Spring into a Pixie Like a Shiny Pop Star

Before - and after - Emma Watson's
shiny new pixie cut. Wow!

Time for a new 'do.

Spring weather spurs on new looks and a time to change your tired winter haircut. Shiny pop stars everywhere are shedding long locks for short and sassy styles.  Emma Watson, Keira Knightly, Kate Winslet and Natalie Portman are just three high powered stars who opted for the sporty, wispy, modern haircut known as the pixie cut, made famous by sixties icons Twiggy and Mia Farrow.

Great for oval and round faces with gorgeous eyes, the pixie is shorter than the more conservative bob haircut and is a style tweens (or moms!) might consider when heading to their favorite hairstylist this spring... it can be sleek and modern, tousled and rocked out, or sporty and spunky.  Pixies aren't for everyone: make sure you visit an experienced stylist to find out what type of look is right for your lifestyle and your face shape. Being a kid, your hair grows back fast if you don't like it, but this is a great time in your life to experiment and try out new looks!
