3 ways to wear this short cut for fuller hair

When one’s hair is short or shiny, one has a strong tendency to want to shorten one’s hair a few centimeters. But be careful with certain ultra-short cuts that are not too long to smooth and texturize the hair. The ideal? A pair of eyes, with a volume and a length that is almost marked above the head and in front of the face. This is the case of the pixie cut here, when it is well realized, allows boost the volume of hair ends.

If you have asked to adopt this short cut, we recommend that you opt for the three following declines. Your common points? Aerial lines, graded games and a judiciously studied length to create an impression of additional volume and movement.

The degraded pixie cut

The pixie cut is characterized by a slightly degraded finish between the sides, the rear and the lower head. To gain volume and density, the highlights below the head and front of the face should also be slightly degraded for add texture and volume to hair. The idea is to create here an overlay of shorter and longer highlights, to form different haircuts and add the material to the thin and shiny hair.

Attention, the degraded must be worked with great subtlety, to add volume and body to the hair without reducing its volume. The movement of the hair can also be directed in a circular manner to create a movement that camouflages a lack of density above the head. In reverse, avoid pixie cuts with a very large and uniform length below the head, as they tend to recede and create a flat hair effect.

The Pixie Cut with Braid

If you have a lack of density in the front of the face or at the level of the temperaturea pixie cut with a slightly more pronounced movement at the front can be a very good option. The hair should be slightly straightened and curled towards the back and sides, and slightly longer towards the front of the face. The movement is then haired towards the front to form the front and oval. To accentuate the volume, the hairdresser prefers a line on the side. Contrary to a centre line, a side movement gives an impression of volume and additional movement.

Thanks to this asymmetry effect on the front of the face, the hair moves and becomes more voluminous. This longer mask can be easily adapted to the volume and shape of the face, to soften the features or to target certain areas (the lips and the face in particular).

The long pixie cut (or “bixie cut”)

Between the square cut and the pixie cut (bob and pixie cut), the pixie cut is an ideal hairstyle for those who want to maintain the length needed to texturize and enhance their hair. Unlike a very straight or very short pixie cut, the bixie cut allows you to work on the volume in the shorts and on the lengths andaccentuate the work of the degraded to play with the movement of the hair. The hair is generally a little longer on the sides and on the sides, which allowsadoucir l’oval du visage and to create an effect a little more arrondissement. The result: a short, voluminous cut, aerial and very easily modular.

Thanks to this additional length, the hairstyling options are more varied: you can also create curls, bounces, a wet look effect, brushing or side hair. When curled, the bixie cut is transformed into a short, graduated square. A good option for those who don’t want to go straight to the pixie cut.
