One recent notable client of mine was a 74 year old woman who had a grandmother hairstyle from her daughters wedding in 1996. When she sat in my chair she said her goal was to “look like herself but better”. After 20 minutes, she was sporting a choppy pixie haircut and was in tears. So was I. We both cried and bonded over two women crying in a salon. However, the great thing about this pixie is that at 74, it won’t look like she is trying to look younger. It’s the complete opposite. It looks like she has definitely stopped making excuses and is now being unapologetically herself.
I’ve done a ton of choppy pixie cuts, and all of them seem to focus on the wrong thing. The best part about choppy pixies is that they actually get better over time. When you’re hair finally changes, and we all know it never changes how we want, a choppy cut actually works in your favor. White and silver hair changes the way hair reflects light. This is good because choppy layers actually work to improve the dimension of the cut. The women who I have cut choppy pixies on are the ones who seem to get the most compliments because the cut exudes personality, just like her! I’m so excited to talk about these looks.
#1: That Asymmetrical Sweep You’ll Keep Touching
When a haircut does something subtly different, I love it, and this one has that. In the back, it’s short and sleek, but everything gradually sweeps forward to a longer soft piece that touches the cheekbone. This is the kind of haircut that makes you want to reach out and grab the hair in the front to shift it around, which is how it is meant to be styled, so it’s an added bonus. If you have fine hair, the layers give you texture and body without looking like you tried. Minimal styling time is required, and in the morning you will look great, though you may want a light texturizing spray to keep those front pieces from going flat before lunch.
#2 The Choppy One That Fakes a Full Head of Hair
This style is enhanced by all those ingenious layering techniques. If you have fine hair and have been lamenting the loss of volume you used to have in your 40s, come on down because this is your moment. The layers are positioned to form natural lifts around the crown area, which gives the hair a fuller appearance. This is the type of haircut that looks good from every angle and that isn’t the case for every pixie. The framing layers are soft enough that it looks harsh and not just relaxed. The daily maintenance is practically zero, but you will need trims to keep it honest; something like every five weeks.
#3 A Silver Pixie That Actually Has Personality
This cut is designed for clients who want a short style but absolutely do not want to look boring. The defined peaks at the top add some attitude, almost as if the hair has some opinions, and the contouring along the sides keeps everything looking intentional rather than just “short.” This looks especially great on thinner hair because the peaks create an illusion of volume, which is perfect since no product is needed. People will definitely notice and tell you “I love your haircut,” and you can tell them “Thanks, I woke up like this.” Well, mostly. You will definitely want to keep your trim appointments, because once the shape starts growing out, you won’t be happy with the look. The whole effect softens quite a bit.
#4 That Aubergine Color Nobody Expects and Everyone Loves
I love this design! The deep aubergine base and purple highlights make me want to high-five whoever made this decision. It’s striking without being too loud. The layering adds lift at the crown and the texture keeps it modern and not matronly. Touch-ups are real color commitments every four to five weeks to keep the richness and you’ll want a color-safe shampoo in between washes. The way this design catches light makes it totally worth it!
#5 Lavender Feathers That Soften Everything
The first impression of this color can be a little skeptical. Once it’s seen on a person, it’s easy to change one’s mind. The lavender is soft, it’s almost nothing, it’s more of a suggestion rather than a statement. The lavender color brightens maturing skin tones without washing anything out. The focus of this cut is in the feathered layers, and she puts fine hair movement and fullness in a way that you just can’t achieve with a blunt cut. The back being cropped close keeps the neckline clean and comfy. For the mornings when the layers want to be flat, I’m suggesting having a lightweight volumizing mousse. Other than that, this cut is really easy to manage and live with.
#6 The Platinum Spike That’s More Fun Than It Sounds
I understand the initial impression of the term **spiky pixie** as aggressive, but this one is quite soft in real life. There are many layers and the hair looks effortlessly styled with just enough texture to say, “Look at my amazing hair!” Without any indications of how long it actually took. As for the color, platinum does a lot of the visual lifting. When platinum hair bounces light, it creates an illusion of fullness. **Spiky pixie** cuts work well on straight hair so the spikes hold their direction. If you have an oval or heart-shaped face, this cut is great for you. It should take under a minute to run through the tops layers with styling wax to maintain that defined look.
