The Pixie Cut is a modern haircut that marks the latest hairstyle trends. It is part of the short cuts, but it is suitable for those who love casual , practical and functional looks , without sacrificing elegance.
In this article we explain who the pixie cut is good for based on the type of face and how to comb your hair to have a practical and always perfect hairstyle . We also show you many pixie cut pictures and photos of the stars from which you can get inspiration.
The pixie cut is the short bob par excellence. It was born in the 1950s and since then it has continued to be one of the most requested and preferred short cuts also, and above all, by the stars. Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday" was the first to show it off becoming a real icon.
Following her, actresses and models of the caliber of Mia Farrow , Twiggy, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Katy Perry and Goldie Hawn . Last but not least was Lady Diana who thanks to the hairstylist Sam McKnight , in the 90s cleared the concept of "short", giving the cut an elegant and extremely refined air. We also admired it on Rihanna , who thanks to her charm has been able to bring it back into vogue, determining a real trend.
The pixie cut literally means " cut pixie " because our imagination sees the foliage of goblins, tend to short, disheveled and jaunty. The pixie cut is basically a very short bob .
This particular short cut sees the side areas of the head and the nape at the limit of shaving, and then sweeps across the top with variable lengths depending on the result we want to achieve and our hair type.
It lends itself well to being made on both straight and curly or wavy hair and is always very versatile and practical. It is certainly one of the most popular and always very trendy short cuts .
The pixie cut haircut can be made on any type of hair, this is one of the reasons why it is one of the most wearable and versatile cuts you can choose from. We report some examples so that you can take a cue.
The pixie cut is particularly suitable for use on wavy hair or short curly hair . The curly pixie cut allows you to make the hair considerably more practical and manageable.
It becomes very special if we decide to bring the lengths behind the nape to give more volume , all after having ruffled a delicious bangs !
The straight hair make the pixie cut stylish and very refined. Also in this case you can indulge yourself by playing with contrasts, where the fringe is replaced by a side tuft and where the sides of the head are characterized by extremely short , almost shaved hair .
A touch of class is represented by a line which is also the side that will see the nape smooth or messed depending on our character. Green light to different pixie cut hairstyles , here are the images to be inspired.
Short hair is the centerpiece of the pixie cut. In this case we are talking about very short pixie cuts that are beautiful to wear uncombed . Short hair pixie cuts require special attention to the cut that must be frequent because hair growth can make you lose the chosen styling. To comb them are very useful gel, foam or lacquer .
When we talk about long hair and pixie hair cut we mean a length of the hair that does not extend beyond the earlobes. In this way the hair stylist intervenes on the lengths, modeling the hair according not only to the type of hair we have, but also to the result we want to obtain.
Having a little longer hair offers the possibility to play, to shape the medium pixie cut making it more disheveled, with the possibility of ranging between extremely smooth ridges or tufts fixed laterally with waxes and gels. The scaled pixie cut is among the most requested and appreciated by celebrities.
The pixie cut is the classic haircut for many, but not all . It goes perfectly with oval and regular faces, while it is unsuitable if the features are angular and the face is particularly square. Attention also to the pixie cut for round face. Let's see in detail who the pixie cut is good for based on the physiognomy of the face.
Pixie cut oval face: it is the ideal condition to make this cut, able to enhance the somatic features making the final result harmonious and elegant.
Pixie cut round face: in this case the cut tends to further round the face, risking making it less harmonious and creating the 'big face' effect.
Pixie cut square face: totally unsuitable as it would inevitably tend to further highlight irregularities, highlighting any defects, such as a nose that is too important.
Triangular face pixie cut: making this type of cut is possible if the locks are extensively thinned following an oblique direction (scaled pixie cut, asymmetrical pixie cut). Bringing the locks forward the face is harmonized and elegant.
Long face pixie cut: possible but only if the hair is wavy or curly and able to create volumes which in turn give greater width to the face. Or you can create a pixie cut with a fringe or long tuft which, by covering the forehead, makes the face optically less long.
And what about hair color ? Blond pixie cuts are beautiful but also brown, black or red pixie cuts. Not only that, for this type of cut even the most extravagant colors , such as purple (now ultra violet hair are in fashion ), pink or white / gray are very suitable . In fact, short hair is what best lends itself to bleaching and frequent color changes. If in doubt, before making a tint, we advise you to use a coloring shampoo that has a temporary effect and allows you to take a test.
The pixie cut is a practical and easily manageable cut that allows you to significantly reduce the time of both drying and styling . Since it is very short hair , it is simply necessary to touch up the hairstyle periodically to maintain the ideal length.
The hair can be freely modeled with specific styling products and in addition to this, it does not require maintenance that goes beyond our usual haircare routine.
The close-cropped cuts are hard to attain this we must rely on the expert hands of the hairdressers. If you are curious to see how a short cut is done, you can find out by looking at pictures and tutorials in our article on how to cut hair yourself .
