Short shaggy crops are fun and playful, and can be worn so many different ways! Depending on your styling routine, you can wear a pixie elegantly, edgily, or softly. I’m going to show you several different ways to wear your short cut and different styling techniques to prep your perfect coif.
Let’s start by assuming you have a finger length pixie cut, or perhaps a bit longer. Like this:
This model has a slightly messy, yet dressed up look. You can do this by using a product that has some shine to make it look polished, or a product with a matte finish for a more casual look. I like to use AVEDA’s Texturizing Cream to create piecey-ness and then finish with the Light Elements Smoothing Fluid to add some glossiness.
To wear your short look for a more sophisticated event, create a side part when the hair is wet. Beforehand, towel-dry and apply a gel like Confixor, and then comb through. Like this:
Let’s say you want to get a little crazy and spice up your image. Maybe you’re bored and ready for a change. You can use a product that has maximum hold to edge up your look and go punk! AVEDA’s Shaping Wax, Grooming Clay, and Control Force are a few favorites of mine that leave your hair with stand up results!
There is no reason to feel boxed in by your pixie cut! The short length makes it easy and quick to experiment with endless ways to style! And don’t be afraid to get a little messy!
