The pixie cut is not just a fashion statement but a symbol of women’s empowerment. It first appeared in the 1920s, when women dared to break the mold of femininity by slashing their hair shorter than ever. Unfortunately, the trend died down in the following decades — until Audrey Hepburn in 1953.
Hepburn received an Oscar for her performance in the rom-com “Roman Holiday” — which she performed with her hair lobbed off. The short hair was a crucial element of the film; however, the hairstyle gained much notoriety. In the following years, supermodel Twiggy and, most noticeably, actress Mia Farrow chopped their hair off similarly.
Since then, hundreds of Hollywood stars have sported the pixie haircut, including Halle Berry, Madonna, and Emma Watson.

What is a pixie cut?
It’s a short haircut for women. The hair is cut above the ear, although some pixie styles will drop below the ear on the side or front.
A well-done cut of this sort will be well-layered, showing off the shape of the head or parts of it. It creates the same appearance as slicking back hair because there isn’t much body beyond the scalp.
One might say it’s a “guy’s” haircut, but it’s not in most cases. Pixie cuts are done in a way that is uniquely for women.
Types of Pixie Haircuts
Wedge Pixie
This version keeps the hair on the top and sides longer. This makes the pixie look voluminous and gives it a shape similar to the classic wedge. Wedge pixies are popular because they let women wear short hair without sacrificing volume.
Classic Pixie
In the classic pixie, the hair is cut short on the neck and sides, with slightly pointed front pieces in front of the ears and a feathered top layer on the crown. The pixie is a classic haircut that has endured for generations.
Bob Pixie
In a bob pixie, the hair in front is left long, falling over the cheeks, and usually cut at a slant. It creates the illusion of long bangs. The back of the hair is left very short and close to the neck.
Undercut Pixie
This style uses undercutting to give the pixie a boxy, square shape. It involves cutting the neck and nape hair very short. The hair ends are cut sharply to emphasize the boxy shape.
Disconnected Pixie
Pixies usually hug the head closely. In this type, the hair on the sides is left slightly longer and cut in layers. This creates a tousled look that keeps the basic pixie length and shape.
Feathered Pixie
In this cut, the top hair is cut into soft layers that lie like feathers on the hair. This gives an asymmetrical edge that adds interest to the haircut.
Choppy Pixie
Short, sharp layers define the texture of this version of the pixie. The layers give this cut a shaggy look. It’s a modern update on the classic. Styling the layers upward adds some edge.
Bowl-Cut Pixie
This dramatic haircut uses undercutting on the nape and sides. It leaves the top hair longer and chopped into layers, creating an edgy look that gives the hair a lift.
Tapered Pixie
Using a tapered cut on the ends gives this pixie a softer edge. The hair is left slightly longer, and the cut is less defined. The result is a less boxy, more subtle shape that resembles a traditional short haircut.
Tinkerbell Pixie
In this cut, wisps of hair in unequal lengths are left peeking out along the nape, across the top and over the ears. The result is a slightly spiky, tousled style reminiscent of a fairy’s hairdo.
Best Hair Type for a Pixie Haircut
Straight
Straight hair is ideal for pixie cuts. A good cut will require almost no styling on straight hair. Straight hair looks good in a classic pixie because straight hair emphasizes the cut’s smooth shape.
Straight hair can sport any pixie cut, but if your hair is thin or fine, a very close crop might emphasize that. If you think your hair is too fine or straight to hold a shaped style, choose a pixie cut with some lift, like a bowl cut or a wedge pixie.
Wavy
Wavy hair will give a natural lift and tousle to a pixie cut. Women with wavy hair often seek short styles to emphasize their wave and get some control. A pixie cut on wavy hair looks softer than the same cut on straight hair.
Wavy and curly hair can add a new element to a pixie cut. Bangs are a good choice with this cut as they allow the hair to add interesting natural texture. The best pixie haircuts for wavy hair are the tousled pixie, shaggy pixie, or wedge pixie.
Curly
You can wear a pixie cut if you have curly hair. Sometimes, women opt for a shortcut because it cuts off their curls and makes their hair easy to manage. Curly hair looks good when it’s super-short because it retains enough body to cut look full instead of flat.
Depending on your cut, you can flatten the curls or get a cut that will make them spring out. Some curly hair develops tighter, more defined ringlets when it’s cut. This gives a whole new look to the pixie. The cut will prevent the hair from looking like a curly mop. The best pixie cuts for curly hair are the tapered or classic pixie.
