50 Best Soft Pixie Cuts for Active Seniors

#1: A Sweet Little Feathered Pixie That Just Works

It is really good for her, and the model picture really sold me. The added float from these feathered layers will be soft and flowy rather than limp and lifeless. The texture is great, and the lack of overdone texture is welcomed. The modern and piece-y separation is just enough to keep it from being an “I’m trying way too hard” mess. The shorter sides are a nice soft balance, and you will definitely want to see your stylist a few times because this shape is going to go from cute to shapeless in about five weeks, but honestly, that is a pretty easy commitment to make when it is this good.

#2 Airy Little Crown-Lifter with That Perfect Baby Swoop

The crown does look great! The waves are the perfect example of a natural finish and the stylist was smart enough to leave them alone. It all looks effortless, but there’s real skill involved. The radial graduation is providing lift without looking like a helmet. If you have fine hair that moves even a little bit, you should save this one. It’s definitely the best compared to everything else on this list. Good texture paste will be essential to get that separated look and your stylist should really know what they’re doing around the nape because if that cut isn’t precise, the cowlicks back there will totally rat you out.

#3 That Berry-Burgundy Situation That Makes Me Want to Be Brave

I love berry-burgandy glazes and we’re all about the rich color! A lot of clients struggle to allow us to use anything bold but it warms up her skin tone so well. The haircut is also incredible, only an inch or two taken off the top with a feathered mini-fringe to soften the forehead nicely. Just between us, this stunning color is going to fade in a hurry and you’ll be reaching for a color-depositing conditioner long before your appointment if you don’t want to be sad by week four.

#4 Choppy Auburn Micro Fringe with All That Crown Energy

I can see a lot of personality in the crown lift and I can see the cowlick that the stylist worked with instead of against, so smart! That’s a sign of someone who knows their stuff and works with the hair instead of trying to fight it. The auburn color is a beautiful choice for her complexion, it really warms up her whole look. For me, this hairstyle would be a simple root lift blow dry and a little bit of light paste and I would be good to go. The micro fringe could help if you’re self conscious about your forehead, but it might make it more noticeable so definitely speak to your stylist about that before you get it.

#5 Bronde and Breezy with That Effortless Side Sweep

The pixie cut I show clients who are concerned about cuts being too harsh. There is nothing harsh about this cut. The side sweep is romantic and gentle while the graduated nape keeps everything clean and tidy without feeling too blunt. Her bronde is also complimenting her skin tone. It’s a tricky warm-cool balance and the colorist hit the mark. The tone’s regrowth shows quickly so you’ll either have to accept a visible grow-out or get touch-ups more frequently than you’d like.

#6 Tousled Cinnamon Crop That Looks Like You Woke Up This Cute

I adore how this looks undone, but we all know how great the cut is and what looks so great is that messy crown. The added movement from point cutting, and some razor work, provide movement that a prayer and a flat iron simply cannot provide. The warm cinnamon blend with the silver strands is a thoughtful option that helps the illusion of less obvious regrowth and allows for more time between color appointments. If you are active, and need a style that you won’t have to spend twenty minutes on in the morning to style, this is it! Just ensure that whoever cuts it knows how to razor-texturize, otherwise it could look like someone went at it with pinking shears.

#7 Silver Crop with the Tiniest Little Bangs That Somehow Work

Silver hair paired with micro bangs is so energetic and refreshing! It’s modern, cool, and a bit European. Plus, she’s not in her twenties which makes it even better. It shows so much confidence which really makes a haircut work. The feathered bangs soften the forehead area without being too blunt or harsh. Also, the tapered nape looks clean and classy. You’ll need a texturizing product just about every day to keep the crown from falling too flat. If your hair is silver, using blue toning shampoo is a must if you don’t want to have yellow hair under fluorescents.

#8 Platinum Feathered Situation with the Prettiest Side Sweep

Platinum color can go two ways — it can look really good, or it can look like a mistake. This example is really good. The feathering technique makes it look less harsh, and the side swept bangs adds some movement which softens the look a lot. The root shadow is a nice addition because it adds some depth to it so it looks like she didn’t just paint her head with a roller. Of all the cuts on this list, this is definitely one of the simpler styles to manage. You could almost just let it air dry and it would look good, but you will need some product at the crown or it will go flat by lunch.

