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.
