Are you tired of spending hours on your hair every morning? Do you want a short hairstyle that’s easy to style but still chic and stylish? Look no further than the pixie cut with bangs! This edgy yet feminine style has been a woman’s favorite for decades and is still going strong. From soft, piecey bangs to sharp, bold edges, the pixie cut with bangs is a versatile look tailored to fit any personality and face shape.

Mikaela Balzer, a hairstylist with over 20 years of experience.
Mikaela currently works at Sloane’s Beauty Bar in Minneapolis, MN.

Balzer’s number one tip for women considering a pixie cut with bangs is to be realistic about the maintenance they are willing to have. “How often are you willing to get your bangs/pixie trimmed? The answer to that question will have much to do with the length and shape of the entire look,” Balzer says. Soft, piecey bangs and softer shapes require less maintenance, while a higher maintenance pixie cut with sharper edges can be short.

According to Balzer, the biggest benefit of a pixie cut with bangs is that it’s great for almost all hair types. It’s a quick and easy style to maintain and is super versatile in terms of styling. Fine hair types may benefit the most from a pixie cut as it grows out the softest and can use a bit of volume gained from being cut shorter.

However, there are drawbacks to getting a pixie cut with bangs. Maintenance is the greatest concern, as it requires regular trims every 6-10 weeks, depending on the shape and length. Thick hair types require the most maintenance as the shape is lost faster due to hair density.

One thing that many people, including stylists, may not know about the pixie cut is that it doesn’t have to be super short everywhere. Balzer suggests leaving softness and weight in certain areas of the haircut to make a huge difference in how the hair responds to styling and how the cut grows out.

When considering a pixie cut with bangs, it’s important to ask your stylist about shape and styling. Balzer stresses that shape is crucial with a pixie cut as it puts everything on display. “Your eyes, cheekbones, neck, head shape, and even forehead matter when finding the perfect pixie with bangs for you,” Balzer explains. It’s also important to discuss styling expectations with your stylist to ensure the cut meets your needs.

A pixie cut with side bangs complements any face shape. Achieve this hairstyle by picking the best side to create your part. It’s important to give hair more movement and volume. Then, cut long layers starting from the front of the face. Easy to wear and maintain—who else loves this long pixie cut?

#2: Soft and Wispy Pixie with Fringe

If you want a short hairstyle, consider a soft, wispy pixie cut with a fringe. To enhance this look even further, consider changing your hair color if you can. Choosing a soft blonde or warm brunette color would look stunning!

#3: Super Cute Pixie Cut with Choppy Bangs

Try a super cute pixie cut with choppy bangs. This versatile and stylish hairstyle suits various face shapes and hair textures. The haircut has shorter layers on the top and sides, paired with choppy, textured bangs that frame the face. The choppy bangs add a playful and effortless vibe to the overall look. This pixie cut is ideal for those with fine to medium hair, especially if they want to add volume and movement. Styling won’t be hard. Use a texture spray and scrunch your hair to add definition.

#4: Versatile Pixie with Side Fringe

A pixie cut with a side fringe offers versatility – curly or straight to either side. Your hair will be easy to style and right on trend. The best styling product for these pixies with bangs would be a texture spray.

#5: Short Pixie Cut with Choppy Fringe Bangs

A short pixie cut looks better with added choppy fringe bangs. Adding choppy fringe bangs can accentuate the eyes and create a soft look around the face. Take caution when adding bangs during the hot summer months, as bangs can tend to get oily easily.

#6: Winged Pixie with Dirty Blonde Balayage

It sounds like you’re ready to shake things up with his winged pixie with a dirty blonde balayage! This haircut is a longer wixie cut with a razor fringe and edges for movement and texture around the face. I suggest incorporating wax into your regimen for added texture and volume.

#7: Long Sweeping Bangs on a Pixie

Consider long sweeping bangs on a pixie when you want to switch up your current hairstyle. This short pixie with long bangs can frame the face beautifully, adding dimension to a once-boring cut. It’s perfect for those who want a low-maintenance style with an added touch of glamour. The length of the bangs can vary depending on preference. But they should be long enough to sweep to the side, and you can blend them seamlessly with the rest of the hair.

#8: Trending Pixie Shag with Bottleneck Fringe

Try this pixie shag with bottleneck fringe for a new trendy cut! This fun cut will give your hair tons of volume and texture. I advise purchasing a good texture spray to style this daily.

#9: Chic Pixie Bob Makeover

A chic pixie bob makeover can be just the thing to add lift and shape to your face. Ask for a longer pixie when deciding to go shorter. Longer pixies can have length around the ear and be more forgiving with face-framing. When you decide to go shorter, it’s also important to note you may need a new styling routine. I suggest a small blow-dry round brush. My favorite is the DryBar Half Shot Small Round Blow-Dryer Brush.

