How to Find Your Ideal Wixie
When it comes to this cut, the key lies in creating soft and feathery outlines. Ka Chu Mok emphasizes that for those with fine or thin hair, a wixie haircut is a great option as it naturally adds volume and fullness. “Finer hair types already have this effect, and the cut enhances the appearance of thicker hair,” Ka Chu Mok explains.
On the other hand, if you are blessed with thick hair, it’s important to consider disconnected or thinned-out outlines to achieve that desired soft and airy look. The same applies to straight hair. For those with naturally curly or wavy hair, this cut offers an ideal platform for a messy yet structured look.
Customizing the Cut
Ka Chu Mok highlights that understanding your face shape is crucial in determining the right wixie. Different face shapes require specific considerations to ensure a balanced and flattering result.
For round faces, Ka Chu Mok recommends a shorter straight fringe combined with longer winged pieces. This combination helps create a visual balance and elongates the face.
If you have a square face, a round or curved fringe will soften the angular lines. On the other hand, for those with a longer face shape, opting for a longer fringe and shorter pieces around the ears can help create a harmonious look.
Oval and heart-shaped faces have more flexibility, as the wixie cut can be customized without specific balancing techniques.
Effortless Maintenance for All Lifestyles
Maintaining and styling this cut shouldn’t be a hassle. Ka Chu Mok shares valuable tips and product recommendations for different lifestyle types. For a smoother and head-hugging look, Kevin Murphy’s Easy Rider, a defrizz cream with a lot of shine, is recommended. Simply apply it to damp hair and let it air dry or use a hairdryer for added convenience.
If you prefer a textured and airy wixie, Ka Chu Mok suggests using a sea salt spray like Hair Resort Spray and a fingertip of styling paste such as Free Hold on damp hair. To enhance your natural texture, use a diffuser when drying your hair. Finally, use the styling paste to create soft and feathery outlines.
