I’m declaring it: The tucked pixie will outshine the bob this spring.
It's widely recognized that when it comes to short hair trends, the bob is often regarded as the top choice. At least, that's what I believed. Around this time last spring, it appeared that nearly every celebrity was opting for a bob hairstyle, whether it was a blunt bob or a lob. However, this season, there’s a new haircut vying for attention: the tucked pixie.
This isn’t your traditional pixie cut. The tucked pixie offers a more contemporary, stylish version of the classic style, and it seems like celebrities are embracing it wholeheartedly. I've seen this look sported by Gracie Abrams and Jessie Buckley, and if it’s making waves with them, it's certainly something I would consider.
So, what exactly is the tucked pixie, you might wonder? As you’ll notice below, this trendy hairstyle is slightly longer than the typical pixie. In fact, I would say it lands somewhere between a pixie and a bob. The key distinction is that it’s styled tucked behind the ear, lending a chic and polished appearance. Celebrities appear to prefer tucking their hair behind one ear, showcasing subtle layers that give this style a multidimensional effect.
Continuing on, I’ve compiled some of my favorite tucked pixie looks, so keep scrolling if you’re contemplating a haircut...