#9 Sun-Kissed Bronde with All That Natural Lift

I spot a cowlick situation at the crown and the stylist made it into the best part of the whole cut, which is honestly my favourite thing to see. That natural lift saves you five minutes every morning and a lot of root-lifting spray. I love how sunny the bronde tone is without being try-hard. It also photographs beautifully which matters more than people want to admit. Just know this is a neck-baring cut though, so if that’s not something you’re comfortable with, you should know upfront. And if your bronde starts pulling warm, a quick toning treatment will sort that out before it gets to full brass territory.

#10 Copper Pixie with Wispy Fringe and Zero Fuss Factor

I like how the soft fringe camouflages the hair without concealing her face, plus that crown is so light I can see the razor work was on point. The warm copper is my favorite for this age group because it brings the skin to life in a way cooler tones just don’t. The look is a reverse graduation which sounds all fancy but basically just means the weight is where you want it and nowhere else. Just keep in mind that the copper will definitely go brassy on you, that’s the trade with warm reds, so a demi-gloss every few weeks will keep it honest.

#11. Chestnut Side-Sweep with the Perfect Amount of Salt and Pepper

[img class=”size-full wp-image-98956″ src=”https://content.latest-hairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/galleries/2026/02/27/short-textured-chestnut-pixie-side-swept-fringe-active-senior.jpg” alt=”Short Textured Chestnut Pixie with Side-Swept Fringe” width=”1200″ height=”1500″ />

I like how gray on the temples adds depth and contrasts with the chestnut color. It makes the whole hairstyle more interesting. The clean stacked nape adds to this a lot as well. The side swept bangs adds dimension to the front. Most of this is a low dry situation. You will want to use something really light like a cream or mousse to keep the shape throughout the day. If you want to maintain gray in the hairstyle, I think you should plan on blending because it could come off as careless salt and pepper looks.

#12 Mauve-Toned Pixie That’s Braver Than It Looks

A woman over sixty years old is wearing an on-trend hair color, which I find extremely admirable because it does not look like she is trying to fit in with a younger demographic. The mauve toner gives a silver base a gentle lilac warmth that is very flattering. The feathered crown provides lovely movement, and the micro-fringe is serving and not being too committal. Let’s be real, though, mauve toner fades fast. Within a few weeks you should expect to go in for demi-perm gloss touch ups to keep it maintained, and you’ll have to use a daily texturizer to ensure those little crown spikes don’t flop over.

#13 Peach-Copper Feathered Crop That Photographs Like a Dream

The peach copper on this one is in that lovely warm-bright area that makes skin look good without screaming “look at my hair”. I keep noticing the little strands that frame the ears and are just long enough to show a nice earring, which shows the stylist was thinking about the whole picture not just the cut. The natural crown lift gives me effortless vibes, probably thanks to some good point cutting. The color is going to need some toning to stay in this zone because peach tones are tricky, but the cut is going to serve you well between appointments with minimal daily effort.

#14 Copper Micro Crop with a Cowlick That Earned Its Keep

I see another cowlick earning overtime, and I don’t hate it. That natural little lift at the crowns is doing more than most styling products, and the person who cut this was clever enough to leave it alone and build around it. The warm copper with the deeper lowlights give it dimension that keeps it from reading flat, which is always a risk with very short cuts on fine hair. You will most definitely need a styling paste to keep up because the spiky texture on top won’t maintain itself, and copper tones fading is just a fact. But the shape is strong and the color is flattering, and sometimes that is all that matters.

#15 Soft Silver Pixie with a Fringe That Knows What It’s Doing

I can see the micro fringe had some thought put into it, and I like that. Micro bangs can be a disaster if they’re done poorly, but when done well they’re so good. These are some good micro bangs because they’re framing her eyes beautifully and the crown feathered layers are giving her the lift she needs most. There looks to maybe be some temple thinning, which the layering smartly camouflages. If you’re embracing your silver, then this is how you do it. Instead of just letting it happen, you styled into it with intent. A little wax or paste would be great for some daily texturizing, and whoever cuts your hair next will need to understand directional layering because there’s a left-side cowlick that would create chaos in incompetent hands.

#16 Brushed-Forward Bronde with Quiet Crown Volume

I really like this one. The simplicity is deceptive. There is a lot of hidden complexity with softer fullness at the top from internal texturizing and stacked layers. It’s opposite of simple. The forward brushed style works well with what appears like a forward cowlick, and good stylist. The bronde lowlights and root shadow make regrowth look intentional and add depth without the full commitment. You will need a quick blow dry or some product in the morning to combat crown deflation, and it’s a hair wash and go situation, so I deeply respect this look.

