If you love casually voluminous hairstyles, we’ve got something to suggest. A daring number such as this one is sure to inject lots of sass into your daily look. The volume is built on the crown, with a cute feathered finish added.
This fabulous pixie with pinkish highlights on the silver base looks like an extra short stacked bob. The longer angled top layers create the perfect edges and texture for this one-of-a-kind short hairstyle.
@violetthestylist
Upgrade your typical pixie and style it with long side bangs featuring a color accent. Go for a golden highlight on the pieces closest to your eyes, if your eyes are blue or brown.
@nicole_huntsman
This undercut pixie with bangs is one of the best and most flattering options for women with fine hair. Side-swept bangs and chunky highlights near the face give this style a glow-up. Part hair unevenly for character.
@shannonrha
Here’s another cute short pixie cut with bangs. This one uses highlights on piece-y locks to bring attention to the crown of volume over an undercut. The key to this style is long bangs and short sides so remember to maintain the undercut with frequent trims.

Valerie Curry is seen wearing a nicely structured pixie cut with soft layers and asymmetrical bangs. This look is great for someone who likes to be able to switch up their styles. In the picture, Valerie’s look is particularly vampy. However, one could easily pull off something lighter. This is because the asymmetrical bangs add an edge and the soft layers smooth it out. Therefore, they work as a team to create a truly versatile hair style!

Kaley Cuoco is seen wearing an old favorite: the classic pixie cut. With short razored layers and forehead bangs, this classic cut really suits her well. The slight spikiness and effortless appeal adds an edge to what is typically an oober feminine hair style. Rock on Kaley Cuoco!

The tapered nature of this pixie cut adds the hairstyle a whole lot of dimension. The dark, super short pixie creates a perfect frame to show off every sculpted angle on your face. From the side, the shaved undercut makes the tight crop appear ultra-femme.
@jessmaxk
The deep side part builds a traditionally feminine shape, while the extra long side bangs enhance its playful quality. When combined, the short hair long bangs combo is the perfect fusion of girl-next-door and punky rockstar.
@wherezashdoinhair
The metallic hue and short back of the sleek pixie bob is eternally cool. Take a cue from modern colors and make blue your new signature shade. Wispy bangs brushed onto the forehead will come out even more beautiful in pictures.
@yokii.san
Super short choppy cuts are minimalism at its finest. Two-toned hairstyles are back and here to stay, and this classic cut proves that the simplest cut can be the chicest. Try two shades of layered brown or blonde – the possibilities are endless!
@hair_byalexandra
Razored edges on the long pixie with bangs keep this style from looking like any other. An undercut that’s also visible from the side lends it an edgy look.
@de.ja.hue
This stunning curly pixie cut with bangs will wow your next dinner date. The gorgeous blonde waves lend this look volume and edgy texture. Show off the dramatic eyes behind those soft feathered bangs.
@kaci.lashgeeks
Another edgy option, this pixie haircut with bangs owes a lot of its chic to the undercut section. You can also try it in a tapered shape if you want a smoother look.
@coloristsochi
Ready for a glow-up on your current boring hairstyle? Try this pixie cut with bangs and feathered layers. A quick wash and spritz of hairspray or styling creme and you’re good to go!
@angelcrouse
A pixie cut with long bangs is just the style for you if you don’t want to go too short. Highlight your long side bangs in a golden blonde to bring a little more warmth to your face.
@halglannhair
Feel like trying a fun hairstyle? The sliced pixie cut with straight bangs makes eyes pop and gives a more elongated shape to the face.
@colourbyvictoria
The gorgeous silver pixie with fringe that sweeps across the eyebrows and grazes the eyes is a hairstyle to flatter a round face. Just for fun, pick a subtle color such as a light shade of blue or purple for highlights.
@aprilbloom
With short hair, it’s all about the details. An asymmetrical undercut gives ultimate #hairgoals, especially if you pair it with wavy styling for the longer pieces. Meanwhile, the subtle pink undertones provide a whole new definition to her dreamy locks. What better way to rev up the romance?
@sarah_louwho
These gorgeous short bangs are oozing major Audrey Hepburn vibes, which is never a bad thing. In this case, the choppy bangs are kept simple in order to bring more attention to the face. The beauty of the look is its versatility; style those cropped layers whichever way you want: ruffled and spiked or slicked down.
@beautybylaurenanne
Looking for a hairstyle that’ll work with your straight hair? A shaggy pixie cut like this one will give you plenty of texture and dimension.
@stylospeluqueros
Unlike the typical pixie haircut, pixie bobs allow for more styling options because of the longer length. Side-swept bangs of this beautiful highlighted bronde pixie bob are long enough to pin back or braid for a more formal updo.
@colored_bynikki
For those who thought curly haired women can’t pull off short hair, think again. The asymmetrical style pairs lovely with waves; all you need is a lightweight mousse and a spritz of hairspray to maintain the shape. You can further brighten up your face by adding highlights and lowlights for a dynamic effect.
@emilyandersonstyling
We consider this voluminous pixie cut is the true ally of your fine hair, as it brings texture and movement to thin, lifeless locks. Lift the crown with shorter feathered layers and apply long side-swept bangs for a mysterious look.
@andersonacouto
A short pixie cut with bangs for straight hair may feature lots of sliced layers that offer a cute texture whether styled with a product or without any. Add bangs that brush across your eyebrows. Pair the look with a cute set of earrings that are perfectly displayed with a short cut.
@tanyusha_younusova
With a wispy white pixie undercut you will be a star of the neighborhood. A pixie cut with long bangs gives you the best of both worlds by mixing shaggy chic with elegant simplicity. As a bonus, it’s also no-fuss, meaning you won’t have to spend hours grooming in the morning,
@hairbymarkbooth
Nothing says easy-breezy-beautiful like an airy, feathered look. Here, the sideswept bands may play as edgy and as romantic, depending on how you choose to style. This pretty tousled feathered ‘do is casually chic and we love it!
@katierosehair
Want an office appropriate variation? For a sophisticated take on the cut, a smooth and shiny stacked pixie is the perfect choice. The unruffled surface is refined and businesslike. But the eye-grazing length provides a dash of the coquette.
@hairbyedwin
Short styles can feel intimidating, but this timeless variant flatters just about everyone. The crown is subtly mussed and fluffed while the long V-cut layers are brushed casually to the side. The surface length flows prettily over the cropped borders. It’s extra chic in natural silver.
@emilyandersonstyling
The shiny blonde balayage amps up the innocence factor of this adorable outgrown pixie. Piece-y, swoopy bangs contribute to the elegance of the cut. If you’re not afraid of bleaching, platinum blonde is a gorgeous color that flatters most skin tones.
@yvilaaaaaand
This layered pixie haircut with bangs and highlights looks incredibly stylish, yet it’s easy to style and maintain, which is essential for a modern fashionista. Apply some texturizing spray or mousse when styling your layers to give them this edgy spiky texture.
@moon_hair_bygaby
Just because your hair is short doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the full benefits of stylish layers. And we don’t know about you, but we’re getting some serious vibes of Old Hollywood glamour from these classy sideburns!
@daniele_deangelishair
These beautiful graded layers offer body, dimension and the gorgeous hairstyle silhouette. Heart-shaped faces are fortunate enough to look good with almost any style, and this cut is no exception.
@jamiedanahairstylist
Inspired by the 80s, this edgy pixie with tousled layers is a fancy version of a classic pixie cut. Bangs soften this hairstyle and flatter facial features while balancing the long face shape.
@lucasapolinario
Embrace your appearance with a stylish pixie bob with side-swept bangs. Long layered fringe brings chic vibes to this haircut, making it a great companion for your beautiful cocktail dress. And the day after, you can easily repeat this styling to complement your casual outfit.
@eduardomagri9
Piece-y bangs can make any haircut look different, even the simplest one, as they spice up any appearance. For example, check out how charming and gracefully this lady looks after this transformation! A true elegance!
@studio_mostton
This sophisticated pixie cut with long bangs is perfect for those who are new to short strands. A tight undercut removes weight, while the front provides the comfort of length. We love the vampy dark espresso and the heather streaks dappling the surface.
@kristi.coleman
Side-swept bangs create a great match with shaggy pixie hairstyles and ideally suit women with triangle or heart face shapes. Save this photo and go for the messy elongated haircut the next time you visit a salon.
@rcgimenes
If you’re going with an extreme color like platinum blonde or gray, keep things interesting with a long pixie cut. Work some straight bangs into it to soften the look. Sleek bangs and straight locks work best on finer hair, but this cut can be pulled off with any hair type.
@emilyandersonstyling
Lisa Rinna looks like an absolute vintage vixen with her throwback pixie cut! The shaggy layers and messy fringe provide a pleasant-looking 70’s vibe. The warmth in the brown toned highlights also adds a goddess-like glow to Lisa’s skin, contrasting beautifully with her tan complexion!

