The 'Pixie Cut' is making a comeback! It started in the twenties with women rebels stretching their boundaries of decency with scissors in tow. It's a significant style and even though short it has some versatility, (pumped up with volumizer, slicked down with gel, adorned with barrettes, headbands, flowers). Perfect summer cut and great for those with fine textured hair. Wavy hair looks good with it as well but we have to do a bit more styling to it.
The thing is, I was looking on-line to see what's in now and so many people have labeled any shorter haircut as a pixie. No! So, here it is: a pixie cut is cropped short in the back and on the sides and two to three inches longer in the crown or top of the head. It can also be short all over with longer fringe (bangs) or longer in the swirl to cover cowlicks.
Who does it look good on? A woman with confidence and fine features. High cheek bones, big eyes and full lips are played up with such a sassy style. Think Halle Berry, Eva Pigford and Alyssa Milano. Lots of texture (razor, slide cutting, chunking) comes into play with this type of cut. So, if you dare, (which I say, 'Go for it!') keep in mind that it will lose shape fast. So, trims should be scheduled every four to six weeks to keep it looking best.
Have fun with it. Get some awesome earrings and necklaces, a sassy new color shade, play up your cheeks, lips or eyes with beautiful simple make up. But above all, pair it with a bright smile, confident posture and a genuine personality and you are sure to shine!http://media.photobucket.com/image/alyssa%20milano%20short%20hair/charmed_lover34/Alyssa%2520Milano/Alyssa_Milano77.jpg
