Location: Kentucky | I am feeling restless and thought I could ease that with a new haircut. I'd like to do a pixie, completely inspired by Kaley Cuoco's new haircut. My dilemma is this.... and it may sound completely vain, but I gotta ask. Of course celebrities always look so great, but how does a woman keep her short haircut from being "butchy" looking? I have touched base with my hairstylist and said I could easily pull off a pixie, but that is my only hesitancy. I'm assuming all you would need is paste to style it?

Location: USA | I love it!! Wish I was brave enough to do that cut. I just recently cut all my hair off to right above my shoulders. I didn't want it to just hang and be flat so I got some good product to make it look messy. I think it's all in how you style it. Good Luck... post a pic if you get it cut. Hopefully others will post their pixie styles.. would love to see them.  |

What product do you use?
Mine is currently at my shoulders, but I'm sick of it being in my face or in a ponytail. |

Location: NC | I have been thinking about doing the same thing because 1) my husband likes my hair short, and 2) I am getting tired of my 6 month old trying to rip it out... hahahah
but I have two fears. 1) it will be too hard to style daily, and 2) I will look butchy, since I don't wear makeup and accessories.....

We have the same fears!!! I don't wear earrings, makeup, or necklaces.... never really have. Here is a picture taken in May, this was at a wedding so I was dressed up. This is not a normal occurrance, but any means!

Location: NE Texas | I have been considering this too and that is the exact same picture I fell in love with. I too am scared I won't be able to fix it or I will hate it because ponytails are my life. HAHA That is a super cute cut and I wish I could "try it" for a day or two before I committed to it! LOL |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | I actually think that short hair is easier to do than long hair. You can't put it up in a ponytail but you can throw a hat on. I have been thinking about chopping mine again as well but with winter coming I want my hair to cover my neck and I am getting married next spring and I want long hair for that.
I really don't think you will look butchy. Just tease it a little and go on. |

Location: Rodeos or Baseball games | Women that have feminine features look amazing in short hair. When I look at someone that has cute hair it is usually someone with short. I had long hair past my shoulders and I was tired and needed a change so I went short. My kids said I should not cut it but after I got home they both said how much younger I looked. I get a ton of compliments and it is so easy to do. Facebook "nothing but pixies" has some amazing cuts on there. Hair will alwasys grow!  |

| I have worn a pixie for several years and am just now growing it out. I too wear very little makeup, but almost always earrings.
You can rock it!
When I changed mine - I went back to my stylist and took a couple "lessons" using her tools and my goop to learn how to do my hair the best way. It truly made me feel better about my short hair and what to do with it! Mine only charged me 10$ and a latte' to help me out for both the lessons!! :) |
