Shoulder-length cascade with and without bangs

A popular hairstyle that is versatile and stylish is the shoulder-length cascade. For those who want a modern, dynamic look, this layered cut is a great option because it gives the hair movement and volume. This look is adaptable to a variety of hair types and can be easily tailored to personal preferences.

Adding bangs is a crucial variation of the shoulder-length cascade. Depending on the style chosen, bangs can drastically alter the overall vibe of the haircut, making it either more sophisticated or playful. The cascade around the face appears more framed and defined when there are bangs.

However, omitting the bangs presents a more carefree, open look. It produces a feel that is more organic and effortless by allowing the layers to flow freely. Because each version has its own unique charm, anyone searching for a stylish and contemporary hairstyle should consider the shoulder-length cascade.

What does a cascade look like on shoulder-length hair: photos from the back and side

On shoulder-length hair, a cascade appears magnificent and fashionable. This particular hair length is universally flattering and simultaneously looks feminine and cozy on the wearer. It also has volume and lightness from the cascade, and the image is made more delicate and feminine by the fluid transitions.

Those with thick, coarse hair shouldn’t use it. Because the former should be emphasized and the latter should be emphasized, stylists suggest considering alternative haircuts for people with hard hair.

Haircutting technique

The stylist first chooses the control strand for the crown before cutting the cascade. This lock will serve as the benchmark for all upcoming cuts.

1. Determine the control strand and remove the rest of the hair for convenience, securing them with clips.
2. Thoroughly comb the control strand and pull it out parallel to the floor.
3. Cut this lock to the desired length.
4. Divide the other hair with horizontal partings.
5. Pull the remaining strands to the control, cutting them straight.

Crucial! Split ends should be removed before cutting your cascade since this haircut places a lot of emphasis on them.

Haircut variations

The cascade is noteworthy due to its multiple variations. These are the most well-liked ones.

With bangs

Bangs aid in disguising physical flaws. Along with a cascade, bangs also aid in modifying the owner’s appearance, and this type of hairstyle is elegant and lovely. Bangs of any kind—straight, elongated, oblique, and with partings—are acceptable.

Without bangs

The traditional cascade option is the one without bangs. This haircut exudes a polished, businesslike, feminine aesthetic. Square and round faces work well with variations sans bangs because the side strands visually lengthen and thin the face.

Gradual length transitions

This option has a lot of layers involved. Furthermore, thinning is frequently utilized to give the hairstyle more volume and lightness as well as a more organic and natural appearance.

Torn cascade

The use of a ripped cascade allows for the creation of bold and imaginative images. Ideal for audacious young girls. The strands in this hairstyle are purposefully cut at an uneven length, leaving the transitions striking. You can use intricate coloring techniques or bold, bright hair dyes to highlight the original haircut.

Graduation

The uneven length at the back of the head and the short length of the strands on the crown cause contrasting and smooth transitions to alternate in a graduated cascade. Although this cut gives the hair more volume, people with very thin and soft curls shouldn’t wear it because the hair won’t hold the shape of the haircut.

Another drawback of this hairstyle is that it requires frequent correction. If not, the texture and beauty of the haircut are gone.

Double cascade

The hair is sliced in layers around the circle in a double cascade. This results in the achievement of root volume, which is optimally maintained even in cases where curls are thin and sparse. The crown region has a lot of transitions, which get progressively fewer as they approach the back of the head. There are gentle transitions. Every layer gets thinner.

REFERENCE. The simplest and fastest style is the double cascade, which involves tightening the inside ends of the hair while raising the hair at the roots with a brawler, hair dryer, and curlers.

Bob

A cascade-styled bob haircut stands out for its fashionable and imaginative appearance. With the exception of the Bob element, which is severely shortened, the entire head is covered in elongated layered strands (cascade). This haircut can soften a woman’s angular features, making it ideal for people with square and triangular faces.

Bob

A cascading bob is timeless. Those with thick, lush hair will look good with this haircut. Since soft hair will not hold the texture of the hairstyle, it is also done on thin curls, but with the graduation technique. Bangs are not necessary for doing this.

Sesson

Styling is essentially unnecessary for this hairstyle. Sesson appears to be one piece. Transitions and edging are seamless. Finding a skilled and knowledgeable hairstylist who can correctly execute this haircut is the biggest challenge. When executed appropriately, even in inclement weather, the session maintains its structure.

Asymmetry

In the 21st century, asymmetrical haircuts have become increasingly fashionable. They highlight their owner’s self-reliance and independent nature. These haircuts consist of varying length side strands that can be worn with an asymmetrical parting. Appropriate for all ages, as they can visually revitalize their owner.

Who suits which option

Any haircut—a cascade included—is chosen based on the person’s appearance and hair type.

Face shape

Because of its many variations, a shoulder-length cascade is a hairstyle that can flatter any type of face shape. Oval or slightly elongated face types are fortunate in that they can choose from every hairstyle variation. For the remainder, the following suggestions are made:

• if you have wide and massive cheekbones – a torn cascade;
• With a thin face – graduated options;
• for round and triangular faces – graduated and torn cascades.

Hair type

All hair types, except coarse hair, look great with this haircut. Girls who have coarse hair ought to examine alternative hairstyles more closely. Overall suggestions:

• Owners of straight hair can choose any type of cascade haircut.
• Girls with curly locks should especially take a closer look at the cascade, since this haircut organizes their curls. Suitable: classic and graduated options.
• Thin curls cannot maintain the texture of the hairstyle due to its structure. Therefore, girls with such hair should choose those variations of the cascade that do not require special texture: double, torn.

Coloring

Cuts like cascades look stunning on naturally light or colored hair. Because dark hair is unable to fully display the layered structure of the hairstyle, brunettes and brown-haired women would be better off going with a cascade with smooth transitions—contrasting ones won’t stand out.

The coloring methods listed below will work well:

• highlighting;
• shatush;
• balayage;
• ombre;
• bright strands.

A versatile haircut that suits a variety of face shapes and hair types is the shoulder-length cascade. Its layered structure gives the hair movement and volume, which makes it perfect for people who want a modern, fashionable look. While going without bangs gives a more open, airy appearance, adding bangs can soften the face and highlight features. The shoulder-length cascade is a stylish, low-maintenance option that works well with a variety of styles, whether or not you decide to go with bangs.

Styling a shoulder-length cascade

Everyday hairstyles

Because it’s easy to style, a shoulder-length cascade is practical, especially for an everyday ensemble.

• Dry your hair by tilting your head down. Direct hot air streams from the bottom up and comb the curls with your fingers.
• Using a brush (round comb), lift the strands at the roots, directing the warm air of the hair dryer there. Stretch the strands strand by strand using a brush, drying them in the process. Turn the ends inward.
• Straighten the hair with an iron, after creating good root volume. Leave the ends straight. Looks especially beautiful on torn and graduated cascade techniques.
