Takeaway Tips:

• Do not cut the bangs straight across. Instead, point-cut the ends to create softness.

• Start by sectioning off the hair where it naturally breaks off, then create a small triangle subsection and cut from underneath to establish your guide.

• Then, take diagonal parts on the sides so it seamlessly blends into the rest of the hair while keeping the section that lays over the guide slightly longer so it creates a heavy, shaggy effect.

2. When Your Pixie Grows Out To A Mullet/Bowl Cut…

Takeaway Tips:

• Use a feather razor—especially if you’re not using a mirror—to avoid cutting yourself!

• To get rid of the mullet, start by softening out your hairline and graduating the entire underneath section with a feather razor.

• If you want bangs, opt for face-framing curtain bangs. This will elongate the rest of your hair, creating a chic, shaggy-esque bob.
