How to Get a Pixie Cut Hairstyle

Consider the variety of pixie style haircuts available today before you go to a stylist. The pixie hair style has become a generic term for any short, layered cut, so you have more choices than you've ever had before.

Instructions

1. Look at your facial features and decide what you like the best. Choose a pixie haircut that highlights that feature. For example, choose a soft wispy bang to draw attention to your eyes.

2. Take the shape of your face into account. Go super short and sleek if you have a heart-shaped face. Opt for a side part and a bit more length if your face is oval or round.

3. Ask for textured layers to help fine or thin hair hold its shape and look thicker and fuller. Consider thinning your hair if it's super thick to avoid a helmet look with a pixie hair cut.

4. Find a photograph of the pixie haircut you want and take it with you to the salon. Look through fashion magazines and hair style magazines, or find a picture of your favorite celebrity haircut to show your stylist.

5. Discuss your expectations with the stylist before he cuts your hair. Explain how you'll part your new pixie hair cut and how you'll style it to get a haircut you'll be happy with.
