The pixie cut, a revolutionary way to showcase the modern woman’s beauty. The perfect pixie haircut for black women these days looks different than it did in years past. Around twenty years ago, a pixie cut was simply a short cut with symmetrical sides and back. Then, the hairstylist might put some layers up top. Now, the cut has evolved so much.

1. A Bold Short Hairstyle with Spikes and Hair Color from Cindy Pierce

Pixies now come in many variations, from the conservative pixie with even sides and layers in the top, to including undercut pixies with shaved sides and even design parts added. It’s important to note that we define the pixie cut as any short cut where the top of the hair is cropped into layers. And the effects might be so it can be styled in such a way as to create a sense of movement. Black women certainly love their hair. Pixie haircuts show a level of confidence and sophistication. This is why pixie haircuts are so prevalent with black women today.

2. Courtney Garcia’s Pixie Haircut with Hair Color

Times Have Changed

When it comes to haircuts, people need to understand that the pixie changed the game. Think back to the birth of our country. Back then, women would never dream of having short cuts. They were all about the long locks. It was a societal expectation. Women had to have long hair because it was a sign of femininity. It showcased that a woman was truly different than a man. It created a sexual appeal. Also, the cosmetic industry was not in full swing. Without the dresses and long hair, women wouldn’t look that different from their counterparts. Throughout most of our history, long hair was considered essential and ladylike.

3. Che Peterson’s Short  Pixie Cut Hairstyle with a Funky Bang 

Think of long piles of voluptuous hair with closely shaven sides. This will make a cute face look a little bit edgier. Try this look if you dare to stand out.

It was important to men that women looked different. After all, they were relegated to a separate sphere. Their place was in the home, having children and doing housework. The rich women sometimes got away with just child-rearing. Anyways, the point is that a woman’s long hair was the pinnacle of loveliness, to them. The verse in the Bible about a woman’s hair is her crown of glory probably did not escape many in the Victorian age. Although the verse went on to explain that women should embrace their femininity as a source of beauty, many took it the wrong way. Unfortunately, the beauty of the pixie cut was suppressed then.

That our lives don’t have to be tied to restrictions. And that we can cut, and style our hair anyway we damn well, please. The cosmetics, jewelry, and clothes of this age are all geared to making women look the best they possibly can while helping them express an individual style. And even the pixie cut’s evolution has proved that there is not just any, one size fits all pixie.
