A pixie cut is a short hairstyle that typically has longer layers on top and shorter layers on the sides and back. It's a versatile cut that can be customized to suit your face shape and hair texture. Cutting a pixie cut on black hair can be a bit challenging, as you want to make sure you're not cutting off too much hair and leaving bald spots. But with the right tools, technique, and patience, you can achieve a stunning pixie cut that flatters your features.How to Cut a Pixie Cut Yourself Black Hair
Before you start cutting your hair, make sure you have the right tools and supplies. You'll need a pair of sharp hair cutting scissors, a fine-tooth comb, hair clips, a spray bottle filled with water, and a mirror. It's also a good idea to have a reference picture of the pixie cut you want to achieve.Step-by-Step Guide
- Start by washing and conditioning your hair. This will make it easier to comb through and cut.
- Section off your hair into four parts: the top, left side, right side, and back. Use hair clips to keep each section in place.
- Start with the back section. Comb through your hair and use the scissors to cut off any split ends or damaged hair. Then, starting at the nape of your neck, cut the hair in a straight line across.
- Move to the left side section. Comb the hair forward and use the scissors to cut the hair in a straight line across, following the length of the hair on the back section.
- Repeat the same process on the right side section.
- Now it's time to cut the top section. Comb the hair forward and use your fingers to gauge the length you want to cut. Start by cutting a small amount and gradually work your way up, making sure to cut in small sections. You can also use the scissors to add texture and layers to the top section.
- Once you're done cutting, use the comb to check for any uneven sections. Make any necessary adjustments.
- Style your hair as desired. You can use a blow dryer and a round brush to add volume and dimension, or you can embrace your natural texture and use a styling cream or gel to define your curls or waves.
- Take a step back and admire your new pixie cut!
Tips for Cutting a Pixie Cut
- Start with small sections and work your way up. It's easier to cut more hair than to fix a mistake and cut off too much.
- Use the comb to constantly check for any uneven sections.
- When cutting the top section, use your fingers to gauge the length you want to cut. It's better to cut less than to cut too much.
- Don't rush the process. Cutting a pixie cut takes time and patience.