#17 Ginger Pixie with That Face-Framing Sweep I Keep Recommending

I recommend this face-framing sweep to about three clients a week because, and I quote, “it softens without hiding.” Those longer pieces sweep to the cheekbones, and with the sides cut shorter, it provides flattering contrast for just about everyone. The light band on the temples is a nice touch that brightens freckled skin. Whoever made that call is good with color theory. You’ll need a round brush and lightweight cream for an everyday sweep, but this is a two minute routine, not a twenty minute one.

#18 Warm Chestnut Crop That Proves Short Hair Can Be Cozy

This entire look has more warmth than just the color. The crown and feathered fringe texture combine more inviting than severe. Rich chestnut hair is a good choice. Hair that is too dark can drain your face especially with dark hair against mature skin. The graduated nape is neat, while the lived-in crown has some nice lift from the cowlick. Overall the shape is flattering in a way you can’t quite put your finger on, but you end up staring at it. Red tones in chestnut fade quickly so to keep that warm color, a color maintaining routine will be needed as that warmth will quickly become muddy.

#19 Rounded Ash-Blonde Pixie That’s Giving Classic Done Right

Here’s the thing: This gateway pixie is short enough to qualify, but the rounded shape and soft fringe make it feel less like a massive shift. The ash-blonde shade along with the subtle root shadow makes the whole look very expensive, and very natural. The graduated crown gives lift without that spiky texture, so if you want short hair that’s soft and feminine, this is your blueprint. Fine hair will need some internal graduation to avoid looking too flat (which it looks like the stylist already did), and you’ll want to stay on top of the root shadow because once it grows out unevenly, the illusion totally falls apart.

#20 Strawberry-Blonde Texture with Cool Temple Highlights

The babylights at the temples make for a great focal point because they really play up the area around the eyes and brighten her whole face. A colorist who gets placement like this is one to celebrate. The warm strawberry blonde body contrasts beautifully with those cooler temple pieces, and the overall texture is light and airy, perfect for someone who doesn’t want to think about her hair more than absolutely necessary. A light paste will be suitable for separation and the warmth will need to be toned before it goes too golden, but the cut is probably the most low maintenance thing on this whole list.

#21 Curly Pixie That Made Me Rethink Everything

It’s a welcoming sight to witness a curly pixie cut and this good! The stylist understands how to treat the hair to specific techniques that are required to get those inner layers to fall. The gentleness of the baby wave at the hairline from the forward cowlick is adorable, and this will absolutely require a light curl cream and a diffuser because it’s not a wash-and-go situation. This will definitely be a highly appreciated result by curly girls. If your hair is fine and straight, please do NOT bring this photo to the appointment because we’re just going to end up disappointed.

#22 Ash-Blonde Layers with That Neck-Lengthening Sideburn Detail

The sideburns take an impressive approach to the elongation of the neck line and create a more elegant overall silhouette. While many may not notice the sideburns, many will notice how polished and put together the look is, demonstrating the skill level in the work. The layers are split vertically for movement without the chunky feel and ash-beige lowlights break up fine hair and prevent it from looking flat. The side swept fringe just barely enough to cover the forehead to be useful without the full commitment. Daily crown volume root lifting will be necessary, but apart from that it will be a quite easy style.

#23 Copper Micro Pixie That’s Tiny but Mighty

I appreciate how much detail there is here for a short style. The cut layers offer some nice texture at this length with the raised crown, and the micro tapered nape is nice without crossing into military territory. This is probably the fastest style + go cut on the list. If you really need to, you could get this done in under two minutes on a late morning and still look good. The copper is lovely with her skin, but keep in mind, red is the fastest fading color. If you want that vibrant color, I’d suggest a color refresh!

#24 Soft Blonde Feathered Pixie That I Want on My Own Head

I can’t help but feel a little sentimental about this one. The feathering is beautiful, not a single line is harsh, and it still has shape and direction. The natural crown swirl offers built-in lift which means less product, less heat and less effort. Honestly that’s the trifecta. The micro fringe sits nicely and doesn’t overwhelm the forehead and the overall silhouette is clean and feminine without being fussy. If your hair is really fine some hold volumizing mousse may be needed. For the cut to feel volumetric some blended lowlights may be required. Structurally this cut is doing most of the work though.

