Classic Pixie Cut
The classic pixie cut remains a favorite among short haircuts for women over 50 due to its elegance and simplicity. This style, featuring short back and sides with a slightly longer top, enhances facial features and suits almost every face shape. Ideal for those with fine hair seeking a voluminous effect.
Care Tips: Regular trims are essential to maintain the shape of the pixie. Use a volumizing shampoo and light hold texture cream for styling. Brands like Aveda and Bumble and bumble offer excellent products for short styles.
Textured Pixie for Volume
Textured layers add volume and dynamism to a pixie haircut, making it perfect for women over 50 with thin or fine hair. The added layers can create depth and movement, making the hair appear thicker.
Care Tips: Use a texturizing paste or wax to define layers and add volume. Products from TIGI or Moroccan Oil are highly recommended for keeping the texture without weighing down the hair.
Pixie with Long Bangs
A pixie cut with long bangs offers a versatile and youthful look that can soften the facial features, especially suitable for women with longer face shapes.
Care Tips: Styling bangs with a light touch of hairspray, such as L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin, will keep them in place without stiffness. Bangs require frequent trims to maintain their ideal length.
Asymmetrical Pixie Cut
An asymmetrical pixie cut offers a modern twist that can highlight your best features by varying the length on either side of the face. It’s particularly flattering for women with oval or heart-shaped faces.
Care Tips: Maintaining an asymmetrical cut requires regular salon visits to keep the shape precise. Use a lightweight styling gel, like Kenra’s Styling Gel, for a sleek finish.
Pixie Cut for Curly Hair
Embrace your curls with a pixie cut designed for curly hair, which can drastically reduce styling time while showcasing natural texture. This style is excellent for women with naturally curly or wavy hair.
Care Tips: Keep curls hydrated and defined with curl-enhancing products such as Shea Moisture’s Curl Enhancing Smoothie. Avoid over-drying by limiting heat styling.
Spiky Pixie Cut
For those who prefer a bold look, the spiky pixie cut is both edgy and stylish. This variant works well for women who enjoy a modern, somewhat rebellious appearance.
