How 'edgy' a pixie cut can I get away with?

[PacificDogwod]

Honest opinions, please, suitable for RL

I am 50.
Have mid-brown (hennaed) hair.
Some wave/frizz
I live and work in semi-rural suburbia.

I have finally come off the fence made an appointment to have my mid-back length hair cut to a pixie - the change in length does not particularly phase me, I've done it several times in my lifetime. It's only hair

Here's my question: I quite fancy something really very short sides and back (maybe a gentle bit of undercut?) with a longer top. Am quite happy to be a bit edgy but not ludicrously so. I wear no make-up day to day, I have no facial piercings and no tattoos and work in a job in which I really don't want to scare the horses. Or the neighbours.
So all the many lovely mohican pixies I have wasted hours and hours on looked at online are really not an option.

So, am I having some kind of hair related mid-life crisis? Am I nuts?
Should i just embrace my inner Deirdre and settle for Middle-Aged Hair??

Help!

Yes.
Though dont be listening to me, Im a fat, giant faced bloke.

This is a classic pixie cut

I personally, think crops look best on a square face.

Whatshername from Big Bang Theory Kayley thingimmy is a good example

Peny penny penny

I have a longer version - purely to cover up my ears as they stick out a bit 😳.....it's short through the back & tapers over my ears, with a fair bit of texture.

My hair is quite thin, so it helps it to appear thicker & it takes me 5 minutes in the morning to style.

I'm 44 & I don't think it's ageing - I love having short hair, it's so much easier to deal with....

Whoops

Need to delete that i think

Right try again

Rufus and Moon love those. Poor dithery Pdog has too much to choose from now Rufus I love your hair colour

Great haircuts.

Rufus I LOVE your hair but mines way too frizzy to attempt that. Loving all your short cuts. Very inspiring!

Ah yes, crap. more bloody choice!
Thanks a lot!!

I am getting seriously excited now.
Want a leetle bit of an undercut, not shaved but really tight in to the sides/back (no sweaty neck for me on holiday, no siree!)

I always worry about looking blokish, but I find having boobage helps in that department.

HD, yours are all v cool, augmented by your piercing. And, you know, tended to eyebrows. And lip gloss. I am a bit more minimalist than that

Holy mother of cheeses, I just googled 'hairy woman'!
Do NOT do that

Anyway, I've also got an appointment to get my eyebrows sorted.
May consider tinted lashes too...

They look perfectly acceptable when my face is naked too you know

I will have to post a photo tomorrow now, won't I?
Because I owe you biatches?!

Yay. Tidy eyebrow s make people think your much more groomed than you really are.

Don't tint your eyelashes get to a Wilkos and buy the Esscence £2 waterproof mascara, gives lovely lengthened natural looking lashes, and you could throw a hurricane at your face and it wouldn't budge. Yet it is the lazy girls friend as it comes off fine with warm water.

Yes ..... But we'll forgive you if you don't want to,

I might post a pic with sunnies on

Really? That Wilko's stuff sounds good, thanks for the tip.

I think a 'true' pixie might be a bit more specific as to face shape, but there is a 'short style' for everyone.

Would deffo like a photo pacific

Thanks honey and zippy, its a very easy hairstyle . I have had it for nearly 20 years now!

I love moons hair and loads of the longer pixie cuts,,.i just know they will drive me insane

Rufus, love the hair, I do like a proper pixie crop{sighs wistfully while growing out a pixie and forgetting what wispy fluffy hair I have}

However, what was the rocky road recipe?

I will find it for you

Have they not removed it yet

Doh

Rocky road

Hi my recipe was 4 oz of plain choc, 4oz of milk choc, melted with 4 oz unsalted butter and 2 tbsp of syrup.

Add 8oz broken digestive biscuits, I added 2oz raisins, 5oz maltesers and 5oz marshmallows (the recipe called for 4 oz of choc chips, 4oz of maltesers and 4oz of marshmallows, it also used ginger nut biscuits and 8 oz of plain choc)

It suggested a 20 inch square pan lined with greaseproof paper, squash it in and pop in fridge for at least 2 hours
