Short hair and curls? Introducing the Curly Pixie Cut
If you love short hairstyles just like us, then the curly pixie is definitely a look you should try out. No matter whether you have curly, wavy or straight hair, with the right styling everyone can achieve a hairstyle. But what exactly does she look like?
This is what distinguishes the cut
You are probably familiar with the pixie cut and guessed correctly - its curly version looks exactly the same, but with slightly longer top hair that is naturally curly. The sides and neck can also be slightly longer or shaved very short for a cheeky look. Despite its short length, the Curly Pixie is very versatile and offers different styling options.
To maintain the length of the pixie and the shape of the curls, a visit to the hairdresser is required every 3-4 weeks. Otherwise, the short haircut is very easy to care for and can be shaped in less than 10 minutes with the right hair products.
Who does the hairstyle suit?
For women with naturally curly hair, this haircut is very easy to care for and can show off the natural hair structure wonderfully. Long curls are usually heavy and require a lot of care to look beautiful. With this short haircut you can put an end to it. It is therefore perfect for women who love a messy look and have less time for styling in the morning.
Ladies with straight or wavy hair can also try this look, although they will require a little more styling. You start with a long pixie cut, where the top hair is a certain length, and use a curling iron to curl the hair. The curls are then set with a spray so that they last all day.

Hair with a salt-and-pepper look particularly benefits from the cut, as the curls make the gray hairs look like a desired effect.
And for mature women with a round face, we recommend the Long Pixie with curls, whose additional volume evens out the face and conceals wrinkles. Short bangs go perfectly with this.
