Pixie cut: three different ways of wearing it

HAIR TRENDS

Who says that a short cut can’t be versatile? Here are some styling tips to for this classic look.

Many women dream of trying the pixie cut, but they’re worried about the lack of versatility from such a short hairstyle. In reality, the pixie cut has been iconic for celebrities like Charlize Theron and Audrey Hepburn for a reason: it enhances the eyes and adds instant drama to your look. And even though it's a bold cut, you can still play with the styling to make it more classic or rebellious, depending on what look you’re going for. Here are our tips to give your pixie cut a different spirit every time.

Casual pixie cut

This is the simplest and most feminine way of wearing the pixie cut. Our suggestion is to shampoo the hair and apply anti-frizz conditioner, then dry brushing it into the desired position. No extra products: just the essential.

Punk pixie cut

This super-short cut has a rebel soul. To obtain a “controlled mess”, use gel or strong hold wax. Take a knob of product, rub it with the hands and pass it through the hair lifting some strands to obtain the desired result.

Celebrities wearing this style: Winona Ryder, Kristen Stewart, Halle Berry

Party pixie cut

This look is the most elegant way of wearing the pixie. We often see it at fashion shows and on the red carpet. To make it, use a shine styling product and a fine-tooth comb to set the hair in the desired direction.
