Sculpted Waves with Retro Influence
Meet the softer side of Fall pixie haircut ideas. This one is on the border between short and medium, soft, wavy, twisted with fingers texture that is already emitting discreet 1940-esque starlet. It is back-layered so that it fits close to the nape and the front has natural bends that fall freely-not too controlled so that it is romantic. The brunette tone adds to the timeless vibe.
This style loves mousse. Repair your waves with the MoroccanOil Curl Control Mousse and fix your waves with a wide-barrel curling wand. To achieve the entire flow you only need two or three fixed curls. Don not brush it off, with your fingers keep the shape.
This haircut reminds me of old timey perfume advertisements, soft focus, big earrings, and mock neck perhaps. It is old-money-at-a-twist of indie film.
If you’re over sleek styles and craving movement, this one’s a cool nod to glam, without feeling like cosplay.
Feathered Flirt with Fringe Layers
Call it the “model-off-duty” pixie. This short cut is piecey and messy but effortless cool is all over. Slieu is done deliberately creating lightness to the face and a somewhat longer crown. The bangs are gentle side-swept, and get to touch the eyes, which seems so natural as not affected.
Texturizing sprays are my favorite to do this with, I use the Bumble and Bumbles Surf Spray. It adds grip and movement without turning strands crunchy. Just pinch the bangs between the fingers using a drop of styling cream to achieve more defined fringe.
This is the pixie who does not rely on much make-up and a leather jacket. Or even just a black tee and good brows. It’s the kind of cut that doesn’t need much to look like you tried. It just does.
Any time a question comes up such as, Will this work on fine hair? this is my response. It’s volume-building and feather-light at the same time.
Deep Blue Rebel Crop
This one’s for the color enthusiasts. An uneven, jagged edged pixie gets a boost of the rebellious by a midnight navy base, with rich hues of denim and ink running through the ends. The front is long and swings low to one eye and the back and opposite side braids up close with razor accuracy. It’s cool without being costume.
Such dark fantasy shades need color-depositing shampoo KERACOLOR has an excellent blue tone to keep things dark. Copy the trick of the models and use dry shampoo in between washes to extend pigment as far as possible.
I’ve always had a soft spot for jewel-toned pixies. They feel creative, but grounded. It is an incision to prepare you when you want to tell someone, Yes I have a view. And particularly in combination with some silver jewelry or image heavy liner.
And you are growing out an old bleach job and want a strong cover up? Blue is the sleeper pick that never fails.
Micro Fringe in Firelight Copper
This haircut reminds us of that on Audrey Hepburn, albeit spiced up. This Pixie is a warm-coppery shade of hair, and is stacked back and finished off with layering and cutting this pixie to a short length. Here the micro-fringe comes back with vengeance–hovering at the brow bone in soft, choppy edges. It is classic-quirky at its best, and it looks best on fine hair.
To define texture and give weight to the baby fringe, I love using a molding paste like Hanz de Fuko’s Gravity Paste—just a fingertip’s worth worked into the fringe gives it shape and polish. Don’t overdo it. This look is delicate, not helmeted.
It is the hair cut of the bookworm who does not forget how to shade. It’s confident, sculpted, and a little retro-futuristic. I think this goes perfectly with glasses, statement pearls or that neutral-colored sweater you keep falling back on.
And yes, this is a fashion, which is flattering to all age groups. It is the magic of a cut which is governed by its own laws.
Frosted Blonde Grown-Out Glam
Let’s end on the queen of grown-in elegance. It is a trademark pixie but longer on the top, dramatic and with the layered ends finishing and softening into a tapered line. The dark, shadow role plays up that brunette tone and then the bright, beige silver blonde provides major light-play. There’s something so easy, yet refined here. It’s the kind of cut that makes you feel instantly polished—even when you’re running errands.
This look thrives on shine. Apply a glossing serum such as Paul Mitchell Super Skinny before a flat-wrap around blow-dry. I would also use a toning treatment such as the one providing by dpHue Cool Blonde Gloss once a week to maintain the brightness without the brass.
It gives me the associations I had to the hair of women whose personal cool is inimitable, at European airports. Timeless. A little undone. But undeniably chic.
The best part? This pixie grows out beautifully. It does not matter what time of year it is because even when you go a few weeks without hitting the salon, the shape does not lose its grace.
