Right now, short is the new long. And if you want to talk short, it doesn’t get much shorter than a pixie! But a pixie is a pretty extreme haircut and it might not be the best cut for everyone.
If you want to rock a pixie – you really have to own it to make it work because there’s no hair to hide behind! The idea of going so short can be a very daunting prospect, especially if you are used to having longer hair.

Long Pixie Cuts!
It’s no wonder that long pixie cuts are all the rage at the moment. A long pixie is a short layered haircut that can range in length from just over the ear to brushing the shoulders.
Unlike the traditional pixie, a long pixie cut is not only a bit longer, but also tends to leave a bit more length at the top and front.
Despite it being a short cut, the long pixie’s longer layers allow you to style it in different ways to achieve different looks. And it’s a necessary way to grow out a short pixie!
So whether you want to go for a more casual look, an edgy vibe, or a sleek and sophisticated style, the long pixie cut’s got you covered.
A Note on Styling
Now if you are entertaining the idea of getting a long pixie, just know that it will require styling and regular maintenance to keep it looking good. Day-to-day maintenance may not be significant, but a long pixie is one of those cuts that tends to lose its shape more quickly than other styles.
So be prepared to set aside time for styling and for regular salon visits every 4-6 weeks.
We’ve put together 40 long pixie cuts that will inspire you to book your next hair appointment.

Edgy Long Pixie for Over 45
Show off your youthful spirit with this Edgy Long Pixie, tailored for those over 45 looking for a modern and stylish cut.
Pixie Mullet
This is another take on the long pixie, but instead of the front being longer, this version is more like a pixie mullet. It’s an edgy and stylish option if you think you can pull it off.
A short fringe is paired with lots of layers that graduate to about shoulder length in the back. Jaw grazing tendrils are styled in front of the ear.
This is a great style for those with thin hair.

Face Slimming Long Pixie Cut

This cut balances and elongates heart-shaped faces that tend to be wider at the temples. This is also a great cut if you like to accessorize with earrings!
Punked Out Pixie
Short sides and back paired with longer layers on top make for a surprisingly versatile hairstyle that can be punked out, as seen here with a daring color (and a whole lot of texturizing paste), styled casually or sleek and sophisticated when the need arises.
Low Maintenance Messy Pixie For Fine Hair
Ideal for fine hair, this Low Maintenance Messy Pixie offers a chic look without the fuss, perfect for busy lifestyles.
Long Pixie For Women over 50
As we age, hair tends to get not only finer, but thinner. Long, choppy layers give fine hair lots of texture and the appearance of more volume. Longer layers are also better at concealing the scalp if your hair is super thin.
Piecey, forward-styled layers and side-swept bangs add movement and dimension to fine hair. It’s a fantastic cut even if your hair is not thinning, but be prepared to invest in styling products to maintain this look.
Messy Layered Pixie
The Messy Layered Pixie is a versatile style that combines tousled layers with a playful essence.
Super Cute Long Pixie
Straight hair looks great in this side-parted super cute style that can work with any hair thickness. If you have very fine hair, a texturizing spray applied at the roots can give you more volume.

A perfect match for fine hair, this Messy Pixie adds volume and texture, creating a fuller and dynamic look.
Inverted Long Pixie With Undercut
This inverted long pixie with an undercut at the nape has side face-framing longer pieces styled in front of the ear.
It’s a great choice for those who love volume in the crown area and a bit of length around the face, but prefer getting their hair off the back of the neck.
The undercut removes the excess bulk of really thick hair.
Messy Pixie With Fringe
Add some boldness to your look with this Messy Pixie, featuring a striking fringe that frames the face beautifully.
Long Curly Pixie Bob
If you have curly hair, try incorporating longer layers. They’ll add volume, movement, and texture to your cut. Curly hair can create a whole host of dynamic, beautifully textured long pixie styles that will have your curls perking up and being gorgeously defined.
Just remember: curls will bounce back a lot shorter when cut, so make sure you choose a stylist that has experience cutting curly hair so you don’t end up with a shorter cut than you planned.
