When you think of the pixie haircut, you probably imagine the classic short haircut with straight strands like Halle Berry or Jamie Lee Curtis.

What should you consider if you want a pixie hairstyle with curly hair?
Things go wild on a curly head and of course that changes the styling rules. In most cases, a pixie cut with curls should be kept shorter on the sides in order to tame the hair a little, but also so that the haircut can stand out despite the wild curls and be recognized as a pixie. Nevertheless, this should not be seen as a rule, because in order for the cut to really be right and fit, other characteristics play an important role, such as the shape of the face, the texture of the curls and, of course, your own taste.

Pixie cut with curls: instructions for styling
No matter whether long or short, the same rules usually apply to curly hair when it comes to care and styling. Same with the pixie cut with curls:
- It is best to dry curls without heat for short hair, but also for long hair. Just knead damp hair a little with the towel to absorb excess moisture. Then let desire do the rest.
- While it's still damp, it's the right time to untangle the strands. When detangling the strands, do not pull too hard and definitely do not use a brush (especially when the hair is dry). Brushing through ruins the beautiful curls and makes the hair bushy. Use only your fingers or a wide-toothed comb (a brush can also be used for waves).
- If things have to be done quickly and the hairdryer is unavoidable, use the diffuser attachment and use it to knead the hair dry instead of blowing it through.
- You can prevent frizzy hair due to dryness (which is typical for curly hair) by using the right care products. You can avoid frizz with the right balm or special mousse, as they provide moisture and define the natural shape of the curls. A curl spray can also be helpful, as can hair treatments for dry hair.