Thick
Thick hair will feel lighter when cut short. Short cuts are excellent for thick hair because the hair’s thickness keeps the cut from looking flat or skimpy. These cuts will have natural bounce and movement. They’ll also be easy to style.
The one problem that might occur is the short hair looking boxy or bulky if it’s thick. To avoid bulkiness, choose a pixie cut that has a smooth look. A bowl-cut or wedge pixie might look boxy. A Tinkerbell pixie or classic pixie are good choices for thick hair.
Fine
A short haircut can disguise the thinness of fine hair, but choose the right shape. Women with fine hair look best in pixie cuts that leave some pieces long, like a tousled or tapered pixie. A classic pixie with the bangs left long is also a good choice for fine hair.
Coarse
Some women with coarse hair look to short cuts to help keep the hair smooth. The right shape of the cut is important to keep the cut from looking stiff. Coarse hair will look best with a pixie cut that has layers to allow some movement. A layered, choppy, or Tinkerbell pixie is a good choice for coarse hair.
Best Face Shapes for Pixie Hair Cuts
Oval
Women with oval faces are lucky because they can wear almost any haircut. A shortcut like a pixie will flatter your face shape and show it off. A classic pixie is a striking choice that will show off your features. A pixie cut with a lift on the top and sides will also flatter you.
Square
If you have a square face, the best short haircuts for you will have some softness, especially on the sides. Your goal is to soften the shape with tendrils and fullness.
You should look for pixie cuts that have a softer edge. A classic or bowl-cut pixie might look too severe on a square face. You don’t want to look boxy. Better bets would be a wedge pixie, a feathered pixie, a disconnected pixie, or a slightly longer pixie with tousled layers.
Rectangle
Does your face resemble a rectangle? You may have been told that certain styles make your face look like a square. These include long, straight hair and super-short cuts. Any haircut can be adapted to be flattering to your face shape.
The best styles for you will include bangs. Another good styling tip is to look for haircuts that have softness and fullness on the sides. You’ll look best with a bowl-cut pixie, a bob pixie, or a wedge pixie.
Round
Many women with round faces believe that a short haircut won’t flatter them. In reality, you can look good with short hair. Hair that falls to the middle of your face can make your cheeks look slimmer.
Avoid voluminous cuts on the sides for the best look, as these can add weight to your face. A classic, shaggy, or feathered pixie is flattering to round face shapes. Look for movement and height at the top or in the length to get the best look.
Triangle
Triangle-shaped faces are narrow at the forehead and wider at the jawline. If you have this face shape, you want a haircut that will balance your features.
Your most flattering cuts will be slightly longer pixie cuts. Ask for a cut that ends at your chin with bangs, loose layers, or other strands that can sweep your face. Your most flattering pixie cuts will be the disconnected or bob pixie.
Diamond
The opposite of triangle shapes, diamond-shaped faces are narrow at the jawline and wide at the forehead. You can wear almost any pixie cut with this face shape. The shortness of the cut will balance your face.
For the best results, your haircut should be shorter. Ask for a cut that ends above the chin. The most flattering cuts will hug your head loosely. The best pixie cuts for you are the wedge, bowl-cut, or Tinkerbell pixie.
Heart
Heart-shaped faces usually come with noticeable cheekbones. Play that feature up by wearing a haircut that falls in soft waves. Heart-shaped faces can look angular. Soften that look with a cut incorporating layers, tendrils, and other soft elements.
Regarding pixie cuts, you’ll look your best in a disconnected pixie, an undercut pixie, or a classic pixie with bangs cut in.
Oblong
Oblong faces can look too long if the wrong haircut frames them. You want a haircut that balances that length with volume at the sides. A short haircut is more flattering than long hair on an oblong face. Ask for a pixie cut that has fullness on the sides. Your best choices are the bowl-cut, undercut, or wedge pixie.
Maintaining a Pixie Cut
One huge advantage is that it’s easy to manage, style, and maintain. It’s short, so there’s not much management involved. Moreover, it dries quickly as well. This type of cut is for the woman who likes to make a statement and enjoys a no-fuss lifestyle. It’s a bit of a minimalist style.
Enough length for curls or waves?
As you’ll see above, there are pixie cuts with waves and curls. While it’s a short style, women with wavy or curly hair can easily incorporate those waves and curls into a pixie cut.
For younger women?
While many older women opt for a pixie cut, it’s also popular for younger women too. I quite like the shortness of it for some women so that it can be a terrific option for both young and old.
How to choose?
I think choosing a particular pixie style is hard. There are so many, and they look different, even if they are similar in length. It’s all about the layering, which areas are kept long, the direction of the sweep, faceshape, color, and hair type.
