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 The pixie cut was first popularized in the 1950s, when Audrey Hepburn wore the style in ''Roman Holiday'' (1953). "Hepburn went a long way to making short hair mainstream and got a lot of credit for popularizing the pixie cut," explains hair historian Rachael Gibson. Jean Seberg sported a pixie cut for Otto Preminger's ''Bonjour Tristesse'' (1958) and Jean-Luc Godard's '' Breathless'' (1960). Further in the 1960s, the look was worn by actress Mia Farrow (notably in '' Rosemary's Baby'' from 1968), British model Twiggy, American model, actress and socialite Edie Sedgwick, and ''Laugh-In'' (1968–73) star Goldie Hawn. Pixie cuts became fashionable again in 1990, with its most notable wearer being Demi Moore in that year's top grossing film: ''Ghost''. ''Us Week ...

Hairstyle
A hairstyle, hairdo, haircut, or coiffure refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human head but sometimes on the face or body. 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. Women's hair was often elaborately and carefully dressed in special ways, though it was also frequently kept covered outside the home, especially for married women.

Hairstyles are markers and signifiers of social class, age, marital status, racial identification, political beliefs, and attitudes about gender.

Waif
A waif (from the Old French , )Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/waif (accessed: June 02, 2008) is a person removed, by hardship, loss or other helpless circumstance, from their original surroundings. The most common usage of the word is to designate a homeless, forsaken or orphaned child, or someone whose appearance is evocative of the same. As such, the term is similar to a :wikt:ragamuffin, ragamuffin or street urchin, although the main distinction is volitional: a runaway youth might live on the streets, but would not properly be called a waif as the departure from one's home was an exercise of free will. Likewise, a person fleeing their home for purposes of safety (as in response to political oppression or natural disaster), is typically considered not a waif but a refugee. Literature Orphaned children, left to fend for themselves, are common as literary protagonists, especially in children's and fantasy literatu ...
