💡 Key Things to Know First

  • Find a stylist who works well with a razor.
  • Ask for a razor cut to soften the edges so it doesn’t look too boyish.
  • It’s a great choice if you want to highlight your eyes.
  • It requires frequent cuts to maintain, especially on thicker hair. Book an appointment every six to 12 weeks.

#1: Long Shagged Pixie with Choppy Bangs

When looking for a new short haircut, try a long shagged pixie with choppy bangs to add some edge to your look. The razored layers in the cut help take some weight out of a shaggy pixie cut for thick hair. Pair this cut with a textured pomade to be able to create piece-y movement and add some volume to this pixie cut.

#2: Long Tousled Pixie Shag with Short Layers

If you want to look edgy but not messy, consider a shaggy long pixie cut. This punk rock style is one of the trendiest of the season and looks good quickly styled with just a bit of wax. As a stylist, I prefer to cut this with a razor but not every client is a candidate, so ask your stylist if it’s an option for you!

#3: Short Bangs on a Mini Wavy Mullet

If you’ve been thinking about going shorter, consider a long shaggy pixie with bangs. If you feel like a cut such as this is too edgy, keep in mind that it can really be customized for each client. Especially with the way that it’s layered and the fringe in the front. This is a low-maintenance haircut as far as styling. But, you will need to be in the salon getting a cut about every 6 weeks in order for this to maintain its proper shape.

The modern pixie mullet is one of the biggest hair trends right now. I have clients with thin hair that want to try this cut but don’t want it to look too limp and wispy. I tell my clients as long as they blow dry in a texture spray and style with wax, you won’t be worried about it.

#5: Soft Tousled Pixie Shag Cut on Straight Hair

Try the retro-modern soft tousled pixie shag cut on straight hair. A long shaggy pixie cut incorporates short top layers into shaggy sides and a mullet back. It’s truly a trendy take on a pixie. Keep in mind, when styling your hair, that the finish should be piece-y but not too fluffy. The top layers will give you some pop and texture but the profile should be closer to your head shape. You’ll want to utilize a texture paste for separation.

#6: Long Pixie with Textured Fringe and Face-Framing Layers

Wolf cuts are all the rage and can be flattering for a myriad of people with just a bit of alteration to the cut. I recently had a client who thought she couldn’t pull this off because she had a round face. That simply isn’t true. By keeping the cut a bit longer and opting for a bit more of a curtain bang, you create a great style for fuller faces.

#7: Short Golden Pink Hair with Messy Shagged Layers

Whether you have textured or fine hair, the shaggy pixie is a versatile cut for women. Because this cut works on all hair types, this is a very popular cut with a lot of my clients. This haircut has a bit of an edge, but if you blow dry it smooth with a brush and some shine serum, it can also look sleek.

If trendy is what you’re looking for, the shaggy pixie bob haircut is what I’m constantly being asked for. This haircut is a combination of the bob and the pixie with a lot of feathered layers. The thing that I like the most about this haircut is how soft everything is. Making it a great first haircut for anyone who’s hesitant about going shorter.

#11: Razored Layers with Side Part Bangs

Try the modern style of razored layers with side-part bangs. Crop off your hair and enjoy easier manageability and a trendier shape. Shaggy pixie cuts for fine hair should be styled flat with wispy ends. This will make the most of your thin strands. Straight hair will work wonderfully for texture and the side part adds style. Take the leap into shorter hair and I think you’ll laove it.

A long pixie with shaggy jagged layers is the perfect mix of a pixie and a short shag cut. Start the cut with choppy micro bangs as your guide. Then, the layers become gradually longer towards the bottom. This cut is great for wash-and-go or to style out with some loose curls. Use a piecing cream for added texture and style.

#14: Layered Bixie with Bangs and Waves

A layered bixie with bangs and waves is an easy style that you should consider. If you want to embrace your natural wavy locks, overall layering will bring them out. Your hairstylist might want to use a feather razor to cut your shape and this will create more dimension. Try air-drying your short hairstyle to achieve a flat shape that is on trend.
