EXAMINING THE PIXIE CUTS

Style stars like Victoria Beckham and Rihanna have shown us just how the pixie cut is to be worn. With short, textured pieces, this hair style shows off beautiful cheekbones and a great neckline; both of which Rihanna and Victoria Beckham have. If you have been anxious to chop your locks off to mimic the look of either of these stars, then think twice. The pixie cut works best on those with petite features or women who are tall and thin. If your face is round or square-shaped, I’d avoid this cut and ask your stylist to do something else instead. However, if you are petite or have great bone structure, go for it!

GET VICTORIA BECKHAM’S PIXIE CUT Posh Spice (aka Victoria Beckham) has shorter strands every time you turn around. The shortest she has gone is her light brown pixie cut, which works perfectly with her slim figure and beautiful bone structure. If you have a similar petite figure like Beckham’s, then this cut is perfect for you. You can also pull this style off if you have a slim oval face. To get this style, ask your hair stylist for a pixie cut with texturized pieces all over. This hair cut is a cinch to style, just add some texturizing paste like Short Sexy Hair’s Frenzy Texturizing Paste to the tips of your fingers and texturize away. The choppier it looks, the better. See how simple the pixie cut is to style?

GET RIHANNA’S PIXIE CUT WITH BANGS Rihanna shows off a sexier pixie style with long angled bangs and layers. This gives a rock n’ roll edge to the hair cut. Naturally straight hair works best for this style, although if you have the time, you can flat iron it for the same effect. Ask your stylist for a modified pixie, by making the front and sides longer and angled. To style this, work a straightening balm through damp strands. We like Alterna’s Hemp Straightening Balm which works well on both fine and thick textured hair. Blow dry with a paddle brush and if you have curly locks, flat iron for a super-straight look. You can finish the look by spraying a spray shine all over hair. Try Got 2 B’s Dazzling Shine Spray for the shiniest style.

Keep in mind that not everyone was meant to have a pixie cut, but you can modify the style like Rihanna did to suit your face shape and personal style; just ask your stylist for his/her opinion before you do anything drastic!
