To pixie or not to pixie
Tired of spending hours maintaining your lengthy locks? Feeling the heat and would like a cooler style? Why not be daring and go short for spring/summer 2014. Sleek bobs and chic pixie crops have been at the forefront of the fashion catwalks and red carpets this Spring/ Summer season.
The good news is that you don’t need to be a red carpet darling to face the chop, you just need to get the right advice.
Before having the chop here are the top tips on what we think you should consider.
Face Shape
Face shape comes on top of the list; generally a small oval face is best suited to this look. Although with the right stylist/colourist you can have a Pixie designed to suit you.
For example, if you have a square or oblong face shape. An asymmetric twist to the cut will soften the geometry of your face shape. If your face shape is more round, a squarer fringe will suit you more.
Colour
Colour as always, is the ultimate accessory and is essential for the Pixie cut. Colours show off and finish the overall style. L'Oreal's choice this season for Pixie Geldof was a Mocha Blonde root phasing out to a clearer beige blonde.
Texture
Hair texture plays an important role, for instance if your hair is prone to lying flat, a professional volume range will ensure that maximum lift is achieved all day, then our choice to finish the Pixie is a pomade styling product which is perfect for creating volume, texture and versatility.
So go to your stylist, have a picture or two of your dream Pixie (a great place to look for inspiration is Pinterest and Instagram) and with your Stylist's advice and help you will be ready to Rock this Spring Summer It Look.