#10: Textured and Undercut Pixie Cut with Fringe

Try this textured undercut pixie with fringe. The undercut is a great way to eliminate unwanted bulk in the hair. Be sure to ask for styling product recommendations.

#11: Edgy Blonde Pixie with Long Choppy Bangs

An edgy blonde pixie with long choppy bangs is an instant shift and helps lift the facial features. If you have high cheekbones, a pixie that emphasizes your eyes is the best way to compliment your face shape. I recommend adding lots of texture and short layers for an edgy effect. Try a dry-cutting method for added texture and softness.

#12: Cute Pixie Shag with Curtain Bangs

A lixie shag with curtain bangs and textured layers is a great style for those with a big forehead. It’s perfect for framing the face. When getting this cut, avoid having too much hair layered around your forehead. Instead, ask for shorter layers that fall around your face. The shorter bangs and layers will help to draw attention to your eyes. And the longer layers in the back will give you a bit of definition and body. With this style, use a light-hold styling product to help give your hair a bit of texture and movement.

#13: Coffee Brown Long Pixie Bob with Sideburns

Instead of settling for the same old pixie cut, ask for a lixie to shape your long face. This look is perfect for refreshing your style while maintaining low maintenance. It’s best suited to your hair that is thicker in texture. It allows you to keep the volume up without too much effort styling. To make sure your layers stay put, use a lightweight hairspray. Try Oribe Superfine Hair Spray to keep everything in place. Ask your stylist to skip any extra product, as this style looks best when left natural!

#14: Choppy Bangs on a Short Pixie

Choppy bangs on a short pixie work well for super straight hair without movement. A woman’s short pixie haircut with short bangs on very straight hair can feel lifeless. That’s why adding choppy bangs allows it to sit with more shape and texture. The hidden, shorter, choppy lengths push the longer hair forward to enhance movement and curvature around the face.

#15: Bright White Pixie with Bangs and Sideburns

A bold and edgy style can come from a very chic combo of cut and color. To ensure you get a color that compliments your skin, talk with your stylist about a hue for you. A short pixie can have style and movement in the bangs and details around the facial features—for example, the sideburns. You must consider how much effort you’d like to put into your everyday styling. However, this length grows out relatively fast. It guarantees you a fresh style every salon visit.

A soft pearl white pixie for women over 70 is a perfect face-flattering style. It’s perfect for women who want an easy-to-style look that’s timeless and elegant.

#18: Choppy Long Pixie with Fringe

A choppy pixie with a fringe is a functional and pretty shape you’ll love. The long tousled top and short sides and back will be easy to manage while giving you great lines. If you keep the top closer to the head and move forward, you will be rewarded with a modern shape. The best way to achieve a flatter shape is to dry the roots down, not up. This technique will work whether you use a round brush or your hands.

#19: Chic Pixie with French-Inspired Bangs

Consider a soft and chic pixie with French-inspired bangs. Your stylist will need to texture cut your style, leaving length around the ears and back. This will add softness. Try to blow dry the top forward, moving the bangs to the side as you go. The bangs can be cut slightly asymmetrically to enhance the shape. You must apply a texture paste to bring out the chunky layers for a tousled finish.

#20: Soft Light Brown Pixie with Soft Fringe

A light brown pixie with a soft fringe is a chic style that brings female empowerment to those who wear it. If your hair has a lot of dark pigment, I suggest finding a stylist who can achieve the best results. Patience will play a factor. They may have to remove any obstacle that allows for a hue that is void of any brass.

#21: Textured Pixie with Bangs and Layers

Consider a textured pixie with bangs and layers for a quick and easy style. With this style, you don’t have to spend much time styling your hair. My experience with shorter hair is the less you fuss, the better it looks. Ask your stylist to texturize the top and front of your hair. You’ll get some extra froth. Add a pomade throughout your hair, and you’re out the door.

#22: Super Cute Tousled Pixie with Fringe

Embrace your natural hair texture and consider a long, wavy pixie with wavy bangs. In my experience, once you try short hair, you’ll never go back. The ease and style of a short cut are exemplary. If you can, blow dry your long pixie with a diffuser, moving the top toward your face. This will give you a flattering, wavy, trendy, soft finish.

#27: Cute Pixie with Fringe with Glasses

Rock a cute pixie with fringe and glasses if you love a hairstyle with spunk and personality. Pixie haircuts are so cute, feminine, and versatile as far as styling goes. Be mindful to keep the length around your ears where your eyeglasses would sit very very short. Otherwise, it will stick out over your eyeglasses. Be prepared to get this short cut freshened up at a hair salon every 3-5 weeks, as pixie cuts have to be well-maintained to keep their stylish shape.

