Description
Our model is working a layered Pixie haircut and it looks great! This stylish and edgy jagged cut hairdo is ideal for women who have a strong bone structure and petite facial features. Our model has an angular jaw line which benefits from short styles like this one that bring the focus towards the top of her face. Her thick hair works well with this 'do as the layers add texture and body all over, and it provides coverage for her high forehead while framing her eyes. For ladies who like a stylish 'do with minimal styling time and fashion-forward results, this Pixie cut is an excellent option.
The sides and back of this short sassy 'do are tapered into the head while the top is jagged cut for a textured look and feel all over. The bangs are swept over to the side to soften the face and it completes the over-all hairstyle nicely. Regular trims are recommended every 4-6 weeks to maintain the hair shape.
Our model has a medium skin tone that has some gold undertones to it, and dark eyes. She is best suited to rich black and brown tones that warm up her skin and bring out her eyes. This espresso brown base shade does just that, plus it gives her hair a rich, healthy-looking finish. Subtle golden brown highlights throughout give her color a beautiful sun-kissed glow and adds extra edge to her hairstyle.

Styling Steps
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.
Make sure that your hair is damp and then apply gel to your fingers and rub it into your roots to achieve maximum hold.
Using your blow-dryer, dry your hair using your fingers, separating the hair and allowing it to dry at the roots first then the mid lengths and then the ends. Making sure the roots are dry first will ensure that your hairstyle does not fall flat.
Use your blow-dryer and your fingers to dry the back of your hair by moving your hair around to allow the heat to pass through it.
Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.

Repeat until your hair is completely dry.
When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.
Apply gel to your fingertips and then pinch small clumps of hair in an up and forward motion. For a messier look, pinch the clumps in different directions.
Apply gel to your fingertips then gently rake through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go.
