I will always remember the first graduated pixie-bob I cut on a lady in her seventies. While I was working on her hair, she told me that she hadn’t done anything with it in over twelve years. She mentioned that she was worried that changing her hairstyle would make her look like she was “trying too hard.” In the end, we cut off six inches of her hair, and when I turned her toward the mirror, she was silent for a little while. After a moment, she said, “That’s actually me.” She pops into my mind whenever I get older clients wanting to cut their hair shorter. Many people think that graduated pixie-bobs are basic and just give the impression of being trendy or chic. In reality, this cut offers a lot more than most people think. For someone’s individual bone structure and hair texture, the back layers, inner layers, side pieces, and where the volume is placed can be customized to a remarkable extent. It is incredible that two people can get the exact same ‘technical’ haircut and look completely different.
This cut for women in their seventies is interesting due to how much the hair has typically changed. The hair’s texture, density, waviness, and overall patterns can shift at these ages. A well-done graduated pixie-bob cut embraces the change rather than fights it. It provides more volume at the crown which is often where women lose the most density and the shorter hair keeps from weighing down the cut which is doing less as the hair gets longer. I’ve put together many variations of the cut because I truly believe there is a version of this cut for everyone and I wanted to demonstrate the various options.
#1: Layered Pixie Bob with a Warm Highlight Running Through It
For this one, it’s all about layering. Focusing around the face, the cut builds softly and sits naturally around the face without trying to add shape where there isn’t one. The highlights are warm enough to keep it from looking too fake. This layered approach allows for a medium density of movement and texture, especially with fine hair, which blunt cuts just don’t give as much of. A cut like this is the biggest compliment because it will look like you’re having a good hair day. A big plus is that there is very little daily effort required to maintain it. It can build up to look boxy over time, but with good regular salon visits to keep the shape fresh, any potential effort needed is pretty minimal.
#2 Ivory Graduated Pixie-Bob with a Temple Piece That Does All the Heavy Lifting
I really like that little slice at the temple. It looks effortless, but it also softens the jawline, and subtly diverts attention from the ears. The internal crown graduation adds this lovely lift that fine straight hair hardly ever gets on its own, and the platinum just brightens everything up. The trade off with platinum on mature hair is very real though. You’re going to want a decent purple toning shampoo and some kind of lightweight moisture treatment because the hair gets thirsty, and the flyaways become more obvious. Most days, a light mousse and your fingers is really all you need.
#3 Cool White Pixie-Bob with a Longer Cheek Piece
The stacking at the back is tidy, and that longer piece sweeping towards the cheek gives the whole thing forward movement that feels purposeful without being gaudy. That cheek-grazing length is ideal for oval and heart-shaped faces. The interior graduation provides the crown lift here, so you get height without having to blow dry your life away every morning. Where this cut gets complicated is in the precision. If the texturizing is underdone, fine hair will simply sit there looking lifeless and if there is too much bulk remaining at the edge, it completely contradicts the purpose of the graduation. This is one of those cases where your stylist’s skill ultimately determines the outcome.
#4 Golden Pixie-Bob with Feathered Sides and a Lot of Crown Life
It was nice that the crown had a nice roundness from the reverse stacking underneath, and the feathered temple pieces framing the face also look nice. The slight root shadow is helping keep the gold from floating. On fine to medium-low density hair this shape surprisingly holds well. Most days all you will need is a round brush blow dry to maintain the parietal volume. It’s the sort of cut that makes earrings look intentional, rather than like an afterthought.
#5 Silver Pixie-Bob with a Long Side Sweep and Quiet Root Warmth
I appreciate the elegance and simplicity of this style. The side-swept fringe helps to soften the profile and the tapered nape keeps the back from feeling too heavy. The warm root shadow creates depth right at the scalp where fine hair tends to look the thinnest and the combo of warm roots and cool whites is an excellent choice. This shape is lovely on oval and heart faces. The daily upkeep is a true commitment. You’ll need to set that crown lift, or it will disappear; the layering has to be precise enough that it doesn’t just collapse by lunchtime.
