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 a bob hairstyle, from a blunt bob to a lob, but this season, there’s another haircut threatening to take over. Say hello to the tucked pixie.
No, this isn’t your classic pixie cut. The tucked pixie is a much more modern, cool-girl take on the classic hair trend, and it seems as if the celebrities can’t get enough. I’ve spotted this style on Gracie Abrams and Jessie Buckley, and if it’s good enough for them, it’s definitely good enough for me.
But what is the tucked pixie, I hear you ask? As you’ll see below, this trending hairstyle is a little longer than your usual pixie. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it sits somewhere between a pixie and a bob. However, the main difference is that it’s styled tucked behind the ear for a chic, sophisticated finish. The celebs seem to be styling theirs tucked behind one ear only, showing off subtle layers that make this style look so multidimensional.
