November 22, 2012
“ The pixie haircut is still on trend and is the perfect way to stand out in the crowd. Not all pixies are created equal, so really take time looking at pictures and styles for subtle differences to get a customized pixie that is perfect for you. Some pixies are divinely feminine while others are extremely edgy or messy. Don’t forget about your hair color to take your hairstyle to a whole new level. Be inspired!
Razored EdgeThis textured pixie is kept soft and feminine with a slight edge. Hair has slightly ragged edges with long wispy bangs that blend into razored side burns. Hair follows that wispy edge up and around the ears with a long, feathered nape. Short layers at the crown help add shape and volume.
How to Style:
1. Use your fingers to brush bangs to the side and then rough up with hands while you blow dry. Your blow drying skills don’t have to be perfect because you want a slightly messy result.
2. When hair is dry, grab your favorite pomade or wax hair product and pinch the ends of bangs and sideburns to create a pointed/piecey look.
3. Use more product to rough up the crown to create shape and volume.
Recommended Products:
Kerastase Nacre is a hair wax from their Nutritive line. The entire line is great at adding nutrients to your hair, just from styling! Nacre is a very light wax that will help add volume, shape and texture to your short pixie.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Side bangs are great at off setting long foreheads. Heart shaped faces will be framed fabulously with the almost chin grazing side burns.
Tips:
Short pixie cuts are great for showing off cute stud earrings, or any earring for that matter. Keep hair trimmed around the ears to really make them stand out.
Pixie With SpikesThis super short pixie is edgy and chic. The fringe is kept extremely short with textured ends. The same ragged texture is echoed throughout the entire haircut that keeps the look blended and adds interest. Spiking up the top few layers adds a fun, trendy flair.
How to Style:
1. Use your fingers or a comb to arrange hair into place right out of the shower. Pull your bangs to the front and then lightly brush to the side. Lay your hair forward around the temples and then smooth the rest of the hair back and flat toward the nape.
2. Once you have your hair arranged and organize, you can allow hair to air dry or blow dry.
3. When your locks are completely dry, go in with your favorite styling products to polish off edges and spike up the top. Use your fingers to style for the most natural look.
Recommended Products:
Use a combo of products for this spiky hairstyle. Start with Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Paste to add texture and spikes then hold it in place with Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Hairspray.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
This haircut is very edgy so harder angled faces with square lines should stay away from this particular pixie hairstyle. Medium thickness hair that is straight or slightly wavy can pull this off. Just make sure your hair isn’t too straight that it won’t lay down flat.
Tips:
Cowlicks and hair growth patterns make a huge impact on all haircuts, but especially with pixie haircuts. Make sure your hair stylist examines your hair and scalp closely to create the best short haircut for you.
Sugar PixieThis longer and softer version of a pixie almost looks like cotton candy. The pale blonde color has a soft pinky hue that adds depth and dimension. This particular pixie haircut is cut short around the ears but left slightly longer and soft around the rest of the head and perimeter.
How to Style:
1. This softer styled pixie can be easily achieved with a small brush and a blow dryer. Really use the tools to direct hair to the side for that side-swept effect.
2. After you have dried your entire head of hair, go back in with a light hair cream to break up and show off your fun layers.
Recommended Products:
Use a light cream instead of a sticky pomade or wax to keep your pixie looking soft. Try Grooming Cream by Privé for that perfect defining effect.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
All face shapes can be complimented with this soft hairstyle. The bangs help balance out vertically shaped faces and the sideburns help add shape to round or square shaped faces. Straight to wavy hair that is medium to thick will work great for this pixie.
Tips:
Not all pixies have to be an inch long. When hair is left longer you can part it to the side and have more styling options.
Coiled CurlsThis very naturally styled pixie shows that kinky curls can rock a short hairstyle. Fun tiny curls are piled on top for volume and then cascade down softly on the forehead.
How to Style:
1. Apply frizz-controlling products for curly hair and let it air dry.
2. If you need to, attach your diffuser to your blow dryer and dry on medium heat.
Recommended Products:
For this extreme hair texture ,use something like Kinky Curling Cream by Hair Rules. Just apply, comb through and scrunch up your curls for a frizz-free day.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Round shaped faces would probably be best for this top-heavy pixie. Heart shaped faces would be a close second. Extremely curly hair with medium thickness is best for this look.
Tips:
Sometimes short haircuts can be harder to maintain, but in this case the natural hair is extremely high maintenance so a short haircut is best.
Grown Out PixieThis adorable hairstyle is a great goal for people growing their pixie out. The nape is kept short and tapered and blended into longer layers on top while gorgeous long side bangs are the highlight in front.
How to Style:
1. Grab a small round brush and use your blow dryer to add volume to the back layers and sleekness to the front.
2. Part hair to the side and run your flat iron through after hair is dry if you need to.
3. Use a light shine spray to enhance your color and style.
Recommended Products:
Privé has a product called Shine Spray that speaks for itself. Put a few spritzes on wet or dry hair for an amazing mirror-like finish.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
All face shapes can rock this cute hairstyle. Try this out if you have naturally straight or wavy hair with thin to thick texture.
Tips:
Don’t forget to play up your color even with a short haircut. Color helps take your hair to the next level whether you are adding highlights, lowlights, or all over color. Use every element you can to make your hair flatter you and make you look your best.
Pixie ShagThe amazing amount of texture in this pixie creates a fabulous shag-like style. The entire cut is achieved with a razor for that fun zig zag texture.
How to Style:
This is a really short pixie so drying and styling will be a breeze.
1. Direct your bangs forward and blow dry your entire head of hair.
2. Piece in your favorite pomade for definition and hold.
Recommended Products:
Alterna Bamboo Style has an Ultra-Hold Sculpting Clay that is applied effortlessly and will keep your texture all day.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Oval faces would look best with these longer bangs. Thin to thick hair that is wavy are great ingredients for this hair recipe.
