The pixie cut is a perennial favourite when it comes to shorter looks, never going out of style. Luminescence is from Laurent Voisinet’s Nitescence collection and here’s how to achieve a cur that is both rock and contemporary.
Great icons and celebrities have sported the pixie cut for decades: Audrey Hepburn, Jean Seberg, and more recently Scarlett Johansson, without forgetting the current Miss France. This hairstyle by Laurent Voisinet embodies the free and contemporary woman who has taken ownership of her true femininity.
Step by Step
1. Create a horseshoe parting at the back. Create a gradient using the scissor over comb technique at the nape.
2. Keeping some length, lift each layer and chop into the ends using the tips of the scissors.
3. Blend in at the sides using the scissor over comb technique, keeping more length where the hair connects with the back.
4. Lift the hair between the fingers to finish off the gradient ensuring it blends in nicely.
5. Finish off the upper section so it cascades towards the front. Work the upper section to create vertical separations.
6. Where necessary, thin out the hair using the scissor tips to finish off.
