[quote=Anonymous]Pixie/bixie/bob veteran here: this haircut is for anyone with the right hair texture who is willing to make the effort to style it and keep it trimmed in shape.

You have to commit to frequent trims with this haircut because it can get awkward quickly. That is the only reason I currently wear a longer bob instead of one of these shorter cuts, which I think are most flattering on me. I don't like having to go in for a trim every 4-6 weeks. I'd put it off and then be annoyed with my hair, especially the back. My hair is fine but there's a lot of it, so letting the cut grow out without re-shaping would lead to an awkward shape. I could trim the front myself easily but the back I needed a pro to do and I just got tired of the time/expense of going to the salon so often.

People are being dramatic on this thread about what bone structure you need for this cut. I actually think it flatters a lot of different faces. Yes, if you have delicate features, it can be especially cute (sort of fairy-like). But it can work with stronger features too. I do think if you are self conscious about your nose or feel it is large for your face, I'd avoid this cut. But that's not most people.

The biggest thing is just committing to it. Longer hair is easier to maintain (at least until you get to a length where it starts to get unhealthy, but shoulder length hair is pretty easy for most people) and you always have the option of pulling it back or styling it differently. With a short haircut, you have fewer options so you really have to stay on top of the shape. If you are the sort of person who goes 6 months between cuts, hates using product on your hair, or like to change up the style of your hair frequently, it's not for you.[/quote]