#7 Frosted Layers for When You Want a Little Drama
My favorite look on pixie cuts is frosted tips. I think they make the cut look more layered and intricate but in reality, most hair cuts should have that illusion. The layered pixie up top creates some volume at the roots which avoids that “I just got my hair cut and it is so flat” look. You’ll love how quick it is to style once you get it. You’ll just have to “towel dry, run fingers through, and leave the house”. You will need to book color appointments more frequently because lighter colors show regrowth more than darker ones, but I think it’s worth it for the aesthetic especially on fine to medium hair since the contrast in highlights is so much stronger.
#8 Pastel Blue That’s Somehow Not Ridiculous
I’ll admit I was a little skeptical when a client over 70 showed me a reference photo of pastel blue hair. I was completely wrong. Pastel blue works! The light blue tones with silver and white hair blend together in an almost organic way as if the hair just decided to do something cool on its own. The choppy layers add volume to fine hair, and the soft facial framing feathering really helps to soften the face. One catch with this style is that pastel colors fade quickly, and that means you will have to come to the salon more often to prevent it from looking washed out. If you are someone who enjoys salon visits, like a lot of my clients do, then this is a gorgeous option.
#9 Silver Texture with Lift That Lasts All Day
When I tell clients about this particular style, I tell them it’s ideal for people who like to keep their hair looking chic and professional, but they also want to be able to run their fingers through their hair and it not get ruined. The cut creates volume at the roots that will last a long time because it’s made to look like that, not just a styled look. I also think the choppy and jagged layers are a bit youthful, and I love this even more with silver hair, as the light reflects on it from different angles. Plus, this is short enough that it won’t take much time to wash and dry, and let’s be honest, that actually makes a pretty big difference. You’ll probably want to use some product (a light texture paste will work great) to keep the texture nice and styled and that’s super easy, just mess it up a bit and you’re good to go.
#10 Spiky Silver with That Clean Side Crop
Everything has been done correctly on the crown of this cut. Those layers have been arranged to form a top that is textured and voluminous enough to make finer hair look as if it has double the density. The close cropped sides keep everything looking clean and purposeful. I also like how the sides integrate with the face, and the top is a great addition because it adds some more height. This is a nice combo that will work on many people. The silvery tone as it is, is beautiful enough. If upkeep and coloring is not in the cards, you’ll thank yourself for it. To maintain the spiky texture on top, a small amount of product will suffice; maybe a matte styling paste, worked through the crown after you towel dry. Quick and useful makes it seem like you have a very cool life.
#11 Salt-and-Pepper Choppy Layers That Just Work
Choppy pixies look beautiful with a natural salt-and-pepper coloring. There is no single color that can match the charm and allure of this color combination. The contrasting colors make the layers easier to see. Different layers become more visible and easier to see. There is a depth that is hard to replicate with another colored hair and the uneven layers with texturized ends add volume to where it is most needed and the face framing curtain bangs directs attention to the face. The cut will look best a little bit undone, so if you are tempted to overstyle, hold yourself back. It can look a little messy, it deserves it.
#12 Clean Silver Crop with Just Enough Layer
This hairstyle is what I would consider quietly excellent. There are no showy elements here, but everything is done to perfection. The graduated layers provide a soft volume which allows fine hair to look full in a natural way. Plus the short length means your styling time will be seconds rather than minutes. The top layers cut create an almost architectural precision around the forehead and eyes. You will want to aim for trims every four to five weeks to keep all the lines nice and clean. This hairstyle relies on shape to look good, so as soon as the shape starts to go, the whole hairstyle will look worse. But when it’s clean and fresh, it’s incredibly beautiful in its simplicity.
#13 Razor-Textured Silver with a Little Edge
I enjoy doing razor cuts on short hair because the results are always interesting in a good way. There is an ease to this cut, and the layers at the top seem to have fallen into their positions naturally. It looks like an accident, but that is the result of careful technique. The razor also helps with the silvers and cool undertones of the hair. The way the different lengths reflect light gets the texture to look nicely. This cut achieves both a modern and classic look. Maintaining the style will take some trimming, but the good news is that not much everyday maintenance will be needed.
