A helpful reality check

A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.

What defines Side-swept pixie?

A side-swept pixie keeps a longer front section that crosses the forehead diagonally. The sides and nape keep the overall shape short.

Look where the diagonal finishes near the outer brow. In profile, compare that front length with the ear and the shorter edge at the back.

Choose which way you want the front to fall. Show whether it should stay clear of the eye or cover a little more of the brow.

Textured pixie
The side-swept pixie has a longer diagonal fringe. The textured pixie spreads shorter, separated pieces across the top.

Can I change the sweep direction?

Show your usual part and ask how the front grows. A direction that follows the growth may take less work to arrange.
