The Latest Pixie Cut, created by Sian Roscoe
1 Sectioning
Begin by creating a clean horseshoe section from recession to recession. This preserves the weight around the hairline, allowing for a softer, more tailored finish through the front and sides.
2 Back and Nape
Take vertical sections at a 45-degree angle from ear to ear, working around the back of the head to cinch into the neck. Use a razor along the hairline to diffuse any harsh lines and maintain a soft, natural edge at the nape.
3 Sides
In front of the ear, overdirect each section back to the ear peak. This builds slight length in front of the ear for balance and flexibility. Refine and customise with a razor, encouraging softness and movement.
4 Top and Crown
Release the top section and use the crown as your pivot point. Working in radial sections, elevate the hair to 90 degrees from the head and cut straight across. This technique builds internal weight through the front while keeping natural head shape.
5 Fringe & Detailing
To finish, detail the fringe and hairline using a razor. Focus on softening the perimeter and enhancing texture for a modern, effortless look.
6 Final Refinement
Personalise the cut further with razor detailing or point cutting where needed. The result is a tailored, lived-in pixie with soft, wearable texture and internal structure.
“Throughout a short haircut, constantly step back and assess the composition of your shape. For this cut, the exaggerated shape of the clothes mirror the disconnected length, which adds an extra layer of detail to the final shot.”
