Styling pixy haircuts: options and step-by-step instructions

Among the many variations of short haircuts, the most popular is pixie. This hairstyle allows you to change the image according to your mood: either a bold boyish haircut, then a romantic styling, then weaving, then volume, then laconic smoothness. It is believed that pixies are suitable for energetic, active girls 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.

Audrey Hepburn acquired her hairstyle, as it turns out later, for many years. After the thundering movie “Roman Vacations”, thousands of girls wanted to try on this trendy look. Since then, in the regiment of fans of pixie haircuts only increased.

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

• It suits 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 hidden behind a shock of hair, and a pixie haircut helps to make it really thin and capacious.
• It is suitable for very young girls who, due to their age, good skin and freshness, can afford to abandon everyday makeup. The older the woman, the more necessary the make-up: at least most of the ladies who choose squeaks have to put on a pretty bright makeup every day.
• The highlight of the haircut is in the hidden images that pixies conceal.There are many styling options, not always even long hair allows you to create so many quick variations.

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

There is some confusion in the names: for example, sometimes pixies are also called simply shaved whiskeys with an impressive total hair length. But not every haircut with a shaved temple is a pixie. Nevertheless, if you adhere to the terminology, that is, ultra-short haircuts, there are standard, but there are those with the maximum preservation of length (within the given haircut, of course).

• Short. If you make pixies from initially short hair, you will have to spend some time to maximize the release of hair on the top of the head. Pixie does not look very impressive in the presence of a bang, if it is, then it is pretty regrowth. To create a classic haircut bangs should be at least until the middle of the nose. Otherwise, the expressiveness of the hairstyle will not be visible.

• Medium. If you have a square or something similar, and the fringe has grown enough, it is easier to decide on a pixy - and even such a length makes it easier for the master. There are options for cutting: very short, shaving whiskey 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 whiskey and see how such a transformation "takes root". Further, as practice shows, the appetite is played out and I want more serious steps.

Girls with curly hair doubt whether pixies are suitable for them, whether their curls will interfere. The question is solved individually, although to deny that pixie looks better on straight hair is silly. If the hair is not curled very finely and keeps in shape when styling, then you can consider pixies. But if on the head what people call the “little demon”, it’s worth looking at other haircut options.

And here the fun begins! At home, without the help of a stylist, you can make a chic styling. Let's consider several options.

Braid freshly washed, still quite wet hair on small braids: for someone, 5-6 on each side of the parting is enough, someone can make more braids. In this case, pigtails replace the corrugation curler: you can do this styling with it, but, firstly, not everyone has it, and secondly, it will not improve the condition of the hair.

• Dry your hair naturally so that moisture is barely felt. Next, release the pigtails, dry them to the end. Make a thin comb with a light comb at the roots - no curls, just comb.
• You will see how the hairstyle becomes voluminous, and the hair on the face acquires an interesting structure.
• Start to twist the hair near the face with a tourniquet - more and more a wavy texture from pigtails will appear. Keep the volume that you need, loosen or, conversely, twist the harness harder.
• Next, from the remaining untwisted strand, begin to weave the braid, weave tightly, so that later it would be easy to slightly release the hair from a tight pigtail. It should turn out to be voluminous, and so that the pigtail does not fall apart, fix it with varnish.
• Hair styling is ready: the hair is voluminous, its texture is unusual, the curl twisted around the face of the curl looks 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, falls down over your eyes.

• Twist the curls a little with an iron - if the long part is on the left side of the face, twist it to the right (and vice versa).
• Remove hair from the face. You need to fix the hairstyle with wax, so to begin with, rub and warm it in your hands. Your task is to straighten the curls so that only a wavy texture remains.
• Model styling, spray strands with varnish.
• At the very end, you can tear your hair a little so that the hairstyle does not look so strict, but with a little insolence.

To do this step by step is not very difficult even for those who previously had not done anything more difficult than a ponytail and braids with their hair.

Evening styling can consist in gracefully arranging the hair with a light comb on one side. We need fairly strong styling tools so that the styling fits correctly initially and does not change during the evening. You can also styling hair with the effect of wet strands - this option suits brunettes.

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

• Agness Dane. The case when it was worth a haircut under the boy, so that the whole world applauds your femininity. Short haircuts really suit the face of a popular model: and the shorter it seems, the expressive unique features of the face of a popular Englishwoman. Many girls, impressed by the blond model, cut their long hair, making pixies “under Agness”.

• Ruby Rose. Another "face of the era." The Australian model and TV presenter does not leave the magazine covers, has more than 13 million followers on Instagram and regularly changes her hairstyles. More precisely, it changes one short haircut for another. With any hair color and any variation of pixie, Ruby looks incredible.

• Keira Knightley For the British actress, a pixie haircut was hardly “that way”, but when she still surprised everyone with such a radical change of hairstyle, they immediately began to compare her with Audrey Hepburn. On Kira, the pixy looks fresh and bold: her expressive cheekbones, chiseled chin and cherry-colored eyes have only become brighter, thanks to a short haircut.

• Anne Hathaway. The Oscar-winning actress is remembered at first sight - huge brown eyes, large lips, a thin nose and a thin face cannot but attract attention. Anne was fond of the viewer by a long-haired brown-haired woman, but when the actress made a pixie haircut, adherents of short hair carried it to their Olympus. And Ann really is coming!

• Victoria Beckham. Always a little ahead of fashion, she knows how to dictate it herself. Once the “chic pepper” has already surprised the world by making a stylish haircut back in the 90s - and with short hair, David Beckham's lover was the cutest and most elegant bride. Over the years, Vicki repeated her experience: first it was a quack for lengthening, and then pixies. With her chiseled figure and brown big eyes, she could be allowed to part with long curls.

• Katya Gershuni. The host of the fashion show about the transformation itself serves as a vivid example of the super-change of her appearance. The audience remembered Katya with a chic haircut.If you have the same elongated face, big beautiful lips, and you also adore glasses in a heavy frame, a pixie like Katya may suit you. A convincing image of a strong, confident and trendy!

• Tanya Tereshina. By how often the singer changes her images, she is compared with Irina Ponarovskaya. Tanya has many interesting stories of transformation, but often fans remember her voluminous pixie. Bright makeup, large earrings, graceful blond - it looked really impressive.

Pixie - a haircut, which every second dreams of, but not everyone decides to try. There is only one requirement: a good face shape. If everything is so, then you can take a chance. The main thing is to find your master, decide on the variation, color, make sure that you are ready for frequent (albeit quick) styling. The experience will be interesting anyway.
