Short hair is not a cut that looks good on everyone. Cutting your hair short is a big and bold step! But, if you're not entirely happy with your pixie cut, it's time to learn how to show it off with confidence! The article below will guide you through different styles of the pixie cut.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Style your hair
Step 1. Smooth them backwards
With your hair still wet, comb it all back. Then, take a small amount of the hair product (gel, pomade, wax, etc.) and run it all over your hair, tanning it back and away from your face. This look is great for work or business. Don't forget the hairspray!
Step 2. Style the tufts
If your locks are particularly short, you can take some hair products and style them, similar to Emma Watson's style when she first cut them. You will need to start with dry hair. This style in particular is for casual or everyday looks, but you can use it for other occasions due to its simplicity.
Step 3. Try a faux-hawk
It works especially well if the bangs are short. Simply grab some strong hold hair gel and tinker with the tips. You may also need some hairspray if your gel doesn't hold very long. This hairstyle is perfect for those who are experimenting with different looks, or can be used for those who really want to get noticed.
For a half or partial faux-hawk, do the same pass as before but turn the wisps up to the side. This is hitting the target for those who want to have an edgy look
Step 4. Avoid any "hairstyle" and choose the messy
For a disheveled hairstyle, just do what you want with it! You may need some hair products, or not. The messy look is made for style, and it's designed to make it look like you haven't done anything to your hair after waking up. It's great for a lazy person, because you can be ready to go out in minutes.
Step 5. Get them pointy
Pointed hair is very similar to the previous style, but with more tips and possibly more products. Just fiddle around a bit until you're satisfied. This look is great for anyone who loves the wild look.
Step 6. Try a side tuft
If your bangs are long or growing, you can bring the wisps to the side on your forehead! It is perfect for those who don't like their forehead and want to make it look smaller.
For a different variation on this hairstyle, move the tuft to the other side of your forehead than usual, or put more hair on one side than you normally leave. It adds more volume to your hair than the previous step. And it will also lead people to wonder what you did differently. Sometimes it can completely change your look!
Part 2 of 3: Choose Clothes that Match the Cut
Step 1. Take advantage of your feminine curves
If you tend to have a masculine figure, you may want to wear pants that show off your curves. Skinny jeans are perfect for the pixie. They will showcase all the curves, and the dark shades will make your legs appear smaller and leaner.
Step 2. Wear skirts for a feminine touch
Skirts are perfect for showing off your feminine figure. Skirts also prevent anyone from confusing you with a guy. If you have a pixie cut because you are a little masculine, then wearing the skirt may be a little beyond what makes you comfortable.
Step 3. Go wild with the dresses too
Dresses are feminine like skirts, especially if they are long and flowing. They are beautiful, and in most cases, very sexy.
Step 4. Don't forget some nice shoes
This step won't be particularly important if you've followed all or most of the previous steps. If you haven't, then a pair of flats or heels is perfect for showing your feminine side. It's okay if you don't have shoes like that: plain Converse or flip flops will do.
Part 3 of 3: Using Hair Accessories
Step 1. Invest in hair bands
You can place them behind your ears and just leave them above your head, or, if your bangs are long and annoying, you can pull them back. This look can have a really cute look with headbands that have bows.
Step 2. Get creative with scarves
You can use them just like headbands, but you have more styles available to juggle with. All you have to do is tie a knot and get started.
Step 3. Use bobby pins
If the sides of your pixie are bothering you, you can keep them at bay with a bobby pin. No hair accessory can be simpler.
Step 4. Try the pigtails
If you're growing your pixie, you have the option to get a pigtail out of it. You may need smaller bands than you would use with longer hair, but the result is worth it.
Step 5. Experiment with beanies
They are hats that give a lot of style, and if they are wide and soft at the back, they can give the illusion that you have more hair tucked into the hat. Beanies can be adorable at times!
