Tousled Pixie Cut

Works best for: Slightly wavy medium-fine hair.

What to ask for: Layers that are longer on top and not cut uniformly all around.

How-tos for this look: Even women with natural texture can sport a pixie if the cut works with their waves, as this haircut created by Cutler/Redken Salon’s David Kastin does. Here, the longer layers at the crown enhance the waves, so the style feels as effortless as it is: Simply muss the hair, lifting up at the roots with your fingers, as you blow-dry it. Smooth out the bangs with a flat brush, then apply a dab of matte paste to your hands, rub them together, and run though your hair for hold and definition.
