The pixie cut, or “the great chop” as it’s know colloquially, has been a staple in beauty and style since the dawn of the 20th century. But what makes this hairstyle so timeless, chic and powerful?<\/p>\n

For the most part, it’s pretty effortless. Depending on how much work you put into it, a pixie cut can be as simple as rolling out of bed in the morning and giving your head a quick shimmy for texture and volume. But if you want to put in more effort, you could go the route of someone like Zo\u00eb Kravitz, whose pixie was laid down, which artfully framed her sculpted face, giving room for her garment to shine.<\/p>\n

Either way, the pixie has stuck around. The most recent celeb to rock this look is\u00a0Emily In Paris\u00a0<\/em>star Lily Collins, who debuted the great chop (which is most likely a wig) for her cover of\u00a0Elle<\/em> magazine. Collins and her stylist went the full Twiggy mile for this look, pairing the pixie with big, bold eyes with separated lashes and a front-facing flash of the camera.<\/p>\n