Tips:
Short hair is often extremely healthy, but make sure you take care of it with the proper hydrating and protein-adding products.
Vintage CurlsAnother fabulous example of a naturally curly pixie! Hair is cropped short around the ears and neck but left soft around the forehead. Curls are left so natural and soft that the result is purely angelic.
How to Style:
1. Use your fingers to apply curling cream or mousse, then scrunch it into hair with your hands to help encourage the curls.
2. Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser to remove moisture without adding frizz.
Recommended Products:
It’s always a good idea to use a product that helps hydrate your hair. Try Moroccan Oil Curl Control Cream for Curly and Wavy Hair. Your tresses will look and feel amazingly hydrated while keeping the curls in place.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
A heart shaped face would be absolutely stunning with this angelic curly pixie. Fine textured hair that is naturally curly will shine with this short hairstyle.
Tips:
Curly hair should be left alone after styling. The more you touch your curls, the more your hair may frizz. Try to have the “set it and forget it” mentality when dealing with curls.
Raging RedHot and spicy red hues make this pixie incredibly beautiful. The hair is left fuller and thicker on top and tapered around the forehead, ears and neck. Pushing hair forward adds tons of volume and razored ends play up the edgy texture.
How to Style:
1. Towel your hair out of the shower and then grab your blow dryer.
2. Use your fingers to blow dry your hair forward, really pushing hair from the back towards the front to create volume.
3. Flick bangs to the side to create a slanted style around the face.
4. Use your favorite texturizing and styling products to finish off your look.
Recommended Products:
Hair Play Clay Crème is an awesome sculpting product by KMS California. Use it to rough up the roots of the hair for volume and pinch onto the ends of hair for texture and whimsy.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Heart shaped faces will shine with this cool pixie haircut but all face shapes can rock this look. Thick hair is best that has minimal to no wave.
Tips:
Don’t forget to change up your makeup when you make a huge change with your hair color. Different colors will flatter and complement you depending on your hair’s color.
Peacock PixieThis cute short haircut stands out with a fun splash of color and feathered splays of hair. The neck area is extremely short and tapered and blends up into almost a faux hawk type cut on the top.
How to Style:
1. Blow-dry your hair forward.
2. When hair is dry, go in with your favorite piecing product to add some grit and texture to the look.
Recommended Products:
Use a light wax for styling this hairstyle. Try Garnier Fructis Style Finishing Paste. It has a 24 hour hold guarantee and is designed to show off the layers and texture in your haircut.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
All face shapes would look beautiful in this peacock inspired pixie. Thin to thick hair that is on the straight side with a slight bend is best.
Tips:
Avoid highlighting or accent colors on the back of a pixie. The result will be tiger or leopard like. Keep chunks of color or highlights within the bangs or top of the head for the most natural and flattering look.
Cinnamon CurlsThis spicy colored pixie is kept longer around the nape and ears making this cut extremely soft and feminine. Curly hair is shown off beautifully in this short pixie. The curls help frame the face and keeps styling down to a minimum.
How to Style:
1. Apply your favorite curling products and comb through wet hair.
2. Use your hands to scrunch up the curls to the head.
3. Let your hair dry or diffuse.
Recommended Products:
Use a quick and easy curl spray like Curl Shaping Spray Gel from Garnier Fructis. Spray in wet, scrunch and let dry.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
All face shapes will be able to wear this soft and curly hairstyle. Just make sure your natural curls are on the medium to soft side with thin to thick texture.
Tips:
Consider your styling habits before cutting hair this short. Do you like wearing your hair naturally curly or do you prefer blow drying and straightening it every day? A cut like this minimizes versatility, so consider which way you would wear your curly hair most before taking the plunge.
Platinum IceThis snowy white pixie exudes glamour and fashion. Side-swept bangs are echoed throughout the haircut for a fabulous swept over hairstyle. The length is tapered around the ears but still has some softness. The entire hairstyle has soft lines with no hard edges that make this fluffy cut even more incredible.
How to Style:
This pixie is an easy two-step process.
1. Blow dry hair to the side with your fingers.
2. Finish your platinum pixie off with a flexible pomade or light spray.
Recommended Products:
This pixie doesn’t require a cement holding gel. Instead, opt for a soft pomade that will help break up and show off your texture like Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Paste. Just a tiny dab rubbed on your fingers will do the trick.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
All face shapes can rock this look. Long, oval faces will wear it especially well due to the full bangs in front. Medium to thick hair that is on the straight to wavy side naturally will be able to carry off this platinum pixie.
Tips:
You always want to be aware of your skin tone when going for a color this light. Also consider lightening your brows if needed or changing up your makeup routine.
Feathered PixieThe amazing caramel highlights added to this pixie create a texture explosion! Soft side bangs are contrasted with edge shattered pieces throughout the entire haircut. Longer side burns hug the face in a very flattering way and keep the cut feminine.
How to Style:
1. Blow dry your bangs forward and to the side.
2. Blow dry the rest of your pixie back and away from your face to create that upward effect.
3. Use your go-to styling products to enhance and lock in your look.

How to Style:
The hardest part about this hairstyle will be your stylist cutting it exactly right. Once that is done, you’ll only have to worry about arranging your hair into it’s proper place every day.
1. Comb hair and use your fingers to pull bangs forward and laying flat.
2. Use a product with some stickiness to it to pinch the longer bangs pieces together, then rough up the crown area for drama and volume.

Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Thick hair that is naturally straight or wavy can pull off this futuristic hairstyle. Round or heart-shaped faces are the best candidates.
