A Pixie Haircut to Suit You

Victoria Beckham, Audrey Hepburn, Sharon Stone and Rihana look super hot in the short spiky haircuts they sport. With a short pixie haircut you can style your hair in many different ways. It is a very short hairstyle that accentuates the sharpness of your face. It is often cut with short tapered layers or soft angled bangs.

Different hairstyles look good on different kinds of faces. A pixie haircut looks good on angular faces. It softens the contours of the face as it draws attention away from the sharp cheekbones. The busy working woman finds the pixie haircut very convenient as it is absolutely low maintenance. Just shampoo and blow dry and you are ready to go.

When you go to the hair stylist you can tell him if you have any special preference about the pixie haircut. You can get it cut extremely close to your head. Spikes can be left for a different look. You can try the Mohawk style that looks so very hip and happening. You can ask him to leave some longer pieces that can be tied back with a barrette. You can have them at the back, on the sides or as bangs in front of the head.  The bangs left in front are usually not flat and straight. They are layered and spijy. So go ahead and experiment with the pixie haircut.

The pixie haircut is good for summers. Your hair is off your nape. It is short and gives a tomboyish look. You can go for a dip in the pool or swim in the ocean as many times you like without having to bother about drying your hair every time. If you have to go to a frat party in the evening just apply some hair gel or hair mousse and scrunch up your hair and you are ready with a cool new look.

However there are few disadvantages of sporting the pixie haircut. First of all it restricts your hairstyle. You are limited to a few styles only. Getting a good pixie cut is also important as it takes time and experience. Moreover it does not look good on all kinds of faces. You have to have a sharp angular face structure to carry it off. It also needs constant trimming to keep it looking stylish.

So if you feel you can pull off a pixie hairstyle just go for it. Look super cool in the short layered haircut and look bold and yet feminine at the same time.
