pixie afro
@paulinemortlck
This curly pixie cut is a longer version of the afro hair pixie. However, the benefits are all the same. Don’t forget to moisturize your hair to keep your curls vibrant and fresh.
pixie cut for thick hair
@pruelith
If you are lucky enough to have never lost half your hair over the years and need a full hair fix, consider medium haircuts for women over 60.
This balances the length and thickness of your hair. A pixie cut for thick hair over 60 can be solid or refreshed with highlights, as in this photo.
Choppy pixie cuts for over 60
@salonjustincharles
Naturally straight hair is why an edgy short pixie cut suits you. The choppy layers add gradient and movement to older women’s straight, fine hair.
Pixie cut for round faces
@Guiliana
A side part not only dramatically changes the look of older women, but also gives a modern touch to any type of short haircut. Among all face shapes, square faces and round faces benefit most of all from a side part with long locks. Such a cut visually lengthens the face, adds asymmetry and softens the angles of the face.
How to care for pixie hairstyle
Here are some simple but not obvious tips on how to make your pixie hairstyle look perfect, keeping your hair care in mind.
- Reduce the number of times you comb your hair. It’s getting more and more fragile, so it’s better to use your fingers or buy a bristle brush.
- Minimize the use of heat styling tools. Curling irons and curling wands can further damage fine hair and ruin your hair color. Also try reducing the frequency of using the hair dryer.
- Use a good texturing product.
- Take care of your scalp. Perform an exfoliating treatment on your scalp to avoid dryness and irritation.
- Trim every 3 to 6 weeks. To maintain your pixie’s shape, length, and unique details.
- Wash your hair regularly. The shorter your hair, the more often you should wash it. But don’t forget about proper moisturization. Buy a moisturizing mask.
