True Little Black Hairstyle, the square or square (or “bob” for English speakers) continues to seduce generation after generation. Timeless, it knows how to reinvent itself and its variations are numerous, which allows it to maintain, year after year, its title of most requested haircut in the salon. THE long square, with its collarbone-tickling lengths, is its most flattering shape. It’s very simple, it goes to everyone! Damien Boissinot, studio hairdresser (vogue, rhythm, Harper’s Bazaar) and hairstylist René Furterer, analyze for us this style adored by stars and unknown beauties.
What is a long square?
According to Damien Boissinot, who cut his teeth at Jean-Marc Maniatis and who regularly officiates as purser at fashion shows, “ the long square is a variant of the classic che square it starts from the middle of the neck and almost reaches the shouldersor even exceeds a little below “.
The cut is done on wet or pre-moistened hair and is done with long blade scissors to limit the number of strokes and ensure a smooth and clean result. Layering and/or bangs can then be done to nearly dry lengths.
What face shape is the long bob suitable for?
The long square is a particularly flattering fit suitable for all body types:
It also goes well with long faces, which it balances, with round faces, which elongates, and with emaciated faces, to which it gives volume, explains the professional.
The square, whatever it is, is a character cut, and more than a question of the shape of the face, it is above all a question of personality. It must be carried head-on.
What are the variants of the long square?
The long square can be worn whole but can also be layered and/or embellished with a more or less long, thick or tapered fringe. It can also be more or less deep and show asymmetrical lengths.
