What to Know When Getting a Pixie Cut

Making the move from longer hair to a pixie cut is a big hair decision, one that many people deliberate having for a long time before going ahead and making the change. You may even find that you’re still having doubts when sat in the hairdresser’s chair, but that’s completely normal. Making such a dramatic change to your hair is going to change your look and your style, so you need to know what to expect when going for the pixie cut!

Take it Slow

There are a few different lengths of pixie cut and if transitioning from a longer hair style, you may find that adopting the longer of the pixie cuts is the best option for you. You don’t want to have your hair cut to a really short length and then panic, so work with the longer option first to get used to the length being so different. Once you’re confident with your new pixie cut, you can take it shorter and shorter, whatever you feel will work best for you!

Maintain the Length

It’s no secret that hair grows fast and with a pixie cut, this is much more noticeable. Pixie haircuts can grow out really quickly, which isn’t ideal when you want that short, sharp look. Whilst you may find yourself visiting your local hairdresser more frequently, it wont cost you as much as it would to have your longer hair cut and styled. For those who make the change to a pixie cut and don’t feel it’s for them, you won’t have to wait too long for it to grow out!

Create Your Style

Pixie haircuts are so different to any other cut, so you want to make sure you master how to style the look perfectly. Similarly, you need to ensure you’re using the right styling products for your pixie cut too. Styling your shorter hair may seem challenging at first, as you don’t have as much to work with, but once you get used to the length and style of your hair you’ll find it so much easier to create looks that work for you. When it comes to your styling products, you want to use something like a paste for a subtle sheen and medium hold.

Take Advantage

Having a pixie haircut is going to add so much time to your day. Have you ever thought about how many hours you spend washing and drying your hair, not to mention the styling and hair care routines we all go through? With a pixie haircut, you’ll find it so much easier to get things done. Your hair washing time will be halved, it takes minutes to style and it’s a lot easier to care for it too. Now is the time to take advantage of your short pixie hair and enjoying the extra time you’re getting back!
