There is a myth going about, surrounding the idea of the pixie cut. The myth says that the pixie cut does not flatter everyone and that you must have a particular face shape or certain features. We believe that myth is inaccurate. Consequently, this is the idea we are here to prove today. Therefore, we have rounded up 60 pixie cut examples 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
At the other end of the messy pixie cut we’ve shown above is the very slick and shiny one. This pixie cut is more of a very short bob, borrowing that hairstyle’s trademark features. In addition, you can part your hair sideways to create the illusion of bangs.
3. The Cute Pixie Cuts
In case you want to go for a supermodel look, the likes of Twiggy and her company, this is the pixie cut for you. It’s incredibly short, yet not short enough to make you look like a teenager boy. In other words, it’s perfection in a haircut!
4. The Pixie Cut with Bangs
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.
5. The Textured Pixie Cut
Here is another one which borrows heavily from the bob. Evidently, we don’t mind, as the bob is beautiful as well. Therefore, this haircut is caught somewhere between a bob and a pixie cut. Ask your stylist to layer it for you. In this way, you will manage it better on your own.
