Emma watson’s prada pixie cut
Published

Emma Watson is the face of the new Prada Paradoxe campaign and revealed a cute pixie cut in her directorial debut, highlighting her stunning face shape.
The actress and activist first sported a pixie cut at the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One premier in 2010 and now it's the return of the 60s style but with a shorter cut. A host of hairdressers agree that this new cut is a versatile and fun style to work with. Lisa Carter of Vivienne Johns' A List says Emma's bold move to the pixie cut will create a new vision in the hairdressing industry, "Her return to the cut that brings her beautiful facial features out has been given a brand-new edge that feels mature and bang on trend.We have seen a movement which has seen hair trends from the 70's and 90's make a comeback with a modern twist. Emma has unleashed her inner prowess and will inspire many others to brave the chop and go for an edgy MOD vibe to the classic pixie cut."
Matrix Artist Ambassador Simon Townley adds: “Emma is absolutely rocking this look! We’ve been obsessed with balayage and long hair over the last decade so is this the start of people expressing their personalities again? I hope so. Short hair is as cool as it’s ever been and salons are reacting to this with gender neutral pricing. Long hair on men and short hair on women it doesn’t matter anymore, hair is returning to the way it should be and that is an external expression of
yourself.”

L'Oréal Professionnel Partner Craig Taylor from Hari’s says, “The best way to tell if a pixie cut would suit is to scrape the hair tight in a ponytail and judge the suitability. The cut can be adjusted by softening around the edges or leaving longer length on top for further bespoke suitability. It’s low maintenance and at a time where individuality is on trend, working with hair’s natural movement and texture, the pixie cut is and has always been the perfect cut for nurturing and enhancing texture; a mousse such as L’Oréal Professionnel Curl Expression Cream in Mousse is perfect for this.”
Michelle Brace of Vivienne Johns' A List adds: "Emma Watsons pixie cut is bold yet soft and feminine. With its hairline blunt bangs, softer sides, and razor textured layers it encompasses the perfect mix of masculine and feminine making it gender fluid. Clients should consider their face shape when going for this style, this type of cut would suit mainly oval and heart shaped faces but can be adapted by altering the length of the bangs and sides when working with round or square face shapes."
Matrix Artist Ambassador Michelle Summers Davies says adding colour adds dimension to the short haircut, giving it a funkier and lighter look. “Adding some flexes of colour gives this style some attitude. Many clients who are embracing their natural grey are opting for this hairstyle, and by adding light and dark tips gives that salt and pepper look. However, if you want your pixie cut to be seen, never underestimate the impact of a full-on monochromatic colour, or scalp bleach and toner to make the beautiful style stand out. Matrix Light Master would be perfect for this.”

L’Oréal Professionnel Partner Olly Ay from Hari’s describes it as soft, feminine and increasing in demand from clients. “A large majority of my female clients are opting for shorter styles and requesting a recommended maintenance routine that’s minimal and can be self-styled. Lots of layers is key, as Emma’s style grows out, the more the disconnected the layers are the better as this will lend to lots of softening natural texture achieved. It’s really easy to look after – a spritz of a texturising spray such as L’Oréal Professionnel TECNI.ART Pli keeps hair in place and adds further texture.
Pulp Riot Artist Katie Geddes believes adding colour will bring the pixie cut to life with depth and dimension – and is the perfect canvas to have some fun. “A pixie cut is a great style to be super experimental and play around with colour placement. As much as you think you don’t have much wriggle room, it’s beautifully versatile. A block colour through the fringe area looks great, especially if it complements the skin tone and eye colour – purple on green eyes is incredible! Pulp Riot Fantasy Collection Elixir is a mystical purple and would work wonders on a short fringe. A pop of copper with Emma’s pixie cut would look amazing, it would really bring out her eyes and warm up her skin tone. Don’t be scared to get creative.”