#14 Silver Texture with Movement You Can Feel
This haircut is full of life! I love the dynamic, swirling look of the hair. It looks good from the front, side, and back. It does look like it will require a little upkeep but when it grows out, I think it will look good. This cut is great if you have fine hair because it will look like you have more and thicker hair after getting this cut! To keep the look, use a light product. The color is good and goes nicely with your natural grays.
#15 Silver Shag with Flipped Ends That Actually Flip
While shag cuts are perceived to be high maintenance, this is only true for longer lengths. At pixie length, they become easier instead. This has vintage ends, so it has a fun retro-modern look. I love it! The shag technique layered brings volume and interest to the cut, while the salt and pepper color offers so much more interest than a solid shade would. This cut is designed to follow all the contours of your face, and that is especially good for square and oval shapes. The ends that are flipped will require a flexible hold hairspray or light cream to keep them looking good, but this really shouldn’t take more than one minute.
#16 Silver Layers with Short Sides and a Statement Top
I appreciate the cool contrast with the top layers being longer than the sides. It creates a unique shape in all the right ways. Rather than a blunt cut, this looks so much better with the face and the layered top provides a nice visual volume. The hair can appear too thick with medium to low density hair. Keep in mind that the desired contrast is going to be the most important part of this cut, so plan on trims every five to six weeks. When it’s freshly trimmed, it can really boost your confidence.
#17 Silver Waves in a Pixie That Feels Effortless
It may look simple, but it’s pretty well thought out! Soft waves and some layers create a natural volume and a more delicate look. With the silvery shade, the end result becomes even more stunning. The cut suits fine hair because the waves cover the more sparse areas, and the overall look becomes sophisticated but not too much. To keep the cut looking fresh and great again some regular trimming will be needed, but it is really low maintenance. Super easy. Just a bit of sea salt spray on damp hair and you are all set!
#18 Razor-Cut Silver with Waves That Move
Razor cuts are one of my favorite things to do, especially when I get to do it on fine hair, because the result is so much softer and “pieceier” than cuts done with scissors. This haircut gives off the same vibe with the uneven choppy layers that feel effortless and full of life, as if your hair is blowing in the wind. It is particularly suitable for rounder faces as the layered texture gives a slimming appearance, without being too obvious. The waves then add softness and movement to the hair, and assist in softening any harshness that might come from the haircut. To keep the cut looking fresh and maintained, I do recommend coming in every so often for trims, as outgrown razor cuts can lose the definition quickly, but in the mean time, you won’t have to put a ton of time in to your hair.
#19 Soft Silver Layers with an Asymmetrical Wink
The slight asymmetry in this hairstyle is an asset. It raises one side of the face more than the other and provides visual contrast while maintaining an overall effect of balance. Choppy layers also give thickness to fine hair. The silver tone is also superpretty and eliminates the color maintenance cycle that many of my clients like because of the time and chemical savings. This is a nice cut that still looks polished so you can literally take 5 minutes to get ready and people will think you took 20. It really helps the layers from a rounder face shape frame and stretch the face out a bit. To keep it looking nice, you should get a trim every 4-5 weeks.
#20 Platinum Spikes That Keep Things Interesting
I did something similar last month on a client and she called me the very next day saying a stranger complimented her haircut while she was at the grocery store. Honestly, that is one of the highest compliments a haircut can receive. Those short and choppy layers give the fine hair the texture and volume it needs and the bright platinum shade is very warm skin tone friendly, not to mention it is a really easy and manageable cut. On a day to day basis it is a run your fingers through and maybe some product kind of deal. Just don’t forget to come back for your trims because the spikes growing out will really soften the look more than you want. This haircut really suits oval and heart-shaped faces because it draws the attention to the eyes and cheekbones.
#21 Airy Silver Wisps with That Perfect Fringe
This style was a big influence on my decision to get this style. I like that it can be worn across the forehead like a barrette, and it has a casual, more intentional feel to it. It is also asymmetrical, and not blunt, which is really nice. The rest of the cut is made up of light and bouncy layers which give fine hair a sense of volume and movement, without the weight. The sides and back of the cut are kept at a shorter length, while the top is left a bit longer so you can play with how you choose to style it. Even with a shorter cut, there are tons of options. This style is really nice if you have fine hair that goes flat because a root lifting spray at the crown will keep it all day. Other than that, the cut is pretty hands off and will always give the illusion that you put in a ton of work to style it.
