I have had really short pixies forever , it seems, and you are absolutely right! About all of it! Thank you so much for being truthful and uninhibited by comments about it.
I'm in my 30's and have had short hair since my teens. I have only ever gotten compliments, no negative comments ever. And definitely have never had problems dating. Go for it ladies!:)
Hi Claire, I just happened by your video by chance. Not that you need my comment, but as a guy I just want to voice how fabulous I think your hair looks. I was fascinated as well how skillfully you applied your makeup as you taped the video. Very nice and informative presentation!
Like another post, I agree: I think women who go for pixies tend to be confident as they break with what is perceived as traditional womens hairstyles. Two years ago (why I waited so long, who knows!), when I chopped my long hair into a pixie, my husband went wild, in a good way. He loved it, thinks it's more flattering and youthful (youthful is good as I am in my 60s 😅). I love my pixie and will never go back long. A pixie can be sassy, sexy, sophisticated, all depends on how one styles the pixie and the attire. If you want a pixie - go for it. It's hair. It grows back.
I hope this isn’t a rude comment, but I find your hair cut emphasizes your beautiful face and brings out your femininity. I love it! I have thought of shaving my hair off because it’s thin, fine, and I don’t have much of it-it would serve it right to be shaved off. 😂 (By shaved, I literally mean shaved with clippers set as short as possible. I’m not saying or insinuating that pixie cuts are shaving the hair off.) I had short hair for 3-4 years because my hair tech at the time said I didn’t have enough hair and what I had was too fine and thin to be anything but short. It is much more time consuming and a pain in the neck. Heck, when I got up in the morning, I always hard to wet it down and do at least a minimal amount of styling as it was sticking up.
@@sherric7860 your comment is very nice, don't worry. I had a buzz cut for less than a year, it was another kind of commitment/maintinence that I could not deal with! My hair has thinned as I have gotten older, I find I use more mousse/spray in (water based) texturizers, and the shake-in powder is fantastic (got 2 b has a great budget friendly one). Pomades/gels are too heavy for my hair now, but always seem to be the products used on short hair. If you ever want to go short again those are def some products that could help, if you don't have them already!
@@clairekookoo Thank you! I only really use a spray in moose thing, but will check out the shake in powder. I definitely need something that will help hide my scalp. Why is it ok, accepted, and even attractive for men to have balding issues and not women? I’m using minoxidil, a silicone massager, a dermatologist stamper, and a red light therapy helmet thing. I have really good dog clippers (I had toy poodles a d one a Havanese-both non shedding breeds which means they have hair like a person that grows and drops like a persons) and have used them on my hubby. If I did a buzz cut, I’d just use one of those. Keeping up on that would be quicker and easier than all the things I’m doing to recover some hair and cleansing and drying my hair. I will admit that the only styling I do is a blow dry and even though my hair is down to about my collar bone, it dries in about 5 minutes.
@@clairekookoo oh, and regarding your comment about price. They certainly shouldn’t charge more for a hair cut just because of gender. I always get a color and a slight trim, so I don’t know the cost of just a trim. However, due to not having a lot of hair and what hair I have being thin and fine hair, my hair isn’t hard to trim. I’m limited in the styles I can have. Mine is pretty much all one length, collar bone, and straight bangs. Literally takes maybe 5 minutes to cut it. Also, I do wonder if I pay the same amount to get mine colored as someone with a lot more hair and if gals with a pixie cut pay the same as someone with longer hair. Certainly, the less hair to color, the cheaper it should be because it takes less product and time. My hair stylist is nice and has picked up a tube color along with some developer for me when she was having surgery. I was shocked to find out the tube cost $10 and developer $20. The developer lasts a while, too. I figure considering those costs and the cost of shampoo and stuff used on me along with a little bit for booth or place rent, it probably costs my hair tech less than $50 each time she does my hair. The rest is profit.
Gosh, I had no idea about the comments thing! I have obviously seen the awful (dumbass) comments whenever I see a video where someone has shaved their head but didn't know that pixie cuts also got that kind of hate too. This is the first video I've seen of yours and honestly you look freaking amazing. I wish the Internet would just stop with the judgement over what people chose to wear or do with their hair. About 5 or 6 years ago I decided to dye my naturally blonde hair red for a while and I honestly loved it, but I had people messaging me ordering me to go back to being blonde. So I went even more vivid orange/red instead! Don't even get me started on my family's reaction to my tattoo 😂 Just mind your own business and respect people's decisions to do what they want with their own hair and body
Thank you for the kind words 💞 Comments are such a heavy part of the hair length. I always grew up with "hair is hair" & no care in the world about hair one way or another. So I am right there with you about wishing people could mind their business and keep their opinions to themselves!
