    Since a pixie cut is so short it takes a while to grow out, but you can help get through the awkward stages with regular trims. For instance, you can keep your hair trimmed around your ears and your neck, and let the hair on the top grow out. Once the top starts growing over your ears, you can transition into a bob, but by keeping the back cut short in the meantime, it won't grow into a mullet.

    Anyone can pull off a pixie cut, but they tend to look best on people with long faces or heart-shaped faces.

    How do I donate my hair after it's cut?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You should actually plan for donating your hair before you get it cut. First choose an organization that will accept your hair donation. Before you head to the salon, make sure to wash and dry your hair. After you wash your hair, don't use any hair products, such as hairspray, gel, or mousse. Bring the organization's hair-cutting guidelines, a ruler, ponytail holders, and a resealable plastic bag. Have a hairstyle in mind. Then follow the organization's instructions for contacting them after your haircut.

    I have really puffy/curly hair and I am scared that once I cut my hair it will puff up in an unpleasant way. Any suggestions?

    If you cut your hair and it is curly, it will become much curlier once you cut it. If you don't want your hair to be more curly, then maybe you should reconsider cutting it. If you still want to cut it and you're worried about the frizz or "puff," there are many products on the market to help eliminate frizz. You could also invest in a straightening iron. I also suggest that if you cut your hair, maybe avoid getting bangs, since these will be much more difficult to tame.
  • Question
    I have wanted to get a pixie cut for about a year now, but all of my family and friends say that I won't look good with it, and that I would look like a boy. Should I still get it?

    I suggest looking at pictures on the internet of girls with your face shape with pixie cuts and seeing if it would or would not make you look like a boy. You could also get it cut and play up the femininity with hair clips or bobby pins.
  • Question
    Why do people say that only some women can pull off a pixie cut while all men are expected to look good in short hair?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Possibly it is because people are used to seeing men with short hair and woman with long hair and without it, they get freaked out. It's an old-fashioned notion, you can have whatever length hair you like, no matter you gender, age, height, whatever.
  • Question
    Does a pixie cut work/look good on everyone? Or, just some people?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Everyone has a different sense of style, it really depends. If you have a very long face shape, really puffy (hard to style puffy), or know you won't look good with it, then it won't look good on you. If you have a very long face, the style may make your face appear even longer. If you have puffy hair, it will be harder to maintain and style in the cut. So, no, it's not for everybody, but for some people it's the best style.

    I have a round face. Would a short haircut suit me?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    A round face needs something to frame it. Hair makes a great frame whether it's long or short.