#22 Golden Blonde Feathers That Glow
I explain to customers that the warm blonde tones framing the face work as a natural filter, softening features and enhancing the complexion. This golden blonde feathered pixie does just that. The short layers assist in creating a fuller effect, and the feathered look softens the ends instead of creating a sharp edge. I want to be honest here, though, lighter colors will show your regrowth faster than darker colors, so you will have to come in for touch-ups more often. You will also need a styling product designed for the feathered look that is lightweight so it doesn’t weigh your hair down. All in all, this style looks healthy and radiant and takes off years from your appearance without any effort.
#23 Tousled Silver That Leans Into the Mess
This haircut is perfect for clients who want zero maintenance. The layers around the front and back provide some volume and will dry quicker because of the overall length. The undone look is also more of what the cut is meant to be so you don’t have to do anything to it after. I think the cut also captures the small amount of asymmetry really well. It’s nice to see a contemporary difference in length between the two sides. It also looks really good with natural gray hair and in my opinion the texture and imperfection look better than if it was all smoothed out. Not every haircut can say that. If you’re more into classic styles it might feel like a bit of a leap, but I really recommend it. The women who do are almost always really happy with the outcome.
#24 Tousled Silver with Natural Highlights You Didn’t Pay For
One of the many advantages of going gray is the different colors and shades that develop. White is just one of the many hues in the hair of mature individuals. Shades of gray can even save you money, as many professional hairstylists charge extra for highlights. This haircut style takes the color variations into account. With its touchable tousle and fine hair friendly volume ‘do, this style enhances thickness and visual fullness. The outer longer hair along with the side ear range close cut provides a modern intentional shape. The messy appearance has purpose behind it. It is recommended to keep up with the trim schedule as it is very important. The longer it gets, the more purposeful it becomes. Once it starts to grow out unevenly, you will lose that intentional quality.
#25 Soft Silver Crop with Gentle Wave
This is the cut for you if your hair has any type of wave or curl. The cut is designed to work with your natural texture to create movement, not work against it. The silver color is beautiful, and the length is great to frame the face and draw attention to the cheekbones and eyes. The contrast with finer hair also works because the cut gives an effortless, unforced, light and airy quality. On the downside, the best waves from this cut come from layers that are cut with a clear understanding of how the hair will fall when it’s dry. All your stylist to cut the hair dry or to comb through the shape when it’s dry before you leave to achieve this. For best results, apply a lightweight curl cream that defines the waves without giving them a crunchy texture.
#26 Wispy Ash Blonde with a Tapered Back
The taper on this cut is made to narrow gradually at the neckline so the illusion is that the hair fades out. This creates a subtle silky effect, especially compared to blunt cuts that sit at the nape. The forgiving ash-blonde color won’t tie you down to a colorist’s schedule. Not every pixie cut is this flexible across face shapes, but this one is a big plus in my books. Some cuts are flattering on only certain faces, so it’s good to see one that avoids that issue. The fine hair of the person in the photo may find that the upper section looks a bit flat and may require some volumizing powder or a light product to look fluffy. That’s a ten second step, it’s not a full routine.
#27 Sleek Silver Spikes, Clean and Quick
I love how easy it is to style this haircut. The soft silver color of this pixie looks great in the light. Its short spiky layers create a playful look, and give thin hair more volume. Plus, the upkeep on this style is super easy. After washing your hair, all you need is a bit of product to style the spikes and you’re done! If you like wash-and-go style and you don’t like putting in any effort, you might not like this haircut because those spikes do need some work. However, it is really easy to do. In fact, this cut helps you get that polished modern look in only 30 seconds of finger-styling.
#28 Blush Pink Layers That Are Softer Than They Sound
I had a client show me a reference for a blush pink, and she nervously said, “I know this is crazy.” I had to stop her right there because it’s not crazy, it’s actually one of the most universally flattering tones out there. This particular shade has soft, playful layers that create movement and dimension and the blush tone does this lovely thing by brightening the face while being very soft and not taking away from the features. It is great for fine to medium density hair and the length makes it super easy to maintain between appointments. You will want to add a light product to enhance the tousled texture of the layers because the color will need to be touched up more frequently than a natural shade, but the overall look has a warm, approachable quality that I love.