Messy blonde pixie can make your thick hair look less heavy while giving it a funky vibe you may lack. Complement this gorgeous short haircut with catchy makeup to draw more attention to your new style.
@joeltorresstyle
You don’t have to go for an extremely short haircut to change your style drastically. Opt for something cute yet stylish, for example, this feminine long pixie with wispy bangs. Also, dye your hair in copper-brown tones to make it more natural.
@adeleh_haircut
Who says you can’t play with both length and color? Those with warmer skin undertones will look great in lilac and magenta. Integrate some lilac balayage with piecey, layered strands. Leaving the longer, textured hair in front of the ears offers a softer touch for your medium pixie.
@van_salon5150
The bold geometry of this blunt pixie is softened by its flouncy carnation tone. Clean lines are best for fine tresses, which can look scraggly if overly layered. For a glossy sheen, polish ends with a straightening iron and a dab of pomade.
@mellowhair1
Thick short haircuts like this textured pixie are suitable for all ages! They don’t require much time and effort for styling and maintenance, so you can be sure you will always have a cool hairdo. A tip: bring your hair a lifted feel with a tapered back.
@anaccaner
One of the cool things about short cuts is that you can wear them without a part. Sweeping strands forward and to one side minimizes the disconnection of the long bang. Pixie points in the sideburns incorporate a retro flare; the choppy interior adds interest.
@laurenkrechhairstylin
This variation of a chic pixie hairstyle is equally perfect for peaceful office meetings, romantic dates, and crazy nights out. To create this look, ask for a full head of layers at the crown and blow-dry your hair with a round brush.
@esther.itterly
This unique crop is both fashionable and low maintenance. The blunt outline frames the disheveled body of the cut adorned with distinct details: white-blonde tips and shaved sideburns. The airy windswept texture requires nothing more than a dab of paste and a tousle.
@samkanehair
Show off an impressive cut with bangs adding an undercut and a metallic color. Edgy and so current, this hairstyle will instantly build a chic look even with a pretty simple basic wardrobe.
@curtiscolorshair
Cheeky yet elegant, this pixie with long bangs swept to the side is an excellent example of a trendy short hairstyle for thick hair. Curl some of the locks with a flat iron to emphasize the texture of your subtle blonde highlights.
@diegomarcsant
Well, there you have it! Those are your fifty terrific tapers! After reviewing these cool cuts, you have an array of possibilities. Simply be sure that the style you choose suits you, your lifestyle and your wants!
