A shaggy pixie bob is a short-length cut made with tons of layers for extra texture and volume. These look sassy and sophisticated and can be styled sleek or messy.
California-based stylist and salon owner Britt Hirschberg expresses her approval of this crop. “It’s cute on all genders and hair types, plus it’s easy to style! With a few pinches to the face-frame and a little scrunching, you’re good to go,” she points out.
Shaggy pixie bobs are also perfect for women looking for an effortless style with a more androgynous shape.
What’s very important is to find a stylist that specializes in shorter shags. Hirschberg suggests, “Look at their Instagram portfolios and see whose aesthetic matches yours.”
Even with thicker locks, the right stylist knows how to do the deep weight removal from the roots using a razor. The proper technique will allow the shape to collapse, preventing a giant Q-tip look.
Another tip from Hirschberg is to bring your stylist photos of your desired look, such as the ones you’ll find here.
“Ask your stylist if they think the shaggy cut would look great with your face shape and features. Ask if they have any changes to the cut,” says Hirschberg. Also, get some product recommendations that can help you achieve the style.
Shorter hair can be a little high-maintenance, so be ready for frequent trims. Shaggy bobs and pixies grow out into mullets, which are not for everyone.
