How would you describe this look?
This cut is a combination of a long pixie undercut that first started off using clippers – with a number two guard and working my way down to a zero for her fade. To give the angled look for the top portion, I pulled everything back, so that the pieces around her face gradually got longer. Cutting the back right above her occipital bone gives a beautiful shape (side profile) and volume. I layered the top and added a bunch of texture so that when styled, it doesn’t fall flat.
The undercut pixie haircut added with the platinum blonde highlights adds another layer of wow, especially when you’re trying to go for an updated and easier way to transition from full color to highlights in order to blend the grey. I sliced out sections of her hair to get the maximum amount of blonde I could get in to blend her grey but still left room for her natural color at the roots, so that the grows out look intentional (shadow rooted).
This look is so liberating since most people don’t have the guts to cut off half ahead of their hair. I love that this look gave my friend so much confidence. My favorite part is that it turns heads! Not only is it fun as a stylist to create this look but I love hearing about how many compliments she gets.
Any advice for someone considering it?
My client and friend is a mother of three but can rock this edgy, modern look. Because she is only dealing with half a head of hair, it is an easy hairstyle to have when you have a busy lifestyle! All you have to do is use a toning shampoo to maintain the blonde, throw in some uplifting foam, and blow dry for volume. You can use a small round brush to get the maximum amount of lift and my favorite thing to do is to finish off with a light transforming paste by Aquage to piece out and define the strands of hair.
This finishing touch makes a huge difference in the look! I would recommend this haircut to anyone because it is truly customizable to you. Although my client has an oval-shaped face, someone with a rounder face can pull it off by leaving the fringe a little longer to balance out the look. You can leave your hair uncolored but the blonde really adds texture to my client’s naturally fine-textured hair. From curly hair, straight, fine to thick, if you’re looking to be liberated, I would highly suggest asking your stylist for this long/pixie undercut!
