The secret of trendy pixie hairstyles is volume, so thick-haired women are naturally privileged due to their innate volume! A pixie for thick hair is a short haircut that is heavily styled and textured to reduce volume, making the pixie the best short haircut for thick hair. The pixie is usually short on the sides and on the back of the head and longer on the top of the head.
Haircut specialist Brian Aguilar occasionally talks about the pixie and demonstrates how mυch can add grace to a short haircut with texture and bangs.
Thick curls require careful maintenance, as they can become too wild and uneven if not properly cared for.
Tapered pixies further emphasize the face, so it’s important to consider which facial features you want to highlight more. Strategically choosing the right elements and layers that emphasize the face can do wonders for the pixie and your overall look.
Celebrities who have recently been spotted with a thick pixie include Rambi Rose, Viola Davis, Blake Lively and Tyra Banks, and they are more than enough inspiration!
