Textured pixie haircuts can look remarkably different depending on where the length sits. These 17 examples range from soft, side-swept shapes to lifted, piecey crowns, with close sides and neatly tapered napes providing balance. The front, side and back views make it easier to compare fringe length, crown volume and color placement before deciding what to show your stylist.
