Pixie & Big Frames

Finding the perfect haircut that truly works with glasses can feel like a quest, especially as we embrace our fabulous selves past 50. For years, I struggled with longer styles that either hid my frames or just felt perpetually messy. That’s when I decided to take the plunge into the world of pixie cuts, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer! One of the biggest concerns for many women, myself included, is finding a 'wash and wear' style. Who has time for elaborate styling every morning? A well-cut pixie or bixie (that's a bob-pixie hybrid, by the way!) is designed for just that. It's all about strategic layering and a cut that falls perfectly, framing your face without interfering with your eyewear. For us women over 60, this low-maintenance aspect is a dream come true, giving us more time for the things we love. When you're wearing glasses, your frames become an integral part of your face. A pixie cut accentuates your features, drawing attention to your eyes and, by extension, your stylish eyewear. I've found that a pixie with slightly longer pieces around the temples or a soft fringe can beautifully blend with the lines of my glasses, creating a cohesive and sophisticated look. It’s like the haircut and the glasses were made for each other! For those of us with fine hair or looking for some volume, a layered pixie or bixie can work wonders. Your stylist can add texture and dimension that makes your hair appear fuller, which is a fantastic benefit as hair tends to thin with age. Don't be afraid to discuss different lengths and angles – a skilled stylist can tailor the cut to flatter your specific face shape and complement your chosen frames. Whether you prefer a bold statement or something softer and more classic, there’s a pixie out there for you, perfectly paired with your glasses.
