1) Shaggy Pixie With A Mullet
The ultimate chic look! This hairstyle is a fashionable blend of a pixie cut and a mullet. The look combines the short pixie hair with the signature longer length at the back.

2) Edgy Cropped Silver Pixie
For an exposed neck and ears, this hairstyle is the best. It is very suitable for slender faces and will enhance your cheekbones. Paler colors like silver and pearl blonde will look very beautiful in this simple yet cool hairstyle. You can have styling liberty and add spikes to it as well.
3) Mid-length Undercut Pixie
A very modern look indeed! This hairstyle sports closely cut sides that slowly build up towards the high volume on the top. It's suitable for you if you want a mid-length. Thick and coarse hair is very well suited for this haircut, though thin hair can also be styled with this cut to create the illusion of volume.
4) Textured Tousled Pixie
This cool hairstyle’s tousled look adds a nice touch of unrestrained personality to your look. The uneven lengths of the hair at different angles give your hair a nice texture. Instead of lying flat, it creates a modern, messy look. Because it uses the natural flow of your hair, it is very easy to style.
5) Pixie Cut With A Quiff
This mature look is the ultimate fit for a nice, clean look. The quiff at the front provides coverage for the scalp area and is a very confident look to go for. This cut will enhance your forehead and will give your face a bold, stern, and stylish look.
6) Wavy Pixie
Ideal for those with mid-length hair, its layered look and uneven front will fall nicely around your face, giving prominence to your chin. The softly covered forehead will nicely accentuate your eyes and give your face a good shape.
7) Super Wispy Pixie
This cut relies on layers and a feathered look to create a shard-like effect. Removing weight from the ends will give a nice, airy look. Soft layering can give your hair natural volume and texture. It enhances your facial features very nicely and will give you a rock and roll aesthetic.
8) Pixie Bob
A combination of pixie and the classic bob hairstyle, this cut is often termed “bixie”. It is a nice way to add volume and texture to thinning hair. It gives rise to a beautiful silhouette, which can eventually be grown into a full bob as well.
9) Stylish Blonde Pixie
This elegant hairstyle is one of the best ones for blonde hair. It complements the light shade of the hair and falls softly to one side of your face. This hairstyle is usually very easy to maintain, and when done right, it just requires a few brushes with a comb to be kept intact.
10) Grey Wispy Pixie
A softer version of the super wispy pixie, this look uses the same technique but is a little less rigid. Adding a soft side fringe in the front will soften the eyes and brow area. The shape of this cut will provide a complementary look if you have chiseled features, balancing them with softness. You can even style your fringe by sweeping it to the side or by putting it up to have a nice, clean forehead.
11) Spikey Pixie
This rocky hairstyle is the perfect recipe for an outlandish soul! Being above 50 does not mean that youthfulness and energy have to be toned down. If anything, it's a time to express oneself even more. This look will give you exactly that. Using intentionally sharp vertical ends, this modern hairstyle will lift your hair, as well as your energy!
12) Asymmetrical Side-Swept Pixie
Life is asymmetrical, and as a reflection of all the asymmetries that made you who you are, so is this hairstyle. The look seamlessly blends different lengths through layering, creating an airy, dramatic sweep on one side. Flaunt life's imperfections with this rule-defying look.
13) French Textured Cropped Pixie
This look is a more subtle take on the pixie hairstyle. Creating a more prominent shape for the face by leaving the sides a little longer than the middle, it gives a more feminine look. This creates a lived-in frame for the face, nicely falling around the features.
14) Curly Side-Swept Pixie (Golden)
Coming with a bolder look on the wavy side-swept hairstyle, this look sports a sharp undercut on the opposite side of the sweep and heavy curls. It has a more dramatic effect because of the high contrast, shifting the focus towards the side fringe even more. The striking golden color is a very nice way to add shine to the curly locks.
15) Wedged Side Swept Pixie
A very soft variant of the pixie cut! It enhances the shape of your neck by adding the steep layered cut towards the nape that is the signature of the wedged haircut. This creates an illusion of voluminous hair, even if your hair is naturally fine. You can style the side fringe by keeping it straight and wavy, or by curling it to the side with blow-drying.
16) Buzz Cut Pixie
A very confident look for women who want nothing to hide! This extremely exposed hairstyle is very low maintenance because the hair is “buzzed” so close to the head. When done right, it will enhance the shape of the neck and put a nice focus on your ears and nape as well. It is ideal for someone who wants to show off a nice head shape and wear their confidence like a crown.
17) Super Cropped Pixie With Tapered Sides
A modern and sophisticated look for individuals who like everything clean and easy to maintain. This simple look has a controlled vibe and a balanced look. It uses calculated lines to give a nice frame to the face. Being very low maintenance, it’s perfect for women who embrace the extraordinariness of the ordinary.
18) Wavy Undercut Pixie
This stylish look is a perfect blend of a closely shaved undercut and long wavy hair on top. It creates a very striking look by using stark contrast. This cut will give you a nice build-up towards the crown. You can style your hair with a mid-part to create a sleek, symmetrical frame for your face, or you can create a side sweep by doing a soft side parting.
19) Soft Sweeping Fringe Pixie
This look is characterized by its soft fringe that will give your eyes a tender look. It’s best if you have naturally soft hair. Following the flow of your hair, it will soften your facial features by giving a nice round frame to it while creating volume with proper layering.
20) Pixie Afro
An absolutely gorgeous fit for women who have high-density hair with coarse texture. This look makes the intense curls very easy to maintain and will give your face a sharp, angled look. It's a very modern style that blends a slight undercut with gorgeous long curly locks.
21) Classic Salt And Pepper Pixie
This look is the best way to utilise the ageing silver hair for creating a fantastic color gradient of grey. Its name is a play on words for the classic blend of white and black to create a cool, unique pixie by using feathering and layering. You can get a longer length using the same technique, or get a shorter, cropped version as well.
22) Sporty Highlighted Pixie
If you are one for colors, this unique pixie will be a nice way to highlight your energetic and colorful personality! This style is tapered at the sides, enhancing the volume on the crown. The highlights on the uneven ends give a very eye-catching look to the otherwise grey hair. The lived-in style and the slightly exposed forehead highlight not just the ends, but your eyes and cheekbones as well.
23) Slicked Back Pixie
A basic yet classy look! A simple sweep back of the hair will give you a good, professional look. This hairstyle is completely clear of the face, putting intense emphasis on the facial features. It's one of the best hairstyles for formal occasions or a bold daily life statement. You can add an undercut to give a more dramatic effect, or keep it even and simple.
24) Curly Pixie
A bouncy hairstyle for bouncy individuals! This youthful hairstyle relies on proper layering to avoid the stacking of the curls unnaturally. The cut uses the built-in volume and texture of curly hair to create a vibrant and easily maintained hairstyle.
25) Pixie Hawk
An undeniable head-turner! This look is a hybrid of the pixie short hair at the sides and the classic mohawk characterized by the strip of hair running along the centre. An edgy hairstyle, it is a bold personality statement that tests the boundaries of convention.
