Cascade for medium length hair: features and technology

A cascade is a haircut in which the upper layers of hair are cut shorter than the lower ones, thereby creating shape and volume. The cascade implies smooth transitions of lengths. The haircut has several types: with a smooth transition of length, multi-stage haircut, graduated cascade.

How to choose a haircut according to your face shape?

For a round face, a haircut with long front locks, up to the chin, is suitable. In the crown area it is better to add volume and make the bangs oblique or elongated.

For clients with a long face shape, you can get thick bangs. It is better to avoid volume in the crown area.

Cascade haircut for medium hair without bangs

Every woman has her own face type, and a cascade haircut suits any of them. To smooth out oval imperfections, as well as correct an overly sharp chin, choose a double cascade. This type of haircut provides additional volume, which will distract unnecessary attention from the face.

But the torn version is a wonderful way of self-expression for young, daring girls, as well as schoolgirls.

Cascade haircut for medium hair with bangs

With the help of bangs it is easy to correct the shape of the face, adding or hiding its features. If the client has decided on a graduated cascade, then we do not recommend cutting straight bangs. In this case, oblique, torn or long bangs will be an excellent choice for a multi-layered cascade haircut.

Cascade and hair structure

A mid-length cascade haircut is universal. It suits all hair types: straight, thick, thin, wavy, curly, unruly. Even unkempt curls will take on a fresh, healthy look. Curly hair in a cascade will fall very beautifully in this shape, and straight hair will receive the missing volume.

Cascade haircut technology option

1. Divide the entire volume of hair into four zones: two lateral (temporal), occipital and parietal.

2. Select a control strand on the crown. Pulling the strand 90 degrees relative to the surface of the head. Cutting - the control strand should be approximately 5-9 cm.

3. For thick hair, the remaining strands are cut alternately using a ladder. If the hair is sparse, it is enough to gather it in a ponytail on the parietal part and cut it, based on the length of the control strand.

4. Only the control strand (control strand) is pulled 90 degrees; the remaining strands are only applied to it and cut along its length.

5. For convenience, we recommend dividing the occipital area into several parts, working with each of them separately. Hair already at the correct length must be pulled to the side and pinned so that it does not interfere with work on the rest of the volume.

6. The first area for cutting is the back of the head. If the lowest layer does not reach the CP, it can be equalized along the strands located slightly higher, overlapping each other and placing it clearly parallel to the floor.

7. Next – cutting the temporal and parietal zones. Here, too, you will have to highlight the command post.

8. Distribution of strands equally over the temples is applicable if bangs are not provided. If you need to make a cascade haircut with bangs, then for it you need to determine a separate CP, relative to which the overall length and shape will be built.

9. When all the strands have reached the required length, you should dry your hair. Please note: under no circumstances try to straighten your hair by pulling it towards you - the correct direction is down, and only down.

Finish everything with thinning and styling.
