I find that the shorter I have my hair, the more time I have to put into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1230090 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 20:56:45 +0000 Greyscale 1230090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1.</p> <p>By the way, I don't use much product in my hair but recently I've been using a little bit of Alaffia's shea butter curl defining gel, if anyone's looking for curl product ideas.<br /> <a href="http://www.beautifulcurls.net/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=10&#038;idcategory=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.beautifulcurls.net/.....category=3</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1230010 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 19:32:26 +0000 Jeanie 1230010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 would look great on you. &nbsp;And you could probably just add some styling creme when you hair is wet which would add some definition to your curls for an alternate look (sorta like the curls in #9). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229942 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 18:17:37 +0000 rachylou 1229942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree on #1 and also like #9, because that seems the closet to your own hair.</p> <p>I think, when you go in, you just have to make sure the stylist doesn't go 1980s Prince &amp; The Revolution on you when you say, "short in back, long on top." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229926 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 18:02:30 +0000 deb 1229926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes,31.

It's realistic and looks practical. <br />As much fun as #s 2 and 3 look, I don't think having so much&nbsp;hair in front of the eyes and face works well in real life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229628 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 13:42:39 +0000 tricia w. 1229628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your curls, they're beautiful, and agree that #1 would look very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229587 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 13:08:37 +0000 NDMom 1229587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love pastrygirl's hair she linked above....go for it!

I got my hair cut recently after hesitating about it for months. I went to a new-to-me place that was rated very well on Yelp, and thankfully it worked out! I showed her my Pinterest board of styles that I liked, including goal styles for when my hair grows out a little. Like you, I want the front longer. She went short up the back and I LOVE how it came out!! I can't link easily because I'm on my phone, but I posted pics in my WIW to the Rack post from last week.</p> <p>ETA link: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-help-clear-the-rack" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....r-the-rack</a></p> <p>Also, my curl level varies day-to-day. Today, it's curlier than it was in that pic. On Easter, it was straighter. It's a shape that seems to work either way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229544 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:35:29 +0000 pil 1229544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 is a really nice cut if your stylist can make it work with your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229528 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:18:09 +0000 Anonymous 1229528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 1 too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229527 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:17:58 +0000 Janet 1229527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote here for something along the lines of 1.

I've been heading shorter and shorter with my hair as well - and I find it's actually easier to manage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229475 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 10:53:56 +0000 Lantana 1229475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla you need to talk to your stylist because what is achievable with your hair will depend on the nature of the curl, the thickness of the fibre, how much hair you have and how it grows. I have stong thick curly hair and lots of it. There's one kind of pixie that works for me and I'm sure that with an expert at the helm you'll find the right pixie for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229464 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 10:26:12 +0000 Astrid 1229464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others, #1 would be great if you trust your stylist to get it right - I love curly pixies like that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229374 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 05:41:50 +0000 Lyn D. 1229374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1.<br />I think that your hair is ALOT curlier than mine, so very short at the back and sides would make it easier to style and less bulky too.<br />Love your curls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229353 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 05:19:56 +0000 Golden 1229353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to have to agree with the majority, 1 is adorable and looks like it would suit you well. Post a picture if you go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229347 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 05:14:35 +0000 Kiwichik 1229347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No expert on curly hair but I think you would suit 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229287 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 03:31:11 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1229287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first on is probably the most practical, but man that orange is awesome on the right skin tone. I say go for it, it's only hair and you can change the cut in a couple of months to refine if necessary. Definitely find someone good with curls though, as everyone else noted, it's not a universal skill. I recommend/swear by Curl Keeper to tame the frizz when I go curly, and the roller clamps to add volume when air drying. Grey hair (but dyed) needs so much more help! And post pics...I'm jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229262 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 02:38:56 +0000 Gaylene 1229262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally do-able! My trendy, twenty-something stylist talked me into a style very similar to the first pic a year or so ago and I've never regretted the decision. It took a bit of adjustment because I was so used to wearing my naturally curly hair in a straightish bob. This cut is the best of both worlds because I can wear it curly or blow-dry it for a straighter look. </p> <p>I think the key is to get your stylist to cut the back and sides into a definite shape to avoid the cut looking like a round ball of curls plopped on top of your head. My hair looks best with the sides cut close to the head and tapered to just below the ears, the back cropped quite short, and the crown and fringe left fairly long.</p> <p>I've had fun playing around with different products to get different effects on the back and top section. Styling mud, fibre paste, glossing agents, and curl enhancers all give different effects. To my mind wearing my hair like this looks much more modern than a curly bob and is so much easier to look after. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229253 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 02:17:16 +0000 Jaime 1229253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone who can somewhat&nbsp;relate to your hair, I say find a good stylist that you can trust. I think the idea of #1 is great for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229250 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 02:16:02 +0000 Deborah 1229250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree something like #1 could look fantastic. My only advice is make sure you stylist really understands curly hair. I have naturally wavy/curly hair which I prefer to wear straight but I still need stylist who undertands curly hair. There are certain things that just dont work on my hair (even if I am straightening it) so I need someone who gets that. Pastry Girl and Mochi both have great short curly cuts, maybe they will chime in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229247 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 02:09:17 +0000 Suz 1229247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think something like #1 would work really well. Do you trust your stylist enough to do it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229245 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 02:07:11 +0000 Angie 1229245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/curly-pixie#post-1229240 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 02:03:04 +0000 Carla 1229240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since joining YLF a little over a year ago, I've been gradually going shorter with my hair. It's working with my lifestyle, which is somewhat wash-and-go, since I often hit the gym mid day and don't have time to fuss with it. I do tend to blow dry it straight, and sometimes flat iron it in the winter, but May to September I just use a little leave in conditioner and let it go. </p> <p>It's been almost 3 months since my last haircut, and I'm thinking of cropping it super short in back and over the ears, but leaving the top long since I loose so much length when it dries. </p> <p>Any hair experts or curly pixies out there? Am I being realistic with my ideas? My fall back is the inverted bob. </p> <p>FWIW, I know I don't have the super brilliant colour or precision make-up of the sample pictures. Also, I've got to keep the specs. </p>
