50 Short Pixie Cuts for Your New Look

If there’s one word for short pixie cuts, it’s bold. As women, we often use our hair as a security blanket. The longer, the better. But since we have so many trendy options (undercuts, designs, shaved sides, pastel colors, etc.) why not go for a bolder haircut? You can always grow it out if tired of cropped locks!

Short haircuts can work for you in many ways. Here are 50 examples from the best hairstylists of Instagram:

1. Choppy Pixie. A platinum pixie always stands out with its cuteness. Let a few pieces hang longer in the front to keep it feminine.

2. Lavender Pixie. A really short crop means you can definitely show off that cute pair of glasses or sunglasses!

3. Extra-Short Gray Locks. As if going to a super short cut wasn’t enough, add in an all-over gray for extra pizzazz.

4. Curly Crop. Bleach-blonde pixies are perfect for warmer seasons. Add a little wave and you’re ready!

5. Bowl Cut Pixie. A blonde pixie that’s long up top and buzzed at the bottom is ultra edgy.

6. Iced Pixie Cut. A short blonde pixie looks even better when the blonde is brought to ice.

7. Fine Hair Pixie. Cropped pixies for fine hair have a way of fooling the world into thinking you actually have thicker strands.

8. Fading Blonde Cut. Haircuts with shaved back and sides still leave plenty of room for creativity, and a fading blonde color scheme on top of a shaggy finish is one of your options.

9. Pixie with Long Bangs. The perfectly crafted pixie is chic with body up front and a neat tapered nape.

10. Clippered Pixie. Side-swept bangs and a little length in front of the ears keep an otherwise edgy pixie soft and sweet.

11. Crop with Wispy Bangs. While crops with well-blended layers have the power to give hair a denser feel, a jaggy, thinned-out fringe brings in some lightness and directs attention to the eyes.

12. Dual-Tone Haircut. Reminiscent of Julie Andrews as Maria in the Sound of Music, this cute haircut is sweet, but it has a lot of character.

13. Parisian Style. Much like the coveted French bobs, gamine pixies thriving on natural textures and effortless styling give off that French-girl chic.

14. Buzzed Pixie. Let your hair do the talking with a bad-to-the-bone buzzed pixie.

15. Pixie with Lifted Crown. A short bottom doesn’t require much styling, leaving more time to build volume with longer pieces on the crown and create a flattering face frame with piece-y bangs.

16. Platinum Blonde Shaggy Pixie. Although many pixies come with a choppy finish, you are welcome to opt for a softer version where a shaggy look is made of wispy layers.

17. Rose Gold Messy Pixie. Don’t hesitate to use a bold pixie as a nice opportunity to experiment with hair colors, such as this dusty blush hue perfectly suitable for fair skin with cool undertones.

18. Thick Hair Pixie. A crop like this one will help you tame your plentiful locks.

19. Short Bangs Long Sides. This haircut is delivered with choppy baby bangs that add interest in the front and gradually get longer toward the sides letting the hair hug the face.

20. Icy Blonde Quiff. Shorter haircuts can be left with sufficient length for fancy styling, and this silver blonde style gets the max out of the hair’s dense texture and a few extra inches on the top.

21. Super Short Brown Crop. This super short haircut pulls out all the stops for a stylish new look.

22. Pixie with Sideburns. Hey, brunettes, check how bangin’ your crop could be if you try a similar pixie with bangs and sideburns!

23. Feathered Blonde Pixie. The short asymmetrical pixie, much shorter on one side than on the other, is a cool and eye-catching look.

24. Pixie with Contrast. This style comes with a teeny bit wavy texture and wispy layers, which give overall softness to the look, but it still seems sassy thanks to the razor-cut micro bangs and those sharp lines on the temples.

25. Wavy Pixie Shag. If you wonder whether stylists recommend pixies for wavy hair, the answer is yes! Just look at this shaggy texture on the sides and bouncy curls on the top to get utterly inspired.

