Pixie haircuts styling: options and step-by-step instructions

Among the many variations of short haircuts, the most popular is the pixie. This hairstyle allows you to change the image of the mood: the cheeky boy haircut, the romantic styling, the weaving, the volume, the laconic smoothness. It is believed that pixie suits girls energetic, active, who do not want to exploit one image for a long time, prefer to change and create a hairstyle quickly, deftly and without long work at the mirror.

His, as it turns out later, many years of fame, hair has gained with the filing of the style icons Audrey Hepburn. After the “Roman Holiday” film that thundered in its time, thousands of girls wanted to try on this trendy look. Since then, the regiment of fans of pixie haircuts only increased.

A distinctive feature of the pixie - the elongation of the strands at the crown, as well as shortening (sometimes - extreme) at the temples and in the occipital region. But this is a classic version, a standard blank, on which you can experiment, creating all new variations.

• It is suitable for many types of female appearance, but initially the haircut is designed for owners of a thin face with pronounced features. The stylists themselves say that there are faces that need to be opened, not to hide behind a shock of hair, and a pixie haircut helps to make it really thin and capacious.
• It will suit even very young girls who, because of their age, good skin and freshness, can afford to refuse everyday makeup. The older the woman, the more necessary the make-up: at least, most women who choose squeaks have to apply rather bright makeup every day.
• The highlight of the haircut is in the hidden images that the pixies are fraught with. There are a lot of styling options, not even even long hair allows you to create so many quick variations.

The fact that pixies can be so many-sided, eloquently speak such examples as, for example, the haircut of the blogger Elina Modenova. The girl refused to use the hair below the belt in favor of the pixie and shows in her account in the well-known social network why this choice was definitely worth a cardinal change.

There is some confusion in the names: for example, sometimes pixies are called and just separately shaved temples with an impressive overall hair length. But not every haircut with a shaved temple has a pixie. Nevertheless, if you endure the terminology, that is, ultra-short haircuts, there is a standard, but there is with the maximum preservation of length (within a given haircut, of course).

• Short If you make pixies from originally short hair, then you have to spend some time to release the hair at the top as much as possible. Pixie does not look very impressive when there is a bang, if it is, then it is fairly regrown. To create a classic haircut fringe should be at least until the middle of the nose. Otherwise, the expressive hairstyle will not be visible.

• Average. If you have a square or something similar, and the bang has grown enough, it is easier to decide on a pixie - and this length makes it easier for the master. There are options for how to cut: very short, shaving the temples and the back of the head, or still leave the maximum length.

• Long Owners of long curls rarely decide on drastic measures, because at first they can simply shave their temples, see how this transformation will take root. Further, as practice shows, the appetite is played out and you want more serious steps.

Girls with curly hair doubt whether pixies will work for them, if curls will not interfere. The question is solved individually, although to deny that pixie looks better on straight hair is stupid. If the hair does not curl very finely and keeps its shape when styled, then the pixies can be considered. But if on the head that which is popularly called the “petty demon”, you should look at other options for haircuts.

And here the fun begins! At home, without resorting to the help of a stylist, you can make an elegant styling. Consider several options.

Braid freshly washed, still quite wet hair into small pigtails: someone needs 5–6 on each side of the parting, someone can make more pigtails. In this case, pigtails replace curling-corrugation: you can do it with her, but, firstly, not everyone has one, and secondly, it will not improve the condition of the hair.

• Dry the hair in a natural way so that the moisture is barely felt. Next, dismiss the pigtails, dry them to the end. Make a thin comb lightweight rubbed at the roots - no curls, just stuffed.
• You will see how the hairstyle becomes voluminous, and the hair of the face acquires an interesting structure.
• Begin to twist the hair of the face slightly with a cord - more and more a wavy braid texture appears. Keep the volume that you need, loosen or, conversely, twist the harness more.
• Further, from the remaining undistorted strands, begin to weave a braid, braid tightly, so that later it would be easy to let the hair out of a tight pigtail. It should turn out voluminous, and so that the pigtail does not fall apart, fix it with varnish.
• The styling is ready: the hair is voluminous, their texture is unusual, twisted with a braid on the face of a curl look stylish and interesting, and the playful pigtail, like the final point, completes the image. Even the slowest girls will spend a maximum of 30 minutes at the mirror.

Dry the entire long part of the hair so that it lies forward, falling over your eyes.

• Twist the curls a little with the iron - if the long part is on the left side of the face, twist it to the right (and vice versa).
• Hair removed from the face. It is necessary to fix the hairstyle with wax, therefore for a start rub it and warm it in your hands. Your task is to straighten the curls so that only a wavy texture remains.
• Simulate styling, spray sprayed varnish.
• At the very end, you can ruffle your hair a bit so that the hairstyle does not look so strict, but with a little boldness.

It’s not very difficult to do this step-by-step, even for those who previously didn’t do anything more complicated than a tail and a braid with their hair.

Evening hair styling can consist in elegant hair ordering with a light comb on one side. We need quite strong styling products so that the styling correctly fits initially and does not change during the evening. You can even put hair styling with the effect of wet strands - This option is suitable brunettes.

It’s easier to learn successful pixie examples on famous personalities. Stars now and then take on the arms of this already classic image, and often it is this haircut that raises their ratings and creates the necessary associations.
