A simple and at the same time chic pixie haircut is an ideal choice for business and serious ladies, pretty and mischievous young beauties, sophisticated and elegant ladies, as well as those women who are not afraid of creative ideas and bold experiments with their appearance. Despite the relatively simple technique, the pixie has many variations. What are the varieties of pixies with bangs? What are the ways to style this haircut? What are the advantages of pixie over other types of short haircuts? Let's try to figure it out.
Features
The structure of the pixie provides for the presence of short locks in the temporal part and on the back of the head, while at the top there is a section with elongation. However, it has many variations, since over all the years of its existence it has been modified and transformed in accordance with fashion trends. Pixies can be made on short or medium length hair.
A pixie haircut according to a step-by-step execution algorithm is very similar to a garcon haircut. If you do not know about the intricacies of these hairstyles, then you can completely confuse them with each other. However, an experienced master is sure to understand the characteristic distinguishing features - pixies can be recognized by the presence of the so-called “feathers”, and the garzon, in turn, is done on one side.
For pixies, the shape of the bangs is of great importance. If you want to create a lyrical and pretty look to add femininity to your look, then you need to choose a short bang.A bit of artistic negligence will add an elongated beveled, slightly disheveled fringe. The locks reaching the cheekbones will add a bit of elusive flair to the image, and the classic line will add sophistication and mystery to any image.
Much also depends on the technique of processing the temporal zone. If a woman needs to hide protruding ears or "soften" rough cheekbones, then the whiskey can be made elongated. If you are not afraid of bold and creative images, then you can be advised to simply shave off the whiskey or decorate it with an unusual pattern. The image will be even more effective if you shave only one temple, and the other to lengthen. The same thing can be done with the occipital part - it all depends on your willingness to experiment.
Pixie puts a bright emphasis on facial features, so you have to be much more scrupulous in applying makeup. Regrown hair will need to be shortened periodically, otherwise the pixie will cease to exist. This haircut does not need special care, but it does not even tolerate a faint shade of oily sheen, so you will have to wash your hair often.
This hairstyle is suitable for any hair. It doesn’t matter if your strands are thin or nature has endowed you with thick ringlets.
