A modern textured pixie cut is a short cut that flatters most women’s face shape. It comes in a variety of styles, from sleek and flirty to androgynous.
Missouri-based stylist Janet Biggers points out how versatile a pixie cut is. “It doesn’t matter if your hair is straight or curly; you can still rock a pixie,” she says. “While it works on many hair types, this cut is ideal for fine to medium-density hair.”
Sometimes thick hair can be difficult to manage with a shorter hairstyle. But if you have coarse hair and want a pixie, Biggers explains, “You’ll need to build up a lot of texture to your strands, then leave it long enough so you can use hot tools to help smooth it out further.”
Styling a pixie is quick and easy. “For a longer cut, I use Bedroom.Hair, a texturizing spray that offers strong hold, volume and texture,” she says. “For shorter cuts, I use Night.Rider. It’s a styling paste that offers control and texture when styling with good hold power.”
To maintain the shape of the cut, trimming every 4-6 weeks is vital and shampooing your hair daily is not ideal.
