And only for the young'uns. Old people's sagging jowls will be on full display with that kind of cut.

This pp is still sporting the "Rachel." Or worse, the Victoria Beckham angled bob. Or even worse, the DC helmet bob (with the requisite one-dimensional box dye).


? No, I have long hair to the small of my back. I stand by what I said - none of the photos look good, hairwise. My neighbor has a pixie cut and looks really cute, but she has the face for it.

I remember girls trying this cut in high school, back when it was in Seventeen with advice about how to use one of those brastrap headbands or the little butterfly clips, or "slick it back", and it was hideous then. I remember ONE GIRL who looked good in this cut, and she had a little, Audrey Hepburn face and huge doe eyes, and was super tiny and delicate looking. Everyone else ended up looking ugly and heavy-jawed, even if they weren't.


+1
Audrey Hepburn, Winona Ryder, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Rihanna, Michelle Williams, Zoe Kravitz - those are just some of the women who rock pixie cuts and they all have gorgeous faces.


I love short hair, but thought Winona Ryder looked like a little boy with that haircut


Oh, I thought she was so gorgeous.



both can be true

I have a version of this. I style my hair every time I wash it with the revlon and/or a straightener, but it doesn't take very long.

It's just hair. This cut is cute on lots of women. It's not for everyone and literally no one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to cut your hair short.

Also, the continued obsession with looking younger is ridiculous. It's okay to look your age. You can look attractive AND your age. You'd think given the fact that the biggest news story of the year is about a freaking pedophile ring involving some of the most powerful people in the world, people would be rethinking the need for women to all look as young as humanly possible at all times. A little introspection, maybe.


Good grief. In your own words, "it's just hair." Yours is the most extreme reaction on this thread. So women can't express dislike for certain styles without being labeled an "MRA"?? You seriously need to take it down a few notches, maybe get outside for some fresh air.

Exactly. Most women looked more masculine than Justin Beiber with this haircut.
