Pixies are all the rage right now, and we can see why: when styled right, they look playful, feminine and cool, and after Hollywood's hair extension boom for years, they're also a breath of fresh air.
Everyone knows that a pixie cut is cute and fun, especially for women on the go, but it's not just the hairstyle itself that's important, but also the look you add to it.
About the pixie haircut
A pixie cut is described as “a women's short hairstyle in which the hair is layered, usually to create a slightly tousled effect.” This haircut has been around for decades and is only getting cuter with time. The pixie cut has been inspired by many celebrities such as Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence and most recently Kaia Gerber.
We see pixie cuts on celebrities, teens, and fashionable adults all the time, but the trend actually started many years ago.Although short hair gained some popularity in the 1920s during the flapper era, it was not until the 1950s and 1960s that the haircut gained more popularity. Among the stars who became the face of the new trend were Audrey Hepburn, Mia Farrow and Twiggy. This haircut has retained its popularity into the 21st century, becoming the signature style of the modern woman.
Why choose a pixie haircut?
How do you know if it's right for you? A pixie cut is ideal for women with busy work schedules who want to look their best every day. This haircut has a daring, unique look that any woman would love to show off. Even though the haircut is shorter, you will have many options for everyday styling, and it will take much less time to do your hair in the morning!
A pixie cut is undoubtedly adorable, but if you're transitioning from long hair to a pixie, it can be challenging. Start by searching Instagram or Pinterest for the style you think suits you best. Then find a barber you trust to cut your hair for you. Your stylist will be able to tell you what type of haircut will best suit your face shape and help you achieve the haircut you've been dreaming of. Pixie cuts can range from short to long, with many different layers and styles, so there's plenty to choose from.
Keep in mind that you will definitely need a texturizing spray that adds texture and volume for the perfect celebrity style. You will also need a gel that creates a textured structure and volume.
A radical hair change has a big impact on your personal style. Many women rely on their long hair to impart confidence and femininity.
Feminine accents in clothes for short hair
Special hairstyles such as bob, pixie or buzz cut can look like a boy's hairstyle. Adding feminine touches to your outfit will help soften the tomboy look. Lace, embellished tops, pastel and bright colors, flowers, fitted skirts and ruffles are all places to start.
When perfecting your pixie style, avoid loose or baggy clothing. Instead, stick to fitted clothing and layered cardigans or kimonos. Stay away from boyfriend styles, as they will only add to the masculine look. If you want to wear a baggy top, pair it with skinny jeans or a fitted skirt. Blazers are another great way to layer and add dimension to your look.
Strapless and shoulderless tops and dresses look great with short hair. A strapless dress allows you to highlight short hair, your neck and accentuate your face.
Large earrings, necklaces and headbands can add a feminine touch and balance the look. Experiment with different decorations until you find what suits you.
Makeup will help you highlight your eyes and facial features, which will be exposed with a short haircut. Bright lips can be the perfect complement.