#6 Platinum Pixie-Bob with an Ear-Skimming Side and Airy Texture
The quality of razor texturing is of the highest quality, almost as if the hair is alive. When dealing with fine, slightly porous, silver-blonde hair, that sort of breathability is everything. The ear-skimming slice is soft enough to quell the jaw but without making a severe contrast where the length shifts. A soft graduation is pivotal here; too much, and you lose that softness, too little, no structure. Especially with blending root tones, placement becomes a billboard with regrowth.
#7 Auburn Pixie-Bob with a Feathered Fringe and Natural Crown Lift
I think some natural growth patterns will help the cut. Here, the crown cowlick is doing some of the volumizing as it holds that rounded shape without heat or product. The feathered side-swept bangs are well volumized so they don’t look thinning and wispy, and the micro layers keep the top from lying flat. Warm auburn is a lovely shade on mature hair, but it’s a coloring commitment. With fine hair, more texture can create flyaways, so a light finishing cream smoothed between your palms and just barely touched over the surface helps.
#8 Champagne Blonde Pixie-Bob with Lowlights and Easy Crown Volume
The colors and highlights in these layers at the base, crown, and temples blend beautifully with the champagne. They add warmth without looking washed out, plus the root shadow means you won’t be panicking two weeks post cut. You can round brush the haircut and you’re good to go. Some glossing will be needed to keep brassy tones at bay and while maintenance is required, it isn’t high.
#9 Chestnut Rounded Pixie-Bob with Babylights Through the Silver
These babylights, mixing silver and chestnut, are very natural looking. Rather than clashing with the grey or leaving it out, the colour merges with the grey for an overall glow instead of a one-dimensional look. Fine to medium hair with a light wave that has stacked graduation and point cut texture can achieve long-lasting crown volume with a 30 second root blast while blow drying. This is an active person’s haircut – the type of shape that looks good a little messed up after a walk or running errands. Very thick hair would oppose this shape, but it is one of those cuts that simply works best on the right texture.
#10 Warm Chestnut Pixie-Bob with Crown Lift and Grey Blending
What I like about this is the practicality. Short nape, two to three inches on crown, soft simple layers on the temple. There is a small crown cowlick that the stacked graduation and point-cutting actually tame into a useful lift instead of a problem. The chestnut tone blends greys beautifully, so you’re not after a completely solid color and the grow out is nice. A light blow dry with a round brush will create the shape and a lowlight glaze every couple of months will keep the warmth consistent. Very simple and really flattering on an oval face.
#11 Silver Angled Pixie-Bob with a Directed Crown
A crown whorl would usually cause difficulties for a lot of shorter cuts, but with this directed blow dry, it has been turned into a positive by providing an ideal lift to the parietal area that it wouldn’t otherwise have. The clean angled shape from chin to nape also benefits from the side-swept fringe which provides softness but without going into the realm of looking like something is concealed. Graduation here with fine to medium density hair should be so deliberate that the perimeter does not flare out at the sides, and the person doing the texturing must have the discipline to know when to stop. This cut has a quiet authority when done correctly.
#12 Textured Silver Pixie-Bob with Movement Through the Crown
The crown layering provides an effortless look where the hair appears to flow naturally. It achieves the goal of looking natural. Finishing the cut to chin length frames the face nicely without overwhelming it. The fine density plays in the cut’s favor since everything stays light and mobile. This style has a low maintenance demand on your day to day. Regular trims will help it to not lose its purpose, but in between appointments it is fairly self-sufficient, and I think that is underrated in a haircut.
#13 Silver Rounded Pixie-Bob with Built-In Volume
On this one, the rounded crown lift is built into the cut as she passes the stacking and internal graduation, rather than achieved through the product alone. This is important on fine to medium density silver hair because you want volume that lasts all afternoon. The long side-swept bangs and the slightly darker root band give dimension that straight silver can sometimes lack. With this one, a round brush and some light product is the daily companion, but the payoff is a shape that looks polished all the time.
