How to Curl a Pixie Cut
A pixie is the perfect example of a low-maintenance haircut. It is cropped on the sides and back so the hair is 1 to 3 inches long. The hair is sometimes cut just as short on the top as on the sides, with no bangs. Another type of pixie hairdo is 3 to 4 inches long on top, with or without bangs. To be able to add curls to your hair, it must be at least 2 or 3 inches long on top. Learn how to curl a pixie cut and enjoy your sassy hairdo. Does this Spark an idea?
