Your hair can make a huge impact, and that's something truly beautiful. We've teamed up with Just Cuts to bring you expert styling tips to make the most of your new 'do. 

Embrace the texture of your new style cut 

According to Just Cuts expert stylists, one of the best things about a bob or pixie style cut is how it accentuates your natural hair texture. Whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curly, these shorter styles can bring out the best in your locks. Don't be afraid to let your hair air dry or use a texture-enhancing product to define those natural waves or curls. 

Straight hair: a smoothing serum or leave-in conditioner will create a sleek, polished finish.

Play with styling tools

A pixie or bob cut gives you plenty of room to experiment with styling tools, whether it’s a straightener, curling iron, or blow dryer. A bob can be worn sleek and smooth or with soft, beachy waves. Meanwhile, a pixie cut is great for experimenting with volume and texture.

For a
bob, a round brush while blow-drying can add volume, while a flat iron can smooth things out. For a messy, beachy vibe, add some texture spray and scrunch. For a pixie, create an edgy, tousled style by using a flat iron to add bends and then a pomade or wax. If you prefer a more polished look, a blow-dry with a bit of product can give you that sleek, sophisticated feel.

Know your face shape 

Some style cuts can enhance your features while others can make a statement. Just Cuts stylists will always consider your face shape when recommending the perfect style cut.

Round Faces: opt for a bob that hits just below the chin to create angles and elongate the face. A textured pixie cut works great to add volume and height on top.

Oval Faces: almost any style works, but for a bob, try adding soft layers for texture. A pixie with layers can also frame your face beautifully.

Square Faces: a chin-length bob with soft, layered bangs will balance out angular features. For a pixie, go for a softer look with volume at the crown.

Keep your hair healthy and shine bright 

 A fresh, stylish cut looks its best when your hair is healthy and shiny. Keep your hair nourished by using high-quality shampoos, conditioners, and masks, especially those tailored for shorter haircuts. Regular trims are also essential. 

Add personal touches with accessories 

Accessories can elevate your look. A fun, colourful headband or a stylish hair clip can add personality and make your new style even more unique. Consider adding a silk scarf for an elegant touch or go with a bold hair clip for something fun and fashionable. 

Keep it low maintenance with the right cut 

Bobs and pixie cuts can be incredibly low maintenance. These cuts are easy to manage on a day-to-day basis, requiring less time to style compared to longer hair.
