Something about it is subversive, the way one decides to cut his hair short in the middle of winter. Perhaps it is the fact that a tight-fitting shape seems more distinct where it is thrown against a backdrop of wool and leather, or the fact that it allows your cheekbones to shine in cold airy light. Juicy textures, icy hues, and sculptural forms are the new definition of femininity this season, with 20 gorgeous winter pixie cuts proving that they are very aware of who they are.
But what sort of pixie are you in the humour of to-day? Sleek and French? Playful and textured? Or a well cut bob-like cut that is yet to move with you? The following are some of the styles that I found breath taking in the season, and they all are easily wearable and are all-time stylish. Ready to find your next cut?
Velvet Espresso Pixie
This appearance is as liquid-sophisticated. The rich brunette color is deep and dimensional, and has a light reflecting polished espresso. The architecture of the shape is short, tight, and a little curved at the temples, which frames the face precisely as an architectural structure. It is the type of pixie that works well with structured blazers, or gold jewelry, in which straight lines intersect silent authority.
To maintain the look, I would suggest a smoothing serum to add the shine such as Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil that would not make the fine layers look greasy but rather sleek and well-maintained. Frequent cuts after every four to five weeks are important in this; once it is no longer cut in a certain way the form loses its grace.
My favorite aspect of this cut is that it speaks of luxury, but not attempting to push it too far. It is power dressing to your hair and this is what Aespa has shown us this year, that minimalism can still have a statement to make.
Silver Birch Sweep
The second fashion is a gentle, sweeping pixie-bob mix-a must on one who is moving into shorter pastures. The blonde is not icy but creamy, which brings coziness on the cold winter palette. The thin layers in the front provide natural volume and dramatic frame the eyes, whereas the back tapers in order to give it a natural volume.
The latter lives off motion, and therefore texturizing sprays such as the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray are your new best friend. One can ruin it within seconds and make it messy and unkempt before going out. It is also a good match with a black tank or a turtleneck an excellent choice of outfits to be worn in a transition-layered outfit.
I love the fact that this style puts you in the best of both worlds: it is as sure as a crop but as fun as a bob. It is romantic, contemporary and so simple to customize with hats and such urban strolls.
Frosted Vanilla Crop
Strauss, straight and no apologies cool, this platinum pixie is light and contrast all the way. The side detail makes it slightly French-girl, which softens the cut which otherwise is bold. It is not too serious but not too childish it is stylish enough to be worn by any person who needs a post-holiday recharge.
Bleach requires a little additional care during winter and hence I would always rely on Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate to regain strength and shine. You know, it saves your hair when your hair has been dry because of frost and flat irons.
This cut has something cinematic about it-somehow it reminds me of a morning coffee in a minimalist loft, some jazz playing in the background, and that sense of freshness.
Modern Muse Pixie
This brown-haired cutie with the sweet bangs makes one feel the type of silent glamour that will never have expired. The frontal fragments flutter over the forehead creating an edge and smoothness balance. It is light and simple to wear, simple to do and simply elegant- one of the 20 beautiful looks that is never out of fashion.
As a way of maintaining the movement, apply a pea-sized portion of Kerastase Discipline Fluidissime Spray. It also gives it that salon-level finish without making the strands hard to touch.
Whenever I encounter such a pixie, I consider that the fashion can speak more than it speaks. It is assured, elegant, and up to anything- candlelight dinners or morning approaches in huge sweaters.
Spiced Copper Rebel
At last, this copper pixie flashes winter through the snow like a spark. Combining the spiky texture with the orange-red richness, it is bold, self-assured and undeniable that it is playful. It belongs to the woman who has no fear of making heads turn- and, actually, that is exactly what a good hair cut should achieve.
Such color grows well in a moisty environment. I will use Pureology Hydrate Soft Treatment in order to freeze pigment and avoid fading. Having a bold color, the maintenance is more than just the maintenance, it is a ritual.
This sign is your sign in case you have ever desired to recreate yourself in the middle of the season. Since sometimes, it only takes a courage to make all the difference.
City Noir Pixie
It is a reduction that is the personification of confidence. It has the sleekness of a modern interpretation of the traditional gamine figure, being short, sharp and sleek along its edges. The deep espresso color combined with those bold lines instantly gives a high-end product-the one that will be ideal to wear throughout the winter days when one has to move between glass towers and late dinner bookings. It is the type of pixie taking up all of the rooms without having to even attempt.
I prefer to keep it with a light pomade – Oribe Fiber Groom Elastic Texture Paste makes it greasy but not oily. To be really just out of a shoot smooth, then you want to put your hands through when the hair is still a little wet.
It is classic meets contemporary immediately, paired with gold hoops and minimalistic satin to the top. It is evidence that there will be occasions when simplicity will speak volumes in a season where everything is overboard.
Velvet Edge Crop
It is the pixie that is both tender and forceful-a combination of fine layers and sharp definition. The rich, black color casts out the glow in the skin, and the soft asymmetry gives a hint of flirtation. It is sophisticated and not stiff, ordered, and yet somehow wild along the lines.
