Going for the crop is a huge decision, we all know that. Therefore, you might need something to soften the blow.
Usually, stylists come up with the solution of the long pixie cut.
It’s not exactly a chopped or cropped pixie in the true sense of the word so that you don’t have to suffer that much.
But it is still the short hair you’ve always been dreaming of.
In other words, it’s a middle ground or compromise solution. And a pretty one at that.
Here are our 50 adorable long pixie cut ideas for you to choose from!
1. The Long Pixie Cut with Over Swept Bangs
If you decide to go for the long pixie cut with bangs, we have a great solution so that you can spice things up once in a while.
Use some hair wax to sweep it all up over your head. In this way, it will look like a completely new haircut.
2. The Raven Long Pixie
Here is a very feathery pixie cut, raven in color, that works perfectly well for the fall and winter alike.
You can pair it off with your favorite nose ring and an oversized sweater, thus leaving your entire elongated neck exposed.
3. The Platinum Long Pixie Cut
An asymmetrical pixie, such as this one, in perfect platinum, will do amazing things for both your eyes and your skin tone.
It will highlight an enlighten both, giving you a sort of fairy glow. It’s perfect for summertime when we’re all looking for that dewy look.
4. The Chunky Long Pixie
What we loved most about this hairstyle are its ends. They are very chunky and choppy. You can ask your hairstylist to use a razor to get that look.
Pro tip – it’s best that you don’t attempt this at home because you might not be able to pull this off.
5. The Angled Long Pixie
This angled long pixie is intended for wavy hair. To be able to copy it, you will need some hair wax and a blow-dry.
Simply run your fingers through your hair with the hair wax as you blow dry it and arrange the hands in this messy yet stylish tangle.
6. The Wavy Long Pixie Cut
Here’s another pixie that requires some props. For this one, you’ll need your old curling iron.
Part your hair sideways and use the iron to create some curls or beach waves on the longer half. Apply some hairspray to keep everything in place.
7. The Jaimie Alexander
You may remember actress Jaimie Alexander from the Thor movies where she played the Lady Warrior Sif. In real life, she sports a pitch-black long pixie cut, and it’s a good thing that she does. She looks absolutely stunning!
8. The Face-Flattering Long Pixie
There’s a reason why this pixie is called thusly. It looks good on anyone and any type of face out there.
There’s just something about that mangled mess of soft curls that frames the contours of the face in a beautiful and inviting way.
9. The Julianne Hough
Julianne Hough went for quite the look change when she went from medium-length wavy hair to this short pixie.
But she looks absolutely amazing as this long pixie cut gives her a sweet and chic appearance.
10. The Chic Long Pixie
And speaking of chic, here’s the French version of the pixie. It’s asymmetrical and straight to the point of being blunt.
You can, of course, tame it and keep it in one place with the aid of a few bobby pins, if you so desire.
11. Medium Pixie with Long Bangs
If you decided on a simple and conventional pixie cut, one way in which you can jazz it up a little is by wearing your bangs very long.
The bonus to this is that not only will you look very cool, but they will frame your face nicely as well.
12. The Sexy Long Pixie
Far from making one look like a boy, as some might argue, pixie cuts can, in fact, be very sexy. We recommend that you wear yours with a smoldering smoky eye and a pair of statement earrings to accentuate your hotness.
13. The Aqua Pixie
Don’t be afraid to go for bold, unconventional colors. This, in fact, is one of the great benefits of having a pixie cut. Short hair means that you can easily try out different colors. This is an awesome shade of aqua green.
14. The Undercut Aline
What’s better than a long pixie cut? A pixie cut that comes with a surprise underneath. Take this aline cut that has a hair design.
How cool, modern, and fresh is that? We also love the dark color of the hair with just a few streaks of ruby red on top.
15. The Side Cropped Long Pixie Cut
Just as the name suggests, this pixie has its sides all cropped out almost to a minimum, while the top needs to have a bit of volume. The bangs here are asymmetrical and quite heavy, while the color is a uniform, stony gray.

It’s a medium honey blonde with burnt caramel roots that lights up her entire face and highlights her baby blue eyes.
18. The Mia Wasikowska
Our very own Alice in Wonderland went for the long pixie cut as well. Only that hers is long in the front, where she decided to sport the unicorn quiff.
We like the color of her hair as well, a beautiful ombre brown with blonde ends that matches her eyebrows.

23. The Miley Cyrus
Here is quite a wonderful long pixie cut from singer/actress Miley Cyrus, who decided to combine a faux hawk with a high pompadour, all in a glorious shade of butter white.
If you want to be a little copycat and get it, make sure your roots are a bit darker than the rest, to keep it looking natural.

The Black Swan is yet another Hollywood actress who benefits greatly from a long pixie cut because of her very slim and angular face. Although her cut is almost boyish in this picture, she still looks feminine and delicate.

The opposite of delicate and total ballerina, like Natalie Portman, is Scarlet Johansson.
The actress who plays the Black Widow looks like a complete badass in this long pixie cut, one who would be capable of taking one or two supervillains on her own.
26. The Charlize Theron
By far one of the most beautiful women in the world and the face of the J’Ador Dior perfume for years, Charlize has fallen prey to the long pixie cut as well.
And it’s a good thing that she did. We get to admire a lot more of her next to perfection facial structure.

We love to see how beautifully Mandy Moore has grown up and matured. Her dark caramel long pixie cut shows exactly that.
It really shows off her age, complimented by that set of statement golden earrings and the smoky eye.
