Pixie Cut on larger women?

edited December 2024 in Chit-Chat
I am at a loss with my hair right now. I go through stages where I love it or hate it and I definitely hate it at the moment. I'm sure it's nothing a color refresh won't solve, but I'm also contemplating cutting it short.

Opinions on if pixie cuts look good on larger women? :<

    In my opinion, no they generally don't.

    You have a very pretty face and I think you could pull it off

    I had a pixi cut for years, loved it. And yes it did suit me even tho I was big.
    Rather than ask strangers here, ask your hairdresser, they'll have a better idea of what will suit your face shape.

    This is a good idea

    I'll hopefully be going in soon, I just can't seem to find many good pictures of bigger women with shorter cuts online! I'm not plus-size anymore, but I still worry my face is too round.

    I'm of the opinion that all women look better with long hair - but that's probably related to the white trash upbringing... ;)

    I love the red hair and think it would be really cute if you did a long pixie... you know, longer in the front, very angled. It all depends on the stylist and how they take your face into consideration. I'd bet you have the face for it, though.

    I'd rather start with a long pixie, almost bob, and then go short from there .. I'm thinking something along the lines of this, though:

    Just for kicks, I found this one too. I always thought Natalie Imbruglia was super cute.

    Im not a fan of very short hair on women. I think you have to be thin and have a perfect face and complexion to pull it off, and not look butch. JMO

    In all honesty, I do not like pixie cuts on anyone. I'm a long-hair girl.

    I've kept my hair short since 9th grade. Sometimes it looks great, sometimes it doesn't. I agree with whoever said to talk to your hairdresser about what will look best with your face shape, etc.

    And, even if it's awful, it'll grown back :laugh:

    Maybe not a "pixie cut" as they are hard for anyone to pull off, but I definitely think you could go short. I'm a huge fan of my current style. Short in back, long in the front.

    Take this with a grain of salt from someone who has curly hair past my shoulders...if I don't like my hair this week, I usually will like it next week. That tiniest little bit of "grow" makes it change.

    I am of the general opinion that bigger women shouldn't have short cuts....but having said that I have seen the odd one look absolutely perfect in them.

    I'm a hair stylist.
    Generally I would say keep it longer in the front to frame your face and create shape. Larger women generally suit that more than a harsh cut that doesn't frame the face. Without the frame you may make your face look rounder than you're hoping for.

    Without seeing you in person it's hard to say, I am just generalising from what I have experienced in the past.

    But this all depends on what YOU want. We're just there to give you our advice but ultimately do the style that you want, ask your stylist before you get it done to see what he/she thinks would be best for you personally. :):)

    I think it depends on the shape of your face more than your body. Pixie cuts don't look good on all thin women either.

    I've seen pixie cuts work on women of ALL sizes! Growing it out is a ***** though :)

    I went from really long hair to suuuuper short, while I was pregnant. I regretted it so much. I feel like the fact that I was bigger made it not look as good... Now that I'm losing weight I feel like it'd be a better time to try the pixie cut again, but now I'm too scared too.

    If it's what you want, and can see yourself having, go for it!

    As someone mentioned, I agree that having a short hair style is dependent more on your face shape & texture of your hair than whether you large or small. I've seen some really cute short cuts on women of all sizes. As someone mentioned above, ask your hairdresser for advice. Also, there are other short styles to consider, so don't limit yourself to a pixie cut.

    I'd agree. It sort of makes the face look bigger on a larger women I find.

    I think it is all in how you wear it - your attitude. It only matters what you think, you need to be happy. = )

    I had longish hair and decided to cut it. I went pretty short - not pixie, but short.
    I HATE it. :sad:
    If you cut it and you hate it, it will grow back... but it takes soooooo long. AND it's got all these awkward stages again!

    Definately talk to your hair guru before you do it... see what he / she has to say. I had gone to someone new when I did this...