26. Long Side Bangs Pixie. Not ready to lose your length? A pixie cut with long bangs and short sides can tick all the boxes. Keep locks long upfront but sweep them to the side to show your pretty eyes.

27. Smokey Gray Pixie. We can only guess how this style can look both bold and dreamy, but we do like the pearly feel invoked by the foggy shade of the closely cut sides.

28. Piece-y Champagne Blonde Pixie. This is a great example of the popular edgy cuts for thin hair — the top strands are layered to give better lift at the roots and pushed forward to create extra fullness in the front.

29. Bushy Chestnut Brown Pixie. Those sick and tired of fruitless efforts to tame their thick manes can crack the problem by getting a shaggy crop that will show off the hair density and fill it with beautiful texture.

30. Two-Tone Shaggy Pixie. If you are afraid that your strands will look scarce when the length is chopped off, add some depth to your style with a darker bottom and maximize the volume with tousled styling.

31. Pixie with Angled Sideburns. A uo of long bangs and short sides gives you room to twist, scrunch, or do whatever to the length on top.

32. Side-Parted Banged Pixie. Keep the bangs trimmed just above the eyes for a sweet style that’s as flirty as you are.

33. Smokey Blonde Crop. Don’t you love edgy short crops that completely open up the face and give it a little extra zhuzh with a bold contrasting shade?

34. Pixie with Voluminous Crown. Here, the sides and the nape are cut uber-short to set off the volume around the top built with the help of a greater length, smart layering, and spiky styling.

35. Chocolate Brown Pixie. This piece-y boyish crop is basically short yet intentionally misshapen to craft that grown-out feel we saw in the effortless pixie bobs sported by the ‘90s supermodels like Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista.

36. Undercut Pixie. Trying to find the perfect balance between chic and edgy? A disconnected pixie is your fit!

37. Neat Platinum Pixie. This clearly shaped, lavishly textured, and beautifully colored style can be your inspiration if you are after short crops for thick hair, as it will show off the density of your strands while debulking your hair.

38. Pixie with Face Framing. This haircut with side-swept layered bangs and piece-y sideburns uses the longer pieces to frame the face and create some focal points and wideness in the upper part to balance the elongated shape.

39. Blonde Pixie with Depth. These pictures show why color is sometimes a game-changer when we are talking about short crops — the darker tone at the roots of this frosted style creates depth and makes the texture pop while the cool shade of blonde perfectly chimes with the Nordic blue eyes.

40. Pixie with Buzz Cut. The intensely thinned-out strands of this icy blonde pixie are pulled to one side and coupled with a buzz cut to land a daring look with emphasized dimension and texture.

41. Feathered Pixie with Bangs. Although having plenty of feathered ends and angles looks edgy, this delicate style is rounded and complemented with a wispy finish to soften the mature facial features.

42. One-Length Crop. Another pixie with super-short length, this time in a stunning ginger. The perfect hairstyle for warm seasons!

43. Blonde Side-Parted Crop. A short blonde cut paired with voluminous waves equals complete cuteness!

44. Choppy Cut with Highlights. Getting highlights is another way of adding dimension to a short hairstyle, especially if your hair is fine and prone to lying flat without extra effort.

45. Grown-Out Brunette Pixie. Longer pixie variants look sweet and stylish while boasting softer shapes and ensuring low maintenance with fewer trims required to save the haircut from feeling scruffy.

46. Raven Black Pixie. Those who don’t know how to style short locks to get the most volume out of their layers should copy this classy look with well-defined and seriously lifted pieces throughout the crown.

47. White Pixie Cut. One way to make your bright short haircut stand out even more? A bold red lip or statement earrings.

48. Messy Pixie with Spikes. According to celebrity stylists, we’re seeing a comeback of bedhead short looks, so this cute cut with the hair sticking straight up in the middle has just nailed the trend.

49. Pixie Fauxhawk. From a pointed sideburn to a curved shape above the ear, everything in this clippered pixie says details.

50. Fade Pixie Haircut. Another take on the buzzed look, this one brings in a high fade for a dramatic effect.