#25 Blush Rose Over Silver That’s Making Me Rethink Pastels

I used to be a little prejudiced against pastel hair on older clients because I had seen some awful implementations, but this looks great. The blush-rose over silver base is so soft, so natural, and so harmonizing to her skin tone. It doesn’t look like she has a costume shop wig on. The root shadow adds to that natural look even more. The fleathered crown and tiny cowlick give height that no amount of product would replicate. The look is finished off with a classic point cut and micro fringe. There is nothing revolutionary about this, but the color really takes it to the next level. She will need salon refreshes for the pastels as they will fade and become less gorgeous, but when it is freshly done, the color is so beautiful.

#26 Warm Copper Micro Crop with the Cutest Baby Bangs

These kinds of styles can be controversial, and it takes confidence to rock them. However, these ones are definitely softer and don’t bracket her face like a mistake. The clipper-tapered sides are a nice clean touch, and the silver showing through the warm copper looks more authentic than a block color. This is going to be a very low maintenance cut in terms of daily styling, but the color will require upkeep. Warm copper on lightened hair just isn’t going to maintain itself, and I won’t lie about it.

#27 Flirty Waves on a Pixie That’s Way More Fun Than It Should Be

Adding soft waves to a pixie cut is like pairing a fancy dress with sneakers — it doesn’t seem like it would work but somehow it totally does! These waves create added personality, volume, and help fine hair stand out as opposed to looking flat with a super sleek pixie cut (which is definitely not as interesting as this cut). The jaw-hugging length of the cut is super flattering and the layering creates enough body without going too overboard. I will say that hair of this length isn’t going to just wave up on its own, so you will need to put in a little effort with a mini curling wand and some wave spray to keep it looking that way. However, the result is definitely worth the additional five minutes!

#28 Playful Layers That Are Doing More Than They Look Like

This style may seem simple, but that’s what makes it special. There are layers that look effortless, but it takes a lot of skill to get layers to fall like that. This is especially the case for fir to medium hair that just sits there. These layers also have some highlights that catch light really good and add just the right amount of dimension to the hair without being too flashy. You’ll have to get your hair trimmed regularly because shaggy pixies lose their shape a lot quicker than blunt pixies do. In fact, you’ll find it easy to style pixie hair between appointments and will have a great result that looks really good, but not too formal.

#29 Textured Pixie with Layers That Actually Earn Their Keep

I work with pixies all day. I cut layers in all of them, and I can tell you not all layers are equal, and these layers are doing exactly what they are supposed to, giving volume at the crown and movement through the top without creating strange side puff. The highlights are really pretty and do a lot to lift the look overall. If you have fine hair and are worried about going short means going flat, this is the perfect option because the layering is made to avoid that. Keeping the shape will involve some trims, but the rest of the styling is as easy as it gets.

#30 Soft-Layered Pixie with That Fresh Morning Energy

This is what I would give someone who says, “I want short but I want soft,” since it covers both specifications without compromise. The layers provide some body to fine hair and create movement so the entire cut feels alive rather than just sitting on your head. The medium length is manageable while still providing enough hair to style if that’s what you want to do. My suggestion is to just leave it and let it do its thing. If your hair tends to be on the finer side, a volumizing spray at the roots should help keep that lifted look, especially during the afternoons when everything tends to deflate.

#31 Rounded Feathered Pixie That Flatters Everyone and I’m Not Exaggerating

I’ve put this design on so many different face shapes, and it looks good on pretty much all of them. I dont say this lightly as I have high standards on what works for who. So long as the face is framed loosely and nothing is hidden, and the shorter length keeps it firmly in “I didn’t even have to try”. If you’re over sixty and want something easy to keep up with but looks like you’ve put more effort into it, this is as close to a universal recommendation as I will get. To keep it looking good on the shorter side, make sure to get a trim every five to six weeks. If you want to do more than that, some highlights around the face would look stunning.

#32 Vibrant Orange Pixie That’s Not for the Faint of Heart

I love this color! It looks much better than a dull ash blonde and really comes to life. The hair is short and sassy which is what makes it special. The softer colors are a nice touch to offset the brightness. The hair is really fine so the texture also looks nice. To be honest, it is a big commitment for maintenance! Expect to use a color-depositing conditioner and go to the salon regularly so that the color doesn’t fade to light peach. That being said, if this picture makes you happy the maintenance is worth it!

#33 Lively Layered Pixie with a Personality of Its Own

This cut looks very good. The layers add an energy and make it look alive rather than messy. It looks nice how the hair is framed and the crown lift is a fine hair length. If you want a fun haircut and playful look, even for a grocery run, this is a fun haircut. You need to keep trimming layers to stay on top of it too and it won’t change the vibe and nobody wants that!

