#1: Side-Parted Red Long Pixie with Highlights
A red-colored pixie with highlights would have a fuller look if styled with side-parted long layers. Even a slight change in the positioning of your parting can immediately refresh your look. I recommend using a color-enhancing shampoo at home to maintain the vibrancy of your red tones between salon visits. Finish off your look using a shine spray!
#2: Brunette Pixie with Choppy Layers and Bangs
A brunette pixie with choppy layers and bangs is a lovely choice for women over 70. The spiky layers and mass of texture will make aging hair look fuller and more youthful. Moreover, this hairstyle adds a fun edge to your everyday look!

Older women with a square face shape should consider a pixie cut that’s longer and has thin layers. Longer pixie cuts are generally more flattering on square face shapes.

A long pixie cut can be styled in various ways — for an easy yet trendy look, wear it with short sides and a textured crown. Pixie cuts are practical, saving your styling time at home.

#7: Side-Swept Lixie for Round Faces
Round-faced ladies who are looking for a complimentary style should try a side-swept pixie. The low side part and draping front do wonders for a round face shape. The flatter lines of this cut are very youthful and easy to achieve. Keep in mind you are not trying to style this shape with a ton of fullness, so a medium round brush and your hands are all you need. You’ll want to dry the hair directionally to the side and front for a funky finish.
#8: Pompadour Silver Pixie
This beautiful silver pixie styled with a sleek quiff and a feathered finish is perfect for anyone who wants a short style that will fit any occasion.
#9: Long Pixie Blowout

#10: Pixie Shag with Light Bangs
Try the pixie shag with light bangs. The term shaglet refers to a long version of a pixie shag mullet. Choose this style when you prefer more length around your face and neck. The result is a soft layered shape that works beautifully with your bone structure and hair texture. For an easy finish, wash your hair and apply some cult king hair jelly.

#24: Blonde Long Pixie with Tapered Nape
A cut with a clean tapered nape provides a well-structured foundation. You can blow dry longer layers for a fuller volume. Keep the color close to your natural hue to blend rather than hide grey hairs for softer regrowth.
#25: Lixie Hair with Wispy Layers
A pixie haircut, firmly shaped, feels like a bob due to its layers and texture. This style helps if you have fine hair, as it adds volume. Keep the hair longer over the ear and maintain a sweeping fringe if you prefer hair around your face. After drying your hair, apply a texturing product to add separation. Try using products such as dry shampoo and hairspray because oil-based products may weigh your hair down.

#29: Long Pixie Cut for Wavy Hair
A long pixie cut for wavy hair is a great choice, especially if you would rather have a little bit more length than a traditional pixie.

A seventy-year-old with any face shape will look soft and stylish with this long pixie.

#31: Textured, Piece-y Long Pixie
A textured, piece-y long pixie is a trendy, feminine, and chic way to freshen up the hair without risking too much length off.

A long pixie with feathered layers is the perfect example of flattering short haircuts for women over 70. Soft layers moving away from the face perk up sagging facial features and make you appear younger-looking. A shorter cut is also less time-consuming to style, and tapering in the nape gets rid of even more hair. If your hair is a medium texture with some body, you might be able to air dry.

Hairstylist Jordan Truong of Medford, MA suggests pixie haircuts for older women.
“The biggest benefit with this cut is it’s easy to style , especially if you’re not good with a round brush. It’s the perfect go-to hairstyle for women with thin and fine tresses,” he points out.
Long pixies can be tricky to create, so find a skilled hairstylist to chop your locks. You can do your research via social media. “The most important thing to ask a stylist is if they have experience with short hair,” Truong adds.
Regular salon visits are a must to maintain a great style and sassy haircut. Go for a trim every 4-5 weeks to re-establish the pixie’s shape. However, this can be a drawback for 70-year-old women who can’t commit to this kind of maintenance.
