A spiky pixie is a very short hairstyle featuring an edgy, piece-y texture. The sides and back are trimmed shorter, with longer layers left on the top or crown area.
Hairstylist Schyler Janner from Kansas City, MO appreciates how this cut is both easy and quick to style. “It uses less product and keeps you feeling cute and trendy.”
One recommendation that Janner would like to share is to ensure that the pixie cut is suitable for your hair type. It should be flattering for your face shape and structure, too.
“When exploring hair ideas and inspiration photos, cover the model’s face with your finger. See if you still admire the haircut,” Janner recommends.
Seek out a stylist who can assist you in making this decision. They should also enjoy creating short styles. “Some stylists hesitate as they aren’t comfortable shaping it,” says Janner.
One downside to spiky edgy pixie cuts is the upkeep. The suggested interval between salon visits is every 3-5 weeks. This still depends on how quickly your hair grows.
Some individuals believe that short hair gives a masculine appearance. What they may not realize is it’s only as bold as your personality.
