This is one of the most popular short cuts of the moment. Yet entrusting his haircut to the hairdresser by asking him to make this cut, it is to take the risk of ending up with the opposite of what we wanted, if the communication is badly passed. In short, the diving square is far from easy to wear.

The diving square is 10 years old

It has been more than 10 years since the diving square has become one of the most fashionable hairstyles . At the origin of the sudden rise in its popularity? The singer Rihanna , propelled to the rank of international star by her duet with the rapper Jay-Z on the title "Umbrella", piece carried by a very sexy clip in which the young woman sports a square plunging black raven. It was in 2007 . The same year, Victoria Beckham , not yet icon of fashion internationally recognized but simply "woman of" a little bling-bling, also succumbs to the plunging platinum version. It's the tidal wave! Enjoying the return to grace of the short cuts, the diving square is the new it-hairstyle: the celebrities of the moment adopt it, Paris Hilton and Katie Holmes at the head and the hairstyle invades the heads of all the French wishing to try short.

The diving square version 2017

At the height of its popularity in 2007, the diving square continues to make followers. But in 2017, we no longer copy Victoria Beckham and Rihanna: tapered and hyper-degraded cuts have made their time. Finished the locks that fell on the shoulders at the front and the neck (very) discovered. We now focus on light gradients and natural.

  • A degraded microphone . Yes, yes, the short square is hyper trend, if you want to dive, no need to make tons of it as with relatively homogeneous lengths, it is much easier to comb your hair
  • Of the natural . The natural temptation is everywhere: from the curls assumed to the colorations to the discrete reflections, this year one wants the NA-TU-REL! We therefore opt for soft waves or a wavy effect that highlight the cut and avoids giving it a style too rigid.
  • Blur . Feel like a little more originality? We can bet on the asymmetry and the locks (a bit) crazy for an arty look but not too extravagant either.
