How to choose?
Despite its versatility, this haircut needs to be adapted to the features of your appearance. Two main factors are taken into account - features of the face contour and hair type... To understand who the pixie suits best, it is worth considering all the options and finding your own.
By hair type
The decision to make an original haircut for long hair is often taken by women, whose hair does not differ in particular splendor. Thin strands after 40 years lose even more in volume. This is where the use of pixie gives an excellent result, creating the desired effect. The torn character of the strands, different lengths, asymmetry allow you to adjust the haircut line, make it more lively and expressive.

Whoever does not suit the options for elongated and cropped pixie hairstyles is the owners thick hair.
For them, a complex graduated or voluminous haircut is categorically unacceptable.
By face type
Restrictions on the use of pixie haircuts exist only for owners rounded or rectangular face... But here, too, the elongated version of the hairstyle works wonders. Correctly chosen direction of the strands framing the face, a fluffy whipped head, oblique long bangs - these are the elements that will help balance heavy facial features.
There is a pixie in any performance for miniature, slender women. A haircut emphasizes the grace of the cheekbones, lengthens the line of the neck, and draws attention to the beauty of facial features.
The only thing to consider is that the hairstyle requires bright makeup.
