Agyness Deyn works the pixie hairstyle

If you're looking for a new haircut to take you into next year why not go for the chop and get a pixie style cut?

The crop is a great statement with everyone from Hollywood starlet Katie Holmes to Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding sporting the look.

A pixie hair cut can work whatever your style. You could give it a messy edgy look like Agyness Deyn, who sometimes spikes the length of the hair, or you could go for a sophisticated mature look like Victoria Beckham, who keeps her hair tidy or slicked down in a side parting.

Posh's hairstylist, Garren, of Garren of New York said of the cut: "It was clear that we had to go short and create a new look that embraced her beauty, great personality and body."

Fashion idol Audrey Hepburn worked the style in the 1950s going for a crop when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Roman Holiday.

Sixties 'It' girl Twiggy's pixie crop gave her an iconic look during her modelling days. The cut really made the most of her gorgeous big eyes.

The pixie cut hasn't always been popular though, when Linda Evangelista first cropped her hair in 1988, all of her runway bookings were cancelled.

When going for the crop it is best to show your hairdresser a photo in of how you would like your hair to look, they will be able to tell you if the style will work for you.
