#1: Vintage Mauve Pixie Mullet on Fine Hair

If you love strong styles, try a vintage mauve pixie mullet on fine hair. Enjoy the razored layers which will give you soft edges and ends for a messy shape. Make sure you style the top flowing forward for a modern look. The longer wispy back creates the mullet shape and should be visible from the front. I recommend applying the mauve color at the root and adding highlights to achieve a color blend.

Your natural curls will enhance the shape without having to do much styling.

If you have thin hair, try a soft mini pixie mullet and make the most of your locks. A soft mullet is trending now, and the style uses natural movement in your hair, so it’s easy. Keep it feminine, leaving length around your ears and the back. Your top should be the shortest point and combed forward for a modern look. Bringing your hair forward will also make it look thicker, hiding thin spots.

Girls with limp, straight hair need to try a long, blonde pixie. Longer pixies work great with textured layers in the crown that will help finer hair perk up and volumize.

#22: Disheveled Pixie Mullet with Layers

Try the organic style of a disheveled pixie mullet with layers. Embracing your natural hair texture in new short shapes is very important. Your mixie should be dried flat with a texture paste, such as Mess It Up by Pureology. Whatever your texture, let it go its own way, and the layers will help you. Crop the bangs for a strong front and be you.

#23: Long Pixie Shullet

If your searching for a cool new shape, rock a long pixie shullet. Fine hair will work well with a shullet, because it’s dried flat, making your hair look thicker. Consider your face shape when choosing the length of the sides and bang. Longer face shapes might want to go shorter in these areas, and round face shapes longer. Shaggy cuts grow out well so your salon maintenance might be about every six weeks.

#29: Modern Layered Pixie Shag

The best looks for a square face include a modern layered pixie shag. Or, any variation of short length, depending on the texture and style preference.

A shaggy pixie mullet is a short edgy haircut with textured layers and fringe. The cut serves as a deep weight removal for hair, allowing freedom, movement, and a cool silhouette.

Haircut specialist Lauren Derbyshire of Wilmington, NC points out that you can “lean into imperfection.”

Pixie mullets, if cut right, are self-styling. They look best even when slept on and lightly restyled in the morning with only a salt spray or wax.

While this chop is effortless to prep, it features layers that still need styling. The short crown layers and face-framing pieces must be lying where they should be. “It’s not for any woman who likes to just wake up and go,” Derbyshire states.

To maintain the style, learn styling techniques using your hands and heat tools. Ask your stylist which products are best to use for air and blow-drying.

A short shaggy mullet has serious longevity as far as growing out seamlessly. If layers are all in the right places, you may not need a whole new haircut session in the salon every four weeks.

Nevertheless, trims are yet necessary. “I encourage reshaping the fringe and face frame in between full haircuts,” Lauren adds.
