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 classic way of wearing the pixie cut. Our suggestion is to use an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner, then dry brush it into the desired position. No extra products needed, just the essentials.

Punk pixie cut

This super-short cut has a rebel soul. To obtain a “controlled mess”, use a gel or strong hold wax. Rub a nickel-size amount of product in your hands hands and run it through the hair, lifting some strands to obtain the desired result.
