This stylized razor blade haircut video is taken from the internet. Sergey Zaroslav demonstrates how he takes long grown out permed hair and chops it off with a straight edge razor to create a sophisticated, beautiful pixie haircut. Razor cutting with a straight razor, particularly the Feather Plier Razor, takes hair cutting to new levels and does what shears and scissors cannot. Razor haircuts can give texture, softness, volume and remove weight all at the same time. Razor cutting techniques give unique results which lend themselves well when it comes to pixies.
Sergey starts with the sides and back of the hair using a Feather Plier Razor and trims around the ear with a Feather Styling Razor which is safer to use when getting close to the skin. The stylist keeps the top hair length a little longer so the hair can fall and shape the face. This short style has built-in layers for extra movement and softness.
Pixies can look great on thin or thick hair. But if cutting hair that’s thin, be sure not to texturize too much. When dealing with fine hair, it’s better to use the Feather Texturizing Blade to remove less hair but still give texture. Pixie razor cut hairstyles like this one can also be made to be more shaggy if there was a slight wave or curl to the hair. Razor cuts for short hair are some of the best haircuts and are always popular on Instagram and other social platforms. And we think this cute razor blade haircut is truly Instagrammable as well!
