25 Halle Berry Approved Ways To Style Your Pixie Cut

Halle Berry's icon status was solidified years ago and it includes her pixie cut. The Academy Award-winning actress has been rocking her signature look since the early '90s and with a track record that long, it's no wonder why the mother of two is the unofficial face of short haircuts. For many, the holiday season signifies a need for change, which may or may not include a big chop. Whether you're thinking about grabbing the scissors or already took the plunge, Berry's hair evolution is all the inspiration you need because contrary to popular belief, having short hair shouldn't limit your styling options. Here are 25 ways to wear a pixie cut, according to Berry herself.
