In 2018, short hairstyles will not be as popular as long hairstyles. Looking through the collections of the spring-summer 2018 season from designers participating in Fashion Weeks in London, Paris, Milan and New York, you can notice a tendency towards a predominance of images with hairstyles for long hair.

But, at the same time, the second feature of fashionable hairstyles in 2018 is the radicalism of short haircuts. If stylists nevertheless decided to give up long hair and make hairstyles with short hair, then it is, most often, a haircut “like a boy”.




In 2018, a pixie hairstyle from the 1960s will be incredibly fashionable. A pixie haircut is the shortest possible haircut, a haircut that looks like a boy. At the same time, the hair on the back of the head and temples is cut shorter than on the crown. The very name "pixie" is translated from English as "elf" or "fairy", thereby emphasizing the fragility and defenselessness, the effect of which is created thanks to this hairstyle.

The pixie cut emphasizes the oval of the face and the line of the neck. Girls who decide on such a radically short hairstyle visually become younger, and in general, such an image is not devoid of boyish enthusiasm.



The pixie haircut became incredibly fashionable in 1953, when the movie "Roman Vacation", which is considered a classic of cinema, was released with the beautiful Audrey Hepburn as Princess Anne. According to the plot of the film, Princess Anne cut her long curls to gain freedom and get rid of the status of a person of "blue blood" imposed on her.

Even today the pixie haircut is still a symbol of freedom and courage. And, perhaps, even a protest against the classical canons of female beauty.

She wore a pixie cut and the famous 1960s model Twiggy.



In 2018, the pixie haircut is proposed to be worn with elongated asymmetrical bangs and torn hair ends. Also, the bangs can be dyed in different colors. For example, like the Fendi models, in blue or green.



With a short, almost boyish haircut in 2018, it is proposed to wear the largest earrings and the same large glasses with large round glasses.



It is worth noting that the pixie haircut, fashionable in 2018, is ideal for girls with a long neck and an oval or elongated face, while with large facial features. After all, this hairstyle focuses on the face. The look, simply, has nothing to cling to.

Therefore, such a haircut should not be worn by girls with a round face and a short neck. Also, if you have small facial features, you should be careful with a pixie haircut. In this case, the probability of success is 50/50. A pixie cut can both visually make your facial features appear larger, and vice versa, reduce them. However, in the second case, makeup can save the situation.

So, in 2018, with short hairstyles, stylists recommend focus on the eyes, emphasizing them with rather thick and bright arrows along the upper eyelid. And, as before, do not forget about the eyebrows. Even with blond hair, it is suggested to paint dark eyebrows.



Another "contraindication" to the fashionable haircut of 2018 "pixie" is hair with small curls, since it will be very difficult to fit them into this hairstyle.



In addition to the “pixie” haircut, a simple “boy-like” haircut will also be fashionable in 2018. And in this case, the girls are offered completely boyish looks. For example, like Givenchy, with nude makeup.

Haircut "page"

Another haircut from the 1960s that will become a fashionable hairstyle for short hair in 2018 is the page haircut. This haircut was worn by Mireille Mathieu. Haircut "page" is an elongated square, cascading and twisted to the face.In this case, the hair color can be either completely black or blond.



In fashion in 2018, there will also be hairstyles for short hair above the shoulder length with a smooth styling. Moreover, the hair in such a hairstyle should be combed back and laid behind the ears.



Above we wrote that a pixie haircut is not suitable for girls with small curly tight hair. However, for them there is also a hairstyle for short hair that is fashionable in 2018 - this is an Afro-style haircut. Namely, a short haircut with curly hair.



Such hair is naturally characteristic of African women. But among European girls, there are also owners of small curls. Afro hairstyles were popular in the 1970s, and it was under their influence that the perm fashion emerged in those years. In 2018, short haircuts with small curls are back in fashion.



Also in 2018, short shoulder-length hair can be worn with a side parting and with a "virtually no styling" effect, as suggested by Balmain and Gucci.



At the same time, as you have already noticed, both natural hair colors and blond are in fashion. For coloring individual strands, it is proposed to use blue or green colors.




We could not disregard another very interesting hairstyle of 2018, which could be seen at the Gucci show, the "Wolf" haircut with blue hair. The she-wolf haircut is a stepped haircut with the effect of the volume of the upper part of the hairstyle. This hairstyle is worn with bangs, most often, up to the eyebrow line. The she-wolf haircut is done mainly for medium-length hair, so that it takes an intermediate step between hairstyles for short and long hair.



The advantage of the she-wolf haircut is that it is ideal for girls with a round face who are not suitable for the trendy pixie haircut in 2018. After all, the "Wolf" hairstyle visually stretches the face, thereby giving it the shape of an ideal oval.
