Punked Out Pixie

As a pixie with some serious punch, this fresh take on the classic cut boasts feminine details and phenomenal texture. This tapered nape blends up into soft swirls of hair that frame the face beautifully. Add some small highlights throughout the top to make the color pop and shine.





How To Style:

1. Blow dry your hair right out of the shower with your fingers pulling and pushing hair into place.
2. Blow dry bangs down, not back or the short hairs in the front will stick straight up.
3. Take a pomade or hair wax and push hair towards the front and then flick up until you get the look you want.

Recommended Hair Products:
Pomades and hair waxes are super easy and fun to work with. Try Prive’s Detailing Pomade, then spray with a hairspray for extra hold if you feel you need to.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Pixie haircuts looks fabulous on most face shapes. If you have a rounder face shape, make sure you style your hair up to help make it look more oval. Extremely curly haired girls may be able to pull this off with the right styling tools but the cut is recommended more to medium thickness hair with a slight wave
Tip:
Don’t be too meticulous when styling. After positioning the bangs have fun with the top pieces. Messy can be cute!
