Among the musical idols of the 20th century, the favorite of millions of people over the years was a fragile, short Frenchwoman whose voice made the souls sob from grief or soar with happiness, and whose appearance became a model of beauty and excellent taste. She remembered us with surprisingly lively brown eyes, a high mold of expressive cheekbones, a small, stubborn, energetic mouth and unchanged hair, stern and unusually feminine, sexy at the same time. Did you recognize the portrait? Of course, Mireille Mathieu and her classical styling "sessun".
Styling history
Haircut "page" has another name - the same "sessun", a classic example of which was the laying of Mireille. The author of it is the French fashion designer Vidal Sassoon. With his light hand and at the filing of Mathieu's hair, she got a second wind. It was with the greatest pleasure that the most famous women of fashion and stars from all over the world adorn themselves. Such a haircut "page" is characterized by a cup-like shape, when the ends of hair with the help of a round brush and a hair dryer are wrapped inside, to the face and neck. The ears are closed. Lush thick bangs are also raised above the eyebrows. Smooth hair is carefully combed and shines with a clean healthy shine. The face, like a painting, is enclosed in an expensive, stylish frame. Thus, the haircut "page" in the performance of Sassoon favorably emphasized not only the silky texture and beauty of the hair, but also the features of a woman's face, attracted attention to the eyebrows, eyes, lips, paid attention to the features of facial expressions. Naturally, the advantages of a hairstyle were first of all enjoyed by women with regular, delicate features, with oval or triangular shapes of faces. However, a little more interesting information. Classical haircut "page" makes us recall the Middle Ages, knight tournaments and young boy pages of noble lords, their faithful squires. It was then that men began to cut their hair in the same way as we used to see them from the star of the French stage. Of course, there were no hairdressers or hairdressing brushes. Therefore, the hair of that time, rather, corresponded to the image of Mikhail Boyarsky of the "Three Musketeers". Then, already in the 20s of the last century, the prerogative of "a-la page" was intercepted by the ladies. Women, actively promoting the ideas of emancipation, have already created their own type of ideal appearance and manners of behavior. In the photo of fashionable haircuts of those years, we can contemplate the skinny, short growth of women, a figure resembling teenagers who feel free in the men's company. Their invariable attributes are cigarettes in brightly colored mouth and short-cut hair "under the page". A new surge in fashion for hairstyles came in the 70-80s thanks to Mireille Mathieu. Quite often it occurs today.
We diversify the classics
Fashion does not stand still, and even the "well-forgotten old" requires some renovation. And if you carefully study different photos of short female haircuts "page", you can see this trend: the length varies from the edge of the earlobe to the shoulders. By the way, this is an ideal option for those girls who think that their ears are somewhat larger than necessary, and therefore they should be hidden. The strands fit still inside, the ends to the face. But with the bob, more and more stylists are experimenting. In addition to traditionally smooth and dense, it is now made asymmetrically oblique, with uneven, as it were, "ragged" tips. The volume of the "page" is in demand to the same extent as the smooth version. To give hair a splendor, hairdressers offer to do coloring, and also use the appropriate mousses and foams, varnishes. In general, the haircut is perfect for thick straight hair, but it is also good for curly, but not curly. By the way, such a haircut, as "bean", is a kind of "page".
