Aren’t pixie haircuts feminine hairstyles? Yes and no. Actually, it’s a tad more complex, but here’s the explanation. These cuts are considered androgynous, which means that they are suitable for both men and women. If they are indeed more popular among the latter, these timeless cuts are above all inspired by short male hairstyles, hence their name “boyish cuts” when they are worn by the fairer sex.
The pixie cut is recognizable by its slightly tousled style and the hair cut shorter on the sides and at the back, while the top of the head keeps some volume, which usually ends in a fringe. This hairstyle also offers great flexibility and can be adapted in different ways, while maintaining its fundamental characteristics. The bangs can for example be slightly longer or shorter (even combed back), and they can be parted in the middle or on the side. A qualified hairdresser will know how to masculinize your pixie cut, thus differentiating it from its feminine version.