#14 Platinum Pixie-Bob with a Face-Skimming Sweep on a Diagonal Part
The diagonal part changes the whole geometry of the cut, sending that face-framing sweep across at an angle that really stretches the profile out in a super flattering way. The internal layers and point cut ends give lift without being too overdone, and the creamy lowlights and root shadow give enough dimension so that the platinum doesn’t read one-note. This is a gorgeous option for hair that’s starting to thin, as the lightweight construction means nothing is pulling and weighing down the hair. The hair also needs daily root lift and regular toning to sit in that sweet spot between bright and brassy.
#15 Stacked Pixie-Bob with a Feathered Side Fringe and Natural Grey Blending
I love how the baby-lights and root melt look with grey blending. Instead of hiding the silvers, this technique openly focuses using them as part of the tonal conversation with the naturals and added warmth. Plus, it grows out really well, which is more important than most people realize. The stacked graduation gives instant volume and the soft feathered fringe is movable enough to not disappear. Fine to medium hair textures will hold this shape well with a round brush blow dry, although very coarse hair will push back against the airiness the cut is going for. The ear grazing tuck is a nice detail that controls the swing without adding weight.
#16 Crisp Silver Stacked Pixie-Bob with Long Earring-Friendly Lines
For those who wear statement earrings, this is your cut. The very short sides open up the neck and ear area in a way that feels intentional and elegant, rather than exposed. A tight nape graduation with internal pointed layers gives that pronounced crown lift, and the long side-swept fringe balances the shortness elsewhere. The silver-white color is dramatic yet honest about its upkeep. Grow-out shows quickly on this light of a color, and precise toning keeps it from drifting warm. If you love the look, it’s worth the upkeep, but go in knowing what you’re signing up for.
#17 Chin-Length Reverse-Stacked Pixie-Bob with a Single Babylight at the Temple
The single babylight in the temple is a small detail, but it alters the interpretation of the hairline, softening and putting light where we want it. The reverse stacking and short lifted nape create the illusion of a fuller head of hair in the fine-to-medium category, and the cheek-skimming side slice gives the entire haircut a sense of completeness. This is one of those shapes that at seventy will look modern without trying to look young (if that distinction makes sense) especially on oval-to-heart faces. For this to be successful, there needs to be precise stacking and thoughtful colour placement. Otherwise, you will get banding that shows where the layers are.
#18 Silver Reverse-Stacked Pixie-Bob with a Darker Root Seam
The silver base and darker root seam create an effective shadow at the scalp, making the hair look denser. Combined with the reverse-stacked graduation and temple-grazing slice, this is a really effective haircut to give an oval face lovely framing without being fussy. I see this as a gift with shorter cuts. There’s a small crown cowlick that’s providing some natural lift, which I always consider a gift with shorter cuts. Interior point-cutting is used here to reduce the bulk without compromising the perimeter line. Daily shaping is going to be necessary to keep the crown where it belongs and that will have to be considered with the regrowth, so factor this in when you’re scheduling your appointment.
#19 Short Silver Pixie-Bob with a Tapered Nape and Natural Cowlick Lift
The crown cowlick gives a beautiful lift to the hair that people usually spend ten minutes trying to achieve with a blow-dryer. This is the lift we want and need! Choosing to style this cut to flow with the cowlick instead of against it is one of those small things that leads to great results in versatility for this cut. The tapered nape and soft side-swept fringe keep everything tidy without it being too rigid, and point-cut layering with razor texturizing on the ends gives just the right amount of movement. The lightweight nature of this cut means there will be minimal coverage over the ears and neck. If that is important to you, this is not the cut. But if you enjoy the feeling of openness, this is hard to beat.