#29 Lavender Feathers That Feel Fun Without Trying
The top layers have light feathers that add both volume and movement. The pale lavender shade brings an almost infectious spirit. There is a slight undercut in the back that most people would miss unless they’re told, but it does clean up the neckline and gives a modern touch to the overall shape. Lengths like these are super flattering, especially, oval and heart-shaped faces. The medium density of hair here is perfect for holding the shape of the cut without it looking bulky or overdone. Lavender fades, I won’t pretend otherwise, so plan for that, or learn to love the way it softens as it washes out, which, honestly, can be pretty in its own right.
#30 Silver Texture with Crown Volume That Stays
This haircut has a lot of height at the crown and it comes from the cut, not from any styling hacks. The structure of the layers adds volume without having to backcomb or use a lot of products because it creates lift where fine hair usually goes flat. The soft layers also create a movement, and adds a lived-in feel, that balances the look of shorter lengths and makes it feel less harsh. All of those layers also work really well with natural gray hair because the light plays off the different levels. A light hold styling cream is going to be best to define the texture, especially if your hair is fine because it blends without product to separate it. Overall, this is a really low effort, high reward haircut.
#31 Silver Choppy Layers with Volume on Top
This is a very well done classic choppy pixie The layers create a nice playfull texture while keeping everything else under control and the volume at the crown provides height that is very flattering for rounder or squarer face shapes. The model’s fine wavy hair is ideal for this cut, the wave enhances the texture with no need for product. It’s the type of cut that looks good even on day 2 or day 3 and I think this is a cut quality I think gets under valued. Shorter hair does grow out faster than you’d like so regular trims are just part of the deal, but this is honestly very easy to maintain between appointments.
#32 Choppy Texture with an Easy, Youthful Feel
The length just above the ears hits the sweet spot where it is short enough for a care-free style but long enough to maintain some shape and personality. The choppy layers add movement and volume which fine to medium hair can really benefit from. The model’s slight natural wave adds more fullness that some may need to create with product. This is a cut that presents an attitude and an energizing feel that more uniform cuts just don’t. A quick swipe with a texturising cream through the top layers will set you for the day.
#33 Soft Layered Pixie with a Sun-Kissed Finish
The gentle layers in this haircut frame your face nicely, particularly for round and oval face shapes. The color and weight of the hair feel airy, providing a lightness that is less dense than other styles. Highlights are warm and dimensional; these are the types of highlights that say you just came back from an amazing vacation. Length is practical, and maintenance is low outside of trims. With those intentional layers, you will want to book trims every five weeks to keep them looking good. It’s uncomplicated in the best way.
#34 Short Choppy Pixie with Warm, Vibrant Highlights
What makes this cut special is the color. The highlights warm the look and add dimension to the layers. This transforms the cut from just being a nice pixie to one that has real visual interest. The added layers create volume and texture that work best for fine to medium hair. The shape is also really flattering for a lot of different face shapes so this makes it a safe recommendation for someone considering a choppy pixie for the first time. To keep shape of the hair nice and defined, regular trims will help. Outside of that, this cut has a really nice and is very low maintenance.
#35 Vibrant Orange Tousle with Serious Energy
It’s hard to be neutral on this. The bold orange color combined with the choppy pixie cut is pure joy. Just looking at it brings me happiness! The chopped pixie cut helps with the overall volume and movement and works perfectly with fine and medium hair. The color adds warmth and is very flattering to the skin tone. If you have been safe with your hair color for the past several years then this is your chance! This is what we mean by daring color done right. A little reality check though: bright colors like this will be high maintenance. You will be headed to color fade zones you didn’t sign up for if you don’t touch up the color every four weeks. But while it is fresh? It is electric!
#36 Ash Blonde Texture with an Effortless Quality
I genuinely appreciate the versatility of this particular cut. It can be polished and professional with some product, and without product, and a quick towel dry, can be relaxed and effortless. Both looks are great so you have the freedom to style it the way you want on a particular day. The ash blonde color works, and is more relaxed than warm blonde shades as it pairs well with lighter skin tones. It also requires less upkeep. The fine texture, while may be a concern for some, actually works to this cut’s advantage as it add greater lightness and movement. True, you will need to keep getting trims to maintain the shape, but this style will adapt to your life apart from appointments.
