A round face reads longer in a pixie with three to five inches on top and the sides tapered with scissor over comb. That crown height, blown up with a round brush and set with a light paste, is what makes a pixie haircut for round faces work on fine to medium hair. Book a trim every five weeks.

A round face reads longer in a pixie with three to five inches on top and the sides tapered with scissor over comb, because that crown height is what pulls the eye up. A pixie haircut for round faces works best when the top is left dense and the sides are taken in. A pea of paste and a vent brush is the whole finish. oval face haircuts follow the same idea: work the perimeter and the crown before you touch the length.
