Everyone knows that pixie cuts are cute and fun, especially for women on-the-go! However, are you curious about which style to pick, or what products to use? What about the history of the pixie cut? Well, look no further, because we have made a guide with all of the information you need to know before making the chop!
About The Pixie Cut
The pixie cut is described as “a woman’s short hairstyle in which the hair is cropped in layers, typically so as to create a slightly tousled effect.” This cut has been famous for decades, and only gets cuter with time! Many recent celebrities have provided pixie cut inspiration, 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 shorter hair gained some popularity in the 1920s during the “flapper” era, it wasn’t until the 1950s and 1960s that the cut soared in popularity. Stars who were the face of the new trend included Audrey Hepburn, Mia Farrow, and Twiggy. The look has continued its popularity well into the 21st century, where it is a signature style of the modern woman.
Why Choose Pixie Cuts?
So how do you know if it’s right for you? The pixie cut is the perfect look for any woman with a busy schedule who still wants to look her best every day. The cut has a high-fashion, unique look that any woman would love to show off. Although the cut is shorter, you will still have many different daily styles to choose from, and the time it takes you to do your hair during your morning routine will be much shorter!
Find Your Perfect Pixie Cut
The pixie cut is undoubtedly adorable, but if you are transitioning from long hair to a cropped cut, it can be a bit overwhelming. First, Search through Instagram or Pinterest to find a style you think would best suit you. Then, find a hairstylist you trust to make the cut for you. Your stylist will be able to tell what type of cut would best compliment your face shape and help you achieve the cut you’ve been dreaming of. Pixie cuts can range from short to long, with many different layers and styles, so there is a lot to choose from!
