Who suits short hairstyles?
Hair off or not? – every woman refuses. Some fear thatthe short haircutaffects the feminine charisma. Because cheeky short hairstyles really don't suit every face and body type. Tall women with very short hair appear more or less masculine. However, a short bob is a good hairstyle for them that is relatively easy to care for and stylish at the same time.
Before you decide on a radical change, it is better to seek advice. In fact, short hairstyles look better on medium to short, slim women than on slightly larger ones. It's actually hard to hide anything under the short hair. Facial expression, eyes, ears and a delicate neck really come into their own here. If you are proud of yours, then a cheeky short haircut is just for you!
The pros and cons of the pixie cut
Cheeky short hairstyles are really versatile and can be styled in many different ways. Here we briefly summarize the pros and cons:
+ short hair changes the type and creates a wow effect
+ daily styling takes very little time
+ you can experiment with new hair colors
+ no more intensive care and hair masks are needed
– you have to go to the hairdresser regularly, because hair grows around 1-1.5 cm per month
– more styling products, including a good hairbrush for blow-drying, are needed
Styling is key
The same short hairstyle can be styled cheeky, elegant or naturally youthful. Once you have found the right cut for your face shape and hair type, you can always achieve a different, new appearance on every occasion. Ladies with thick, strong hair, stylists recommend opting for fringed cuts.
Long pixie hairstyles are perfect for thick hair, with the hair subtly thinned away from the top hair. This emphasizes the facial contours. The layers take away from the heaviness of the hair and create great accents. The hair can be blow-dried backwards and styled elegantly with a little hair wax, as well as styled forwards.

Wet-look pixie is more popular than ever in Hollywood
A well-known style is the so-called wet look. But this is not a sleek look.

You can achieve the perfect wet look by first blow-drying your hair backwards with a little hair mousse and a round hairbrush.

The stars style their cheeky short hairstyles very differently depending on the occasion. But everyone can notice one thing: her outfits are always particularly feminine - figure-hugging, especially dresses, and with high heels.
