Who would like a pixie haircut
The most harmonious haircut looks on the fair sex with an oval and elongated face. In this case, the strands elongated on the crown add volume and make the image memorable. Round-faced girls are better off avoiding pixies.
The texture and quality of the hair also matter. Thick and straight hair is ideal. However, the variety of variations in execution allows you to choose something interesting for almost every client.
Pixie has no age restrictions. Despite the perky look, a haircut will suit both very young ladies and a lady after 40 years.
The last one she will present is not just a new style, but also a rejuvenation effect for 5 - 7 years. Great bonus, isn't it?
Classic hairstyle
In the original version, a haircut is performed with a mandatory gradation of curls - longer in the face and shorter in the back. There is no highlighting of the bangs. It is also understood that the neck and ears will be open. When laying, the parting is either not used at all, or the option with an asymmetric oblique on one side is selected. In the classic version, pixies can be laid in a few minutes, because the length ranges from 6 mm in the back to 10 cm in the bangs.
Short hair option
Pixie hairstyle for short hair has several variations.
- The first is a change in length in the front region of hair growth. For example, clipping a slanting or torn bangs will be a great addition that will give even more carelessness to the image.
- The second option to change the classic pixie for short hair is a cascade. In everyday styling, it will not be very noticeable, but if you use a gel and a little ruffle the hair on the back of your head, you get a fairly voluminous hairstyle.
- The third option involves staining several strands, often in a chaotic manner. They can be lightened or, conversely, made darker. Brave girls decide on contrasting coloring in exotic colors - pink, blue, purple. You can do this yourself at home.
Pixie haircut for medium hair
Pixies for medium-length hair are even more diverse. Due to the increase in length, it becomes possible to cut a more layered hairstyle. Often, hairdressers resort to mixing different haircuts, as a result of which it is sometimes difficult to distinguish a short bob from a long pixie.
The most popular among girls under 30 years old were pixies with a shaven temple.
A longer top allows you to make smooth styling with mousse for the office, and fun informal ones for parties. You can shave not only the area near the ear, but also the back of the head. Some professional hairdressers will even be able to “draw” any pattern or sign, the main thing is to have a desire and an adequate level of training.
More often than in short hairstyles, in pixies on medium-length hair, variations with bangs are used. You can use any shape you like except a strict straight line, as it looks out of place and makes the whole composition heavier. It is also possible to highlight bangs with dyeing.
Curly Hair Ideas
It is worth clarifying that curly and just slightly curly hair are not suitable for pixies. Moreover, a not very voluminous haircut will look more interesting if the hair is not perfectly smooth. Therefore, a pixie with light careless waves became a fairly popular embodiment.
If nature has not awarded such from birth, you can do it at home using a curling iron. Do not forget that the result must be fixed with gel or mousse. It is also possible to use the varnish, however, due to the short length, the hairstyle may not last long.
Creative styling options
The most interesting looks are pixies on medium-length hair with styling stylized in the 50s of the last century.
- Plain hair is combed under a side part on one of the sides and a smaller part is fixed by invisible and mousse.
- A more volumetric half is given a basal volume and even waviness with the help of a curling iron and also fix the ends with invisibility.
- Fix the created effect with mousse or varnish.
Such styling requires a corresponding frank outfit that will emphasize the individuality of the heroine.
Pixie is a fairly versatile haircut. It can be used by girls of different ages, and styling options allow you to create business or whacky images. Making this hairstyle, a woman chooses comfort and style.