#20. Lavender-Silver Pixie-Bob with a Long Side Fringe
The lavender gloss toner makes me want to sit and admire it for a moment. On pale silver hair, that violet undertone gives the whole color story a coolness that reads as very intentional, almost like jewelry for your hair. The cut itself is a solid graduated pixie-bob, micro-layers at the crown for lift, feathered point-cut ends, and diagonal forward graduation that moves everything toward the face in a flattering way. Texture fine, density moderate. The toner will fade and need refreshing, and root-lift styling keeps fine hair from going flat, but the color alone makes this one worth remembering.
#21 Silver Pixie-Bob with a Forward Micro-Fringe Detail
This one has a little micro-fringe forward at the temples, which most people probably won’t even notice, but it’s stealthily camouflaging some deeper forehead wrinkles more effectively than any concealer could. I love it when a cut does something functional and invisible like that. The rest of the shape is a well graduated pixie-bob with a soft side sweep and crown elevation for a bit more lift. Fine, mostly straight hair, medium-low density. Round brush blowdry and a little bit of light texturising through the point cut layers keeps it from going flat, and the overdirected side sweep softens the jaw without looking like a curtain.
#22 Pearl White Pixie-Bob with Stacked Graduation and Temple Wisps
Let’s break down pearl white for example. It may be perceived as sharp or even stark in some cases, but for many it can be regarded as bright or luminous. It all depends on the way the color is cut and styled. The stacked graduation creates a crown lift effect, the point-cut texture allows the hair to maintain movement and appearance of color shift, and the temple-grazing wisps just enough to keep things really interesting. The cool tone reduces the appearance of and brightens the skin without a washout effect. On fine-to-medium straight hair, the interior layering creates the impression of density. There is a lot of work to be done from you, and daily root-lift styling is part of the deal, but the cut’s structure does most of the work for you.
#23 Textured Silver Pixie-Bob with Natural Wave and Lowlight Depth
The hair’s natural wave is beautiful with the inner layering and gives an S-shaped design that looks organic and lived in. The silver with root melt and low lights gives depth that straight silver hair does not get. Paired with fine hair, the look overall appears fuller than it actually is. A styling paste or light blow dry sets that wave pattern and the side fringe keeps it soft and face framing. If you have extremely sparse hair in certain areas, this cut can reveal that so the part and layer placement is important. Not ideal for very coarse stick straight hair unless you’re prepared to use heat to encourage the texture.
#24 Ash-Blonde Pixie-Bob with a Root Shadow and Internal Ear Guide
An inner guide left at the ear on this cut that controls how the hair swings is the type of detail that sets apart a good pixie-bob from a great one. It’s a detail which is probably going to be missed by most, but it’s the difference between the movement being soft as opposed to choppy. The ash-blonde with subtle lowlights and root shadow means grow-out is already handled from the get-go so it’s not something you’ll be chasing down later. Stacked at the nape with a feathered side slice, the graduation angle needs to be spot on, so somewhere in that 30 to 45 degree range, and the razor texturizing needs to be bold or the ends will suffer. On fine to medium hair, the air-dry texture alone looks good, which is a rare thing.
#25 Warm Copper Pixie-Bob with Lift Built Into the Graduation
When selecting warm copper color for women in their seventies, it could be a recommendable or regrettable decision, but when it is right, it is right and this cut is well placed. The warm tone is especially useful on fine to medium light density hair because it helps to reduce contrast between the hair and scalp, disguising thinning areas. The face-framing layers are soft, and the crown gradation does its job. The subtle root shadow anchors it all. Micro layers combined with some razor texturing create lift and movement so the color has something to play with. The commitment to color maintenance is there, and a round brush blow dry does the trick to shape it each day, but the volume from this cut is seriously real.
#26 Chocolate-Brown Pixie-Bob with Silver Temple Detail
The silver at the temples is nice. Instead of treating it like something to cover up, it has been left to brighten the face, and a lovely difference is made with the contrast to the chocolate brown. It evokes an ‘earned and honest’ dimension. The stacked graduation at the nape and overdirected crown layers give the fine to medium hair the lift it needs, and the soft, face-framing fringe rounds everything off nicely. This cut does require some daily attention at the roots, and the crown tapering has to be done to precision. If too much is taken out, thinning areas will become obvious. A subtle root-shadow lowlight blends the gray transitions ‘without looking like you’re fighting them’.
