Continuing my effort to make this blog more professionally beneficial, every week I’m diagramming a haircut or technique from a photo in my blog archives.

This week’s breakdown is a short and neatly textured pixie cut with soft edges and longer sweeping fringe.

The first step is to create a horseshoe section, dividing the top from the bottom (The solid black line in the diagram). Notice how it curves down near the temples, this helps exaggerate the length in that fringe.

Beginning in the bottom, at the center back, diagonal forward sections are worked toward the face. The hair is held directly out from the sections at 90° and the line is cut parallel to the section. The last section at the front is directed back into previous.

The top is then joined to the bottom with a central guideline (parallel solid black lines running from crown to forehead), held straight up at 90° from the top and cut with a forward bias, using the previously cut length from the back as the guide to length.

The top is then completed with radial sections pivoting from the crown, also held at 90° and cut to follow the central guide. It should connect everywhere except in the very front where longer pieces separate to make the fringe.

The texture can be achieved with a razor or a loose point-cutting technique. Blow dry and detail the cut for the finished look.
