#1: Short Soft Curls
Go for a razor-cut cropped style – it’s not quite a pixie, as it has a longer, softer outline.The shape of this very short cut offers ease of styling and is still versatile enough to tuck, part, push back, or enhance the volume of your curls.This cut is ideal if you have fine curls (or waves) and are looking to get more definition from your natural texture.
Styling is as simple as layering your salt spray of choice and texture-appropriate curl cream to suit your unique curl pattern, drying by hand with diffused air, scrunching, finger coiling, and molding it to suit your look.

#4: Short Brushed Back Chop for Older Women
A short brushed back chop for older women is a great way to wear a feminine super short haircut. Because there isn’t much length to create style, creating direction is the highlight of this style. Use a small amount of serum to blow back with a round brush to get this desired look without frizz.
#5: Very Short Trendy Pixie for Straight Hair
A very short trendy pixie for straight hair looks incredible and shows off all your features. A short hairdo like this is for women who want to be trendy and put together without a lot of maintenance. That’s what makes it so easy to style!

#6: Cute and Modern Disconnected Pixie
This ultra short cut is a new take on an old super short pixie. It was created by Mahri Jones, the owner of Parlor Salon in Richmond, VA. “Contouring the cut along the head is consistent with a pixie, but it’s more disconnected. This is definitelya tribute to a classic Mia Farrow cut,” explains Jones.
When it comes to very short hairstyles, embrace your face first. Know who you are. Start with a longer version of this pixie haircut to get used to it. If it feels too short a few inches long, then you know this is going to be too short for you.
“Beyond a light leave-in conditioner after washing and a texture paste, there is really no styling needed,” she adds.

#7: Grey Pixie for Women with Thin Hair
Embrace a grey pixie for women with thin hair and look bold and stunning with grey tones. Not only does grey hair change the texture as we age, but it can also sit totally different from what your hair used to do. The grey adds dimension to the locks, giving you a flattering, full-of-life style. Play around with a fringe, which curves the forehead for an extra cute look.

#8: Traditional Short Pixie with Edge
Give a short pixie an edge with the cropping in the nape and the texture.
Your very short crop should be tailored to your specific bone structure, features, hair texture, and hair type. These things are key when cutting short hair, especially pixies.
Most overly short hair is not wash-and-go, but because of the length, it will take minimal styling. Make sure you have at least 10-20 minutes to devote to styling. All of this should be taken into consideration when making the pixie plunge.

#9: Sexy Super Short Hair with Fringe
This sexy short haircut oozes classic elegance with an edge. It was created by hairstylist Camilla Dobbie of Vancouver, BC.
“The fringe has been heavily texturized to softly frame and complement the bone structure. It’s also a super wash-and-go very short ‘do, so it’s perfect for a busy or active lifestyle,” explains Dobbie.
Products can be kept to a minimum for this pixie haircut. Your daily shampoo and conditioner, a light leave-in conditioner, and shaping wax, cream, or pomade to finish the style are all you need.
“This cut is best suited for a confident woman with fine to medium hair texture, medium density, and a straight to wavy hair type.Women with fine to medium curly hair can rock this too, leaving it a bit longer and less texturized to prevent frizz and accommodate shrinkage,” she adds.

#12: Very Short Layers
Opt for a very short haircut with very short layers that are spunky and feminine. A feather razor can be used to cut the entire thing which adds so much texture and creates feminine, wispy lines, especially around the hairline.
This cut is mostly for an oval, square, or heart face shape. This is a very short pixie, so it bares all. Confidence in “rocking” this style as opposed to just “wearing” it is key. Very short pixie cuts take some styling with texture products such as clays and dry sprays to really show off each razor stroke.

If you’re ready for a big chop, go for it. Consultation with your stylist is key. Be mindful that you will have to get it cut more often to maintain your new short hairstyle. Pixies are versatile meaning anyone can have them, it just takes the right style of cut for each woman.
Depending on the desired look, you can enjoy low-maintenance styling or really get into your style with a blow dryer and Denman brush working it in all directions for volume and movement.

Creating a short, barbered look really elongates the neck and brings out anoval face shape.
This haircut is perfect for women with short hair and a busy and carefree lifestyle. The round layering gives you that head-hugging soft vibe which is very versatile. All you really need is a good texturizing wax, smoothing cream, or serum (depending on your style of choice) and you’re ready to go.

#16: Short Layered Crop with Textured Bangs
This feminine short hair cut is effortlessly chic and it was created by owner and stylist Danielle Easterling of Lanham, MD. “This is one of those short hair cuts can easily go from work to night out with the girls. This cut is also ageless and works well with fine to medium textures,” says Easterling.
It is very low maintenance and this length of pixie looks good on any face shape because the razor cut gives it a softer finish.If you have a rounder face shape, make it give the front a fuller fringe to slim the face.
For relaxed hair, Easterling says to use a good wrap lotion like Nairobi Foam Wrap and wrap strips “so you canmoldthe hair and go under thedryer.” Once it’s dry, take a small amount of the TGIF Wax Stick and rub it through the hair. Then, take a small flat iron and curl the hair for texture and shine.
This is a great style for all textures. Very short haircuts for women are great if they’re on the go but want a style that stands out. Make sure you keep up with your haircut every three weeks. On fine hair, all the hair will need is pomade and finger styling.

#17: Short Asymmetrical Cut

Such a haircut for short hair looks way better with a piece-y definition. To achieve it, apply a volumizing mousse, then manipulate the strands one by one.

#19: Extra Short Blonde Hair
This extra short blonde hair for black women was created by hairstylist Kanetra Jones of Atlanta, GA. “This haircut and style is very edgy and trendy from color to cut. It can be versatile as well because the cut can be worn spikey or flat,” says Jones.
To maintain this very short length, have a regular stylist to treat your hair first because of the color. At home, a good product would be a foam wrap for that flattened sleek style, along with an oil or curl wax to finish the look after drying.
“When it comes to styling your extra short blonde pixie, try the Nairobi Foam Wrap, but when it comes to curl wax, they all pretty much get the job done,” says Jones.
