Step 2: Section your hair.
Step 2: Section your hair.
For a pixie cut with a headband, you'll need to section your hair into three parts: the top, the sides, and the back.
Top: Use a comb to create a horseshoe-shaped section on the top of your head, from one ear to the other. Clip or tie the top section out of the way for now.
Sides: Create two side sections by combing your hair from your temples to the back of your head. Clip or tie the side sections out of the way as well.
Back: The remaining hair at the back of your head is the back section.
Create a deep side part.
Step 1: Dampen Hair
Wet your hair thoroughly.
Step 2: Part Your Hair
Use a fine-toothed comb to create a very deep side part about 1 inch from the hairline.
Starting at the part, brush the hair on one side forward and the hair on the other side back. Secure the front section with a clip.
Step 3: Create the Pixie Cut
Starting at the back of your head, trim the hair to the desired length. Aim for a layered pixie cut with shorter hair at the back and longer hair at the front and sides.
Use a razor to add texture and graduation.
Step 4: Texturize
Use a razor or scissors to create bangs with a feathered or wispy texture.
Add layers to the hair on the sides to create movement and volume.
Step 5: Style the Headband
Place the headband over the deep side part.

Regular trims will help maintain the pixie cut and keep the hair healthy.
Section off a triangular section of hair at the crown. This will be the top section.
Step 1: Section off the Top Triangle
Start at the forehead: Locate the point just above the center of your forehead.
Brush to the crown: Use a fine-toothed comb or brush to smoothly comb your hair straight back from the forehead to the crown of your head.
Create a triangle: With your fingers or a comb, section off a triangular section of hair at the crown. This section should be wide at the forehead and narrow at the crown.
Secure the triangle: Use a hair clip to temporarily secure the top triangle section out of the way.
Clip the remaining hair out of the way.
Step 1: Gather your hair tools.
You will need:
A comb or brush
Hair clips or hair ties
A headband
Scissors
Step 2: Section your hair.
Use a comb or brush to divide your hair into four sections: two in the front and two in the back. Clip or tie up the sections that you are not working on.
Step 3: Cut the front sections.
Take the front section of hair that is closest to your face. Use your fingers to create a small triangular section of hair. Hold the scissors at a 45-degree angle and cut off the hair along the diagonal. Repeat this process on the other side of your face.
Step 4: Cut the back sections.
Take the back section of hair that is closest to your neck. Use your fingers to create a small triangular section of hair. Hold the scissors at a 45-degree angle and cut off the hair along the diagonal. Repeat this process on the other side of your neck.
Step 5: Blend the sections.
Once you have cut all of the sections, use a comb or brush to blend them together. This will help to create a more natural look.
Step 6: Style your hair.
Once your hair is cut, you can style it as desired. You can wear it with a headband, or you can leave it natural.
Tips:
If you are not sure how to cut your hair, you can ask a professional hairstylist for help.
Be sure to use sharp scissors when cutting your hair. This will help to prevent split ends.
If you are cutting your hair yourself, be sure to take your time and be careful.
Step 3: Cut the top section.

Step 3: Cut the Top Section
1. Create a triangle section: Part the hair from the front to the crown, creating a triangle shape. This section will be cut shorter than the rest.
2. Determine the desired length: Decide how short you want the top section to be. It can be cropped, just above the ears, or slightly longer.
3. Cut the triangle section: Holding the hair between your fingers, cut it to the desired length. Use a sharp pair of scissors for clean edges.
4. Smooth the cut: Use a fine-toothed comb to smooth the cut edges and remove any stray hairs.
5. Blend with the sides: Using scissors or a razor comb, blend the top section with the sides to create a seamless transition.

Position the headband about 1-2 inches above the forehead.
Push the hair up under the headband to create volume.
Secure the headband with bobby pins as needed.
Tips:
Use sharp scissors for a clean cut.
Cut the hair slightly shorter than desired, as it will lift slightly when styled.
For a more dramatic effect, use a razor to create layers and texture.
Experiment with different headband styles and colors to complement the haircut.
Caution:
Do not cut hair that is too wet, as it will stretch and may result in an uneven cut.
If you are unsure about cutting your own hair, consult a professional hairstylist.

