Jennifer Lawrence is opening up about her infamous pixie-haircut era. The actor recently appeared in Vogue’s “73 Questions” series, and when asked if she has advice for anyone who wants to try out the haircut, she had quite a bit to get off her chest.
“First off, that’s mean,” Lawrence jokingly said. “Obviously my advice is don’t do it. Think everything through.” Lawrence went on to say that she would highly appreciate it if anyone could add extensions to any pictures of her pixie cut that they come across on the internet. (“Jennifer Lawrence’s pixie cut” has subsequently been trending ever since.)
While Lawrence wasn’t personally a fan of the pixie cut when she wore it in 2013, the style is a year-round staple for a reason. Also known as a pixie crop, the haircut is lauded for its versatility. It looks great on all face shapes, and round, heart-shaped, and oval faces are particularly well-suited for the look. Overall, the cut is typically no more than three inches in length, with shorter hair at the back and sides of the head and slightly longer hair at the front. It’s a chic, low-maintenance style that has an effortless “I woke up like this” feel.
If you’re considering a pixie cut, take some inspiration from Lawrence herself, who’s worn different iterations of the style (and looked incredible in all of them, if you ask us), ahead.
