#1: Long Shagged Pixie with Choppy Bangs

When looking for a new short haircut, try a long shagged pixie with choppy bangs to add some edge to your look. The razored layers in the cut help take some weight out of a shaggy pixie cut for thick hair. Pair this cut with a textured pomade to be able to create piece-y movement and add some volume to this pixie cut.

#2: Shaggy Layered Long Pixie with Soft Bangs

The hairstyle is a shaggy, layered, long pixie with soft bangs. This adds softness and body to the hair. It’s a fantastic style for women above 40 seeking a sassy look. This hairstyle prominently displays crown height and petals that frame the face, carved with a razor.

#3: Short Hair with Razor Cut Layers

A hybrid shaggy pixie cut can give you a slightly textured edge with added texture at the crown, shorter layers, and fringe. This cut works well on oval faces. Playing with different lengths in the hair will give you texture and ease in styling. I would suggest using a little texture cream to style. Overall, this hairstyle does not need much more styling. A razor cut will be your best friend when creating this shape.

#4: Face-Framing Pixie with Shaggy Bangs

Get a pixie haircut that frames the face and has a soft, feathery, shaggy front to compliment elfin faces. This front area should be styled around the eyes and droop to the cheekbones. Keep the hair long at the nape to prevent the cut from looking too old-fashioned. Use a spray texture product to lightly style the hair. This approach gives a more relaxed appearance.

#5: Light Blonde Textured Pixie Mullet

Light blonde short hair always looks striking. Try teaming it with the current trendy cut, the pixie mullet. The mullet should stop at the neck for a more cohesive look. Layering adds texture. If you want to add a charming touch, keep the hair length around the ears long and let it fall onto the face. This look works well if a full fringe, either long or short, is blended in.

#6: Sleek Mini Mullet with Straight Bangs

If you’re looking for an easy to maintain style for straight hair, a mullet could be for you. ‘Wash and go’ is another option since it’s a simple style that doesn’t need complex styling.

#7: Razored Mullet with Soft Layers

If you have natural, textured hair, short hair can be a good option. It requires little to be done in the morning. Short hair enhances the curls, giving them a full, bouncy shape. Such a style works well with pixie mullets. If you aim for a softer, more feminine look, keep the area around the ears soft. Also, frame the face and eyes with a feathery fringe for a full effect.

#8: ’90s Razored Pixie Crop

A 90s-inspired pixie crop is the edgy haircut trend of the summer! A pixie crop can be a versatile haircut in different shapes and lengths. What makes a pixie edgy is the incorporation of texture and disconnected crown layers. The texture is key in keeping the 90s pixie edgy. To achieve maximum texture, I recommend using tools like a razor or point cutting. These methods still maintain a soft shape.

#9: Pixie Shag Hair with Micro Textured Bangs

A pixie shag hairstyle with micro-textured bangs is an edgy take on a 90’s inspired haircut. Pixie and shags have become popular because of their easy ability to style and wear. These types of haircuts can grow out softly and even allow people to air dry them with minimum effort. I recommend using a styling product like an air dry cream. My favorite hair balm is the one produced by Hairstory.

#10: Mini Pixie Shag with Swept Bangs

A short layered pixie adds tone and texture to your look. Keep the style versatile by maintaining length over the ears and having sweeping bangs. You can allow it to air dry or use a flat brush to gently control the hair while drying it.

When you are ready to grow your pixie longer, come to the salon for maintenance during this process. You will appreciate the regular maintenance.

Use a round brush to add volume and create soft, feathery, layered bangs.

Sometimes, you may feel weighed down by your hair and want a big change. Try this pixie cut. A razor is used for this cut to provide movement and texture to the hairstyle.

A short mullet cut maintains length at the back, adds softness over the ears, and is modern. The style’s layers that move and a swooping fringe add a feminine feel. Avoid over-styling the hair. Letting it air dry or using diffused low heat is preferred. For the product, scrunch a soft soufflé cream into the hair to define it.

#27: Razor Cut Pixie for Round Faces

Razor cuts work well for pixie hairstyles on round faces. If you have a round face shape, don’t rule out short hairstyles. You can make a great pixie-shag hairstyle by adding volume at the crown, texture, and layers. Having curtain bangs with a high center can help lengthen the face. This style also softens your overall look with delicate framing around the face.

#29: Very Short Shag with Heavy Layers

You’ll cherish the simplicity of maintaining a very short, heavily layered shag haircut. Remember that longer top layers may flatten the hair’s silhouette, which might not suit your preference if you aim for volume. Ask your stylist to cut the sides and back in a shaggy style to boost your hair’s natural body and instigate movement. The cute fringe will be a charming focal point to your natural style. Just leave your hair to air dry with texture wax and relish your speedy hair routine.
