A fox tail haircut is a breath of fresh air among bored quads and ladders, although they are quite similar to the latter. Many varieties of haircuts promise that in the near future she will keep on the wave of popularity.

Who needs this haircut?

"Fox" can be called universal only when viewed from two sides out of four, but otherwise it does not suit everyone.

  1. Face shape. It is that aspect that is not important if the girl’s choice fell on the “fox”, because the hairstyle favorably emphasizes any features. Owners of a round and triangular face will remain in a special plus, and if the shape is excessively elongated, you can supplement the image with a bang option. Ladies with a rectangular / square outline of the skull are recommended to add a little asymmetry.
  2. Color. The name does not mean at all that the hairstyle is mostly red. On the contrary, the haircut will fall on any shade - both natural and obtained after dyeing. Graduation (a smooth transition of color from light ends to dark roots, such as ombre), highlighting, and even bright, bold colors look good with a fox tail.
  3. Hair length. Here, not everything is so simple. "Fox" is not suitable for strands shorter than shoulders. A fox tail haircut fits well on medium hair, it looks most luxurious on long ones.
  4. The structure and density of hair. An important point, since on rare strands the hairstyle will look poor and rather demonstrate the problem of falling out, and not give volume. It fits perfectly on straight or slightly wavy curls, but girls with small and frequent curls should think. Strongly curly ends will be knocked out of the total mass of hair and spoil the strict geometry of the cut.

Classic Fox Tail Hairstyle

The main feature of the hairstyle is that the hair on the back is folded with the letter V. For this she got her name, because this styling also resembles the fluffy tail of the same animal.

 

If we consider the "fox" from a technological point of view, then it is based on a cascadethat you have to do anyway. The only difference is how much hair it will spread. In one version, it can be designed only on the sides, without affecting the parts on the crown and back, and in the other - along the entire length, forming a smooth descent.

 

Step-by-step execution of the ordinary version and photos of the rest will be presented below.

For medium hair

If the hair ends in the area of ​​the shoulder blades, it is better to turn to the cascade on the sides to maintain the bulk of the strands.

  1. Clean hair dried by a hairdryer is thoroughly combed and divided into 2 equal parts.
  2. Both parts are hardened or secured with an elastic band separately from each other, from the back. They should not interfere with the haircut process.
  3. A small strand is released from the face on top of one of the sides and is cut with scissors to a length that will define the “top” of the cascade.
  4. Next, step 3 is repeated with several more strands on the same side, then you can proceed to the opposite, and the curls from the second side are necessarily compared with the first so that the symmetry is observed.
  5. Similarly, in parts, the work on the side cascade is being completed.
  6. The ends are machined (torn ends, trimmed, hot scissors, etc.), the lower cut is adjusted. Done!

For long hair

 

The fox tail on long hair can be performed in exactly the same way as on medium, or a cascade along the entire length can be made, which will give even more splendor.

 

Also, if the hair is long enough, you can try to make the shape “from a square to a triangle”, when the hairstyle is done to the shoulders according to the principle of an ordinary square, and below it is already cut in the shape of a triangle. It looks fresh and unusual.

In general, the length below the blades opens up a wide scope for styling.

Ideas for the owners of curls

Women with straight hair often dream of thick curls, and meanwhile, coveted curls require special care and special haircut technologies. As already mentioned, curls can violate the clarity of the triangle, so owners of such a structure should initially order a smoother cut for the master. It would be wiser to go from the “sharp” letter V to the less demanding U.

 

Another way will be to perform the full-length frame, and not just from the side, so that there is no excessive chaos in the hairstyle. It is also worth avoiding the bangs, it will puff up, which looks ridiculous. Starting the frame should not be too high for the same reason.

 

A lot of hairstyles will fall on curly hair trimmed “fox”.

  1. Ponytail. Hair is collected at the back of the head with an elastic band. If the person has strands left, they can be stabbed or processed with an iron / curling iron and left as a decoration.
  2. Classic braid. With her, the essence of the haircut is lost, but many have such a hairstyle, so you should consider it. It is necessary to act with strands on the face, as in paragraph 1, but there is a nuance - the braid cannot be braided to the end due to a cut. It is worth stopping as soon as the hair begins to beat out.
  3. In extreme cases, hair can be straightened, but daily straightening is a bad option, because naughty curls can always be made to be your highlight.

Option with bangs for hair to the shoulders

For relatively short hair, the fox tail is rarely performed, but there are ways to do it.

  1. Start the frame higher so that the shape of the tail is immediately traceable.
  2. Create something unusual at the ends. It can be just a ragged cut or curled hair (yes, the waves look great on the "fox").
  3. Make styling with volume at the roots.
  4. To cut a forelock.Not an ordinary straight line will look more stylish, but an asymmetrical fringe that sets a bold tone that always matches with a little too long hair.

Cone Cutting

A cone is not another female haircut, but another name for the fox tail.because the V-shape of the "fox" just resembles an inverted cone. This name is used less often among hairdressers, but an experienced master will immediately understand what the client means, asking him to cut it with a cone.

 

Photos prove that such a hairstyle serves as a good decoration for well-groomed hair, if done correctly. In this regard, you should not save on yourself, but turn to a good craftsman who will not forget to observe all the details, make the cut even and symmetrical on both sides, which always greatly affects the final result.
