There are all kinds of pixie cuts out and all kinds of mullets. But combine a short pixie mullet with dreadlocks and you’ve got a unique haircut. In this video taken from the internet, Sergey Zaroslav creates a mullet pixie around existing dreadlocks. The client’s overgrown curly hair is given a trim while adding layers and texture.
The stylist starts off by contouring. He addresses the curtain bangs and face frames with a Feather Plier Razor. After bringing the hair forward, he uses a Feather Styling Razor to remove weight and give added texture. He continues to add layers by addressing the hair on top, raising the sections vertically and channel cutting. He continues to use a Feather Styling Razor to do the sides and back. Finally, he diffuses the hair and does some dry cutting for final details. The end result is an edgy shaggy pixie mullet shape. The shorter overall length looks much better with the dreadlocks. Now she’s Instagram ready!
Modern pixie mullets are cute short hairstyles that can work on various hair texture. It can work on thick hair and fine hair type, but your blade choice and methods might differ. With dreadlocks, a pixie haircut, mullet haircut, mixie haircut or even a short wolf cut on top could work. Whatever kind of cut is given, work to accentuate the client’s face shape and hair color to give the most complimentary style.
