Short wedge?

Google "long pixie cut". I saw several that are like Mrs. McCain's style.

I think this is such a flattering hairstyle and versatile whether you like conservative or edgy. I can't have anything short in the back because of a really low hairline. I'd have to shave my neck everyday!

Maye Musk also has a similar style.

The name for that style is "Absolute Class!" I know I'm not being helpful, but I had not seen photos of her before so this one really impressed me. I would like a short hairstyle but DH doesn't want me to. Plus, I have no knack for styling anything and would inevitably not keep up with the trims for a short do.

I had my hair cut short in May and it is very similar to Cindy McCain's. A friend at work had an inspiration picture on her phone, which she shared with me. I took it to my stylist and she worked her magic by referring to the picture. Dang, I can't find it now.

What makes that style more youthful than a typical pixie (my stylist calls it "your aunt's hairstyle) is the long bangs swept to the side. My base was light brown with highlights brought into the long bang area. It has been a godsend this summer with the heat.

Find a picture and take it with you when you go for your next visit. Here is my inspiration for my next visit, as I let my hair grow longer for fall/winter:

I don't know what it's called but I grew my hair out over the summer to be pretty much like Bonnie's photo above. Still trying to figure out the bangs as I don't like them swept completely to the side or in my eyes.

3katz, I found this video recently and found it useful for tips to handle long side swept bangs:

My hairdresser called it a 'high wedge' in the back. I did something similar, but longer around the jawline, so it looks more like a bob.

That's what I have now, the stacked back and longer in front at the jawline like a bob. And I keep grabbing the hair at the jawline and saying that I want that cut, but she doesn't get it.

It pains me to say this, but the Kardashian mom has a great haircut. My hair stylist kinda borrowed from it for my current haircut. We each promised each other we'd never admit to it.

No wonder it’s hard to get that cut just by name, it’s been called high wedge, short wedge, long pixie, not your aunt’s pixie, and Mother K’s secret cut just in this thread.

What I would give to pull it off, it’s a great look. I have 1) too much curl, 2) too much frizz, and 3) no styling talent.

Look at that, John McCain is still helping the American public. We wouldn’t have seen Cindy’s picture if not for his death. Next visit with your stylist, show her photos of Cindy McCain on your phone. Good luck and report back.

Mother K’s secret cut...LOL.

My hairdresser said they call this the "I'd like to speak to your manager" bob.

Holy Cow. Bonnie brought Dominique (one of the news anchors here) to GW/Houzz!

I just discovered Dominique last week - I love her styling tips for short hair. Unfortunately I seem to be totally incapable of doing it myself...

This is her video on 4 pixie hairstyles.

Here's the other side of her haircut from the funeral

I haven't read the replies but it's a boycut. Some are super short. Google it and you'll get a lot of pictures.

The style is nice but on Cindy it makes her look cold. I noticed that today. Boy she sure does have beautiful blue eye's though!

And here's another picture (sorry about the size, I can't seem to get it smaller)

texanjana, your haircut is so cute! I would call that a gamine cut. It is similar but I don't want the sideburns in front of the ears because my hair won't lay well there.

Googling Kris Jenner and her hair took me into all sorts of tangents this afternoon.

I wouldn't try and describe it. Can you take a photo along?

My Pinterest features a million pixie cuts because I can get very ocd about finding The Perfect Photo to bring to the salon. Here’s one of Carey Mulligan, who is just adorable, without the sideburns in front of the ear.

A picture's worth a thousand words...

Also look at some pictures of Robin Wright as her House of Cards character. Sometimes it’s a bit longer, it there are a lot of shots out there of the boy cut.

Tried to post this last night but didn’t work. Hope it doesn’t pop up twice. This is similar to what you want, I think?

The adorable Carey Mulligan.

Actually, I'm wrong. The pic I posted must not be of the same funeral as there are fewer strings of pearls around her neck...don't know which funeral that was then...

I agree, very Robin Wright. Kind of architectural.

I like how Cindy McCain's cut and style almost look like a French twist from the front and sides.

alex9179, I've been watching Dominique's packing videos on Youtube. From there I learned she's a TV anchor.

Looks like her dog could use some of her grooming tips:

I'm assuming in an average month, although from the way the dog looks it could be an average year!

Her bio

I 'discovered' Dominique's youtube channel a few weeks ago. While my hair is not exactly the same, I've learned from her styling videos. I've watched a bunch of her makeup and fashion videos too. I like her style and her personality.

Cindy McCain's hair was longer in Arizona than when she got here to Washington, DC. It had been cut and restyled. In Arizona at her husband's memorial her hair was put up in a French twist type of look. By the time she was seen here today in Washington, DC it was cut into a pixie with a longer side swept bang. She wore a hat to the Washington National Cathedral as well.

Hmmm....those hair styling videos were quite helpful. I need a bigger round brush but I tried some of her methods and it was an improvement even with the brush I have. I need to watch again to see what mousse product she referred to.

I think Cindy McCain's hair is severe looking on her. But this hasn't been the time for her to sass up her hair. With the shot Annie shows, there's got to be a LOT of holding product keeping it sleeked back, because mine would tumble forward without it.

I love Dominque's videos. She's a pro in front of the camera. What kills me is one I watched yesterday she was styling her hair that she claimed hadn't been washed in days. It was shiny and fresh looking and I can't figure out how she does it. I think I'm doing great skipping one day between shampoos.

ETA: My hair isn't oily like it used to be but I frankly can't stand hair that doesn't smell fresh.

I am sending a link of a woman on YouTube who has a similiar pixie hairstyle..Enjoy. hairhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk66dvlebkw

style.

The person in the video will show you two ways to style it and she uses a round brush. She is over 50 and a very elegant woman.

If only I had as much hair on my head as that woman. :(

A good hair stylist can adapt your hair to most any style taking into consideration the type of hair you have.

I agree Jennifer, it just takes more product and a good technique. At my hair appointment tomorrow I hope to achieve a look similar to my fall/winter inspiration pic above.

Buy some hair volume powder! I swear it makes hair "bigger". And gives your hair excellent grip. I HATE shiney hair, matte every time for me. I love second day hair. Much easier to "fluff", and style.

I think her hair-do is cute but I would NOT be able to stand those banging trying to get into my eyes. I'd be constantly brushing them to the side and out of my eyes. I can't stand seeing someone constantly futzing with their bangs.

You can try a variation of the style with shorter bangs that can be worn forward or back or to the side. I, have a pixie and cut my shoulder length hair in May of 2013. I loved the ease of styling my shorter hair and get lots of compliments on it as well. People tell me I look younger. I do not like my bangs to get in my eyes either. I took a few YouTube tutorials on how to trim my own bangs between salon visits. That brings up one more item. I spend more money on salon visits with shorter hair then when it was shoulder length. You will find that to keep it edgy will require a good trim every four weeks. If I wait until six weeks--my hair grows so fast--then it gets out of control, or at least I feel it does. Overall I love the style.

Yesterday I bought some Got2Be mousse that Dominique touts all the time. I used a tiny bit and I can't really say what it did for my hair, but the smell is atrocious and followed me around all day. I refuse to use anything, esp. on my hair, that doesn't smell good. Therefore, this stuff is unusable. Fortunately it was less than $7, so I'm not irate.

I believe that her dog is a Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier - our favorite pooch. The grooming of her dog is pretty much the Wheaten standard. Lost both of ours in 2016. :[