#34 Tousled Pixie That Looks Expensive Without Being Complicated

The messy look is like, \”I just woke up, raked my fingers through my hair, and left looking amazing,\” which is truly our goal. The layers around the forehead calm everything down, and without being bangs, make it look better. They are more of a suggestion than a strong statement and it is very effective. Hair this fine and this textured, develops a volume that is otherwise unavailable, meaning you don\’t have to style it because it retains its shape. Once it settles, you may want a dry texturizing spray to give it some more volume, but that will make your mornings really easy.

#35 Classic Soft Pixie That Doesn’t Need to Be Interesting to Be Good

Not needing to shout for attention can be the best type of haircut, and this is that haircut. The soft texture, the ear-length shape, and the light blonde that brightens up everything are not trying to be edgy or experimental. This is the type of cut that is suitable anywhere, from a Tuesday morning grocery run to a Saturday night dinner, and she shifts between those occasions without any changes. It’s flattering which is almost beside the point, but for an active lifestyle, the low-maintenance of it is really the whole point.

#36 Wavy Pixie with More Movement Than You’d Expect

The soft waves really helped this cut achieve great volume. You can see what great texture does for short hair. Good texture creates an illusion of fullness and movement regardless of length. The softer layers around the face will help rounder faces, and above ear length keeps everything neat and manageable. For this style to work, your hair will need to be wavy naturally and if it’s not, then you’ll have to encourage some waves with a wave spray and possibly a quick touch of a flat iron to create some bends. I know it’s a few extra minutes to your morning routine, but it’s definitely worth it.

#37 Warm-Toned Pixie That Glows from the Inside Out

Short hair with warm tones makes the skin glow, especially as it cools down, and this hair cut shows exactly that. The soft layers add just the right amount of dimension to fine hair so it looks full (without being over-layered), which is tricky with shorter hair. It’s short enough to be really easy to maintain, but there’s still enough length to give hair to leave to play with. The only necessary maintenance on your end is getting trims regularly to keep the shape, and this style basically looks after itself.

#38 Choppy Textured Crop for When You Want Short with an Edge

Choppy cuts give attitude that soft pixies and other cuts like this lack. The softness comes from the lighter layers but there’s enough texture to keep it from being too sweet. For someone wanting a pixie out cut, but without getting the ain’t you sweet, this is the one. It has the attitude and grit, and is a perfect frame for round and oval faces. For fine textures, a little product for hold will suffice to keep the choppy pieces from looking messy, but you don’t need much.

#39 Layered Pixie That Figured Out How to Make Fine Hair Look Full

I always prioritize making my clients over 50 with fine thinning hair look as full as possible, and this cut does the most for it. The gentle layering adds movement which is perceived as more volume, and messy styling helps with that too. The hair is cut above the ears which keeps it all light and the shape is really nice without being too harsh. It will take just a couple of minutes in the morning with a round brush (or just your fingers) and some product to reshape it, but it shouldn’t take a ton of effort. It’s more of a low effort situation that just gives good results.

#40 Texturized Pixie with Soft Edges and Zero Drama

This cut is simple, but looks great, and it doesn’t have to try that hard to accomplish this. The cut is very flattering. There are some subtle layers throughout the hair that add a nice touch, and the hair is cut above the nape of the neck so it will be super easy to style. While this cut might not be the most thrilling, it is probably the most reliable. Sometimes, you need something that you can count on with your hair. Just make sure to keep up on your trims because the cut is going to look good for a really long time.

#41 Gently Layered Pixie That Frames Like It Was Custom-Built

The perfect framing of the face, and the way the cut is structured to my liking is what makes this cut special to me, and what I believe sells it the most. The aim of the front pieces is to enhance the look of the cut, and do it so subtly that it may go unnoticed by many. The cut goes to just above the jawline for added versatility, so a super short crop is not needed. The layering alleviates the cut from looking too heavy, wiglike, or dense. The layers do the framing work for the cut, and because of this, it is important to maintain them even as the layers grow out. Don’t skip trims expecting it’ll be alright eventually, because it won’t be. You will lose all the framing layers really needed to make this cut special.

