A long pixie cut is a short-length cut where the hair is longer than a traditional pixie cut. These cuts are usually shorter in the back and sides, while longer on top with long bangs. It’s the best haircut for women who want a low-maintenance, short hairstyle that isn’t too short.
Minnesota-based stylist Torrie Rinehart likes this type of short cut that can help women with fine or thin hair. “If you’re frustrated by your hair’s lack of volume or by its limp texture, shorter cuts like a longer pixie are ideal. It works only if you can commit to using products,” she says.
Tips on How to Choose a Long Pixie Cut
What’s great about long pixies is the opportunities to change things up. Play with colors and add some details like a fringe or an undercut. “You can always grow your hair back if you think it wasn’t right for you,” Rinehart assures.
Short, sculpted pixie haircuts tend to seem like your tresses grow a lot faster. Especially on thicker hair, you may feel like it starts to poof out as it grows. Rinehart suggests “getting weight consistently removed from your mane. Go to the salon every 6-10 weeks to keep its shape.”
Here are the most important things you shoulder consider when choosing long pixie haircuts.
- Maintenance: If you want to keep your hair short, it will require more salon visits and styling to time.
- Styling and Products: Buy some texturizing paste, wax, or spray for a modern messy pixie crop.
- Face Shape:
- Round Faces: Keep the bangs longer and angled and the hair straight to make your face appear narrower.
- Square Faces: Consider a long shaggy pixie cut to balance out a strong jawline.
- Long Faces: Choose a side-parted look with a wavy texture to shorten your face a bit.
- Oval Faces: You can pretty much wear any cut you see here!
- Heart Faces: You can also choose any cut that catches your eye!
- Hair Type:
- Thick Hair: Will require more texture to thin and shape the cut to take weight out.
- Thin and Fine Hair: Ask your stylist to cut more layers for your hair to appear thicker.
- Curly Hair: As with most cuts for curly hair, it will require more maintenance and products to keep your curls healthy and the shape of your cut. I suggest seeing a DevaCut specialist.
- Wavy Hair: Don’t expect a polished look unless you flat iron. Embrace your natural waves. Apply product, brush, diffuse and comb or use fingers to style.

Commonly Asked Questions:
Despite what most think, long pixie cuts are actually high maintenance. Not only are you looking at frequent trips to the salon to avoid an awkward grow-out, you are also adding much more time to your get-ready routine. You’re less likely to achieve easy volume and effortless texture with shorter hairstyles without some sort of styling.
There is a specific pixie cut to match each face shape and long pixies are best for round faces. Using sharp angles around the perimeter and long side-swept bangs is ideal. This long face-framing compliments rounder face shapes.
Long pixies compliment thin hair well. Leaving more length with shorter layers at the crown gives the appearance of thicker hair. Short layers are great for finer hair and volume but when losing length it can make the perimeter more sparse in an unflattering way. Long pixies work best to counteract those concerns.
With thicker hair, you should probably turn to a shorter pixie rather than a long one. The extra length with a long pixie may hinder being able to take out that extra bulk and can create an unflattering mushroom or helmet shape.
Pixie cuts, even long ones, are shorter than bobs. They taper very short at the hairline rather than being stacked layers. Bobs appear rounder and sleeker, normally with internal layering. Pixies have more texture with shorter visible layers.
