@jessyjinstylist

A curly pixie bob is great for very thick and straight with some natural texture to it. This chop was created by hairstylist Jessy Jin of Vancouver, BC.

“This is a short curly hair cut with a perm that is not as short as a typical pixie but also not quite a medium-length,” says Jin.

If you are considering a pixie perm, Jin says to make sure you have a proper consultation before you book a full appointment. “Gather some pictures to really show what size of curls you want and how natural you want it to look, and also bring your hair history with you. This is very important, for your hair integrity matters,” she notes.

Jin loves prepping short permed hair or naturally curly hair with Pureology color fanatic. “It’s one of my favorite light hydrating leave-in conditioners, that is also color-safe. Also, you can use it on wet or dry, so you can spritz on the second or third day to hydrate their curl.”

The Curly Undercut Pixie

@pennylanestudios

“This is a great curly pixie undercut because it takes the sides incredibly short but blends the top in a way to keep the silhouette soft,” explains hairstylist Coral Gable of Chicago, IL.

“It can sometimes be a challenge with how long to keep the curls on top so it stays tight enough to keep the shape but long enough to have the freedom to style the kinky curly pixie haircut,” says Gable. “You have to get your hair cut far more often than when your hair is longer, so factor that into your budget and time. If your hair is less curly on top, you would need to get reshaped much more often.”

“Face shape plays into styling short cuts like this,” says Gable. “For example, if you have a round face, styling to give yourself more height is helpful unless your goal is to accentuate that round shape.”

Naturally Curly Red Short Pixie

@curls_i_am

With this gorgeous short curly pixie cut you can get the “big chop” you’ve always wanted. “I used my own technique called the ‘curlspiration’ cut to achieve this look. Keep the top longer an edgier look,” says curly hair specialist Jasmine Levy of Boca Raton, FL.

You don’t need to have previously damaged hair to go this short for a curly look. Levy loves pixies on curly girls since the hair is already textured.

“Any curl pattern from 2a to 4c can rock a naturally curly pixie cut. Just be sure to look for pictures with girls having your curl type, so you can have an idea of how it will turn out,” she notes.

Keeping the hair a little longer and rounded on top works for the round, square, and oval faces.

Like every curly girl, they use a lot of product in their hair, so getting a short cut like this will save so much time and money!

Always keep the curls hydrated especially if you do color. Levy recommends the Deva Curl conditioners, as they give the best hydration. “The only downside is you will be seeing your stylist more often.”

The Natural Pixie for Black Hair

@teddy.baker.beauty

Pixie haircuts for black curly hair like this are all about keeping the sides short and growing the top out. “African-American ladies will look so stunning with this chop, for sure,” says master stylist Teddy Baker of Los Angeles, CA.

“This cut can be adjusted for any type of curl,” notes Baker. “Also, it’s great because you can wear the hair in front of the ears for a softer 70s vibe or slick it behind the ear for a more polished and dressy look.”

With any pixie cut, curly hair needs cream to defrizz/define and a spray or gel to hold the curls in place.

Baker says this pixie for natural hair works best for women with strong features such as high cheekbones, big eyes, or a strong jaw.
