Once you have watched several tutorials online and feel ready to give yourself a short haircut, prepare several things before beginning your cutting session.
Reasons for Shortening Your Locks
Pixie Cuts: A Feminine and Versatile Style
Pixie cuts are among the most sought-after haircuts for women. This girly yet sexy style features short top hair with longer pieces extending behind the ears for an irresistibly feminine aesthetic. Only ideal for busy professionals with time and patience to maintain long locks, the pixie cut provides volume and dimension while giving fine or limp locks size and volume.
Choosing the Right Pixie Cut
Selecting the ideal cut for you among the various styles of pixie cuts is essential. Seek advice from your stylist or browse online for inspiration. Consider shaping the pixie to complement both your face shape and head size.
Styling and Maintaining Pixie Cuts
Pixie cuts require daily styling to maintain life in them. Create an easy-to-style layered pixie cut that doesn’t leave flat spots behind. For formal style or casual looks, experiment with different colors and use shampoo and conditioner that protect against bleaching.
Donating Your Hair
Research charities that accept donations before cutting your hair to donate and understand their process. A professional should perform this task to ensure an even length and proper preparation for transport.
Saving Money by Cutting Your Hair
Cutting your hair can save money compared to salon visits. Watch instructional videos and invest in special shears explicitly designed for this task. Be prepared and avoid major events or meetings, allowing time for professional repair if needed.
Being More Practical with Shorter Hair
Long hair may only sometimes be practical for some professions or sports. Cutting your hair shorter can reduce the chance of getting caught in chemicals or messy materials and be safer for specific sports. Ensure you have the appropriate tools and a suitable area with good lighting for cutting your hair.
Trimming Your Hair
Start by trimming any face-framing hair before continuing with the back and layers. Gradually cut inch by inch until your desired length has been reached, taking your time to avoid mistakes that would become more visible over time.
