1. How was Victoria Beckham's hair created? She has a pixie hairstyle cut super short with just a touch of short, wispy bangs to accentuate her high forehead. Her hair has been extensively layered and razored to give a short, chic look that's easy to style and manage. You can just imagine rolling out of bed in the morning and heading straight to the office with this cut looking sassy and chic. Plus, it's a natural for the health club. No need to pull your hair back before exercising. It looks fantastic even with a few beads of sweat on the forehead.

2. Unfortunately, Victoria Beckham's hair isn't for everyone. If you don't have delicate, almost flawless features, this cut may not work. With this much face showing, you're not going to hide a lot of imperfections. Clear, healthy looking skin is also important when you're showing so much face. If acne is a problem, Victoria Beckham's hair may not be the most flattering. Hair texture is another consideration. This cut works best with hair that's fine in texture and shiny with minimal natural wave. It's a look that takes a megadose of confidence. Make sure you're ready to show this much face.

3. Victoria Beckham isn't the celebrity to effectively play up a super short pixie hairstyle. Halle Berry is another fashion icon who looks fantastic with a closely cropped cut playing up her finely chiseled features. In a world where most women hide behind long hair, a short, closely cropped haircut can be a breath of fresh hair on the right person. Other advantages? A super short haircut can show off a chic collection of earrings and accent a necklace placed on a slim, graceful neck.

4. One way to decide whether Victoria Beckham's hair is right for you is to visit some of the free online sites where you can upload a photo and try a variety of hairstyles. Print out some photos of your face with Victoria Beckham's hairstyle and show it to friends. Try on a super short wig at a wig shop and see if you like the look. Keep in mind that a hair style this short can take years to grow out but if you have the face for it, by all means go for it. It's a look that's mega chic on the right person.