#37 Modern Ashy Layers That Embrace the Gray
This cut’s ashy grey hue is one of those colors that looks purposeful yet effortless, which is not easy to achieve. The soft layers will give volume to fine hair without creating bulk, and the overall shape will make you feel current, but won’t have you changing it in six months. The face-framing layers are cut so perfectly that they highlight features without drawing attention away. From all angles, the cut is layered all over, providing ample possibilities for visual interest. You will need regular maintenance to maintain the shape, which is all about the lines, but the daily styling commitment will be very minimal– it’ll be a solid cut, dry and go type situation.
#38 Lavender Pixie with Playful Texture and Edge
The lavender hue is strong enough to make a statement, yet soft enough not to overpower the cut. Short styles rely on balance, and this cut exudes it. The textured ends provide volume and movement while the pixie layers create shape and interest from all angles. More than most people realize, this is very important with pixie cuts. The shade of lavender does something beautiful with lighter skin tones, cooling and brightening the complexion while illuminating the features. Maintenance is a given with pastels as they fade quite rapidly, but this cut is easy to live with and low maintenance. A lavender like this is a brilliant springboard for anyone who’s previously shied away from a statement colour.
#39 Feathered Choppy Layers for a Breezy Look
I enjoy going back to feathered pixies because they offer multiple solutions to multiple issues. Fine hair can lack density but this technique creates the illusion of more, and also provides flattering styling options for differing face shapes. This cut gives the wearer something to work with when it comes to styling the hair, with no need to learn any complicated techniques. This specific cut has a lovely shape that serves as a good canvas for color, should you want to add highlights or a glaze in the future. The tousled ends look like the hair is very low maintenance, however, you are correct that they will require extra product to keep the hair looking that way throughout the day. The style will not be the most low maintenance of options, but it will also not be the hardest to style. For me, the finger-styled, perfectly imperfect finish is what really comes together and makes the hair look really great.
#40 Soft Pink Choppy Pixie with Whimsical Texture
It had been over 10 years since my client last dyed her hair, so I anticipated that a change would come as a big shock. I’ll always remember the rush I got, when she walked out of the salon with pale pink hair. That was the moment I fell in love with my job. The choice of color complemented the softening of her angular features. The point cutting technique creates a more textured look to the hair, allowing her finer hair to look much thicker and more voluminous. Maintaining the hair length just above the ears ensured a more modern feel to the look. Pink hair does fade quickly so she will have to return regularly for toning, and the color-depositing conditioner will be a must to keep it fresh between visits. The need for trims to keep that choppy texture was critical as that was the main personality of the cut.
#41 Warm Ginger Pixie with Gorgeous Texture
Short ginger hair has a lovely warm quality to it. The hue of the hair nicely contrasts the style, and the fine hair has a medium density which holds the style, and while it may look effortless, it is actually quite technical. The ginger shade that frames the face is especially lovely and it warms the whole face, giving a vibrant and healthy look that is very nice. The style may require some hair products to achieve a more defined look and not one that is messy because the goal is to achieve a structured look that may require some effort. The haircut is perfect if you have angular features, so it will be great for you if you have that.
#42 Vibrant Layers with a Touch of Lavender
This haircut’s textured finish and light lavender undertones create a fresh look while being subtle enough not to take attention away from the lavender. The design takes advantage of the model’s natural curls. Product and curl control are no problem with this design for those with naturally wavy or curly hair. The design is a nice fresh look at haircuts. The lateral wisp adds polish. Curls can go puffy if not styled, but once you find the right routine the effort is worth it.
#43 Playful Choppy Layers with Warm Highlights
It is effortless to incorporate a warm highlight into a cut to show and take advantage of the skin tone. The choppy layers provide movement and texture that adds fullness and interest to fine and medium density hair. The ear length around the face shortens and frames the face nicely. Achieving this cut will likely mean putting in effort to ensure it looks this good, and it is easy to see the look while un-styled, just finger-combed looks nice. While this cut will require effort to style, it is not high maintenance. A light hold, texturizing product is a good way to ensure that the hair is suitably tousled without fighing the texture and making everything stiff and crunchy. That’s about all the daily maintenance that is required.