#27 Textured Silver Pixie Bob with Playful Crown Layers
What I appreciate about the crown area is that it feels good with fine to medium hair. It allows the hair to move more so that it can flow and catch the light as it falls instead of just trying to add volume by force. The look is really nice with the silver color as it feels so lightweight. It really embodies low maintenance, although it will need regular trims as the shape will begin to grow out and the effortless look will disappear quite quickly.
#28 Feathered Pixie Bob That Frames Without Closing In
One thing I particularly like about this cut is how the feathered layers open up the face. There is ample length to style it a multitude of ways should you wish to; however, the texture prevents the hair from ever appearing stagnant. In this case, fine hair is actually a benefit because for the layers to create good dimension, they don’t need a lot of volume, only good placement. Layers are typically on the more natural side for oval and heart shaped faces, but on different face shapes it can be more obvious. The end result is polished, but there is quite a bit of upkeep to achieve it, and the staff is fast, so it won’t look like you put much time and effort into it.
#29 Silvery Stacked Pixie Bob with Soft Blended Tones
I love the blend here, and the tones don’t look streaky at all! On fine hair, especially with blended layers, the volume looks amazing. Lengths above the jawline compliment the bone structure and a slight wave looks more effortless than having it all straight. Of course, some styling will be necessary to keep it polished, but this is a style that doesn’t fall apart if you have to skip a day or two.
#30 Silvery Pixie Bob That Sits Just Right at the Nape
The placement of a cut can be its best quality. This one is just above the nape and opens up the neck while helping to accentuate the cheek bones. On fine to medium hair the subtle layering gives just the right amount of body without looking too full. The silvery color is really flattering and brightens the complexion. Lighter tones will require some toning maintenance to keep the hair from looking brassy so budget for it! The cut is refreshingly simple shape other than that.
#31 Silver Pixie Bob with Layers That Work Quietly
The layers in this haircut add a lot without saying too much. The layers help lift the cheekbones and keep the weight evenly distributed so nothing goes flat. The cut is also good in helping the silver highlight catch light at a variety of angles. The cut is short enough to feel fresh, while fine to medium hair creates texture that looks more intentional rather than accidental. Silver upkeep is the biggest consideration. Gentle regular toning will keep the brightness at your desired level, but the cut will require very little upkeep.
#32 Textured Pixie Bob with a Wispy Fringe and Shorter Back
The design is nice _ shorter in the back and longer in the front gives depth, and draws the eye forward more. Wispy fringe skimming the cheeks will expose the forehead, which is a nice feature for an oval and heart shaped face. For fine to medium hair, layered texture will give you the fullness you need, and the platinum color gives a fresh touch. You can really wash and wear this haircut, and that versatility is great at any age.
#33 Softly Textured Silver Pixie Bob with a Sweeping Side Fringe
The side-swept fringe adds a nice touch and changes the entire vibe of the cut. Without the fringe, it would just be a decent short pixie bob. With the fringe, it feels more purposeful, and a little more romantic, which isn’t really mentioned often with shorter styles. The length above the nape shows off the neck and collarbone, and with fine to medium density the layers provide just enough movement that the cut doesn’t feel like it’s too stagnant. With continual upkeep of this style, the fringe is the only thing that really requires maintenance in between cuts because once the fringe loses its shape, it really changes everything.
#34 Soft Pixie Bob with Silver Elegance and Room to Breathe
There is no effort needed to wear this style. It just works. With layers about 2-3 inches, it creates a lightness that almost gives a feeling of floating hair, even when it’s still. Fine to medium texture hair achieves that freedom and movement to the style. The extra movement added is not obnoxious. The shape sits nicely on the majority of face shapes. It is super easy to wear and is a classy, versatile way to style grey hair.
