What Is It? Shorter than a bob, longer than a shaved head. Usually a little longer on top and kind of...flicky. You know, flicky. It is more or less impossible to achieve with curly hair, though that won't necessarily stop you if you have curly hair because you're a dreamer, goddammit. The style most commonly evoked when someone is referred to as "waif-like". Unclear how many modern-day pixies choose this cut but they certainly originated it. Whose Fault Is This? Carey Mulligan's impressive Hollywood rise. The smiling girls at your local vintage clothing store. The time you watched Rosemary's Baby while stoned. Other people's bone structure. Now What? Huh. So it turns out that people get pixie cuts because they have high cheekbones that they wish to display. Getting a pixie cut does not give you cheekbones. Well. That's a real blow. You are very round and exposed and wow, this cut sure does become a mullet fast. The experiment has failed. Grow it the hell out.
