No

If you have pixie features and quirky style then yes. I would look like a bad Bon Jovi trib with that!

HatStickBoots · 15/07/2026 00:16

Yes!

MrsTerryPratchett · 15/07/2026 00:17

It's one of those 'ugly unless you're stunning' styles. Like micro bangs ans septum piercings.

WhereYouLeftIt · 15/07/2026 00:25

I had to look that up.

It's all right. Just a very conformist way of trying to look non-conforming.

BusterGonad · 15/07/2026 01:09

Some are cute, some are not so cute. Depends which particular one you're going for. A photo would be so helpful tbh.

Lentilcakes · 15/07/2026 04:23

It’s a no from me.

Blueuggboots · 15/07/2026 04:24

Absolutely not.

macaroon8 · 15/07/2026 04:24

Yes.

Jewelanemone · 15/07/2026 04:47

It could easily look more Frodo than Tinkerbell 😬

boundarysponge · 15/07/2026 05:35

I like that style. Blunt cut long hair looks so dated now.

I don't understand this objection - it's quite fashionable, why would you think someone was trying to look non conforming?

Overtheatlantic · 15/07/2026 05:59

Only if you’re cara delevigne.

GarlicEverywhere · 15/07/2026 06:25

Bold choice.

Do you have a pretty face with big eyes and delicate features? And a competent stylist who actually likes you?

Then, yes. Otherwise, no. Although the cut leaves plenty of scope for a restyle - and hair grows. So, what the hell, yes. Go for it!

Because people think they're edgy/cool when in reality they're just a clone of everyone else.

Like the current trend for young women wearing very revealing clothing or sports socks pulled half way up the calf. If it wasn't fashionable, people who wore those clothes would get destroyed by their peers.

This is what I have now my hair is growing out from a pixie as the back grows way longer that the sides or front. It’s a big no, I hate it 🤣 I’m very short and have a tiny head but I really do just look like a hobbit. I’ve never really known how to do my hair so i just leave it, it winds me up. If you’re good with styling and have delicate features then yeah go for it, but it’s hard to maintain so I just don’t.

MinnieCoops · 15/07/2026 08:31

Unless you’re Natalie Imbrulia then no.

KurtCobainLover · 15/07/2026 08:33

As someone who has a blue fairy mullet I’d say go for it! You can always grow it out if you don’t like it.

Freinddilemma · 15/07/2026 08:33

Its trying to say "im sooo freespirited and don't give a fuck!!!" but looking at the pictures its a carefree style that requires a whole lot of styling to look good: you need the front tamed but the back touseled. Most people are going to have naturally touseled/textured/flyaway hair (good for the back) OR sleek hair that lies flat (the front). Not both on the same head 😂
Its a bit like the beachy rooty balayage vibe thats supposed to look undone but actually costs £££
So basically: it feels try hard

I am 53. When i was late teens I smoked dope and did the odd pill. Grew up and moved on. Googled this style, all the people in my hometown who didnt grow up and move on look like this, raddled old hippy who has done fuck all with their life isnt a great look

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 15/07/2026 09:30

I manage social media for a very cool hair salon, and we have a lot of these cuts right now. I think they look great - but like everything it depends on the person! On an elfin featured 21 year old is very different to a raddled old hippy per @Jerrybalanitis I guess it’s about “being intentional” like the TikTok girlies say.

dudsville · 15/07/2026 09:30

I had to Google it. It looks cute. I don't get the pile on "you think you're edgy and cool but you're not" is odd. It's hair. It's a fun cut. Enjoy it!
