What hair length is considered average? What types of haircuts can definitely be considered universal and can be chosen for a given length? Master expert Pavel Butylsky answered these questions.

Hair length is usually divided as follows:

1 length is short hair, the length of which does not cover the ears.

Length 2 is hair up to the middle of the neck, usually bob length.

Length 3 is already medium shoulder-length hair.

Length 4 is medium hair up to the shoulder blades.

5 length – long hair to the middle of the back.

6 length – long hair to the waist.

But what universal haircut shapes should you offer to a client with medium-length hair? How can you diversify these forms? Pavel Butylsky, member of the international organization of elite hairdressers INTERCOIFFURE MONDIAL, teacher of the international charity project Education For Life, told us about this and more.

The concept of hair length, as you know, is very individual for all our clients. For some, the hair below the shoulder blades is still short, but for others, the hair that barely covers the ears is already long!

Therefore, first of all, let’s define what “average” hair length is. For me, as a master, this is hair below the chin, up to the collarbone or falling on the shoulders.

I would highlight two types of haircuts at medium length: forms based on a “line” (simpler - bob, bob) and forms with graduations or layers (simpler - cascade).

There is a third type of such haircuts; it involves adding bangs to each of the previous forms. And here both the master and the client have endless possibilities for imagination and creativity.

In fact, the master can select each element very individually for the client. The line can be either horizontal or extended towards the face. The graduation is low or high, and the crown, for example, is short. And with bangs there are simply countless options: straight, oblique, heavy or light, graduated.

Medium-length haircuts are one of the most versatile, they do not require much effort in styling, and keep their shape for a long time, if, of course, the haircut is done by a professional! Therefore, if a client comes to you with just such a request, you will always have something to offer.
