Haircuts
A hairstyle, hairdo, haircut or coiffure refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human scalp. Sometimes, this could also mean an editing of facial or body hair. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles. The oldest known depiction of hair styling is hair braiding which dates back about 30,000 years. In history, women's hair was often elaborately and carefully dressed in special ways, though it was also often kept covered outside the home, especially for married women. From the time of the Roman Empire until the Middle Ages, most women grew their hair as long as it would naturally grow. Between the late 15th century and the 16th century, a very high hairline on the forehead was considered attractive. Around the same period, European men often wore their hair cropped no longer than shoulder-length. In the early 17th century, mal ...

Long Hair
Long hair is a hairstyle where the head hair is allowed to grow to a considerable length. Exactly what constitutes long hair can change from culture to culture, or even within cultures. For example, a woman with chin-length hair in some cultures may be said to have short hair, while a man with the same length of hair in some of the same cultures would be said to have long hair. Males having short, cut hair are in many cultures viewed as being under society's control, such as while in the military or prison or as punishment for a crime. Long lustrous female hair is generally rated attractive by both men and women across cultures. The prevalence of trichophilia (hair partialism or fetishism) is 7% in the population, and very long hair is a common subject of devotion in this group.

Pixie Cut
A pixie cut is a short hairstyle, generally short on the back and sides of the head and slightly longer on the top, with very short bangs. It is a variant of a crop. The name is derived from the mythological pixie. History Pixie cuts were popularized first in the 1950s when Audrey Hepburn wore the style in her debut film ''Roman Holiday'', and later in the 1960s by actress Mia Farrow (notably in Roman Polanski’s ''Rosemary's Baby''), British supermodel Twiggy, and then even later by ''Laugh-In'' star Goldie Hawn. Jean Seberg also sported a pixie cut for Otto Preminger's '' Bonjour Tristesse'' and Jean-Luc Godard’s ''Breathless''. The crop became fashionable again in the late 1970s and 1980s, with one of its most notable wearers being the actress Jacqueline Pearce in the British TV series ''Blake's 7''. The crop also was big in the mid 1990s, and Halle Berry appeared in the 2002 James Bond film ''Die Another Day'' wearing a crop. Pixies are very easy to maintain and can be ...
