Today, working women do not find time to style their hair. Due to this, they mostly prefer their hair to be shorter. There are a lot of short hairstyles that you can wear if you want to avoid spending much time in styling, and one of the best hairstyles that can be worn by busy women is a pixie haircut.
Pixie is a style where hair is cut till the ear and close to the scalp.
This is why it is also known as a face-framing hairstyles. This hairdo looks cool when it is made on silky, straight, fine, or patterned hair. Some may even say that this is a boyish hairdo.
You might have seen several female celebrities sporting this hairstyle with variations. Some of the most well know personalities to sport an pixie haircut are Rihanna, Keira Knightly, Katie Holmes, Sharon Stone, Victoria Beckham, and many others.
Advantages
The main advantage is that this haircut can be styled in just a few minutes, without you spending much of your time in front of the dressing table. In addition, it is also very easy to maintain. Any of the very short haircuts will certainly take less time for styling; the hair can simply be styled using bare hands.
Since the hair is trimmed short, this is a good hairstyle for wearing in hot summers. There is no need to wash and condition your hair everyday, which can result in healthy and nourished hair. If you want to add a bit of style to your hairdo, you can use hair gel or hairspray and set your hair in different patterns as per your preferences.
Pixie Haircut with Bangs
Bangs play a very important role in contributing to the style of pixie haircuts. They can be set on these hairdos any way you want, but the most prominent one is side-swept bangs.
If you want to create a punk haircut, you can opt for choppy fringes with some hair coloring. You can even let some of the choppy fringes fall over the face and the eyes, which is a style notably flaunted by Rihanna. Baby bangs can be used if you want to set your hair up using hair gel, much like a spike cut.
Variations
If your strands are curly, these haircuts can be made by straightening the hair. A long haircut can serve well for a corporate look and also an emo look. A different variation this haircut is an emo-pixie hairstyle, in which the side hair grow beyond the ear level and is styled in a choppy manner.
You can keep the hair on a typical pixie hairstyle relaxed or set it right up with hair gel.
A pixie cut is not at all a good option for women who have a square, rectangular, or round facial shape. It is mostly suited for women with a good facial bone structure and a fine jawline and cheekbones. The downside is that you may have to go to the hairstylist very often to keep the hair length appropriate.
