If we look back at celebrity hairstyles in 2013, there is no doubt that the biggest trend was the pixie cut. Everyone from Beyonce to Jennifer Lawrence to Pamela Anderson ditched their signature long locks in favor of sleek and sophisticated pixies. 

While not everyone was a fan of this trend, I for one commend these stars for ditching the extensions and over-styling that goes into maintaing long locks. 

Ive discussed many times the risks that come with the use of extensions and weaves, but no matter how many celebrities fall victim, women still seem to love the ever-changing looks they provide. Hopefully, more women will take a cue from these stars and give their hair a break this year. A good hair cut is a great way to get your hair healthy again, as long as you change the habits that were damaging your hair in the first place! 

The pixie wasnt the only big celebrity hair trend in 2013, for a recap of other hairstyles that had people talking, check out Styleites current feature, here.
