The Popular Pixie Hairstyle

There was once a day where short hair was not meant for women, but in the 1900s short hair started to become popular among women – especially around the First World War. Women of those times started to become more independent, and every movie actress of the 1920s and 1930s all had short hair. After the short hair era, women began to grow out their hair again, but today short hair has become very popular once again. One hairstyle, the Pixie cut, has been around since the 1960s as actresses and models both wore the style, and from that time until today it has continued to stay in fashion. The pixie has always been around since the 1960s but did not become extremely popular until recently.

We live in a time where women like the simple things, and many of the styles today are fast and easy to apply. Beauty products have become more natural, and hair has become easier to style because women like the throw-and-go method. The pixie is a short boy-style cut that can be styled in different ways, or can just be worn as is (which is why it is popular). The modern pixie is shorn tightly on the sides but has longish bangs, but the cut can be as short as half an inch to three inches. The various styles for the pixie cut today consists of the short pixie shag, the page boy pixie, the classic pixie, the 20s pixie, the geometric pixie bob, and the classic pixie bob.

The pixie is one of the easiest cuts to do, and if you want to cut your own hair with this style you can, but if you want it a certain way it is better to go to the salon. Stylists use both scissors and shears to create a pixie cut, and they first cut the front part of the hair (angled down at the temples), and then go back up just above the ear. Then, the stylist will be cut around the nape of the neck for the back, which then they layer it, cut it to fit around the head perfectly, and then they style it. The pixie is one of the easiest and fastest cuts for a stylist, and because of its simplicity you can do-it-yourself and cut your own hair in this fashion. Over the last couple of years, short became more and more popular because it is easier to handle in the mornings when you are in a hurry, and many women flock to short hair like the pixie because of this.
