Pixie cut – what is this haircut?
The classic pixie cut (“pixie” means “elf”) is a short hairstyle and is characterized by: the hair is cut short at the back and sides of the head, while remaining slightly longer on the head. If you want, apart from the hair, you can also emphasize the sideburns. The most famous example of a trend hairstyle is still the British model Twiggy.

8 Trendy Pixie Cut Variations
The classic pixie cut can be easily modified and worn even cooler as the hairstyle trend of 2022. Here you’ll find 8 great variations:
long pixie
The long pixie comes very close to the classic pixie cut, with only the hair at the top left long and heavily layered. It makes for a super casual hairstyle. The long pixie is easy to style and has always had a somewhat wild character. To get everything out of the hairstyle, the hair on top should have a lot of volume. You can use volume shampoos or volume styling products for this or you can tease the hair with a comb. Also good for styling: Apply a salt spray to your hair, which instantly adds more texture.
pixie with undercut
It takes some courage to part your long hair and get a pixie cut. However, if you want a pixie hairstyle with an undercut it takes even more courage, as here the hair at the bottom of the head is not only cut short, but also shaved short.
The transition to the main hair is characterized by a hard line. Disadvantages: You have to cut your hair more often so that the hairstyle remains the exact cut.

curly pixie
Even with curls, pixie looks cute and cool! It doesn’t matter if you already have curly hair or you’re using a straightener and love to contour the waves in your hair: The curly pixie is one of our favorite modifications of the classic pixie hairstyle. The hair on top is – slightly or slightly heavier – curled. Tip: If you already have curls, don’t cut them too short, as the hair will still rise up. Curls get a beachy update with salt spray.

ultra short pixie
As the name suggests, the ultrashort pixie has very short hair. Meaning: The hair on the sides and back of the head is already short because of the classic pixie cut, but now the hair on the top is getting shorter too. However, it should be slightly longer than the hair at the sides so that the pixie does not lose its look. For styling, apply some hair gel in the palms of your hands and spread it on the top hair.

Mixie Cut
When twisting the tables on a mixie cut, the hair remains long and frizzy at the back of the neck (like a mullet), but slightly shorter at the front and higher on the head (like a pixie). The hairstyle has a very rock twist and is a complete statement look. A short-cut fringe that falls over the forehead also looks good with it.
bixie cut
Bixie cut is a great option if you don’t dare to go for the classic pixie yet. It is more reminiscent of a bob, but is cut much shorter. Still, the hair above tends to be longer than that of a pixie. Another feature of the bixie is the multiple layers in the hair, giving a casual look and making the hair super easy to style.
shaggy pixie
The shaggy pixie is similar to the bixie cut, but has even more layers and is worn longer at the nape (like the mixie cut). The beauty is that this version of the pixie cut is very versatile. With curls and texturizing spray in your hair you get a rock style, giving the hair a more elegant hairstyle. With this hairstyle, the hair is allowed to live its life and stand out in all possible directions. This makes it much easier to care for the shaggy pixie. Summer Update: Wrap a long band around your forehead and create a boho look.

pixie with baby bangs
Back to the classic pixie (short on the sides, a little longer at the top of the head), as it can be updated with short tricks: for example, super short bangs (the so-called baby bangs). Bangs can be straight or oblique, fringed or, more precisely, cut.
Tip: It is best to get the fringe cut done by a professional. Der:der also knows how short a fringe can be due to the structure of your hair.