#35 Modern Pixie Bob with Quiet Volume on Fine Hair
The real challenge is adding volume to fine straight hair in a natural way; this cut achieves that. The layered texture creates a feeling of lightness that translates to more volume in the hair. Layered cuts also make the hair look clean and proportional, as well as making styling easy. This classic shoulder-length cut lands just above the collar bone. The face-framing layers highlight the cheekbones and are very flattering on oval face shapes. The gray color has a soft, very pleasant look to it. On days when added volume is desired, root lift spray will be a good go-to. However, with the cut structured like this, there’s a lot of volume from the cut without needing to do too much to it.
#36 Light Blonde Pixie Bob with Airy Layers and Easy Movement
I believe the layers give a great airy feel for fine hair, and they help keep things really mobile without a ton of fuss. When a haircut looks styled, even when it looks like it isn’t, that is one of the best qualities a haircut can have, and the movement and dimension in the hair is great for this. The length and layers work together to nicely frame oval and heart-shaped faces. A light mousse will help with more definition if you like that, and shorter styles grow out faster so keep your trim schedule in mind.
#37 Elegant Short Pixie Bob with Dimension in the Layers
With this cut, the layering gives volume while also honoring the hair’s natural density and not working against it. Finding the middle ground between softness and structure can be tricky, but this cut does it perfectly on fine, medium density hair. The short length is super refreshing and the face framing is flattering without feeling overly structured. A front piece that is a little longer to provide sweepability and tuckability is nice to have. A trim keeps it intentional and the styling is about five minutes of your morning.
#38 Silver Pixie Bob with Layers That Flatter and Stay Put
Your fine hair will be made to look fuller by the silvers, due to the denser looking texture created by the cut. This sits beautifully with the oval and heart shaped faces. It draws the eyes and cheekbones with a soft touch rather than creating a drama. It combines a contemporary colour with a classic shape and that makes it timeless rather than trendy. Most of the commitment will come from the maintenance of the layers, a trim every few weeks will help keep the movement from muddled.
#39 Textured Pixie Bob with Gentle Waves and Jaw-Length Framing
This style showcases your waves and gives an organic feel instead of the more structured look of a pixie bob. The waves also help with the illusion of volume around the jawline and the cut helps to flatter oval faces. The added waves can help medium and fine hair types look more voluminous as well. If you want more contrast a subtle balayage will help but this is perfect as is.
#40 Asymmetrical Silver Pixie Bob with a Little Playfulness
This haircut has a gentle asymmetry that offers a unique character without being too outlandish. With the layers that soften the complexion and accentuate the cheekbones, combined with the silver shade that brightens the face and adds a contemporary touch, the fine, medium-density, slightly wavy texture offers a young, lively movement. This haircut is flattering from every viewpoint, which typically implies the balance is perfect. If you wish to preserve the wavy definition, apply a light cream to your damp hair and work it through. Nevertheless, the texture of the haircut does most of the work.
#41 Textured Pixie Bob with a Flattering Nape-Grazing Length
Hair with a touch of length over the nape creates a neat silhouette that is simple to style, and with some soft volume created through the crown, you won’t have to contend with a flat look every day. This light grey colour on fine straight hair is bright enough to frame the face beautifully, and the texturising adds enough to keep the style from appearing bland and flat. On days when you want more hold at the roots, a volumising powder will be useful, but the style really does most of the talking. This is a more polished and refined hair cut that is very easy to maintain.
#42 Wispy Pixie Bob with a Wave at the Ends
The little end wave is probably unintentional, but it adds individuality to this cut that more polished cuts don’t have. The layers are face-framing without being overly ornate, and the neck length Considered vs. practical distinction is spot on. Where fine hair density usually works against the cut, here it works in the cut’s favor as it all stays light and airy. The movement from the ends’ wave adds life to the whole cut and elevates it. This shape is best maintained by regular trims, but the real personality lies in what the hair is doing.
