An undercut pixie bob is a great choice for those looking for inspiration for a total transformation! Consider it will go best with highlights for added texture and dimension.
@pamela_cabelos
Shaved sides and asymmetry are definitely the signature details of this smooth black pixie bob. However, we also suggest adding a tiny nape undercut to emphasize the boldness of this style.
@cory.hairbendthesalon
A classic inverted haircut is never out of fashion, but this season hairstylists recommend going for something edgier and more attractive — just like the undercut stacked bob. The hidden shaved side will instantly update your style and make you feel catchier than ever!
@thefit_hincapiehairstylist
The ear-length angled bob with a shaved side and nape looks effortlessly cool and sassy — exactly what a modern woman needs! A great example of how one hairstyle can combine the features of a feminine bob cut and a bold undercut style.
@yuukiabe_doux
This aspiring pixie bob cut will impress even the most demanding fashionistas! A high undercut and highlighted layers perfectly complement each other, creating this gorgeous textured pixie bob worthy of adoration.
@diegomarcsant
Pretty and low-maintenance, this medium-length pixie bob suits women of all ages. Ask for an uneven cut, with one side longer than the other, to add zest to this haircut. Also, you may apply some blonde highlights to bring extra volume to your thin hair.
@ocortequeeukerol
If you wish to make your thick hair more manageable, opt for this wavy pixie bob with a side undercut and shaved nape. Use a texturizing spray to lift your layers at the crown and create an airy and voluminous style that will emphasize your appearance.
@shapeshifter__studio
Looking for a way to spice up your short straight hair while leaving it neat and work-appropriate? A shaved temple will modernize your classic bob cut, and caramel babylights will make your brown locks more dimensional.
@bailey_aesthetics
Layers and highlights are two components that make short haircuts voluminous and textured, so if it’s what you need — take this asymmetrical pixie bob haircut as an inspiration. It will freshen up your look and visually elongate a round face shape.
@hairapy_with_skyy
This layered pixie bob with hidden shaved sides will undoubtedly change the way your shorter hair looks. This is a great cut for those of you who have a hard time getting volume, with the heavy texturizing and wispy feathered bangs, it will definitely lighten up your locks! You could wear it back with the pompadour look too.
@bellanni_2015
Pixie bob haircuts work awesome for thick hair, as they take away excessive bulkiness from the strands, making the mane more textured and lightweight. Emphasize this hairstyle with a cute tiny undercut to keep up with trends and look more eye-catching.
@haarkult_st.ingbert
In this style, the main accent is on a long side fringe, contrasted by an undercut temple on the other side. Overall, the haircut feels very relaxed but the bright blonde hue also delivers lots of energy and light.
@amybellwoodhair
Wish to stand out and get more attention from people around you? This marvelous layered pixie bob with a small undercut is what can make your attractiveness a few levels higher! A black mane, paired with chocolate teasylights and messy styling, also delivers fantastic movement.
@shmoakin_hair
The best thing about this pixie bob haircut is that you don’t have to visit your hairstylist too often to refresh the look. Shadow roots allow your hair to grow naturally and longer side-swept bangs open versatile styling options. If you are making a big change and cutting off a lot of hair, make sure to do the haircut first and then follow up with your colorist for best results.
@dmr__hairresidence
Here is one of the best fits for fine hair texture! Highlights make brown strands appear fuller and thicker, so you won’t need to bother about special volume-boosting shampoos or similar products. Just blow-dry your short locks, and you are ready to go!
@haarkult_st.ingbert
Have some fun and experiment with your short hair to give it a fresh, stylish look à la frontwoman of a glam rock band! Shave your side up to the hairline to create contrast between a side fringe and an undercut and showcase your bold personality.
@shmoakin_hair
This undercut pixie bob is quite a catch! Short cropped hair with choppy layers on one side and a buzz-cut head on the other will work for any hair type and texture. However, mind your corporate environment before getting a cut like this.
@hair_by_marlo
Wow everyone with a daring, edgy style, emphasized by symmetrically shaved sides with a wave-shaped undercut design. Unlike previous options, this pixie bob can be styled to both sides, so you can change your styling and come up with a new hairdo from time to time.
@raddragonsalon
This jaw-length pixie undercut will look flawless on ladies over 50. To repeat this hairstyle, make crown layers shorter and accentuate your face shape with longer front locks. This will give your fine hair extra volume and highlight its movement.
@sheshejean
What is the best way to style an undercut pixie bob?
“I will say there is no wrong way,” Emily says. “I do love a round brush in the back to give body and follow up with a light flat iron in front.”
Should women with thin fine hair avoid the cut?
Absolutely not, Emily believes. “Undercuts are not just about relieving weight or taking out bulk, it’s about edginess and versatility and just having fun with your hair. Just do your research and get a great hair cutting specialist near you; they will be able to tailor the haircut to your needs.”
