A long pixie cut is a short hairstyle that’s longer than a traditional pixie, with shorter back and sides, and longer top and bangs. Ideal for women seeking a low-maintenance short cut, it adds volume to fine or thin hair. Stylist Torrie Rinehart recommends this style for its versatility—play with colors, add fringes, or try an undercut. Regular salon visits every 6-10 weeks help maintain the shape.
Tips for Choosing a Long Pixie Cut
Maintenance: Requires frequent salon visits and styling.
Styling Products: Use texturizing paste, wax, or spray.
Face Shape:
- Round Faces: Long, angled bangs to narrow the face.
- Square Faces: Long shaggy pixie to balance the jawline.
- Long Faces: Side-parted, wavy look to shorten the face.
- Oval and Heart Faces: Any style works.
Hair Type:
- Thick Hair: Needs more texture to reduce weight.
- Thin/Fine Hair: More layers for added thickness.
- Curly Hair: Requires maintenance and products; consider a DevaCut specialist.
- Wavy Hair: Embrace natural waves with proper styling.

#1: Longest Pixie Cut
There are many variations of a long pixie cut that can best fit the features and densities of the woman that wears it. Often achieved with the use of a razor, the best long pixie style can be maintained over the course of 4 to 6 week appointments.
#2: Longer-Length Pixie
Voluminous pixies are creative ways to show off one’s personal style. However, it’s the best fit for finer to thicker densities that are smooth in texture. This style is often achieved with the use of a razor by a salon professional. Maintenance by your hairdresser can vary from neck and bang trims to all-over refreshes. Colors can complement longer-length pixies with an edgy hue or a natural color to polish the look.
#3: Piecey Lixie with Sideburns
A stylish piecey long pixie with sideburns is an edgy haircut with an extreme texture that frames the face. The cropped undercut in the nape creates a ton of volume in the crown, while the deep side part adds volume to the fringe area. Apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair, blow-dry, and finish with a dry texturized for at-home hair care.
#4: Inverted Pixie Bob
When it comes to different types of long pixie haircuts, opt for an inverted pixie bob haircut because it’s a shorter version of a stacked bob. If you’re ready to sass up your sexy pixie styles this may be for you. Have some soft feathery side pieces cut around the face to soften the style and have the back stacked for volume and texture. You can wear it straight or curly as this cut will look fab on any hairstyle. An undercut pixie shows off the inverted stack in the back with the contrasting cut.
#5: Stunning Pixie with Long Bangs
I love asymmetrical longer pixie haircuts. This trend is a perfect way to have an edgy, short cut without sacrificing all of your lengths. If you want to go short without looking too masculine, this is a great option. There is so much versatility with this cut with long bangs. For example, you can wear your hair sleek and polished, full of texture and tousled, or have side-swept bangs. This is a relatively low-maintenance longer pixie hair cut without necessarily having to “look” low-maintenance.
#6: Bixie Hairstyle
You’ll want to try a trendy bixie hairstyle for its shaggy bob shape. Half bob and half pixie, this style is beautiful and lightens up heavy hair. To achieve this longer pixie haircut, your stylist will need to point cut into the added layers to create a beautiful textured shape. Be aware women with curly or super thick hair will have to work harder to finish this style. All you need is smoothing cream, a large round brush, and a flat iron that can help.
#7: Pixie with a Long Fringe for Straight Hair
Consider a pixie with a long fringe for straight hair to boost volume and accentuate the eyes. Remember, a lixie haircut is achievable by cutting the hair in the back to nape length while leaving it longer toward the front. Your stylist can customize this elongated pixie to flatter each unique face shape.
#8: Choppy Silver Pixie for Women Over 60
A choppy silver pixie for women over 60 is a go-to option for naturally fine hair. A longer pixie cut compliments any hair texture, especially when creating a style that lifts the face. If you plan on wearing a long pixie, ask for some point cutting in the refinement stage of the haircut service to guarantee low-effort styling.
#9: The Feathered Long Pixie Bob
The feathered long pixie bob has been a classic staple option among women who want to keep their options open and free. Ask for a lixie haircut with shorter, disconnected sides to achieve the pixie hairstyle desired. So you can blow it out, straighten it flat, and have all the fun you want when styling!
#10: The Low-Maintenance Pixie
Opt for the low-maintenance long pixie since it’s perfect for busy women. This long pixie haircut can be cut in a customized fashion with a triangular shape, so the hair flows from a shorter back to a longer front, swaying toward the eyes. Great for women with any hair type who desire a trendy, easy-to-style cut.
