If you want Julia Fox’s curtain crop (long in the front, shorter out back), it’s worth letting your hairdresser know before they pull out the scissors, as the key to this style is in the actual shape (you need to have enough fringe, basically).
“Bring inspiration photos and discuss your lifestyle with your stylist – this helps us tailor the cut to your needs,” Casella advises. “If your hair has a specific texture or thickness, your stylist can recommend adjustments to make the cut work best for you.” Fortunately, the Julia Fox crop works for pretty much anyone – including curlier hair types.

Of everyone who’s been heralding the pixie cut as of late, Iris Law tends to get the most experimental, sometimes wearing it slicked to the side (more on that later), while other times keeping it sort of ruffled and elfin. The key to the more textured look (above) is product, product, product.
Casella recommends using hair paste – his go-to is SachaJuan – in order to “shape and define the layers without weighing the hair down. It’s perfect for achieving that piece-y, effortless look.” If you want to go properly wet-look, hairstylist Paul Edmonds recommends air-drying before applying “Kérastase’s Crème Sublime Hair Cream and Shu Uemura’s Essence Absolue Oil”. Essentially, so long as you’ve got the right product, you can tease the hair into whatever shape you like.
