I’ve experimented with so many styles over the years, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned to help you find a look you love. Getting this cut can be a game-changer, making your morning routine so much easier. Let’s find the perfect way for you to rock a pixie cut!
Styling and Cutting Thick Pixie Hair
Okay, so now that we’re feeling good about the idea of a pixie, let’s talk about the actual cuts that work wonders for thick hair. Choosing the right style is key to making your thick pixie manageable and super stylish. I’ve found that certain cuts just handle volume better than others. Here are some of my go-to options, starting with a favorite for really thick hair.
12. Undercut Pixie
This is a fantastic option if you have a lot of hair and want to seriously reduce bulk. With an undercut, a section of hair underneath is buzzed short or completely shaved. This takes away a ton of weight, especially at the nape and sides. You can customize how much you undercut, making it subtle or dramatic. It gives you that cool, edgy vibe while making your thick hair feel so much lighter.
11. Textured Crop
Adding texture through layers is a magic trick for thick hair. A textured crop uses lots of short, choppy layers throughout the top and sides. This breaks up the density and adds movement. It’s a less structured look, perfect if you like a more casual, lived-in style. Just a little product and you can scrunch it for effortless cool.
10. Asymmetrical Pixie
An asymmetrical cut means one side is longer than the other. This works well for thick hair because the longer pieces can help balance the volume. You can sweep the longer side across your forehead or behind your ear. It adds an interesting shape and keeps your thick hair from looking too heavy all over. It feels very modern and chic.
9. Side Swept Bangs with a Pixie
Bangs are a great way to frame your face and manage thickness around your hairline. Side-swept bangs are perfect for thick hair because they don’t require cutting straight across a lot of volume. Your stylist can thin them slightly so they lay nicely. Styling side-swept bangs is usually pretty easy – just a quick blow-dry or a little product to keep them in place.