#44 Silver Pixie with Bouncy Layers
I really like how this haircut has layers, and how they have a little bounce and some nice movement instead of lying flat. This looks really nice, especially for fine to medium hair and adds volume. It’ll also be super easy to handle with the shorter length. The silver looks great, and combined with the layers gives a lot of dimension, especially since each layer catches the light and reflects it at various angles. The layers do need to be trimmed regularly to keep the shape, and to keep it from getting too shaggy, but there are definitely worse haircuts to have. If you like modern styles that aren’t too complicated, this is a good choice.
#45 Bold Green Choppy Pixie for the Adventurous
Not everyone will like this, but for the right person, it will be so exciting! Huge award winner and devil may care attitude! The cut is amazing on its own with some gorgeous well defined structured layers, and beautiful base for the color. Almost alive masterpiece! The green is strong and cut provides framing. Length face framing feature works with all shapes, is alive on medium and fine hair, if borderline magical and balanced! If you’re thinking about it, don’t let me steer away from relaxed, natural colors, you’re gonna see me often! My clients who go for bright colors absolutely love the maintenance and that means more to me than the color itself. If that’s you, get after it and let me know so we can book your appointments!
#46 Soft Volume with Texture That Looks Natural
I love the layers give an appearance of volume, but they are not too obvious. It sits above the ears and allows the face to be on full display, and the texture keeps it from looking flat. The model’s fine, slightly wavy hair really is effortless. This is a haircut that people would ask you what product you use and you could say “not much” and they’d believe you. This cut looks good with minimal effort unlike a lot of other haircuts. This cut does better on a lazy day, because it is designed well.
#47 Platinum Spikes with a Playful Top
This cut adds a distinctive flair with the added versatility of some length up top. Some styling with some extra length up top can allow some spiky styling which will take little time! Structure and playfulness. Finer hair gets more volume and the little styling will take next to no time, just one minute to apply a small amount of styling product like wax and you’re good to go! The more length on top means the more regular trims are needed or the spiky styles will just flop down. Round and oval face shapes will still look great. Removing some length with gives finer hair some extra volume. This cut will take almost no time to style and it will look great on round and oval face shapes. To add a bit more spikiness will only require a bit of product. One minute to add some product is all it take to look great. The biggest downside is the regular trims that are needed to keep the length on top from getting too long which are imposed from the style.
#48 Textured Layers with a Bold Color Punch
This haircut certainly has a self-assured look and I believe this comes partly from the colour, and partly from the dynamic layering around the crown. The hair is cut at the nape, where it is shorter at the back and longer on top, giving it that classic pixie feel, although, I must say it is edgy enough to feel contemporary with the amount of texture. Less density in hair is an advantage with this cut, as it will keep the look light and easy to manage. This look will be particularly nice on round and oval face shapes, as the extra hair on top of the crown adds great height and elongates the face. It requires a little styling, but it doesn’t have to be overly complicated. It can be achieved with a bit of product and a little finger work. This can be done in about 15 seconds.
#49 Elegant Blonde Layers Just Above the Ears
The cut comes just above the ears; this is the length that really captures the time and effort put into the style versus just allowing it to grow. This difference is more noticeable than most people think. The soft layers are a great enhancement to the facial structure, and the light blonde color heightens the texture, providing more depth and dimension to the style. For fine hair, this cut style gives an airy, natural, and uncontrived volume that feels incredible without being overly manipulated. The subtle waves add an original touch to the haircut, avoiding a standard layered pixie cut. While a few trims to keep the shape are needed, it is a low maintenance style.
#50 Silver Spikes with a Classic-Meets-Modern Vibe
I’m wrapping up with this one because it does something I enjoy. Taking a classic pixie shape, and putting just enough of an edge to make it modern (but) not alienating for someone who appreciates something more classic. The playful spikes on top create movement and interest, and the shorter back and sides keep everything looking nice and clean. (It’s even) great for fine to medium hair because the layers create an illusion of more density. The spikes do require regular styling to look this way, so this isn’t a wash-and-go cut, but the effort is minor and the spikes do create a cut that certainly feels timeless and modern at the same time. Iit’s worthy of every second of the thirty seconds it takes.
