A pixie crop
Thought a pixie crop was just reserved for those girls with straight hair? Think again! A cropped ‘do – when cut correctly – will actually work to complement your curls, by making them appear more defined and bouncy. When visiting the stylist’s chair, simply ask for a pixie crop that’s slightly longer on top, and to have your hair thinned out a little, too. Remember: the lighter your curls, the bouncier they’ll be!
Editor’s tip: To really help your pixie stand out from the crowd, we suggest applying some of the Toni&Guy Prep Curl Defining Oil to damp tresses, and allowing them to air dry. This will help tame and smooth your curls, and give them a high-impact finish!

Once you’ve got your short bob haircut, you’ll need to style your mane. Scrunch some VO5 Smoothly Does It Frizz Free Creme into damp hair and style into a deep side parting, before letting your curls air dry. This way they’ll dry fluffy, but not frizzy – just what you’re after!
