Getting a pixie cut takes courage, especially if you’ve always had long hair and you’re getting a chop for the first time in a long while. Sticking to your pixie is a challenge, sure, but as you go along, you’ll find ways to style it and make it work for you. Another challenge when it comes to having pixie cut hair is growing it out. There will be a period of time when your hair would just look awkward and weird in its growing out stage but don’t worry. You can still style it and own it like nobody’s business with these tips and ideas on how to style your pixie cut

  • BRAID IT – your pixie cut may not be long enough for a fishtail ponytail braid but you can always add texture to it by doing little side braids on your bangs or on both sides if you want to go for a more symmetrical look. It will help keep at least your bangs away from your face throughout the day.

  • TWIST IT – can’t seem to get a neat braid on your pixie cut no matter how hard you try? That’s fine. Don’t stress yourself out. Instead of doing a braid, why don’t you do twists instead? You can place these wherever you would place a braid and it would help add texture to your hair as well which is perfect if you have stick straight hair.
