A trendy asymmetrical pixie cut is a hairstyle designed with one side shorter than the other. It’s an edgy upgrade to the classic pixie haircut.
Sylvia Barson, a hairstylist from Jackson, MI, shares her take on this cut, stating, “It’s a super trendy and edgy cut for women of all ages.”
Barson elaborates how vital it is to be sure when deciding on getting an asymmetrical short haircut, especially if you currently have long hair. “If you don’t like the length of the shorter side, the grow-out can be rough,” she says. Dedicate enough time with your hairdresser to discuss such matters.
Discussing the smallest of details does great wonders, especially with an asymmetrical cut. “If the sides aren’t enough of a difference, the style won’t appear asymmetrical,” she explains. “It will only look uneven.”
Pixies, like any other haircuts, demand styling. “It’s hard to make your hair look fine if not styled,” states Barson.
Pomade, wax, or cream-based products are easier to utilize when prepping your locks. These products give a good deal of texture and volume.

#1: Side-Swept Pixie Cut with Very Long Bangs
In my experience, a short asymmetrical pixie cut with long bangs is a great choice for older ladies. This timeless style will add texture and dimension to any look. The longer side-swept bangs lend a youthful vibe. It’s easy to maintain at home but needs regular trims around every four weeks to keep its shape. For extra volume and lift on top, consider using mousse or volumizing spray when styling! You’ll be sure to inspire other ladies to try a bold look, too.
#2: Side-Parted Asymmetric Long Pixie
Ask for a long asymmetrical side parted pixie. Talk to your stylist about your shape and hair texture before choosing pixie length. This will help to prevent going too short or having too much bulk in the crown area. You can soften your texture with a long disconnected pixie if you have thick or fine dense hair.
#3: Asymmetric Pixie with Long Side Bangs
The asymmetric pixie with long side bangs for ladies in their 50s is an incredibly stylish look. This cut features a textured, layered shape that flatters straight, fine hair types. To create this look, add layers around the face to emphasize volume and texture on top. It will enhance cheekbones and draw attention away from any wrinkles. I suggest asking your stylist to leave the sides longer than usual. This way, you can easily sweep them back off of your face while still maintaining a full-bodied effect.

A wavy asymmetrical pixie haircut is created with the use of a curling wand. If you have naturally curly hair, let it air dry with a leave-on curl amplifier. Ask your stylist to undercut the sides and back to create this easy-care haircut.
The long-length top is all you have to care for and makes this cut ideal for women on the go desiring an edgy haircut. Remember that asymmetrical pixie haircuts need trimming every four weeks to maintain their shape.

#6: Asymmetric Pixie with Side-Swept Bangs for Older Women with Fine Hair
When it comes to an asymmetrical pixie with side-swept bangs, you have to keep your fine hair in mind. I’d advise using a razor cut technique and texturizing the ends. This will help reduce any bulkiness and create movement throughout your style. Rather than using products like mousse or hairspray, add Powder Puff by Kevin Murphy to your hair routine. You can use it on the root area before styling. Not only does this provide grip but also adds volume without making strands feel heavy.
#7: Soft Blonde Side-Swept Pixie Cut
The best way to give a pixie cut a modern twist is to go for an asymmetrical shape. I suggest that the lengths on each side need to be different enough to show off the style. A soft sweeping fringe into the longer area gives balance. Plus, it works the shorter length to longer well.
