Frequently Asked Questions
I get asked a lot of questions about rocking a pixie cut when you have thick hair. It makes sense! It’s a big change and you want to make sure it works for you. Here are some common questions I hear and my thoughts on them.
What type of pixie cut is best for thick hair?
Honestly, the best pixie cut for thick hair is one that removes bulk strategically. Cuts with undercuts are fantastic for taking out weight. Layered styles, like a textured crop or shaggy pixie, also work wonders by distributing the volume. Styles that are shorter in the back and sides, like a graduated pixie or tapered cut, help too. It’s all about taking out density.
How do I style my thick pixie to avoid looking bulky?
Product is your friend! Using texturizing pastes or waxes helps to define the layers and control volume. Blow-drying with a diffuser can help manage frizz and give a softer finish. Avoid blow-drying straight down, which can make it look puffy. Sometimes just letting it air dry with a little product is best for thick hair.
Can I have bangs with a thick pixie?
Absolutely! Bangs can look amazing with a thick pixie. The key is to have your stylist thin them out slightly so they don’t look too heavy. Side-swept bangs are a popular choice for thick hair because they blend easily. A blunt fringe can also work, but make sure it’s not too thick. It’s totally doable!
Conclusion
So there you have it! Rocking a pixie cut with thick hair is totally achievable and can look absolutely stunning. Don’t let the thickness of your hair scare you away from this chic style. With the right cut and a few simple styling tricks, you can embrace your beautiful thick hair and enjoy all the benefits of a fabulous pixie. Go for it!
