One of the most fashionable and stylish by world standards is recognized as a bob haircut with a leg with an extension. She is considered an individual style trait of stars such as Rihanna, Victoria Beckham and Keira Knightley, and also for a long time adorned the head of Olga Buzova, Lera Kudryavtseva and other Russian celebrities. The haircut won the hearts of celebrity with its uniqueness, originality and not only - about all its advantages and varieties in details described below.

Who is suitable for a leg on a leg with extension

The essence of the elongated square is a uniform increase in the length of the strands from the back of the haircut to the face, and the leg is a very short cropped lower layer of hair on the back of the head, supporting the bulk of the hair. This technology of creation is observed in all types of haircuts, which can be short or classic, made on medium length hair, asymmetric, graduated, in the style of a bob-car, with or without bangs.

 

There are many varieties of haircuts, which means its versatility with respect to appearance. However, when planning to make an elongated square on the leg, one should pay attention to the recommendations of those who better see the truth from the height of their professionalism. That is, stylists and hairdressers with extensive experience in "barber" activities. And they advise this:

  1. Active-looking ladies who are self-confident and have a clear life position, fearless and ready for experimentation most often choose a square leg with an extension. Shy young ladies are better to give preference to classic discreet varieties of squares.
  2. A female haircut with an extended square on the leg, if it is not supplemented by a straight thick bang to the eyebrows, due to the increase in the length of the strands to the face and oblique cut significantly stretches the oval of the face. This will come in handy chubby persons. However, on overweight women with thin hair, such a hairstyle will look ridiculous.
  3. Girls with a triangular face and pointed features should not choose varieties of elongated square on the leg with a pronounced angle, you should opt for a slight increase in the length of the front strands, and even better - asymmetry.
  4. This haircut is considered a youth version of the square. However, stylish ladies in age will be able to appreciate it, as it has an amazing property - visually “throw off” its owner for ten years.
  5. Graduated varieties are excellent options for owners of a square and rectangular face, as they smooth out corners with their splendor, softness and airiness and make the image more tender. Particular attention in these cases should be given to the selection of the optimal length and bangs.

Mid-length classic

 

The classic design of an extended square on the leg implies the presence of medium-length hair, since only in this case it will be enough to create a noticeable and harmonious extension. And the leg will most effectively cope with the function assigned to it. Variations may be as follows:

  1. To the chin. In this case, the occiput is overestimated, and the transition between the lengths is carried out only with a slight deviation from the direct cut.
  2. To the shoulders. An ideal length in which all proportions are balanced and the angle is approximately 45 degrees. Such a haircut looks moderately magnificent and very neat.
  3. To the collarbone. In this embodiment, a square on the leg with an extension between the oversized nape and the longest front strands forms a smooth transition with the sharpest angle. As a result, the haircut looks megastile and unusual, and it also becomes a creative alternative to long hair.

Asymmetry

 

Asymmetry is a relatively new hairdressing technique that helps to not only emphasize the individuality and originality of the lady, but also to solve a number of important tasks for correcting the appearance. Namely: to stretch the oval of the face, to visually make thin hair more voluminous and more. A square on the leg with elongation can also be performed with asymmetry, that is, one side of the haircut is much shorter than the other. The central highest point, as a rule, is located on the back of the head, and uniform sections go off from it to the face, the lines of which are located at different angles. In the traditional version, the maximum length of the front strands of one of the sides reaches only the lower earlobe, while the second can go down to the clavicle.

Graded Option

 

Graduation is a brilliant method of cutting hair, where each subsequent strand is cut a little shorter than its predecessor. Depending on the location of the layers, their visibility, and also on the distance between adjacent steps, the graduated caret on the leg with elongation can be conditionally divided into three main types:

  1. Classic graduated. The difference between the lengths of adjacent strands is almost imperceptible, so that the transition is smooth and harmonious. To create such a graduation is a painstaking work, which not every hairdresser will undertake. But if the master professionally owns scissors and is not afraid to spend several hours on one client, then the result will be simply stunning. The haircut will keep its shape, keep its volume without any styling.
  2. Cascade. In this case, the distance between the layers becomes larger, and the steps themselves are thicker, which also looks wonderful and very magnificent, but requires at least minimal styling.
  3. Torn - a creative version of a graduated caret on a leg with an extension, in which the steps are arranged without any sequence and pattern, that is, as the creator thinks.Transitions between them are made as contrasting as possible. Such a haircut will appeal to those who prefer not to be like everyone else and attract eyes.

Bob

 

The bob-car is a modern and ultra-creative interpretation of the bob-leg. In the classic version, the haircut is characterized by a very voluminous and rounded shape. An extension bob has an oblique cut of the bottom line, which causes a certain difference in lengths between the raised occipital part and the front strands lowered. An elongated bob-car can be performed in the following variations:

  1. Traditional with slight elongation.
  2. Heavily elongated.
  3. Asymmetric.
  4. Graduated.

With a bang

 

The initial version of the haircut does not include bangs, but it looks very impressive. A square on the leg with an extension with a bang is a diverse and individual hairstyle, which can be of the following types:

  1. With a straight bang to the eyebrows. It hides all kinds of forehead defects - excessive height, wrinkles, oily skin, scars and others. It makes the image softer and more feminine, and also shortens the oval of the face. Which, depending on the particular type, can be interpreted both as an advantage and as a disadvantage.
  2. With a slanting bang. It lengthens the face and hides many of its shortcomings, and also adds haircut creativity.
  3. With a pointed bang, which helps to create the image of a sexy vampire lady and sharpen features, and therefore it is not recommended for ladies with an overly sharp chin.
  4. With an arched or round bang. Visually the most voluminous variation of the haircut, significantly rounding the face.
  5. With a forked bang. Externally, this variation is not too different from an elongated square on the leg without a bang. But, thanks to the latter, the haircut is special and more interesting.

  2. Raise the crown by combing or crimping the root zone of the hair, and straighten the front strands with an iron or curl the ends inward.
  3. Use forceps or a curling iron to create slightly erratic curls on the back of the haircut.
  4. Lay the haircut in a creative mess or select only the ends of the strands with a fixing agent, which will make the hairstyle textured. Creative styling looks especially good on graded options.
