Low Maintenance Pixie Cuts
A: Pixie cuts can be low maintenance as you can leave the hairstyle a few months to grow out before having to cut it again. The way that it grows out will inevitably make your pixie cut look unique, but remember that if you wait too long to have it cut again, your hairstyle may tend to look un-kept and unruly. Thus be sure to make a future reservation with you hairstylist every time that you have your maintenance trim.
If you’re more into wispy pixie cuts, have a look at some pictures of Carey Mulligan, Anne Hathaway and Victoria Beckham. The nice thing about keeping a bit of length even with a pixie cut, is that you can style it to suit your mood. You can use hairstyling products to create a wild, uber-modern look (think Pink, Pixie Geldof and even Miley Cyrus), or you can go easy on the spikes and create a more streamlined, elegant look (Keira Knightly and Michelle Williams).
Curly hair can go well with pixie cuts, but you’ll have to get to know your style and the best way to work your hair. Ask your hairdresser advice on this while she’s cutting you hair. Also ask her to style your hair while not blowing it with the hair-dryer, but using your natural curl instead. Watch the way that she uses her hands while she’s styling your hair, and note the technique she’s using. Is she scrunching it, or combing it with the tips of her fingers to create just the right waves? Ask her to explain what she’s doing and why she is doing it and which hair products you will need to emulate the desired effect.
The cool thing about curly hair is that you can straighten it with a hair-straightener to create pointy, foxy styles (Sharon Stone, Pink), or you can wear your curls naturally for a more feminine, laid back look (Rihanna, Halle Berry). The most important thing is to search through hair and fashion magazines or on the web, to find a picture of exactly what you want. This is so that you and your hairdresser are on exactly the same page.
