60 Best Pixie Cut Hairstyles Trending in 2022 (With Images)

There is a myth revolving around pixie cut hairstyles, one that claims that the pixie does not flatter everyone and that you must have a particular face shape or certain features. Well, we consider this to be highly inaccurate. Consequently, this is what we will be prooving today: everyone can sport a pixie.

To do so, we have rounded up some of the coolest pixie cut ideas for you to choose from and get inspired by!

1. The Simple Pixie Cut

The first idea is always the simplest. Here is a traditional pixie cut that leaves the whole of your neck exposed but that also keeps a tuft of hair in the front. Go for a tousled and messy look to style it.

2. The Slick Pixie Cut Hairstyle

4. The Pixie Cut with Bangs Hairstyle

You may also add a touch of flair to your short pixie by letting some bangs survive the scissors. Tousle them around with some mouse for a mess head effect.
