The classic pixie cut is getting a refresh this summer — or rather, several creative refreshes. A cute short cut always popular for summer, pixie cuts are especially welcome this year among those wanting to get rid of some of the weight in their hair, according to Elle.
But whatever version of the pixie you get this summer, it's unlikely to be one '60s icon Twiggy would recognize. Frédéric Fekkai, founder and CEO of FEKKAI salons, tells Elle, "short to medium pixie cuts and bold colors will be on-trend." (He mentions platinum pink and turquoise as good pixie accent colors.) According to Allure, longer, shaggier pixies with thicker and more pronounced bangs are also big this summer. In short, the pixie has evolved from a single distinct haircut into a family of short haircuts, making it a versatile choice for those wanting to explore shorter, easy-to-maintain styles. "The pixie is forever a classic because there are so many variations," hairstylist Jasmine Ashley told Allure.
