5. The Side-Swept Pixie
Sweeping your pixie to one side creates a lovely softness and movement. It’s a super versatile way to style a pixie, working for many different lengths. It can look elegant or casual depending on how you style it. To achieve a good side-swept look, use a brush and a bit of hairspray to hold it in place.
4. The Tapered Pixie
A tapered pixie gets gradually shorter as it goes down the back of your neck. It gives a really clean, polished appearance. This style looks incredibly neat and chic. To keep the tapered look sharp, make sure you get regular trims at the nape of your neck.
3. The Layered Pixie
Adding layers to a pixie is a fantastic way to create volume and texture. Layers can make fine hair look fuller and give thicker hair some shape. This style works well for many hair types. A volumizing spray can help lift those layers and give your hair extra body.
2. The Classic 90s Pixie
Ah, the classic! This is the look we saw on so many icons in the 90s. It’s typically a bit longer on top with shorter sides and back, often styled with a little texture. Its timeless appeal is undeniable. To keep the classic shape, regular trims are key to maintain the proportions.
1. The Modern Textured Pixie
This is my top pick right now! The modern textured pixie takes the classic cut and adds lots of texture for movement and volume. It feels fresh and contemporary. It’s super adaptable and relatively easy to style. Using a styling paste or wax will help you create definition and piecey texture.