#43 Layered Pixie Bob with Crown Texture and a Slight Asymmetry
The subtle asymmetry on this style adds some intrigue to the face shape while keeping it a mystery. The length above the nape is easy to maintain, and the crown area is textured to add height and movement which fine, abundant hair holds really well. It gives an easy height. It gives a very natural balance to an oval or heart-shaped face. You may need a little light texturizing spray to keep the volume throughout the day, however, the cut’s structure does most of the work.
#44 Delicate Pixie Bob with Soft Bangs and Low-Effort Styling
A good example of a hairstyle where less is more is this one. The bangs are soft and not too thick, while the length is short enough to avoid looking too fussy. On fine hair, the haircut is cleverly layered to give the hair the look of additional fullness. It creates a nice frame around the face and overall looks polished and put together without the effort. Maintaining the shape gives it an intentional quality, and the hairstyle is exactly what most people want with minimal daily effort.
#45 Textured Pixie Bob with Wispy Layers and Jawline Movement
The wispy layers here add dimension and movement to fine and medium hair keeping the cut dynamic. Lengths that just skim the jawline frame the face nicely and suit most face shapes, especially ovals and hearts, as they add highlights without narrowing the face. The overall effect is relaxed elegance that doesn’t require much in the way of daily styling, other than perhaps some styling to create texture. A little more colour strategy may enhance the texture a bit more, but the layering of the cut is enough to create interest.
#46 Silver Pixie Cut with Dimension Just Above the Collar
The length right above the collar is that sweet spot length between a pixie and a bob. These subtle layers add just enough dimension so the silver reads rich and not flat. On fine to medium hair, that fullness is not reliant on product. Soft layers provide a beautiful frame to oval and heart shape faces and the soft silver lightens and visually enhances the hair’s natural texture. The toned color-treated silver will need maintenance but the reality is the cut ages well between appointments.
#47 Silvery Stacked Pixie Bob with a Soft, Above-Shoulder Length
This one has soft layering that avoids the typical common pitfall of fine hair layers looking thin instead of moving. The stacking provides shape, the layers provide movement, and that silvery tone completes the look. The face-framing on round/heart-shaped faces is subtle enough to compliment without looking contrived that way. With a low-maintenance upkeep philosophy, the trims keep the shape from drifting into the vague territory. That’s the main thing to stay on top of.
#48 Refined Pixie Bob with Soft Edges and a Clean Nape
A good haircut is about how neat the haircut looks. This particular style has soft edges so it doesn’t have that blunt, helmet look. The nape trim looks tidy and also opens up the neck. When it comes to medium and fine hair, volume comes from the layering. This look gives an overall light and full appearance. This style works best for oval and heart shape faces. Keeping the trim honest is important, and especially with lighter colors that require more upkeep. Overall, you have an amazing cut and the daily wear is as easy as it gets.
#49 Soft Pixie Bob with Delicate Grey-Blending Layers
The soft layers of this cut work with the grey instead of trying to hide it. The layers add movement and dimension to fine straight hair which makes it more interesting than a boring flat one-length cut. The length just above the jaw is also easy to style and manage. This is a shape that will suit more mature clients wanting to embrace their natural colour while still having something that feels neat and styled. Less coarse hair types do grow out of shape more quickly than others, so keeping your trim appointments is more important than any styling you do at home.
#50 Elegant Pixie Bob with Wispy Layers and a Bright Feeling
Because of how this style is done, this also allows for wispy layers to be created. This gives some volume and creates movement, even allowing fine hair to feel like it is doing more and never feels forced. The shorter it is, the lighter and airier the feel to it. The face framing layers are wonderful, and I feel like there is an overall brightness that comes from the cut just as much as the color and the framing layers suits oval and heart shapes most. To enhance the layers, a texture spray can help, but on good hair days you might not need anything. It is the kind of haircut that makes getting ready a breeze.
