What is a pixie cut?

The pixie cut is a variation of the ultra-short hairstyle, with the key difference being its length. Pixie cuts are shorter, usually above the ears, and resemble more masculine styles, exposing more facial features. This cut emphasizes the lightness and texture of the hair, making facial features appear more pronounced, hence the name "pixie cut."

Am I suited for a pixie cut?

Professional hairstylists excel in tailoring hairstyles to suit individual face shapes. AG believes that pixie cuts can complement all face types, with the hair on the sides and bangs playing a crucial role. He evaluates based on four key factors, offering personalized cuts to enhance each person's unique features.

Face shape

For round or square faces, AG recommends tucking the hair behind the ears and pairing it with a deep side-parted long fringe. This helps expose some forehead and face sides, elongating the face. For diamond-shaped faces, where the concern is the hollowing of the cheeks, AG suggests keeping the hair length about 1-2 cm below the cheekbones and opting for shorter bangs for the best balance.

Neck Length

AG emphasizes that a beautiful short haircut must be tailored to neck length. For those with long, slender necks, more length is left at the nape, while those with shorter necks benefit from a shorter cut to enhance proportions.

Head Shape

AG adjusts the layers to add volume, especially for flatter occipital areas, by increasing the layer height and adding a slight curve to create fullness.

Hair Volume

Pixie cuts suit those with less hair, but AG can adjust thick hair to prevent it from looking too heavy, making it work for all hair types.

Situations where pixie cuts may not be suitable include not dyeing hair and having natural curls.

Keeping natural black hair can make the style look heavy, losing the desired lightness and texture. While natural curls can be corrected with straightening, this may reduce the fullness needed for a pixie cut. AG suggests that lighter hair colors like pastel brown, platinum, or milk tea shades are better for showcasing the airy and refined look of a pixie cut.

If you're not comfortable with bleaching your entire head, you can opt for partial highlights instead. Pairing black hair with clean platinum or milk tea highlights can also create a stunning look.

How to transition out of a pixie cut?

If you're transitioning from a pixie cut to longer hair, AG recommends gradually growing out the layers. Start by reducing the layer height from a very short cut to a blunt bob, and then let it grow past your shoulders. To manage the awkward phase of the transition, AG suggests perming the hair to keep it neat and reduce styling difficulties. This helps smooth the process of growing out your hair.

Pixie cuts typically have layers at the occipital bone, and growing them to the nape takes over three months. AG recommends that clients aiming to grow out their pixie cut return for a trim every 3 to 6 months to maintain shape. Additionally, learning to trim your bangs at home can help keep the overall style in check.

How to style a pixie cut?

Maintaining the pixie cut requires strategic styling, as AG explains while demonstrating blow-drying techniques. The hair is divided into front and back sections at the ear. The front section should be blown forward with the head lowered, using the blow dryer to direct the hair forward. This helps prevent the hair from flipping back when tucked behind the ears, which is common with pixie cuts. The back section can be blown backward for a balanced finish.

AG emphasizes the importance of drying the roots completely to maintain volume and prevent bedhead. If creases appear the next day, lightly dampen, blow-dry, and use hair oil for a smooth, Japanese-inspired look. On less messy days, simply use a round brush to create a sleek curve.
