Short hair and curls? Introducing the Curly Pixie Cut
If you love short hairstyles just like us, then the curly pixie is definitely a look that you should try. It doesn’t matter whether you have curly, wavy or straight hair, with the right styling everyone can achieve a hairstyle. But what exactly does she look like?
That characterizes the cut
You probably know the pixie cut and you guessed it right – its curly variant looks the same, but with slightly longer top hair that is naturally curly. The sides and nape of the neck can also be slightly longer or shaved very short for a cheeky look. Despite its short length, the curly pixie is very versatile and offers different styling options.
Maintaining the length of the pixie and the shape of the curls requires a visit to the hairdresser every 3-4 weeks. Otherwise, the short haircut is very easy to maintain and can be styled in less than 10 minutes with the right hair products.
Who does the hairstyle suit?
For women with naturally curly hair, this haircut is very easy to care for and can bring out the natural hair structure wonderfully. Long curls tend to be heavy and require a lot of maintenance to look beautiful. Put an end to that with this short haircut. It is therefore perfect for women who love a messy look and have less time for morning styling.
Ladies with straight or wavy hair can also try this look, but they will require a bit more styling. You start with a long pixie cut, in which the top hair has a certain length, and use a curling iron to curl the hair. The curls are then set with a spray so they last all day.

Curly Pixie mit Undercut
Cheeky short hairstyles are always worth a try. You are perfectly able to attract everyone’s attention and exude a lot of self-confidence. An undercut pixie showcases the curls on top of your head and adds a sassy touch to your overall look. The extra volume also makes you look taller, which is a great bonus effect for small women.

For special occasions
The curly pixie is not only an everyday hairstyle but also goes well for parties and formal occasions. The short haircut can show off accessories like earrings and a chic necklace, and the curls themselves add that extra something to the festive look.
Curly pixie for older women
Older women with naturally curly hair should also definitely consider this haircut. Short hairstyles are very popular in old age and score with their low maintenance requirements. Whether for gray or colored hair, the curly pixie is one of the most beautiful short hairstyles for women over 50 and 60 years of age.
Salt-and-pepper hair especially benefits from the cut, as the curls allow the gray hairs to appear as a desired effect.
And for mature women with round faces, we recommend the long pixie with curls, the extra volume of which balances the face and conceals wrinkles. A short pony goes perfectly with this.
