My Top Five Reasons for a Pixie Cut

My pixie cut as a woman at midlife has been a blast.

My TOP FIVE REASONS For A PIXIE CUT For Women at Midlife

I met a woman the other day, who was my age and had long hair. Hers was dark, but graying, and very healthy. I told her not to be afraid of letting it go silver. So many women with long and short silver hair look amazing. Embrace those platinum strands!.They’ll look beautiful on your  face. Just make sure you add some lipgloss! 

1- As we age, most women get drier and thinner hair. It looks less healthy. A pixie cut will always look healthier. 

2- A pixie cut may make you look younger by bringing out your cheekbones and eyes. Long hair may pull your face downward. A pixie truly can enhance your features.

3- A pixie is a fun way to show off your personality. Oftentimes as we age, we lose our personal style because we begin to lose our shape or lose our desire to look pulled together. A pixie can really add a lot of sass and personality to your look!

4- A short pixie cut can give you a boost. Sometimes what we need at midlife is a powerful boost of fun.

5- A pixie is easier and less fussy! I suppose this is a matter of opinion depending on what you’re used to. But with the right styling products, there is no reason to spend more than ten minutes on your hair! Let your hair work for you. If it’s curly, let it be curly. If it’s straight, let it be straight. There is a short cut out there for every hair type.
