Welcome to Beauty Fail, Beauty Score! Here, we'll be scanning the newest trends among our favorite celebrities to see who got it right and who got a big fat F on her beauty report card. First trend up: the pixie cut.
This style is a huge trend this summer, and one we can expect to see stick around for fall. Short, sassy, and face-defining, this little hairstyle gives you a lot of variety — if done right.
Janet Jackson's Shaved Head: FAIL
Even if Jackson was shooting for a pixie cut, it probably wouldn't have turned out the way she was hoping for. "The coarser your hair is, the worse the pixie-cut option is for you," says Gary Howse, co-founder of the Gary Manuel Salon and the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute. "As you go shorter, coarse hair just gets bulkier. If you want to go the short pixie route, it’s best to invest in a keratin treatment first to thin the hair out."
It's not just coarse hair that has trouble pulling off the pixie — fine hair can get tricky too. "People with really fine hair should be careful about cutting their hair too short. You don't want to see the scalp, and if you go really short, you risk that," Howse says.
We're not quite sure what Jackson was aiming for, but her typically coarse hair along with her very visible scalp are two strikes against the pixie cut for her.
