We’re willing to bet that some of the people closest to you are secretly envying your naturally curly hair, even if you have days when it’s the last thing that you want to have. It’s not that you don’t love your ringlets. It’s just that there are definitely times when they can be, shall we say “unruly”? So much so that even the most expensive product has a hard time taming them.
If this is what you’ve been going through when it comes to your hair and that’s what’s been preventing you from going as short as you would like, our suggestion is not to straighten it, but to go with a cut that will bring out the best in your wavy and curly texture.
Hmm…maybe some of these wavy and curly pixie cuts perhaps?

The blonde chunks in the front bring the focus to the face. That makes playing up the eyes a lot more fun to do!
Long wavy Mohawk pixie
The reason why we call this a “Mohawk pixie” is because if the sides were shaved, that’s exactly what this cut would be. This is basically the kind of Mohawk look for the kind of woman who wants to give the cut a try without doing something that is too drastic.
