There is a vexing little style that's sweeping across Hollywood and the rest of the fashion world alike: the pixie. No haircut is easier to maintain yet at the same time entrancing as this one. All over the country, women are chopping off their long locks (or extensions) and trading them in for a look that's chic and effortless - yet versatile.

The pixie became popular in the 1920's as part of the iconic flapper look. It had another resurgance in the 1960's with actresses such as Mia Farrow and models like Twiggy. Women all over America embraced it - and never looked back. Again, the pixie is back in 2011, with many of Hollywood's leading ladies welcoming it with open arms.

No longer does long hair define beauty. Beautiful faces need not hide behind a full mane. Damaged, dry hair and split ends be gone. It's the perfect (and possibly most economically-friendly) way to get a major makeover.

Another great benefit to the pixie is that it works with many face shapes - especially the hard-to-style round face. The shortness elongates the neck, defines cheek bones, and brings attention to the eyes. It also pairs great with extra-feminine looks. It's the perfect balance to a girlie dress.

Perhaps a pixie cut isn't for everyone - but it works for so many. Never has a hairstyle been so magical on and off the red carpet - yet so simple all at once. This cut might be replaced again by long locks or mod bobs, but it's timelessness will surely make it popular for decades to come.
