How to choose?
Nowadays, when using modern self-care products, choosing the right wardrobe, women at the age of 55-57 do not look elderly at all. The haircut plays an important role here. If you choose everything correctly, then even 60-year-old women can be made into modern beauties.
"Pixie" is one of those hairstyles that, at the suggestion of a stylist, help to hide age-related imperfections: wrinkles on the face or neck, or slightly sagging skin. Therefore, you should carefully approach the choice of a master. You also need to take into account that haircut has options and you can choose the most suitable for a particular type of hair and face.
By hair type
More often than not, hair becomes thinner and more brittle with age. Of course, with the help of proper care, they can be restored a little, but it is unlikely that it will be possible to return the previous volume. In this case, such a hairstyle as "pixie" will help to make the appearance better. For soft and fine hair, it will be a real salvation. After all, combining short and long strands, you can make your hairstyle very lush and beautiful.
For proper styling, you don't even need to use any additional funds.
There are several modifications.
- A pixie cut similar to a garcon is preferable for not too fine hair. Ideal for those women who do not know how to sit still, they have absolutely no time to regret their age.
- Now the trend is such a variation of the hairstyle as "pixie bob". Most often it is made one-sided, in this case one side is cut off, and an asymmetrical and slightly elongated bang is made on the other. In the double-sided version, the whiskey is shortened immediately on both sides, the bangs can remain quite long.
- The cascading pixie cut is suitable for all hair types. So, for example, thin hair will become more voluminous, but thick and unruly hair will lend itself better to styling. This technology will refresh the facial features, as well as hide all the imperfections.
Among other things, these haircuts allow women to remain attractive in any situation. Even with wind and rain, the hairstyle will not suffer too much.
By face type
The hairstyle must be chosen according to the type of face.
- If the face is round, the hair should not be cut too short. They should not be shorter than the cheekbone line. But on the crown, the hair should be made as voluminous as possible.
- With a long face, it is best to use a haircut with long bangs and a completely flat nape. In this case, the less voluminous the hairstyle, the better.
- For women with a square face, clear cheekbones and a wide jaw, “pixie” with bangs obliquely is suitable. This will help distract attention from both a very wide forehead and cheekbones.
- If the shape of the face is trapezoidal, then in the area of the temples the haircut must be voluminous. This technique will visually enlarge a narrow forehead.
It follows that a pixie haircut is suitable for any woman. The main thing is to choose the right hairstyle for your face type.
A professional stylist can help with this.
How to stack?
Women's hairstyles are quite diverse and require care. However, here the pixie haircut stands out favorably. After all, such short-cropped hair is easy to style.
- If you take the hipster version of this hairstyle, then to form the desired styling, it will be enough to apply a little foam, and then tousle your hair with your hands. This style is suitable for a work meeting, and for going out with friends, and for meeting with children and grandchildren.
- If you want originality, you can also apply foam to the curls, but instead of tousling your hair, you need to curl it with an iron. The styling will look very beautiful and elegant.
- For petite women with a boyish figure, you can create a sleek hairstyle. It can be supplemented with some accessories. Hairpins and any bandages are suitable for this. Such styling will help women in 50 years to seem more flirty. You can use it both for going to work and for a festive occasion.
