The very trendy hairstyles were either big hair (often permed) or else very short pixie cuts. Same with sheitels for married women, btw, lots of young trendy frum women had short pixie style wigs.
I think this sort of very short cut became popular from Dorothy Hamill the figure skater in the 70s.
Eventually it'll come back in style. Not everyone can pull it off, though. You need very delicate feminine features for it to be a flattering style. |
I'm pretty but not delicate. I look really good in a pixie cut.

Nowadays if your little girl rocks a pixie cut, people think you’re transitioning her.

It’s just not fashionable at the moment, so you don’t see it.
In addition, these days, anyone doing a pixie cut is automatically looked at as ‘hmmm, are they gay’ in certain circles. So that might hold some people back. My kids ENT wears a very feminine looking pixie, and wears it as a conversation piece, to bring awareness to breast cancer (she’s a survivor). I’ve heard numerous people ask if she’s gay due to her haircut 🤷♀️ |
I do know someone who cut it very very short and I thought something was up, fast forward and they are now a boy. the association doesn't come from nowhere.

It's very sad that the trans movement is bringing back outdated gender stereotypes.

Some people can pull it off but it is kind of a stereotype. Sad because long hair doesn't suit everyone |
Actually, there are so many comments on her that she & her daughter are gay. Especially on her daughter, she dresses like a boy.
People that don't know that pink is married, automatically assume she's gay. She's quite masculine. She has a podcast on this topic.

You said unmarried girls so I’m assuming you mean 20’s. If this girl wants to get married anytime soon I can almost guarantee a pixie haircut will delay that process and make it much more difficult.

I agree. It’s very sad and frustrating.

I feel you . I had a short haircut till I was 5 or so and then again when I was 8. I remember crying so hard and begging and wishing for long hair and just feeling hopeless like long hair was something other girls could have but I just wasnt worthy of it . Please ladies , don’t do this to your girls .
My hair looked something like this :

Isn’t it crazy how things that are so small can effect you so deeply ? My feelings of unworthiness followed me into adulthood. Obviously not just from this , but it was part of it . And I did have the features of it , I was very petite and have very small facial features. But it was still horrible . I just wanted to be a pretty little girl with long hair .

Yeah I initially thought it because she is kind of masculine but at the same time she really does pull it off and I think she looks good. She is married though to a guy. People say all kinds of things about celebrities

The pixie is making a return. It’s part of the 90s revival. I love them.

As others have said....Was totally common in the usa in the 80s LOL. Completely out of style now. think it was around even longer in EY. Kids still had it when I went to sem in the 90s- for all I know they still do.
For style reference:
In the Dina Dee books some of her friends have pixie cuts.
Do any shikufitzky friends have pixie cuts? Im prerty sure the mothers sheitel is pixie when she wears one.
OP, where is this question coming from? Of course its ok by "jewish law"?
And you specify unmarried girls, but of course loads of chassidish ladies who cover have pixie cut sheitels! So how cluld it be a problem?
In the yeshivish world plenty of older ladies

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. If you are short and not stick thin ( who is stick thin after a few pregnancies?) long hair/wig really emphasizes your lack of statue. It may be fashionable. But does it really suit you?
