pixie cuts

Short elfin hair

A pixie cut is a short women's hairstyle with the hair cropped close to the head, typically with longer pieces at the top or front.

The style evokes the impish, elfin look of its namesake fairy creature.

Pixie cuts became fashionable after Audrey Hepburn wore one in *Roman Holiday*: She decided to get a pixie cut for the summer.
