50 Super Cute Short Pixie Cuts for Your New Look

If there’s one word for short pixie haircuts, it’s bold. As women, we often use our hair as a security blanket. The longer, the better. But since we have so many trendy options (undercuts, designs, shaved sides, pastel colors, etc.) why not go for a bolder haircut? You can always grow it out if tired of cropped locks!

The short pixie cut can work for you in many ways. Here are 50 examples from the best hairstylists of Instagram:

1. Short Choppy Pixie Haircut. A platinum pixie always stands out with its cuteness. Let a few pieces hang longer in the front to keep it feminine.

2. Lavender Pixie. A really short pixie cut means you can definitely show off that cute pair of glasses or sunglasses!

3. Cool Extra-Short Gray Pixie. As if going to a super short pixie wasn’t enough, add in an all-over gray for extra pizzazz.

4. Short Curly Pixie. Bleach-blonde pixies are perfect for warmer seasons. Add a little wave and you’re ready!