Step 5: Blend the sections.
Step 5: Blend the Sections
To achieve a seamless transition between the top and side sections, you will need to blend them. Here's how:
For a Pixie Cut with Headband:
1. Trim the Longer Section: Take the longer section of hair and trim it at an angle, starting from the root and moving towards the tips. This will create a softer, more blended look.
2. Use Scissors to Blend: Using sharp, precision hair scissors, gently cut into the shorter side section, following the direction of hair growth. Avoid cutting straight across, as this can create visible lines.
3. Use a Razor (Optional): For an even more seamless blend, you can use a shaving razor to carefully shave off any excess hair that's sticking out or creating unevenness.
4. Check the Symmetry: Step back and observe the blend from different angles to ensure that it's symmetrical and that there are no harsh lines. Adjust the cutting as needed until you achieve a natural-looking transition.
Use a razor or shears to blend the top section with the sides and back.
Materials:
Razor or shears
Headband
Comb
Clips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Hair:
Wash and condition your hair.
Towel dry it to remove excess moisture.
Brush out any tangles.
Section the hair horizontally at the level of the headband. Clip up the top section.
2. Cut the Sides and Back:
Use a razor or shears to trim the sides and back of the hair to your desired length.
Hold the razor or shears perpendicular to the hair and keep a steady hand.
Use short, quick strokes to create a textured, choppy look.
3. Blend the Top Section:
Unclip the top section.
Hold a razor or shears parallel to the head and gently angle it downward.
Use short, feathering strokes to blend the top section with the sides and back.
Be careful not to overcut and create a harsh line.
4. Check for Balance and Symmetry:
Step back and check the overall balance and symmetry of the cut.
If necessary, make any minor adjustments to even out the length or blend the sections.
5. Style with Headband:
Remove any clips.
Place the headband on your head and adjust it to your desired position.
Use a comb to smooth any flyaways and define the layers.
Tips:
Use a sharp razor or shears to ensure clean cuts.
Point cut the ends of the hair to add texture.
Leave a few longer pieces in the front for versatility.
Experiment with different headband styles to create various looks.
Use hairspray or mousse to hold the style in place.
Cut the hair at an angle to create a smooth transition.
Step 1: Determine the Angle
Start by dividing the hair into top, middle, and bottom sections.
Identify the desired length for the shortest layers.
Determine the angle at which you want to cut the hair, typically 45-60 degrees from the scalp.
Step 2: Cut the Back and Sides
Take a section of hair from the bottom back of the head.

If you have a wide forehead, opt for a wider headband to balance out your proportions.
For a more secure fit, use a headband with a built-in non-slip grip.
If the headband is too tight, it can cause discomfort or headaches. Adjust it until it feels comfortable and secure without being painful.
If the headband is too loose, it may slide off your head. Adjust it to fit snugly without creating any pressure or discomfort.
Adjust the headband to your desired tightness.
With a Traditional Headband:
Center the headband: Place the headband on your head, ensuring that it sits evenly in the middle.
Hold it securely: Use your fingers to gently hold the headband in place as you adjust the tightness.

