Pixie Haircut

Pixie haircut is most of all famous for its simplicity, easy maintenance and tomboyish look. One of the first famous celebrities, who sported this hairstyle was Twiggy, British supermodel and fashion icon. Winona Ryder, Halle Berry, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley are also rocking the modern versions of pixie haircuts.

Pixie haircut is usually short in the back and on the sides, with longer hair at the top. Modern pixie hairstyle is often accompanied by long bangs and long hair sections near the top of the head or on the sides. This kind of hairstyle is more versatile. It is easier to create interesting, messy look with longer hair parts, which can be spiked or stacked at the top. To style this haircut you can use variety of products: hair gum, wax, gel or pomade. Be careful to not overdo it, though. Natural is trendy, so instead of wet gel look go for smooth and fun, wispy style.

Pixie hairstyles are very easy to maintain. A good hairdresser should be able to create a cut, which, apart from everyday washing, do not require much attention. Timewise, pixie haircut is probably the best choice for all those women, who lead an active life. Pixie hair cut dries in few moments, so you don’t even have to use the blow-dryer to style it in the morning.

Unfortunately, as always, there is a “but”. Pixie haircut isn’t for everyone. It is one of those hairstyles, which show off your face the most, so you need to have regular face, with nicely defined cheek and jaw line to be able to really rock this haircut and use it to your advantage. Spiked up pixie hairstyles are not recommended for square and long faces, while pixie haircut accompanied by heavy, straight across bangs is the worst choice for triangular, heart and round face shape.
