4. Undercut Pixie Shag. Cropped locks become boho-chic when the top strands are made piece-y.

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with the same hairdo. One day we love it and show it off, but the next day we envy our friend with perfect locks and wish we had her mane. Those of us who love short choppy hair will be relieved to know there are at least 50 styles out there to try.

Whether you want a minimalistic pixie, a shag to flatter your wavy hair, or something in between, there are cool ideas for everyone.

1. Straight Undercut Bixie with Flyaways. Welcome to the club of platinum pixies! We enjoy the manageable length and side-swept bangs we can run our fingers through.

2. Shattered Stacked Sliced Bob. Face-framing pieces of this beautiful bob will make you look like a babe.

3. Edgy Pixie with Shaved Nape. The pretty and the edgy come together for this sliced rose gold pixie.

4. Undercut Pixie Shag. Cropped locks become boho-chic when the top strands are made piece-y.

5. Soft Bixie with Sticking-Out Layers. A disconnected crop doesn’t have to look harsh. Maintain your soft and sweet self by flaunting a mix of long and cropped locks with highlighted longer pieces.

6. Crisp Neck-Length Wolf Shag. Try a shaggy coif that looks messy-cute. Dress it up by adding a headband one day or parting bangs to the side with a small bobby pin for another day.

7. Jaw-Length Stacked Bob. Cropped straight strands have their own special charm. Ask your stylist for aninverted bob and enjoy its perks: the cute shape, feathered layers, beautiful texture, and added volume.

8. Bedhead Bixie with Volume. The pixie with volume maintains its chicness with tousled waves.

9. Asymmetric Sliced Pixie with Undercut. Insert a few highlights, make a deep part, and give it a little undercut for an edgy look.

10. Textured Mullet to Make a Statement. Take a cue from singer Katy Perry and mimic her platinum blonde pixie.

11. Messy Outgrown Pixie with a Highlighted Fringe. This long bedhead pixie is beautifully complemented with a shaggy brow-skimming fringe made a bit airier and more eye-catching by the color lifted at the very tips.

12. Uneven Bixie Shag. Messy coifs are best for a standout look. Besides, if you are brave enough to dye your hair, it will only do good for your new asymmetric style. We suggest the trending cherry and mahogany hues!

13. Two-Tier Bixie with Butterfly Layers. Sliced doesn’t always equal chunky, and this effortless bixie is nicely thinned-out and accentuated with highlights to deliver easy lift at the roots, movement around the ends, and a wispy feel all around.

14. Edgy Mahogany Brown Bixie. This sassy style combines the shape of a bob crop with the texture of a pixie to deliver plenty of body and volume supplemented with greater freedom in styling.

15. Icy Pixie with Spiky Layers and Undercut. This picture shows that buzzed sides and back can be coupled with layered and sliced top pieces to turn regular crops into edgy coifs.

16. Two-Tier Pixie with a Mix of Highlights. Apart from volume around the crown, this blonde pixie boasts tons of texture built by the sliced-out tips and plenty of depth created by the silver and beige insertions.

17. Graduated Pearl Blonde Bixie. We like how this massive disconnection breaks the flow of the creamy blonde tones from top to bottom and how the buzzed section at the nape makes the look even edgier.

18. Blonde Top, Brunette Bottom. Looking at this feathery crop, you can’t but agree that adding contrasting colors into sliced crops translates into more dimensional looks and better definition for your razored pieces.

19. Wet Look Waves. This honey-colored shag with a lengthy fringe is made of razor-cut strands and sparingly permed waves which produce texture galore and are ready for flirty wet-look styling.

20. Bold Brushed-Forward Pixie. Here is another take on bold crops with a high-contrast color scheme, and it also brings depth into the style and creates a canvas for the texture and movement to shine out.

21. Stacked Bob with Long Front Pieces. If you have waves, curls, or any other kind of texture, a shaggy look will flatter you.

22. Bixie with Long See-Through Bangs. This platinum blonde pixie accommodates oversized bangs, but in fact they are easy to put away from the face and style in a less provocative way.

23. Feathered Messy French Crop. There is always something very Parisian about carefree bangs, and the fun wavy finish along with elongated sideburns just enhance this “French-girl” flair.

