Black hair is often very thick, which can make many styles a struggle. With this short haircut, the sides are clipped extra short above the ear line, while the hair up top is free to do its own thing. It’s best to divide the two sections with shaved lines.
The combination of vibrant colors on the top of your hair with classy black hair is an excellent way to stand out in the crowd. This pixie is worn with long bangs highlighted in bright colors that add so much oomph to the look.

Straight, side swept and lovely – three ways to describe this close pixie cut that means business. This will work well on a variety of hair types, but you will likely want your hair to be straight to accentuate the dramatic beauty of this mane.

Black women love experiments with blonde hair color. If you want to give it a try too, better pair it with a super short pixie cut like this nearly white stunner. This curly pixie cut with short bangs and a tapered back perfectly frames the face, making you look stylish and sassy.

This layered pixie cut is colored to show off each section as an individual statement. Use vibrant hues of purple and teal, or choose any hues you love. Don’t forget to wear some bold makeup with this style, as you don’t want your face to look “washed out” next to your vibrant strands.

Sometimes blondes do have more fun – especially when it’s a gorgeous, confident African-American with blonde highlights! Black pixie cuts don’t have to commit to one hue – mix it up with blonde, red or vibrant neon colored highlights.

Look how extravagant this black pixie crop looks. Wispy layers on top add extra volume, while vivid fringe creates a trendy bold look. It can also bring out the eyes and help you regrow thinning edges.
