Gray hair after 50: these three variations of the pixie cut are the most rejuvenating of all according to experts

• The pixie cut : the most “classic” form of the pixie cut is one of the most effective models for enhancing gray hair. With its accentuated volume on the top of the head and its slightly shorter sides, this haircut lengthens the oval of the face and brings a lot of modernity to the look. To wear with a textured effect, to give even more volume and substance to the hair. “This cut leaves a little length on the top, which adds movement and texture, while the sides are softer and shorter to complement your facial features and bone structure.”underlines Fabian Lliguin, hairdresser and colorist in New York interviewed by the media Pure Wow.
• La Tapered Pixie : this tapered pixie cut, a little shorter than the “classic” model, is the one worn by actress Melissa McBride. Very graphic and modern, it enhances the oval of the face and highlights the posture of the head. A “boyish” style of cut which contrasts with the sometimes graying or aging side of gray hair. To highlight it, you can texturize it with a matte wax or spray. Remember to keep a little more length on the top of the head, to create a nice contrast with the sides of the face.

• La Side-Swept Pixie : this pixie cut is recognizable with its longer strand at the front of the face, often swept to one side. Always with shorter sides and a nape, it highlights the head area and brings a lot of charisma to the face. Longer hair at the front of the face allows you to dress the forehead but also to match the contours of the face and emphasize the look. A very gentle movement, which brings a rejuvenating effect to the look.
