Pixie cut

A pixie cut is a short hairstyle generally short on the back and sides of the head and slightly longer on the top.

Popularity

Pixie cuts were popularized first in the late 1950s when Audrey Hepburn wore the style in her debut film Roman Holiday, and later in the 1960s by actress Mia Farrow and British supermodel Twiggy, then even later by Laugh-In star Goldie Hawn.[1] Jean Seberg also sported a pixie cut for Otto Preminger's melodrama film Bonjour Tristesse.[2]

Depending on the style, pixies range from as short as a half inch in some places to two or three inches long in others. Pixies are very easy to maintain and can be worn casually, or dressed up for special occasions.[3]
