Canadian haircut: history, who is it suitable for, how to do it?

The Canadian cut is a very neat and low-maintenance haircut that every male client has definitely tried on himself at least once in his life.

It is generally accepted that the Canadian has two variants of origin. According to the first, this haircut was customary in the navy and was mandatory for sailors. Then the name was a little different - “rope rope”, due to the fact that it was cut straight, like on a rope. Sailors were allowed to leave longer locks only on the crown of their head.

The second option suggests that Canadian hockey players had this haircut in the 70s of the last century. All members of this team had the same hairstyle, symbolizing the strength and unity of the athletes.

Initially, the Canadian was made with a large difference in length between the hair on the back of the head, temples and crown. This model was especially popular with young guys who wanted to look stylish and impressive. But this option was not suitable for sports, as it created problems during training.

For athletes, the Canadian jacket was shortened a little, that is, the length was reduced in all zones. Nowadays this haircut is not associated with sports as much as with elegance and formal style.

How to cut a Canadian haircut?

You need to cut dry, washed hair. First you need to comb them in the direction from the crown to the back of the head.

Next - make partings: horizontal from ear to ear, and vertical - through the temporal parting on each side, make a vertical parting.

Close to the forehead, a section of hair one and a half centimeters wide is separated.

Pull the strand at an angle of 90 degrees and cut it to approximately 3 centimeters.

Also cut in the parietal and temporal zones. In the temporal region, the strands must be pulled back and cut so that the transition from the frontal part to the ears looks smooth and imperceptible.

Horizontal parting at the back of the head. You need to divide your hair exactly in half.

Then the strands are laid in the upper area. The strand is separated from the parting vertically and cut. It is recommended to use the oblique cut method. In the downward direction, the strands should come out less and less.

Next, the lower part is a Canadian haircut with a clipper to achieve a minimum length.

And the last thing is thinning.

What to look for during selection?

Clients with a rectangular face are advised to open their forehead as much as possible. To round a square face, you need to add volume to the upper zone.

A round face can be balanced with bangs and parting. Elongated features can be harmonized with the sporty look of a Canadian woman with long bangs.

Well, traditionally, any variation of a Canadian haircut and more is suitable for an oval face.
