| The movie "Sabrina" was where Audrey's pixie first got its big start. At the beginningof the movie, as the awkward daughter of a chauffeur, Audrey dons shoulder length hair. The look was a bit blah and didn't suit the sophisticated woman Sabrina would become. When returning from France, Sabrina had a new style and new attitude, with a sassy new cut to match. It became a trademark look, with a twist: it doesn't have to be cut all over to get the look. There was short,choppy bangs up front, but the length can actually tucked away in the back, giving the hair a short appearance. It will resemble a very flat, demure French Roll. The bangs were heavy, but the sides were slicked down to the back of the head. The look will work when imitating any look worn by Audrey in the 1950s.If you are brave, get the pixie cut matched by a stylist. If you are scissor-shy, get the look by cutting the bangs to the mid forehead, then slick the hair back and pin it into place. Easy, right! For the most accuracy, match your hair color to Audrey's: get a dark chocolate hair rinse to duplicate the look exactly. |