❤Thank you, very informative! I also have been wearing short hair for half of my life. I think it's very important as well to find a stylist who's trained in baby fine hair pixie techniques. Recently had a very bad experience my hair is shredded so much that I can not do anything with it, my worst nightmare. Even after telling her my hair texture & not to do. I have ran out of salons finding a stylist who understands & sees my needs. Any advice? Heartbroken
Finding a stylist is very hard for shorter hair lengths. You could try finding a salon in a high income neighbourhood, if it's feasible. In my area unisex barbershops are popping up more and more. Those aren't as common though, so if you do find one, always check instagram and see the tagged stylists to view their work and that they can do feminine short hair styles. Every salon worth their salt should allow you to have a consult with the stylist you want before they even touch a pair or scissors/clippers! If you don't like the options given, don't be afraid to say no thank you, and try again another day. It's always best to vouch for yourself then sit and accept what comes at you (in this case a pair of scissors haha!)
It's been a little over three years since I had long hair. Growing up, majority of my life, I always had long, thick straight hair and always known for that. Back in 2020, unfortunately got the virus (and still dealing with long haul), started to develop pain and weakness. Could not have the strength or energy to do my hair, so I decided to go for an undercut with long lob. Then slowly got shorter and shorter, 360 undercut and now recently did my own hair (well have been for a while since prices are skyrocket). This is the shortest I ever have it and I love it! Have received more compliments about my hair with ladies, unless I go into the barber and have the design then receive some comments with men. Unfortunately, I did get snarky comments about "why you cut your hair short" and my favorite (since he is cousin) saying that I looked prettier with longer hair...like dude, I don't make comments about "aww, well you looked better with your ex wife" but it's whatever 🐸☕ Would have to say that its easier to take care of short hair compare to long hair!!
I’ve had all lengths of hair from right down my back to a pixie( longer on top than yours) and I’m a plus size lady, I still remember my husbands friends when I walked into a club with him acted like it was a loss in the family, they could not believe I’d get it all cut off, my hair was in great condition I only use henna, but I felt great, freer and no my husband didn’t want me to get it cut but he knew it was my choice and he did like it. The reason my hair is bob length is the trips to hairdresser, I’m not an organised person so the regimental visits is a lot for me. My hair was longer but I put it in a ponytail and got my daughter to cut it off. Most men like long hair it’s a fact but I’ve never cared about that, the only “man” I explain to is my autistic son so he knows I’ll look different, I made the mistake of getting my hair cut off once while he was at school and I didn’t prepare him enough, he said I didn’t look like his mum and was very distressed, other men have no excuses, as you say all friends and your partner should just say you look great. Family always have something to say, but if your hair grows what’s the big deal just grow it again if you don’t like it .
I think explaining to your son is a lovely thing! I think all children should have a progressive hair talk, no matter their placement on the spectrum. I never touched on it in this video but kids can be an issue. From simple stares to asking "is that a boy" I don't get too offended by kids comments anymore, they do have a tendancy to be blunt and to the point hahaha
The way I feel is that it's nobody's business!" I usually tell them to mind their own business. They're just plain mean and stupid!" My husband thinks it's really sexy, he's told me so. He said that I have a pretty face and it really accentuates my appearance.
I got my first pixie at 8 years old - 58 years ago, when it was a fairly new thing. I’ve lapsed from time to time, but now fight with my hairdresser to cut off MORE. My gay male hairdresser denies it, but he once grouched about whether I wanted to look like a lesbian. I said not necessarily, since I’m not, but he was STARTING to get the idea. Ironic, no? But I wanted to look the way I wanted to look. Apparently, a difficult concept. That was something like 15 years ago. We’re still fighting. Oh, well.

Thank you! I feel like there was nothing like this out there and had to share.
I feel women that choose to wear short hair cuts are very confident in their skin.
Et oui tout à fait 🤣
You look beautiful. The pixie cut suits you. Xx
Thank you so much!
Wish more women would cut their hair short. Your hair is gorgeous!
I love my pixie and I've never experienced any negative comments.

I think cost is just regional based, i am sure some salons don't charge, but some love that profit margin lol
