Who needs this haircut?
What the result will be when creating a short flight of stairs, depends primarily not even on the structure of the woman's hair, but on the skill of the hairdresser. Therefore, it is very important to entrust your hairstyle to a true professional, otherwise the fair sex can not avoid disappointment. As noted above, the main rule of cutting is the presence of neat “steps” on the hair, which are aligned at the ends of the curls. They need to be cut carefully and carefully.
The task of the haircut under discussion is a visual increase in volume. Therefore, most often it is recommended to choose young ladies, whom nature did not reward with a sufficiently thick mop of curls. Also, with this haircut, a woman can slightly adjust the shape of her face, for example, to make features softer and more tender.
The ladder is ideal for girls with a round face, which in shape resembles a hole. She will visually hide the volume of her cheeks and slightly stretch her chin.
But under such conditions, the master must cut the hair so that the short strands begin strictly from the cheekbones.
You can choose the ladder and the owners of the face, the "square". A haircut will make his features softer and more sophisticated. Rough lines will become less noticeable and conspicuous.For young ladies with this type of face, the ombre effect will be a great addition to the haircut. More specific advice can be given to them by the master directly in the selected beauty salon. It will be useful for such a conversation to take with you photos of your favorite images, for example, among the stars or acquaintances of charming young ladies.
If you select a ladder for a triangular face, after such a haircut it will become more proportional. It will be especially relevant for owners of a strongly narrowed chin. To achieve the desired effect, you will need to ask the hairdresser to start making the strands short from approximately the middle of the face.
Classic ladder for hair of different lengths
Ladder is considered to be a universal haircut. That's because it is equally suitable for any type of face and for ladies of any age.
For short hair
If the discussed haircut is performed on short hair, it will add to the hairstyle of accuracy and “organization”. Short hair is not easy to care for. With the wrong haircut, they lose not only volume, but also structuredness. If you make the hairstyle multilevel, then the problem can be instantly fixed.
An experienced master should know that the technique for performing a short ladder is very different from that used for medium and long curls. So that the hairstyle looks stylish, it turns out voluminous and “lively”, it is necessary to start cutting hairs from the back of the head. The very first control strand is formed, along which the hairdresser is constantly guided in the future. Only after it, the master can begin to process whiskey and the crown.
There are a lot of options for interesting hairstyles for a short short flight of stairs. And straight, and very curly, and slightly wavy hair can be styled in a variety of ways. Among them are everyday and holiday options. Thematic master classes will help you to repeat whatever you like.
If the girl is the owner of curly hair, then the combination of the ladder and bangs will be inaccessible to her. In other cases, such a short haircut is perfectly complemented by torn bangs and bright makeup. In general, we get a very stylish, modern look.
Haircut ladder for medium hair
A correctly made haircut for medium hair with bangs always looks fresh, stylish, interesting and at the same time noble. If the girl has a rather high forehead, she should definitely add uneven bangs to her image, for example, oblique or lacerated. Such a combination will make the image of the fair sex feminine, romantic, mysterious and fashionable. And, in addition, will hide the existing flaws.
First of all, the girl will need to choose the right hairstyle for herself and show it to the master. The hairdresser will begin to cut the ends of the curls from the bangs. Only in this case will it be possible to achieve perfect smoothness of lines and harmony of the entire hairstyle.
If a ladder is performed on medium hair without a bang, then special attention should be paid to the selection of the color of the hair. Not with every shade of strands would such a hairstyle look perfect. An experienced master will help make the right choice for the girl.
It must be remembered that the ladder on medium hair requires considerable care. You will often have to adjust it and use a hair dryer with different nozzles for regular styling.
On long hair
Just cutting a ladder for long hair always turns out to be especially successful. She looks gorgeous and truly adorns a woman. Long curls of the master are called the ideal basis for creating different multi-level haircuts, including short flight of stairs. At maximum lengths, it is easiest to achieve smoothness effects in transitions between levels and gentle, rough lines.
If a woman has thin and weak curls that do not look voluminous, then the discussed haircut will be a real salvation for her.The dynamism of such a hairstyle, its splendor and airiness will help visually make the locks thicker and stronger.
Long-haired young ladies will have to abandon the ladder only if they are the owners of curly or strongly curly curls. Otherwise, the hairstyle will look sloppy, and curls will be arranged randomly. Of course, you can straighten your hair daily with an iron, but in this case, their condition will soon deteriorate significantly.
Images without bangs
Hairstyle ladder looks equally good on the hair and with bangs, and without it. It all depends on the preferences of the girl herself and her type of appearance.
If a woman decided on a ladder of long hair without a bang, then her main task will be to create a visual volume of her hair, otherwise the hair as a whole will look “sleek”, too smooth. For example, for this, curls can be regularly stacked with a round comb and hair dryer.
A simple ladder does not fit well with a growing long bang. In this case, when laying the strands, it is worth pinning on the sides with miniature hair clips, and not leaving them free. Otherwise, it will not be possible to achieve the accuracy of the hairstyle and the whole image as a whole.
For owners of bangs
Ladder perfectly complement any bangs.
Such a tandem makes the hairstyle even more fashionable, interesting, original.
When cutting hairstyles for long hair, you should immediately cut the bangs. If it has already been done earlier, then you will need to ask the master to slightly correct it for the general concept. So, if the “steps” begin from the cheekbones, the bangs should be made a little lowered, if much lower (for example, in the chin area), then it’s better to choose its oblique version with thinning.
What is the difference between a haircut ladder from a cascade
Women who choose the perfect multi-level hairstyle for themselves are probably interested in the question: how does a cascade haircut differ from a short flight of stairs?
There are several significant differences:
- The cascade is more complex. It takes at least an hour to create such a hairstyle, and the master must be a professional in his field.
- In the cascade, the difference between the lower occipital part and the crown is very pronounced. The top is shorter, the bottom is longer throughout the head. With a ladder, the crown is not so shortened.
- In the process of cutting, the cascade is created by vertical parting, and the ladder - horizontal.
- When cutting the ladder, the master begins to work with curls from the lower occipital part. Moreover, each upper part is obtained half a centimeter shorter than the previous one.
In the hairdresser you can often hear that these are two completely identical hairstyles. But only inexperienced novice masters usually say that. A true professional clearly sees the difference between the two discussed haircuts.
The main types of styling
There are a lot of options for laying any kind of ladder. If the strands are thin and weakened, the mirror will have to spend a lot of time every morning. It is most convenient to stack curls with a good hairdryer with a special round nozzle. Do not forget about the protective hair mousse.
A significant part of your hair can be effectively assembled into a high tail or even a bundle. At the same time, short strands will be nicely arranged near the face. Another simple option is to comb your hair well, bend their ends with a curling iron and put on a bright, interesting hoop.
The hairstyle with two braids on the sides looks interesting. If the girl’s hair is sparse, relaxed “links” of braids and strands slightly elongated from them will help to make the result larger. Curls that break out at the chin do not need to be stabbed or hidden in any other way. They will add a playful hairstyle. A similar effect will achieve two side tails.
Short flight of stairs - a simple and effective haircut, suitable for hair in different conditions and different lengths. Only the split ends of curls can spoil her appearance strongly.They must be removed during the haircut, otherwise the hairstyle will look scruffy and messy.
