This beautiful short hairstyle is neat enough for the office but relaxed enough for casual weekends. The honey blonde color with natural-looking highlights creates a sun-kissed effect that's gorgeous and versatile with different makeup looks and clothing colors.
 
The cut itself is a longer pixie that gives you the best of both worlds. We've kept enough length on top to create volume and movement, while the sides are just short enough to keep everything looking neat. The key to this style is the texturizing. We've used razor cutting techniques to create soft, wispy ends that move beautifully and prevent the hair from looking too heavy.
 
What I love about this cut is how it frames the face. The longer pieces in the front can be styled forward for a more dramatic look or swept to the side for something softer. The natural wave pattern in the hair works perfectly with the cut to create tousled texture that looks like you just rolled out of bed looking fabulous.
 
Styling is minimal: just a little texturizing spray on damp hair and scrunch with your hands while air drying. For extra volume, flip your head upside down while blow drying with a diffuser. This style is perfect for someone who wants short hair but isn't ready to go super short. It's a perfect transitional cut.
 
The sophisticated nature of this style comes from the precision of the cut combined with the seemingly casual styling. Every single layer has been carefully calculated to create maximum movement and volume, while the perimeter is shaped to enhance your facial features.
 
What makes this cut so incredibly wearable is how it adapts to your lifestyle. On busy mornings, you can literally get out of the shower, scrunch in some leave-in conditioner, and go. The cut is designed to look good with your hair's natural texture and movement. When you have more time or a special event, you can create more defined waves with a diffuser, or use a curling iron to enhance certain pieces.
