6. Textured Short Pixie Cut

“Aren’t pixie cuts already short?” You might ask. And the answer is yes, but this type of pixie cut looks short than the other types because of its short sides, back, and top. No fringe or any semblance of that. Keep your short pixie cut from looking flat and drab by spritzing hair wax or sea salt spray, then shaking up your strands afterward using your fingers.

7. Faded Sides

There’s no limit to your imagination when it comes to styling your hair, which means you can give it the faded sides hairstyle if you want to! Keep the top part of your hair long, so that you can continue to style it any way you want. You can style it slicked back, or comb it to one side. Whichever way you choose, this hair is really going to slay.

8. Green Pixie Cut

It’s time to be playful with your hair and green is a good color to start with. It looks cool and pleasing to the eyes, while turning admiring looks to your direction. Whether you wear your hair messy or sleek style, you’ll most definitely rock in your green pixie cut.

We can easily spot women wearing various colors on their hair, from brown and ash brown hues to pink and pastel shades. Why don’t we go for sultry black hair? The side-part can give you a vintage look while the black hair color can emphasize light-skin tones. Just add a few drops of shine serum and your hairstyle is complete.
