Tips for Styling Your Pixie Cut
When styled well, pixie cuts are edgy, playful, feminine, and cool in the Florida heat! Here, tips and tricks for styling your pixie!
To feminize a boyish pixie cut, keep bangs soft or piecey. Blow-dry bangs to the side using a small round brush. By wearing your bangs soft and side-swept it can minimize a square jaw and make a short cut look less severe. For a wispy effect, flatiron the face-framing sections, then tousle, and separate them with your fingers.
Waxes and pomades are great for getting a piecey texture, all you need is a dime-size dab – be careful if you use too much you could end up with a greasy situation. The trick to keeping your pixie modern and youthful is using products that add strength and texture. That means picking lightweight waxes or pomades and tossing anything you associate with sleekness, like gel or frizz fighters. To get your perfect finish along with a great cut ask your stylist what you should use to finish off that great style!
A little bit of volume can turn a cool cut glitzy—and adding volume is simple. Running a lightweight volumizer, through your hair and gently lifting it up with your fingers as you blow-dry. For even more body, flip your head upside down while you are blow-drying it—the va-va-voom results will make the head rush worthwhile.
Just because you have short hair, you DON’T always have to wear it the same way. Changing the placement of your part can make a pixie feel entirely new.
If your hair is naturally curly, wavy, or thick – tame it with heat. Rub a very small amount of a concentrated serum between your hands and run them through your hair; working quickly in small sections, use a flatiron to smooth them. This works best for style extremely coarse or thick hair, and bonus – the iron adds shine and makes your hair easy to control.
