A long pixie cut is a great look for those who are growing tired of their longer tresses and want a bold and dramatic change.

They are very easy to style and can be worn either slicked back, spiky or curled. As well, they are a great way to show off your inner punk rock chick and are perfect for brilliant and bold bursts of color. From fuchsia to fiery red to purple passion, there is no end to the ways you can play around with color on a pixie cut. All color techniques inducing highlights, lowlights, babylights balayage tones and ombe fades look absolutely stunning on a pixie!
Pixies are believed to have first burst onto the silver screen in the 1930s, courtesy of actress Josephine Baker. And thanks to Audrey Hepburn in her starring role in her debut film Roman Holiday, pixies became fashionable in the 1950s and have been a avant garde style for bold and confident women ever since.
