Description
Short and sassy is the main idea for this mane. Our model flaunts a glamorous variation of the pixie haircut with fabulous results. Her hair has been jagged cut in the front and sides, with the back tapering in close to the head. This hairstyle gives our model a sexy peek-a-boo effect in the front. Her two-tone caramel and blonde hair color looks great with her complexion and shows off the many layers of this cut.
A Pixie haircut with bangs is a great look.This hairstyle looks best on oval faces and for those who want to introduce some razzle-dazzle into their style. The long locks floating over your face with multiple big curls give you that confident look that is hard to ignore. This pixie cut aligns with this jagged, messy and loose hairstyle trend. The back is exceptionally long, with a noticeable fade towards the back and sides. You can experiment with the bangs to shorten your look, or play around and wear it wavy if you prefer that style. The cut has oodles of volume and texture, which makes it very popular among women these days. It gives you lots of hair to play with on top since it gives you so many layers in place. It's also a short hairstyle that you can do easily on any length of hair.
Growing out your hair can be a frustrating experience, especially if you're trying to maintain a short and sassy pixie cut. You could grow it out for several months, only to want to cut it again - but with regular trims and a healthy dose of styling products, this hairstyle can last for months or even years!

Styling Steps
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
A small radial brush is used on shorter hair types to add more body or in longer hair types to create curl. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.
Using your blow-dryer, tilt your head forward and dry your hair using your fingers until your hair is completely dry. Remember, the messier, the better.
To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.
To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until 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.
Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush underneath the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a forward and downward direction with your blow-dryer above. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly above.
To get your sides to sit out, apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then working mainly on the ends, pinch them while dragging the hair in an out and upwards motion. Be careful not to overdo that wax or your result will be a flat and limp style.
To finish the look, apply wax to your fingertips, making sure to smooth the wax over all of your fingers, then simply pinch the wax onto the ends of your hair, applying as much or as little as needed.
