Pixie Cut Hairstyles 2009

Pixie Cut Hairstyles - Rihanna, Victoria Beckham... Had It!!

The pixie cut has been a big part of Hollywood’s most sensational hairstyles since the 1950’s, when Audrey Hepburn won raves for her short hairdo. The pixie was incredibly dominant in the 1960’s as well, when Twiggy, Mia Farrow and Edie Sedgwick took center stage in their boyish hairstyles.
In the 80’s Madonna adopted the look, and today beautiful stars like Natalie Portman, Victoria Beckham, Halle Berry and Rihanna can be found like incredibly sexy and cute in their little pixie curls.

The key thing that these great actresses all share is great facial bone structure. Each of their noses are pointy, and their jaw lines are all very feminine and delicate. The pixie cut can work with strong and large jawbones, but delicate cheekbones are an absolute must for the style to work. The pixie cut is actually not very versatile. There is so little hair involved that if the facial structure isn’t adequate there is very little that a stylist can do to manipulate the hair. However, colors are one area where the pixie can go crazy and still look great.

Any color can be added to the pixie, depending on the audience it is intended for. Madonna designed a bleach blonde pixie that worked incredibly well, but some punk and emo colorations are a little too wild for the red carpet when combined with this look. Pink, the R&B rocker, has worn a short cut with dayglo colors, but she is part of the music scene, which is not as reliant on glamour as the cinematic world.

Pixie cuts are being adopted by more celebrities who have chosen this short look over the popular bob. Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes and Keira Knightley are just a few of the beautiful people who have opted to go short with their hair. Pixie cuts are even shorter than the shortest bob, and when they are razor cut, the resulting look is both unique and a bit mischievous.

Women adore this style because of its easy care: the short length is ultra-stylish, and compliments your personality while ensuring that your face is the center of attention.
Keira’s choice works beautifully to accent her facial features, bringing drama to her eyes. By selecting a full-volume look instead of the flat pixie that is so common in this style for short hair, she achieved her special look by having her hair razor cut in layers. Multi-dimensional color highlights were added to give depth and mystery to this super short cut. For an added touch of glamour, long fringe bangs top off the tousled look kept in place with a bit of frizz control gel to give here the ultimate simple and sexy look.

Pixie haircuts are often called a cap or even a chop; it all depends on which stylist you are talking to. But no matter what you call it, this very short cut can cause sparks to fly with a lot of layering from the crown to the hairline with longer lengths of hair tapering at the nape of the neck.
