Cutting your hair shorter for summer might be a bit cliché, but it’s a recurring hair trend for a good reason. “If you don’t want to be bothered by your hair, cut it,” hairstylist Kinda Wright-Horn plainly tells Marie Claire. While bobs, bixies, and broccoli cuts (yes, it’s a thing) are all viable options that lead to easier air drying and styling, 2024 is shaping up to be the year of the pixie cut trend—just look to Cardi B for proof.
The rapper debuted a new, slightly shaggy pixie cut within an Instagram Story on Tuesday, June 25. It's not just perfectly on trend—it's also very in line with her style. "Every pixie cut should be versatile,” explains Wright-Horn. “You should be able to wear it down, spike it up, or curl it.”
With a bit of a bang and layers down the sides and back, Cardi's rendition lends itself to endless styling options. And if we know one thing about the "Bongos" singer, it’s that she likes to experiment with her look.
On Instagram Stories, Cardi B showed her followers a first glimpse at her new pixie cut.
She’s tried almost every length, style, and color. We’ve seen her with pink, blue, and ombre hair. She’s had bangs. In fact, just last week, her hair was butt-length and embellished with over 25 little coquette-style bows.
But hair inspiration isn’t the only beauty example the mom of two has to offer. Per her latest social media post, we can now expect earring content from the creator, too. “I came here for one thing,” Cardi says via Instagram Stories, pointing to celebrity body piercer Harrison McCall. “Look what he did to me,” she laughs.
Cardi B has always been experimental with her hair. She's tried everything from slicked-back buns (shown here), to long waves, to now, her pixie cut.
With that, she turns her ear to the camera and debuts a new upper and lower helix piercing and a conch piercing. "The conch refers to the center 'bowl' of the ear," Sarah Lacy, a registered nurse, and Associate Director of Piercing Research and Innovation at ear piercing studio Rowan, previously told Marie Claire. "Like the helix, this part of the ear comprises cartilage."
I’m not saying you need a pixie cut to get a conch piercing, but Cardi was onto something by pairing the two together.
