Shattered Cat Woman Pixie

This textured pixie was inspired by the iconic Cat Woman movie from the early 2000s. I used my Feather Styling Razor to give the cut a shattered effect. I prefer the Feather Styling Razor for creating a razored/shattered look because it makes it easy to stay consistent in my technique. I can hold it several different ways depending on the section I take or the type of cut. I took vertical sections using a slide cutting technique to maintain length at the front to frame the face and add detail pieces.

This textured pixie was inspired by the iconic Cat Woman movie from the early 2000s. I used my Feather Styling Razor to give the cut a shattered effect. I prefer the Feather Styling Razor for creating a razored/shattered look because it makes it easy to stay consistent in my technique. I can hold it several different ways depending on the section I take or the type of cut. I took vertical sections using a slide cutting technique to maintain length at the front to frame the face and add detail pieces. I took 1/2" sections and used a traveling guide around the sides and back, maintaining a little length around the nape and front hairline to give that shattered look. I used a point cutting technique with the razor going in vertically, pressing the guarded blade against my thumb and pulling up - a 'grip and pull' method that is easy to do with the guarded blade. For the top, I took about 1" sections from the crown to the front of the hairline, elevating the hair at 90' and blending into the fringe using a round layer. To detail and finish the cut, I removed weight at the fringe with interior texturizing, holding very little tension in the hair as I slide cut then feathering length around the ear and blended into the front and back. I also used the razor to clean the neck without risking cutting the skin. After rough drying the hair, I used a fiber paste and pinched the hair to enhance this textured look. See this cut from start to finish in my Education CONNECT video.
