Long pixie cuts are taking over as the must-have style for those wanting short hair with maximum impact. This grown-out version of the classic pixie offers versatility without the commitment of super-short locks. From celebrities to everyday trendsetters, these chic cuts prove that ‘short-ish’ hair delivers big on style and personality.
1. Textured Crop with Side-Swept Bangs
The perfect balance of edgy and feminine. Choppy layers create movement while longer side-swept bangs soften facial features.
Ideal for fine to medium hair, this cut requires minimal styling—just a bit of texturizing paste for that effortlessly tousled look.
2. Platinum Blonde Undercut Pixie
Bold meets beautiful with this statement-making cut. The platinum shade creates stunning contrast against the skin while the undercut adds edge.
Keep roots touched up every 3-4 weeks and use purple shampoo to maintain that ice-cool tone.
3. Curly Pixie with Volume on Top
Embrace natural texture with this gorgeous curly variation. Longer on top and tapered at the sides, it celebrates volume while maintaining a defined shape.
A curl-enhancing cream and diffuser are your best friends for defining those beautiful spirals.
4. Asymmetrical Bob-Pixie Hybrid
Can’t decide between a bob and pixie? This asymmetrical style gives you both! Longer on one side and gradually shorter on the other.
Flattering on all face shapes, this versatile cut can be worn sleek or textured depending on your mood.
5. Feathered Pixie with Wispy Nape
Softness defines this feminine cut. Feathered layers throughout create movement while wispy ends at the nape maintain a delicate silhouette.
A round brush and blow dryer are all you need to achieve this sophisticated yet effortless style.
6. Shaggy Pixie with Curtain Bangs
The ’70s influence makes this cut ultra-modern. Shaggy layers paired with face-framing curtain bangs create a relaxed yet put-together vibe.
Run texturizing spray through slightly damp hair and scrunch for that perfect lived-in texture.
7. Layered Pixie with Subtle Highlights
Dimension is the star of this sophisticated cut. Strategic layers create movement while subtle highlights accentuate the texture.
Low-maintenance yet high-impact, this style works beautifully on those transitioning from longer lengths.
8. Tapered Pixie with Long Crown
Versatility defines this practical yet stylish cut. Closely tapered sides and back transition to longer lengths on top, offering multiple styling options.
Perfect for active lifestyles, it can be slicked back, tousled, or styled with a defined part.
9. Tousled Pixie with Disconnected Layers
Effortless cool personified in a haircut. Disconnected layers create deliberate contrast between shorter and longer sections, adding visual interest.
Perfect for those with natural texture, this low-maintenance style looks even better slightly messy.
10. Swept-Back Pixie with Volume
Channeling old Hollywood with modern edge. This glamorous style features longer lengths swept back from the face with volume at the crown.
Ideal for special occasions, it also transitions easily to casual wear with less product and more texture.
11. Wavy Pixie with Side Part
Embracing natural texture makes this cut effortlessly chic. The deep side part creates asymmetry while the wavy texture adds soft movement.
A sea salt spray and diffuser are all you need to enhance those natural waves for a beach-inspired finish.
12. Graduated Pixie with Defined Edges
Structure meets style in this architectural cut. Precisely graduated layers create a beautiful shape while defined edges add modern crispness.
Perfect for those with strong features, this cut requires regular maintenance to keep those sharp lines intact.
13. Pixie with Elongated Sideburns
The ’90s influence gives this cut its distinctive edge. Traditional pixie elements pair with longer pieces in front of the ears for face-framing drama.
Flattering for square and round faces, this style creates the illusion of length while maintaining short-hair convenience.
14. Choppy Pixie with Razored Ends
Texture takes center stage in this deliberately undone style. Razor-cut ends create piece-y definition and movement throughout the layers.
Perfect for fine hair needing volume, this cut requires minimal styling—just finger-comb with texturizing paste and go!
15. Pixie-Bob with Curved Fringe
The best of both worlds in one stunning cut. Longer than a traditional pixie but shorter than a bob, with a softly curved fringe.
Versatile enough for air-drying or heat styling, this cut flatters most face shapes and hair textures.
16. Brushed-Forward Textured Pixie
Modern yet timeless, this forward-styled cut creates a frame for your features. Texturized throughout and styled forward toward the face rather than back or to the side.
Perfect for highlighting cheekbones and eyes, it works especially well on oval and diamond-shaped faces.
17. Pixie with Dimensional Color
Color and cut work together to create magic. Strategic placement of multiple complementary tones enhances the layers and movement of this versatile pixie.
Low-maintenance color techniques like balayage mean less frequent salon visits while maintaining that multi-dimensional effect.
18. Androgynous Long Pixie
Gender-neutral styling gives this cut its distinctive character. Clean lines with just enough length to maintain versatility create the perfect balance.
Suitable for all hair textures, this low-maintenance style can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
