Haircut features Italian
Why do we love Italians? For their spontaneity and emotionality, for their love of delicious food and kisses, and also for their hot southern beauty. We can take a piece of this national magic for ourselves right now: just go to the salon and ask the master to choose a suitable variation of the Italian haircut for you!
The Italian woman is often confused with the standard cascading haircut, and this is not surprising, because they are close relatives! The Italian woman also cascades her hair, but the main difference between this haircut and all the others is that, regardless of the length of the hair, the top layer always remains fairly short.
Why did Italian fashionistas like this hairstyle? Everything is very simple: firstly, the Italian has a truly feminine character – she is both soft and a little eccentric, and secondly, she allows you to solve almost any task: too thick hair – to thin out and discipline, too thin – to make it visually more voluminous.
Advantages and disadvantages of haircuts
No matter how we tried to find the flaws in this revolutionary haircut, we failed!
But she has a whole legion of merits:
- suitable for any hair type;
- looks good with any type of face;
- can be worn with or without bangs;
- combined with any shade of curls;
- you can recreate a haircut on any hair length;
- a well-chosen version of the haircut emphasizes the dignity of the appearance and masks minor imperfections (for example, large facial features).
