Women's short haircuts have been in fashion for almost a century. Short haircuts entered women's fashion in the 20s of the twentieth century. The First World War contributed to their appearance. During the war, women, being at the front and working as nurses, had to cut their hair short. Fortunately, no hairstyles were visible under the headdresses of the sisters of mercy. Also, the woman's hair was forced to cut because of the epidemics that went on during the war years. Sometimes they even completely shaved off their hair or left a short hedgehog.

However, already in the post-war years, the fashion for short haircuts began to spread among urban women. And if earlier the symbol of female beauty was long hair and braids ("braid is a maiden beauty" - they said in Russia), then the twentieth century undoubtedly became the century of short haircuts.

The fashion for haircuts has changed over time. But the main options for women's short haircuts - bob, page, bob and cascade have always been in vogue.

Short haircuts are fashionable in our time. Today, a short bob is still in fashion, both on straight and curly hair, both with and without bangs.

Haircut - short bob

A bob haircut, in the classical sense, is a haircut in which both the hair and the bangs (if present) are cut with an even straight cut. The bob haircut is graphic. At the same time, it gives the hair visual heaviness and volume. This haircut looks good on thin hair, as it makes it look more voluminous. But it decorates even more and good heavy hair. There are options for bob haircuts, both with straight hair framing the face, and with significantly elongated front strands and a shortened back of the head.

A bob haircut requires perfect styling, because it looks best on straight and shiny hair.

The square can be not only short, but also of medium length. Remember, at least, the hairstyle Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, which is also a prime example of a square.

The classic square with bangs and curly hair looks good. At the same time, styling is interesting when the bangs and hair at the roots are straightened, and the ends of the hair are curled.

In 2014, the classic short bob with bangs on both straight and curly hair is in fashion. At the same time, one of the most current trends of the season is a square with smooth hair at the roots and curly hair ends. You can also wear a square without a bang.

A square with elongated side strands and styling in the style of "light tousled" is also in fashion. In general, a little "sloppy" styling and asymmetry in hairstyles this year are welcome not only for bob haircuts, but also for bob and cascade haircuts.

A cascade haircut is cut with a "ladder". The outline of the hairstyle is smooth and rounded. And if when cutting a bob, the hair can be longer in front and shortened at the back of the head, then when cutting a cascade, the hair is longer in the back and shorter in the front.

Hair in a cascade haircut can be "carelessly" styled. This haircut also looks good with the ends of the hair strands curled outward, which gives the image as a whole a touch of romance. Curling the ends of the strands inward will make the overall look more elegant.