#28: Brunette Pixie with Full Wispy Bangs

You can pull off a brunette pixie with full wispy bangs. Short hair shows off your strong vibe and is so easy to manage. One of the best ways to accent your eyes is to wear a full bang. If you want versatility, you can still push them over to the side or style them straight backward. So take the plunge into short hair and try something new.

#29: Dark Brown Textured Pixie with Fringe

Try a dark brown textured pixie with face-framing bits. Wear your hair framing towards your face if you have a fuller forehead and want to create a soft balance. Avoid going too short in the crown layers, as they may stick up where your cowlick lays. Your stylist can follow your hair growth pattern and head shape to determine the best length.

#30: Shaggy Pixie with Soft Highlights for Thick Hair

If you have thick hair, try a shaggy pixie cut with soft highlights. The beige tone highlights help break up the brown and give dense hair more dimension. Seek a stylist specializing in shaggy pixie hairstyles to get the best result. Use a style cream like Cult and King Style to combat frizz and puffiness.

#32: Short Choppy Pixie with Wispy Bangs and Highlights

Thicker hair can benefit from a short, choppy pixie with wispy bangs and highlights due to the overall feeling of lightness to the hair. The highlighted blonde lightens the color and gives heavy hair softness. It also enhances the choppy layers, which removes weight from heavier hair types.

A pixie haircut with wispy bangs is for women who want their hair full of feathery texture.

#33: Stacked Pixie with Long Side Bangs

A well-crafted stacked pixie with long side bangs works wonderfully for finer hair types. With the stacked effect it shapes the hair for fullness. The long side bangs are less layered to keep their structure on the perimeter.

Try a layered pixie for thick hair with bangs. Shorter layers help in removing bulk from tresses that have a lot of density.

#36: Messy Pixie and Bangs with Long Layers

A messy pixie and bangs help create a style with greater density and volume. If tresses need extra zest, a pixie hairstyle makes a superb option. Style the layers at the top with soft waves to form a movement and a tousled effect. If you opt for a spiky pixie cut with bangs, ask your stylist for shorter layers. Chic, edgy, and low-maintenance—what else can you ask for?

#37: Wavy Long Pixie with Bangs

Try a wavy, long pixie with bangs to heighten your hair and lengthen smaller face shapes. Whether your hair is naturally wavy or you style it this way, allowing this texture to unfold through the top of the head adds height and volume from the stacked effect waves produce.

When it comes to your wavy pixie cut with long side bangs, keep the fringe layered to get the full effect of the sweeping motion.

#41: Super Short Pixie Haircut with Bangs

A super short pixie haircut with bangs suits diamond faces, enhancing the cheekbones. Short haircuts with bangs work well on diamond face shapes because they tend to lose width below and above the cheeks. Longer bangs add width to the temples and emphasize cute cheekbones.

#42: Side-Swept Bangs on a Pixie Cut

A pixie with side-swept bangs keeps femininity to your look and keeps longer face shapes in balance. Adding side-swept bangs to your short hair will shorten the face length as the bangs fall across the forehead. This helps the face appear shorter and softens a structured hairstyle.

#43: Platinum Blonde Undercut Pixie with Bangs

An undercut pixie paired with a fringe is an excellent choice for women with platinum short thin hair. Undercut pixie cuts will make your hair look fuller and may help a healthier regrowth of hair.

#53: Chic Pixie with Side Fringe and Side Burns

A chic pixie utilizes side fringe and sideburns to modernize a classic cut. Soft but noticeable texture helps blend out the fringe, allowing for extra length around the face. This crop balances the best of both worlds: a short cut with the security of face-framing.

#56: Short Pixie Hairstyle with Bangs for Women Over 40

Try a short pixie hairstyle with bangs if you’re a woman over 40. Short haircuts tend to exude high confidence in women, not having to hide their faces.

Because the cut is cropped close to the head and face, this is easily one of the lowest maintenance styles. A styling pomade is distributed evenly throughout, and some quick finger styling will have you on your way.

#57: Copper Tapered Pixie Cut

Consider getting a warm copper tapered pixie cut if you want a new haircut that you can style both reserved and playfully. Very low on the sides and back, the top layers are typically cut with razors and different shear types to create dimension and plenty of texture.

The bangs can be swept to the side for a soft daytime style. In the evening, turn it up with hairspray, a flat iron, and some piecing of the ends to give this haircut a more edgy style.

#58: Pink Pixie with Curtain Bangs

A pink pixie with curtain bangs is an edgy yet youthful approach to the classic pixie cut haircut. Curtain bangs can be customized to frame features of the face and even be styled with wax to give it a piecey look or blown out with a bend to give it flair at the ends.
