts.

2. We cut the temporal zones with a level chin, parallel to the floor, but use a head tilt away from ourselves. Also with horizontal partings.

3. All haircuts are performed at 0 degrees.

If you need to create a shape without directing the hair inward, then you need to perform the same steps as in the first case, only without tilting your head.
