His own name reveals it, the clavicle It is a collarbone length hairstyle. It is one of the trends for this summer of 2022 that promises to add volume and restore the natural shine of our hair. Best? It’s a trend, it favors all types of faces, it stylizes, rejuvenates and makes you look taller.
The clavicle has arrived to take over from the court Bob that has dominated the past few seasons, however, is not very different. Just a little longer, it retains that sloppy air that is characteristic of the Bob but with an asymmetrical key because the front rests on the collarbones. It provides movement and can be done on any type of hair, meeting its needs: adds volume to fine hair and lightens the most voluminous hair.
A comfortable hairstyle, easy to comb and the perfect length to wear on its own or tie into a ponytail. In addition, the layers give extra light to highlighted hair.
How do you get volume with a cut below the collarbone?
There are many types of cuts that add volume as they always depend on the type of texture the hair has. Alberto Sanguino, an expert from Llongueras, explains that “a technique we have in Llongueras is a zigzag or star-shaped partition in the upper part. That partition is always shortened to build volume. This is something you can give him in any size whether it’s below or above the jaw.”
Carlos Fernández, a professional at Franck Provost salons, calls it “the safety zone or imaginary line”, that top part where we start layering, creating movement, subtlety, relief and a sense of great volume. It guarantees that the rest of the hair that falls towards the collarbone will have density.
This is how the layers are cut to get a lot of volume
“If there’s a lot of volume, what we do is the same thing, just lower that imaginary line and instead of making it circular, we’re going to make it zigzag,” says Fernández. “I do not recommend that the shortest layer is above the tip of the nose on any hair type. The rest of the layers go in gradient, from shorter to longer.
The layers are based on the skull and the desired volume: do you want the highest volume, on the side, with a more horizontal or more vertical programming. “In general, a horizontal scheme is better for long ovals and vertical for round ovals,” says Sanguino. What’s important with these kind of layered cuts is that they are subtle.
‘Clavicut’ for fine and curly hair, that’s how it’s worn
It’s a cut that can happily be adapted to any type of hair, be it fine, curly hair, with or without volume. Sanguino confirms: “If you have a lot of hair, you make that star wider and bigger and you blur the layers more. If you have little hair or a little fine, you have to make it narrower, but it also works very well for you.”
With fine hair, it is important to ensure that the hair has density at the level of the collarbone. For curly hair, that star or zigzag that the layers are made with to add volume should be very pronounced. It is also best to cut the hair dry as the wet curl changes a lot and is not the same length as dry. “It is usually worked on by creating a textured or multi-size technique at the tip to multiply the curl, creating false internal layers,” explains the expert.
The length should not exceed the collarbone
It’s a type of cut that gives volume, no matter what length you are, as it can be adjusted by connecting the zigzags of the layers. However, Carlos Fernández of Franck Provost points out that it is important that the cut does not exceed the collarbone, as it is a standard size, not too short and not too long, perfect for those who no longer dare to cut it or even leave it longer . †
How often should you cut it?
The experts at Llongueras and Franck Provost agree: we should visit our beauty salon every month and a half or at most two months, because no matter how little we cut, we will always restore the hair, giving it a fresher look and volume of the high areas lost with hair growth.
However, they repeat that it always depends on the type of hair. Fernández goes further by emphasizing the need to avoid razors when they are fluffing the hair. It is preferable to work with a scissor tip with cuts from the outside in to get a better result.