Adjust as needed: Repeat steps 2-3 until the headband is snug but not too tight.
With a Headband with Adjustable Buckle:
Open the buckle: Unfasten the buckle on the back of the headband.
Insert the headband: Place the headband on your head and adjust the position as desired.
Tighten the buckle: Pull the adjustable strap through the buckle and tighten it until it reaches your preferred tightness.
Secure the buckle: Lock the buckle in place to ensure the headband stays secure.
Tips:
Don't overtighten: The headband should be tight enough to stay in place without causing discomfort or headaches.
Experiment with different positions: Try wearing the headband at different heights or angles to find the most flattering and comfortable fit.
Use bobby pins for extra security: If the headband tends to slip, use bobby pins to secure it to your hair.
The headband should be worn snugly, but not too tightly.
Pixie Cut with Headband
Styling Instructions:
Materials:
Headband
Comb or brush
Steps:
1. Prepare your hair: Wash and condition your hair as usual. Towel dry and brush out any tangles.
2. Apply headband: Place the headband on your head, adjusting it to sit comfortably and securely. It should be snug but not overly tight.
3. Style your pixie: Use a comb or brush to style your pixie cut as desired. You can create volume by teasing the roots or add texture with hair wax or pomade.
4. Smooth the flyaways: If you have any flyaways or stray hairs, smooth them down with hairspray or a styling cream.
5. Adjust the headband: Once your hair is styled, adjust the headband to fit perfectly. It should hold your hair in place without feeling uncomfortable.
Tips:
For a more formal look, consider a thicker or embellished headband.
If your hair is thin or fine, tease it slightly at the roots to create volume under the headband.
Use a headband with a nonslip backing to prevent it from slipping off.
If you want to wear the headband for an extended period, make sure it is not too tight as it can cause headaches or discomfort.
Experiment with different headband colors and patterns to complement your outfit or create a unique look.
Step 7: Finish the style.
Finishing the Pixie Cut with Headband
1. Texturize the hair: Use a razor or texturizing shears to create movement and lightness throughout the hair. Focus on the ends and layers to avoid removing too much weight from the top.
2. Style the bangs: For pixie cuts with bangs, determine the desired length and shape. Use scissors or a razor to cut them to the desired angle and texture. Style them using a blow dryer and round brush to achieve volume and movement.
3. Add a headband: Choose a headband that complements the cut and personal style. Place it on the head, adjusting the width and angle as needed. The headband can be positioned at the top of the forehead, near the hairline, or even further back.
4. Secure the headband: If desired, use bobby pins to secure the headband in place. Position them along the inside of the band, hidden from view.
5. Finish with products: Use a light hairspray or mousse to keep the style in place and add shine. Avoid overloading the hair with products, as it can weigh down the cut and make it look flat.
6. Consider makeup and accessories: Enhance the overall look with complementary makeup and accessories. For example, a bold lipstick or earrings can add a touch of glamour, while a colorful scarf can provide a pop of style.
Tips:
Experiment with different headband styles and colors to find the ones that best suit the face shape and personality.
Adjust the placement of the headband to create different looks, such as a more playful or sophisticated style.
If the hair is naturally thick, consider thinning it out slightly to prevent the headband from slipping.
Use a small amount of hairspray or mousse to keep the bangs in place, but avoid making them too stiff.
If the pixie cut is very short, a headband with a narrow width may be more flattering.
Use a gel or wax to define the hair.

Use a razor to create a more textured look.
Step 1: Wash and Dry Hair
Thoroughly wash and dry your hair to remove any oils or product buildup.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into three sections: top, sides, and back. Clip the top section away from the remaining hair.
Step 3: Create a Guide Section
Take a small section of hair at the nape of your neck and comb it straight down. This will be your guide for the rest of the cut.
Step 4: Start Razoring the Back
Hold the razor parallel to the guide section. Angle it slightly towards your head and gently raz the hair, moving the razor in small, quick strokes. Repeat this process for all the hair in the back section.
Step 5: Cut the Sides
Unclip the side sections of hair. Comb the hair down and use the guide section as a reference. Razor the hair in the same manner as the back, keeping the same angle and stroke length.
Step 6: Texture the Top
Unclip the top section of hair. Comb the hair forward and hold the razor perpendicular to the hair. Lightly raz the hair, focusing on the ends and mid-lengths. This will create a textured look.
Step 7: Clean Up the Neckline
Use the remaining hair on the top and back sections to trim the neckline. Hold the razor at a 45-degree angle and shave away any excess hair.
Step 8: Style with a Headband
To complete the look, put on a headband of your choice. This will add a feminine touch and help keep the hair in place.
Tips:
Use a sharp razor for optimal results.
Hold the razor firmly but gently to avoid cutting the hair too short.
If you're unsure about the angle or stroke length, test it out on a small section of hair first.
For a more dramatic textured look, razor the hair more heavily.
If you have naturally curly hair, be cautious when razor cutting as it can make the hair frizzy.
Leave the hair longer in the front for a more feminine look.

3. Cut the sides and back shorter. Use hair clippers to trim the sides and back of your hair to your desired length. Consider using a shorter length on the sides and back for a more tapered look.
4. Cut the top front section longer. Use scissors to cut the top front section of hair to your desired length. Leave it longer in the front for a more feminine look, typically around chin-length or slightly longer.
5. Use a texturizing spray (optional). To add volume and texture to your pixie cut, apply a texturizing spray to the roots.
6. Style with a headband. Place a headband around your head, positioning it slightly behind the hairline. Use bobby pins to secure the headband in place.
