Hot Celeb Hair Trend: The Pixie Cut

Posted by Cathy | Monday December 13, 2010

Drawing inspiration from 60s hair icons Twiggy and Edie Sedgewick, the newest It-hairstyle is the polished and pretty pixie cut.

The beauty of a pixie cut is that it won't make you a slave to styling products, gizmos and gadgets. You can add volume or create a piecey look by simply using your fingers. Use a bit of styling wax to hold in place and you're all set!

Some of our favourite celebs are chopping off their lengths and going for boy-short hairdos.

Carrie Mulligan, Emma Watson, Cate Blanchett

The man behind Emma Watson new cut, Rodney Cutler says that most women can wear a pixie as long as the stylist adapts the cut to their face shape. If you have a round face, you can mask the fullness of your cheeks by keeping the sides slightly shaggy. If your forehead is wide, keep the bangs longer and brush them to the side.

Agnyess Denn, Michelle Williams, Maggie Gyllenhall

If you're going for this cut, you will need a monthly cut to keep the shape. But with all the time you'll save on your morning routine, it'll be worth it.

Are you daring enough to go boy-short?

Holy moly, and they say that long hair is hard to manage? Other way around in my case. I love these cuts, but they must be expertly snipped as any mistake would stand out more than in longer styles. @Spotty, I bet you'd look great with a pixie cut!
	on December 13, 2010 Ali de Bold STAFF said: I think these short cuts look amazing on the celebs pictured but I could never pull this look off. I especially like Michelle Williams' hair.
	on December 13, 2010 spotty said: YES! I love these pixie hair cuts. I went short back in February and have been progressively going shorter and shorter. The only drawback is what is mentioned in the article - more frequent haircuts. Another negative is dealing w/ winter hats - your typical winter beanie may make you look like a cancer patient. :-/
