This is a safe yet beautiful bet when your hair is naturally textured and you have been considering going short in the first time.
Blonde Pixie with Sandy depth tapered
This pixie is your favorite fall latte, layered, creamy and a bit toasty. The sides and back are gently tapered and the top has additional length to style. The blonde color is more sandy with a slight root shadow to make it look natural and low maintenance and very flattering on cool or neutral skin tones.
Blondes such as this require a little more tender loving care to remain golden rather than brassy. My secret weapon is a purple treatment mask such as Amika Bust Your Brass Cool Blonde Repair Mask once a week- tones and hydrates simultaneously.
I had a pixie similar to this when I needed to feel free, free of breakage, bad hair days and the emotional burden of ponytails. It was one of the most liberating beauty choices I ever made. It is light, expressive, and never looks accidental.
And what of fall? This haircut and a good pair of gold hoops do more than most outfits.
Punk Texture Electric Indigo
Want to be visible? This crazily colored pixie is a complete dedication to color- think electric indigo, midnight blue, and violet, spiked and layered to give the most visual impact. It has edge with the textured ends, but the shape makes it wearable. It is futuristic, not costume-y, more high fashion than Halloween.
Okay, truth? It is not no-fuss color. You’ll need a color-safe shampoo (I swear by Celeb Luxury Viral Colorwash in Purple) and probably a toning refresh every few weeks to keep those jewel tones alive. However, this will be home to you in case you are a person who loves to express your energy through hair.
One of my good friends went purple last year just to have fun and it led to an entire career change. Hair such as this is not merely hair but a license to be more audacious in your everyday life. And so, you have been dying to reinvent a bit, perhaps now is your time.
This is not a subtle one, but why should fall be dull?
Blonde Ribbons Side-Swept Elegance
Sophisticated, sleek, and a tad bit sexy this is the pixie that can say, I have plans tonight, even when those plans are just a bottle of wine and a book. The trim is silky and clings to the head and the longer side-swept fringe draws the eyes and cheekbones. The blonde ribbons are warm and light in a flattering and dimensional way.
To achieve this sleek texture, use a pea size of Bumble and bumble Brilliantine, which imparts separation and shine without being greasy. And what should you do should your roots grow fast? A great root-touch-up spray such as Rita Hazan Root Concealer will keep everything in order between visits.
I adore cuts such as this one as they are both strong and fragile. You may dress in a blazer and feel boss, or put on a knit and feel romantic. It gives, and it grows out beautifully, which is a triumph to anyone who prefers a bit more ease in his or her styling routine.
It is the haircut that tells you it is luxurious, but never screams to be heard.
Frosted Pixie City Chic
That feeling when you put on a turtleneck and drink something hot and all of a sudden you feel like the protagonist of your own mini-movie? That is the power that this platinum pixie uses. Neat around the ears, slightly feathered at the crown, and perfectly cut to fit the head, it is the sort of cut that makes heads turn in modest, self-confident ways.
Blonde pixies are high-maintenance, but they do not have to be intimidating. I have been obsessed with Amika Bust Your Brass Intense Repair Mask to keep that frosted shine without brassiness. A light matte pomade will also assist you in keeping those layers piece-y without flattening them.
Such bone structure energy is provided by this haircut. It brings jewelry to life, it takes ordinary outfits to the next level, and it basically challenges you to wear red lipstick to brunch. And if you were sitting on the fence about going short this is your signal.
It is also the most practical thing when we move into coat season. No knotty ends, no staticky frizz, no bother. Easy glamour rolled up in your scarf.
Dimensional Charcoal Crop
This is a love letter to texture lovers. This cropped cut has such pleasing depth because of the color of the charcoal ash with the darker undertones. You can see it moves beautifully all those choppy layers piled up in the back make this soft volume that is not too precious, it is just perfectly tousled.
In case you have naturally thick or slightly wavy hair, this is your playground. Just request internal layering to your stylist to eliminate bulk without losing form. And don’t forget the texture spray R+Co Trophy Shine + Texture Spray adds the lift without leaving a residue and it smells like a fancy New York hotel lobby.
I did a version of this a few years ago, and I have to say, it is the most together I have ever felt, even when I was not. There is something about the well-ordered softness that feels like self-care that you can wear.
And this ash-colour? Looks so good on cool and neutral skin tones. It is daring, yet earthy-grey denim on your hair.
Platinum Pixie Side-Swept
It has a kind of cinematic quality to a pixie with that dramatic side-sweep. Add in the cool platinum grey hue and you’ve got a hairstyle that feels like fall in Paris. This is a little longer on top and narrows close to the nape and ears, that contrast is what makes it feel edgy and elegant.
It is one of those styles in which direction and parting alter the entire mood. You may pin it back to be sophisticated or raise it up with volumizing mousse to be more rebellious. To hold and texture, I have faith in K Kerastase Densifique Mousse- light, not gluey, and provides that airy scaffolding this cut needs.
Such a haircut makes you feel a bit more courageous even when you are just walking along the street. And honestly? That is why I adore it in fall. New energy, new profile to your face–it is like a kind of internal reset with scissors.
And in case you are thinking of a change but still want some length to work with, this one is the best of both worlds; the freedom of short hair and the versatility of long hair.
