The back and sides of this short hairstyle are tapered into the head while the top is jagged cut to achieve this textured 'do that is versatile enough to style in different ways depending on occasion or mood. Product is needed to pinch through the ends and regular trims every 4-6 weeks will help maintain shape.

Patricia Ward goes for a funky short ‘do here with this jagged pixie cut. Having an oblong face and high forehead, Patricia suits medium to short hairstyles with bangs well, just like this one. Her short jagged fringe creates a nice frame for her face while the layers on top give her ‘do extra body and texture. This hairstyle is particularly well-suited to women with fine, straight hair that benefit from extra thickness in their ‘dos. The sides and back are tapered in towards the head giving this hairstyle a sleek, sculpted finish.

Patricia has a cool, fair complexion and hazel green eyes, making her well-suited to ash blonde and brown tones. Here, she goes for a light platinum blonde shade that gives her a soft, natural-looking finish. No highlights are needed here as Patricia’s hair color looks lovely on its own, plus pixie cuts work better with one dominant shade.
