Create texture and volume, sleek it down or spike it up, this fun and flirty pixie is so versatile.
Quick and easy to style, dress it up or dress it down, either way it’s stunning!
1. Inspiration behind the style and the look:
The inspiration for this look was fun and flirty. This look has versatility that creates the option to sleek it down or spike it up. The ecalle technique was used to create tone on tone dimension that melts a darker base and lighter ends together.
2. Does it have dress down/dress up options?
Yes it does, you can change this look by using different products to create a different look for any venue. This can look amazing with a casual dress or at a black tie event.
3. Which hair types does it work for? ie fine/thick, etc
Great for all types of hair especially fine hair because you can create texture and volume. Fine hair can be limp and flat and with this cut you are able to use texturizing sheers or a razor to add volume and movement.
4. High or low maintenance?
This look is low maintenance and styling time is minimal perfect for a girl on the go. You can either use a styling crème and sculpt the hair in place for the perfect wet look or use your fingers to amp it up by using a light styling gel. The less you brush this style the better.
5. What face shapes best suit this style?
Oval to square face shapes will be complimented with this style. The added texture to the top and sides balances square face shapes and compliments the structure of their check bones. The added texture and width at the sides and the round of the head creates balance at the jaw line. It also great for oval face shapes. For any oval face shape you want to enhance their best features. In our models case it was her eyes and cheekbones.
6. Any important blow dry/styling tips?
The styling tools utilized for this look was a light styling crème. This product gives you the piecey look that really show cases the color dimension as well. You can also use a flat iron or a curling iron to create more movement on the ends. A spray wax can also be used to create a soft texture and a moveable finish.
7. Best products for the style and colour?
To protect this beautiful rich and shiny color, a sulfate free shampoo is a must! To recreate this look apply a light styling crème on the roots through the ends this will create volume then finish off with a pomade to create texture and pieceyness.
