The pixie cut - named after a small, mischievous elf-like creature - is a boyish hairstyle for ladies which has been around since the 1920 flappers and worn by many celebrities over the years.

Who can wear a pixie cut?
The cut is best suited for ladies with a more oval face shape, square face shape or a generally small face with delicate feminine features. It is cut short on the back and sides and left longer on top. I personally wouldn't recommend a pixie cut if you have a long face shape.

Thinking of going for the chop?
It may take courage for some, but this cut is also full of fun and playfulness, as well as sophistication and elegance - and it also happens to be hot right now so what better time to go for it! :)