#42 Short Textured Pixie with Volume in All the Right Places

The volume is correct on this one, it is at the crown, and nowhere else. That may sound simple enough, but it is one of the things most pixie cuts get wrong. Many add bulk in all the wrong places, or take too much off the top and leave too much weight at the ears. The added side swept bangs are flattering. They work on pretty much every face shape, and the texture adds volume to finer hair as well. With this shape, you do have to commit to regular trims. The styling may be a little high, but it is a trade off I would take any day.

#43 Feathered Pixie That Adds a Youthful Softness Without Trying

The feathered style is beautiful and creates a softness that feels effortlessly young. The layers give great movement, and the edges are rounded which provides versatility in framing the face. Feathered pixie cuts are fantastic for fine to medium hair because the added texture creates the needed density. In terms of maintenance, this is definitely a standard pixie cut, which means you need to stay on top of regular trimming schedules. If you want to use product, it’s light use, but that’s really all there is to it. I like that it is just a simple cut.

#44 Soft Pixie with a Slight Wave That Adds Just Enough Interest

Instead of being simple, the little wave at the top of this cut makes it interesting, and it really does make a difference. Shorter layers and light bangs offer a modern feel/d look, and the fine texture gives the hair an airy feel that heavier hair of this length lacks. This cut will look good with any tiny natural wave, and even if you don’t have one, a mini flat iron will do the trick. Trims will keep the shape intact, but the day-to-day is refreshingly simple.

#45 Light Brown Pixie with Bangs That Know Their Job

These bangs do an amazing job at what bangs are supposed to do on a pixie: softening angular features and adding a little personality without taking over the whole look. The slightly longer top gives you a bit more flexibility when it comes to styling. You can push it to the side, mess it up and do a forward motion, or stick it straight back if you’re more on the bold side of things. The light brown is also an excellent choice that is flattering on everyone and doesn’t come with the maintenance of having to keep up a brighter color. If your hair is fine, it is going to need a volume powder at the roots to keep everything from going flat, but the structure of the cut is such that it should work on its own most days.

#46 Understated Pixie with a Soft Fringe That Ties Everything Together

The bangs give the style an softness that looks approachable while also being polished enough for work. In fact, what I like about the whole haircut is that it is understated yet very nice. The soft layers are perfect for fine hair to achieve the volume that it needs, and the overall shape of the haircut enhances the volume without being too much, which is the main goal when working with lower density hair. This is such a good haircut for someone who doesn’t want to spend time styling their hair. It still looks like you put a lot of effort into it, and that is a nice compliment to get.

#47 Curly Textured Pixie for When Straight Isn’t Your Thing

Instead of straightening curly hair, I like when pixie cuts celebrate curls, like in this example where the shape and intention is to let the texture do its thing. Soft curls can create a level of volume and interest that a flat iron just can’t achieve, and the fringe does a great job of softening angler features beautifully. This look works best for fine to medium hair with natural curls, and in terms of styling, pretty much no maintenance is required aside from possibly a curl cream that can be scrunched in after a wash. For this look, trims are really important because curly pixie cuts that grow out that way are more of a rule than an exception.

#48 Warm Brown Layered Pixie with Subtle Crown Lift

The flowing strands in the crown area are giving the hair some lift, and that also creates a nice overall balance. The facial warm brown highlights are youthful and cozy, plus the layers are kept nicely flowing without overdoing it. This is a reliable pixie that is good for first time or newbies who have sported this length for years, as the proportions are spot on. It’s a given that you’ll need trims to keep it in this range, but daily maintenance is pretty much limited to an optional decision regarding product.

#49 Short Textured Crop with That Perfect Feathered Fringe

The feathered fringe is the most important part. For round face shapes, it builds a visual line to create an elongation effect. The extra height and volume at the crown gives balance to the side features and creates more symmetry to the face. The cut’s texture also helps avoid a helmet head look as it cuts the risk of looking bulky on top. This look works best with fine hair as it will stay light and airy. Heavier hair will resist the structure. It will create an unkept look so be ready for frequent trims. The effect of a feathered fringe is proportional, so once it grows a quarter of an inch, you lose the effect completely.

#50 Dark Textured Pixie with That Rich-Girl Volume

The rich hue creates depth that lighter shades don’t provide. The silky layers beautifully contrast the short sides. The top layers have volume that I presume is a result of good layering. The movement is polished and natural, just not stiff. If you have a passion for dark shades and were contemplating on whether a pixie cut would suit you, this is proof that it definitely does. The only trade off is that the rich color will need less frequent maintenance, so you can sacrifice some morning styling to achieve this.