24. Side-Swept Bob Shag. Curled or straight, this textured bob has all the fun and sass included!

25. Tapered Bixie with Sliced Top. Though this coif has a tomboyish and cheeky look, if you choose your accessories and outfit right, it will appear very elegant and sophisticated.

26. Thick Razored Jaggy Pixie. For a trendy pixie, bring the length up just below the ears, razor-cut the strands, and feather out the back. Leave the side-swept bangs uneven.

27. Polished Ginger Pixie with Jaggy Bangs. This bright crop is for those ladies who have passionate nature. If you’ve got the energy you can’t hide from the world, it’s time to get this eye-catching layered pixie.

28. Wispy Pixie with Bangs Swept to One Side. Textured doesn’t always mean chunky or jagged, so you are free to ask for a finer finish and get an undone and voluminous yet soft look like this.

29. Smoothed Chestnut Brown Bob. Although modern crops often have top strands sticking out in all directions, this one provides you with a much smoother option.

30. Textured Brunette Crop. This is a great example of a transition from a pixie to a mullet that keeps the coarse locks shaped and tamed yet gives them a chance to radiate their natural texture.

31. Elegant Long Tapered Pixie. Do you still think that all crops look tomboyish? This feminine pixie that frames the face flatteringly and gives the locks a nice lift proves otherwise.

32. Bronzed Mini Shag with a Wispy Fringe. While this light metallic shade is a perfect fit for the peachy skin and green eyes of the girl, the thinned-out fringe debulks the top and balances out the triangular face.

33. Straight Messy Bixie with Flyaways. Fluff and scrunch your way through to this dynamic layered coif.

34. Classy Crop with Hair Swept Forward. This is another proof that messy coifs can be styled in many cool ways, such as blending crown tresses with a brow-grazing fringe.

35. Polished Rounded Bob. Sliced cropped layers for a bob with bangs mean you can flaunt this style at work or get flirty on a night out.

36. Sliced Pixie with Longer Top. If your hair is not long and you just want a dramatic change, texturize the top and push bangs forward.

37. Bronde Piece-y Bob with Highlights. This messy piece-y bob has all the sass needed to conquer your day. The bright blonde balayage adds to the beauty.

38. Rooty Blonde Bob with Soft Face Framing. This style feels really airy due to the lift at the roots, dreamy platinum shade, and thinned-out ends, but it also softens the face by enveloping it with a veil of bangs and side layers.

39. Razored Bixie with Golden Blonde Highlights. Textured crops with layers stacked at the nape are strongly recommended for fine locks, as they create a buildup of natural volume and enhance the curve of the head.

40. Bedhead Bob with Waves. A bedhead has never looked better for neck-length strands – layers and waves are added to complete the messy look.

41. Rounded Bob for Straight Hair. This cute straight bob combines well-blended exterior layers in the front with more defined layers stacked in the back and gains dimension with a lived-in blonde balayage.

42. Side-Parted Pixie Bob with Accents. This soft chocolate style feels lightweight and dynamic due to the subtle layers and feathered ends, but it retains much of the body with the layering shifted toward the bottom.

43. Thick Hair Curls with Layers. Show off your mane with a layered bob designed for wavy curls.

44. Shattered Pixie Bob. The sass of a pixie, the chicness of a bob. Pick and pull locks to texturize for extra customization.

45. Spiky Pixie with Honey Blonde Highlights. This fun crop gains dimension and texture not only through layering and styling but also with the coloring that intensifies both spikiness and boldness.

46. Showy Vanilla Blonde Chop with a Contrast. While the strikingly dark roots of this exquisite coif give depth and contrast to the bright blonde, the black nape undercut brings in some cheekiness.

47. Blonde Shaggy Bixie. If you’re not quite ready to lose your length, consider a bold shaggy crop such as this one that brings the long length forward and to the sides, but still keeps locks off the neck.

48. Spiky Pixie with Frosted Tips. Invoke Tinkerbell’s energy and perky sass with a razored pixie polished off with highlights.

49. Silver Bixie with Dark Underneath. Adopt a messy highlighted bob and you’re the next bold babe on the block.

50. White Blonde Undercut Pixie. Transitioning from your current look to a standout pixie is sure to boost your confidence level.

So, now that you know how to rock your statement crop, which style will you choose? Remember the finishing touch to any coif is to own it with confidence!
