Yes, pixie looks pretty and practical. But a playful version of it will do well for that much-needed change. From piecey layers and shaggy length to wispy ends and an edgy fringe, the wixie adds a stylish spin to the basic crop. Simply put, predictability blurs when you sport a wixie that makes one pause and admire your edgy persona!
Scroll to discover some fabulous wixie hairdos that will add a rockstar-ish vibe to your daily look.
1) Fluid Movement Wixie
If keeping the look airy and fuss-free is your prime style concern, this wixie look offers that light look and feel. The cut appears fluid and fashionable with feathery choppy strands and a longer nape.
Popular hair expert Sal Salcedo vouches for this look over a regular pixie to show off your fashion-forward side.
2) Pillow Contoured Wixie
A contoured look doesn’t necessarily translate to a structured, poker-straight style. Soft, voluminous choppy strands can have that sculptural finish, paired with loads of movement. Show off a pillow-contoured wixie that looks all glam with its curvy, piecey sides. It is ideal for a mane that could do with some bounce.
3) Forward-Swept Brow-Fringe Wixie
This style shows off that lived-in hair vibe. Short, piecey layers double up the casual glam pretty organically. The longer fringe highlights the facial features and keeps the style looking contemporary.
Hair stylist Jo Robertson says highlighting this style with much-loved shades like classic blonde or ice platinum will keep the strands separated and shiny.
4) Pointed Frame Wixie
A fine blend of airy meets structured, pointed-frame pixie keeps the strands around the crown light and pointed at the ends. For a flattered finish, show off a side parting perfected with gel or mousse. Perfecting your chic casual avatar with this hairdo guarantees compliments!
5) Mermaid Wixie Shag
Mastering this style is simpler than it appears! Ask the stylist to define the strands, featuring a piecey pixie with noticeable texture. Highlight the choppy locks with a shade that is dreamy and blue. The final look should mirror the sea, mythical-creature inspired!
6) Delicate Contour Crop
Soft feathered strands make a perfect choice to bring in youthful charm to your everyday look. A cropped wixie perfected with airy layers adds the required amount of softness and elegance. Keep a light, texture-improving mousse handy for keeping the contoured crop voluminous.
7) Cyberpunk Spiky Wixie
The spiky hair ruled the dot-com era. But it continues to be relevant in the contemporary styling sphere owing to its cool and vivacious finish. If outlandish is what you are known for, or you don’t mind experimenting with some spikes, this look is for you. Some matter paste, finger combing, and you will own the day!
8) Razor Baby Wixie
Cropped, razored locks give off a delicate and dimensional finish. Baby bangs keep the short mane textured and in-trend. This edgy hairdo looks especially flattering to the thin mane, adding visible bounce. Flair up the finish with a styling wax.
9) French Wixie
The Parisian charm is forever infectious. Mirror this timeless style sensibility with a French wixie that shows off a lovely undone texture. Separate the strands with a styling cream. This ever-graceful hairdo suits and complements both formal and casual looks.
10) Braid Accent Wixie
Something unusual - the layered bixie with a braid accent reflects this fashion phenomenon. Such unexpected detailing becomes a wow factor to everyday or occasional styling. Styling the longer bangs in outlandish braids is a great addition to the cropped cut!
11) Holographic Grid Silhouette
Futuristic style attracts or intimidates. But for all the right perspectives. The wixie featuring a fine blend of cropped meets piecey strands, enhanced with holographic highlights, screams unique. Allow the runway-inspired mane to steal the spotlight with monochrome outfits and a no-makeup makeup avatar.
12) Platinum Wolf Wixie
Wolf Wixie is suggested by stylists when your prime concern is adding volume to the chopped locks. Platinum shade highlights or balayage add to the glam quotient. Invest in a purple shampoo to retain the hue for months.
13) Ash Blonde Wixie
Ash blonde is a great color pick to reflect an elegant flair. Wispy pixie, aka wixie, gets a contemporary finish when defined with such highlights. Show off the dimensional appeal with a side parting and add some shine with a bit of pomade.
14) Curved Ridge Wixie
Curved ridge, as the name suggests, works wonders for adding a noticeable lift to lifeless locks. Wixie, full of bounce, adds a youthful and modern finish to your everyday style. This piecey wixie style needs no additional styling efforts. Keep the look unfussy and natural!
15) Sun-Kissed Curl Crop
Curls, when shaped and defined in a cropped wixie, look dimensional. Since curls have a natural bounce texture, the cropped finish balances the movement pretty organically. For style-forward appeal, highlights in a yellow shade transform the style into ‘just wow’!
16) Shadow Root Wixie
Note this hair philosophy to understand the color dynamics: darker roots reflect depth, and an airy finish takes off the bulk of your hair. The shadow root wixie reflects this styling rule fabulously. The tone, the texture, and the contrast sum up into a modern finish.
17) Layered Crest Shag
Flat crown no more. The layered shag adds the required lift to the thin mane. With sides neatly layered and nape reflecting an airy finish, the style gets a retro-modern appeal. For added bounce, volume-enriching mousse makes a quick hair styling hack.
18) Ear Framing Wixie
Cropped hair frames the face beautifully, including your ears. The piecey style gives a relaxed finish and allows for enough length to tuck the side locks behind the ear. The result? You get to flaunt a feminine, fuss-free modern panache!
19) Chiseled Halo Wixie
Defined layers have always been recommended by hair gurus. It adds dimension and structure to the mane. Now, the clean form is introduced to create a chiseled halo finish. The expert then suggests a wixie that matches your hair density.
20) Elongated Nape Flare
Does it look like a mohawk? Well, it is certainly inspired by the longer nape that the classic mohawk is loved for! The wixie cut with elongated nape flair is ideal for those who wish to retain some length for styling variations and have a penchant for rockstar-like panache!
21) Color-Block Wixie
A short mane gets the dimension and drama when perfected with a bold hue. When you are not committed to coloring the strand root-to-tip, color blocking offers a fashionable alternative. Chop the locks in a textured wixie and let the fringe, nape, and sides reflect a lovely contrasting shade!
22) Soft Winged Wixie
The relaxed finish is now in! Show off this contemporary style with a soft winged pixie, which gives off modern-elegance vibes. The soft wings around the sides and nape are perfect for reflecting your preference for undone over polished flair.
23) Outward Flip Crop
This style is retro-defined but wins the ‘fuss-free’ favorite tag in a contemporary styling scenario. The outward flipped ends double up the drama and glam factor of the wixie. Blow-dry using a round brush to perfect the bent ends.
24) Flared Nape Wixie
A good amount of length at the nape contributes to the texture and bounce. Plus, it adds to the edgy, undone, or ‘intentionally messy’ flair. A flared nape wixie is everything you need when making a statement is paramount. Run some shine cream through the strands for gloss and glamor!
25) Sleek Grunge Wixie
Modern-diva grunge - it’s a subtler take on the messy or shaggy locks, but the edge remains constant! Show off the subtle layers with a wixie that reflects a just-out-of-bed finish pretty naturally. Trimming every 2 months will retain the edgy flair!
