An undercut pixie bob haircut is a short haircut that’s length is between a pixie and a bob and where the hair is shaved around the sides and back.
“Getting a pixie bob cut is all about owning the look,” says hairstylist Thomas Sumarto from Melbourne, AU. This means knowing how to style your locks in an effective and efficient way. You can still pull off a haircut that stands out despite being busy with your daily activities.
Though this cropped hair seems like an easy, wash-and-go type of cut, it may not suit every lady. “Not being realistic about your hair type results in what could go wrong with this look,” warns Sumarto.
Choosing the right pixie bob would depend on your hair texture and face shape. This is apart from what lifestyle and preference you have.
Ask your hairdresser for suggestions, including ways to style and maintain your locks. Know the ideal interims between salon visits to get trims that keep the cut’s fullness. You can also check our guide for more tips and details.
