We all know that when it comes to short hair trends, the bob reigns supreme. At least, that’s what I thought. This time last spring, it seemed like every celebrity was cutting their hair into bob hairstyles, from blunt bobs to lobs, but this season, another haircut threatens to take over. Say hello to the hidden pixie.
No, this is not your classic pixie cut. The tucked pixie is a more modern, cool-girl classic hair trend, and it seems like celebrities can’t get enough of it. I’ve seen this style on Gracie Abrams and Jessie Buckley, and if it’s good enough for them, it’s definitely good enough for me too.
But I hear you asking, what is a tucked pixie? As you’ll see below, this trending hairstyle is a little longer than your typical pixie. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it sits somewhere between a pixie and a bob. However, the main difference is that it is styled tucked behind the ear for a sleek, sophisticated finish. Celebs seem to only style theirs behind one ear, showing off the subtle layers that make this style so multifunctional.
