Pixie is a universally flattering style that can be worn in a variety of different ways – curly, wavy, straight, messy, sleek, asymmetrical, and with a pop of color. While the hairdo usually has the reputation of being buttoned-up, these looks show that with a healthy dose of color, the classic haircut can be transformed.
