I've always loved a good pixie cut. In fact, after my cancer treatment, I decided not to grow my hair long but to keep it short. I've dabbled in pixie cuts over the years, the first time was in high school. I loved it then and I still love it now.
It's liberating having short hair.
Maybe you've thought about it, but here's why you might want to consider taking the leap:
It's Low Maintenance: Pixie cuts are incredibly low maintenance compared to longer hairstyles. With less hair to care for, styling, washing, and drying time are significantly reduced. Not to mention you will use less product overall. When you're busy, this can be a life saver.
It's as effortless as it gets (without being bald): Styling a pixie cut is simple and quick. A little bit of MASAMI styling cream, can help achieve a textured, sleek or bedhead look in no time.
Feel Cool and Comfortable: Short hair can be much cooler during hot weather, making pixie cuts a comfortable and refreshing choice, especially in the summertime. And as we all can feel, it's getting hotter and hotter every year it seems.
Showcase Your Facial Features: Pixie cuts emphasize facial features, drawing attention to the eyes, cheekbones, and jawline. Not everyone has the face shape to pull it off, but you might be surprised how good it can look on you. A good pixie cut can also make your neck look longer.

Embrace Versatility: Contrary to popular belief, pixie cuts offer versatility. They can be styled in various ways, including edgy and spiky, soft and textured, or sleek and polished, allowing you to switch up your look easily.
Make a Statement: Pixie cuts are not for the wallflower. They make a fashion statement, especially if you go a step further with color. They communicate that you are badass, confident and fierce
Get Healthy Hair: Cutting off damaged hair and starting fresh with a pixie cut can be good for your hair health. Regular trims to maintain the style can help prevent split ends and breakage.
Feel like You Gained Volume: Removing the weight of long hair can give the illusion of increased volume, making hair look thicker and more voluminous
It's Ageless and Timeless: Pixie cuts are ageless and suit women of all ages. They have been popular for many years (think Audrey Hepburn) and continue to be a trendy and stylish choice.
So go for it! What's the worst that can happen? You won't like it and will grow it back.
