Everything About Pixie Hairstyle

The pixie cut is a very short hairstyle for women, achieved by cropping it in layers with precision cutting, creating a tousled effect. It is a famous cut that has been popular for years and has been a staple since the 1920s.

Another important note is that the haircut is close to the scalp to enhance the shape of your cheekbones and face. Over the years, the classic pixie has evolved into various variations, ranging from a rocker style to a boyish cut.

The pixie cut is not just a haircut; it’s a canvas for your style. You can experiment with different looks, from a sleek and sophisticated style to a tousled and carefree look. It symbolizes empowerment, allowing you to make a statement with your hair, even at formal events, when styled by a professional hairstylist.

Still, if you’re wondering why you’ve had a haircut recently and it only looks great after a week, you can find all the information here, along with tips to enjoy a long-lasting hairstyle.

Why Choose a Pixie Cut?

The pixie cut is ideal for those with a hectic schedule who want to look their best every day. With its distinctive high-fashion style, you can easily showcase your unique personality. While short, you can still style it in different ways, which lessens the styling time in your busy morning routine.

Yet another significant benefit of the pixie cut is that it can also help you transition to gray hair if you want to embrace your natural color, especially if you have previously colored your hair.

Still, is the pixie cut for you? The critical thing to note is that this is a shortcut, and you cannot hide behind this style, like with longer hair.

With a pixie cut, your face becomes the focal point, highlighting your unique features. This style’s beauty lies in its ability to be customized to suit any face shape. Whether you have an angular jawline or a softer profile, we can tailor the pixie cut to enhance your best features.

How Haste Hair Cuts and Styles The Pixie Haircut

Once you have completed the consultation and understand the expectations regarding style options and available maintenance, we will begin cutting your hair.

1. Adjusting The length of Hair

We will first prepare the required materials based on your hair length. For example, if you have long hair, we will first cut your ponytail at your neck to make it more manageable.

2. Dividing Into Hair Sections

When we do a pixie cut, it’s easier to work with your hair in sections, as we work on the top part last. We will separate the top from the rest of your hair. We then start working on your neck to divide the sections evenly and move towards both sides.

3. We Use a Vertical Cut 

We then make a vertical cut, section by section, to create the pixie cut. You will start noticing that your nape will be closer to your head and sides. We achieve this by placing your fingers at a 45° angle from the base to the crown of your head, which increases the volume in that area.

4. Cutting The Top

Once we have completed the side, we will begin working on the top part. We gently lower your top part and start working on the crown. We lift the hair towards your locks, which are already cut at the back. We also separate your bangs, as we will not cut them until these sections are finished.

5. Perfecting Your Bangs

If your hair is still wet, we will use a blow dryer to dry it before cutting the last sections. We will also apply a heat protection product to help prevent split ends and preserve your hair color.

Styling a Pixie Haircut

Once we complete your pixie haircut, it is time to finish it with the proper styling. Your haircut needs some pampering and care to look its best, and we achieve this with the finest styling products.

The styling products will make your hair look sculpted, texturized, and more defined. They give you control and add volume to your hair without adding weight. Still, once you get home and want a longer-lasting look, we recommend using a volume amplifier mousse.

It will leave your hair soft and provide hours of hold.
