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.
Meet The Expert
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 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. They 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.

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.
13. 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.
14. 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!
15. 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.

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.

19. Choppy Long Pixie
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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. Textured Pixie with 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.
23. Super Cute Tousled Pixie
A super cute tousled pixie is soft and edgy. If you want something fun and youthful, add a long fringe around your face frame. To have a tousled texture, you must request dry cutting into your haircut when it’s dry. Ask your stylist to include this at your next appointment.

27. Long Wavy Pixie with Wavy Bangs
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.
28. Cute Pixie for Women with Glasses
Rock a cute pixie if you wear glasses and 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.
29. 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.
30. Dark Brown Textured Pixie
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.
31. 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. Asymmetrical Pixie
An asymmetrical pixie with bangs is an edgy short hair cut. Getting asymmetrical bangs on a pixie adds a feminine touch to the short hairstyle.
33. 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.
34. 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.
35. Curly Pixie
Wearing a curly pixie is one of the best ways to embrace natural texture. It’s short, sweet, and breathtaking! To enhance the texture of such a short curly pixie cut with bangs, mist it with a sea salt spray. That’s good enough to give the curls a piece-y definition.
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 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.
38. Cute Pixie Cut with Short Bangs
A classic pixie cut with short bangs is flattering for square and oval face shapes. Its neat cut displays a strong, classy impression. Since pixies are easy to maintain and style, they are a perfect option for ladies who are busy most of the time.
39. Shaggy Pixie Hairstyle with Bangs

Discuss with your stylist the best length of bangs suitable for your facial structure.

A bold pixie cut with long bangs is done by sculpting and carving the crown area for texture and airiness. Leave a little length around the ears to keep the hair looking soft and feminine.
41. Super Short Pixie Haircut with Bangs
A super short pixie haircut 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
An undercut pixie paired with a fringe is an excellent choice for women with platinum-thin hair. Undercut pixie cuts will make your hair look fuller and may help a healthier regrowth of hair.
44. Pixie Cut With Straight Bangs
Opt for a pixie with straight bangs and texturized for movement so the crown looks piecey and edgy. The most important part of a short haircut for a woman is the balance between the shape of the cut and the bangs. Your stylist should determine the length of your undercut based on your face shape.
45. Feathered & Messy Blonde Pixie with Wispy Bangs
A feathered pixie cut with a wispy bang offers a soft look. These haircuts can stay fresh for a very long time. Get regular trims to maintain their shape. When styling, spritz a salt spray to boost its texture.

A textured pixie and bangs are for ladies with fine hair. For the girl with thin tresses, this cut can offer an illusion of a bulkier result. When styling, finish it with a balm to create separation and texture.
47. Brown Pixie Haircut with Full Bangs
Short pixie hairstyles are fully suited to women with oval face shapes. Bangs slightly break up the form of a bigger forehead. Opt for this if you have an active lifestyle and don’t have much time for styling.

A soft pixie cut works well on older women with fine grey hair. Ask your stylist for lots of texture and layers. These haircuts can be styled with a texturizing cream such as Cult and King Jelly to enhance the texture and add shine.
56. Short Pixie for Women Over 40
Try a short pixie hairstyle with bangs if you’re a woman over 40. These 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.
58. Pink Pixie with Curtain Bangs
A pink pixie with curtain bangs is an edgy yet youthful approach to the classic 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.
