#1: Brunette Lixie with Feathered Layers
Ask for a brunette lixie with feathered layers for your next cut. If your struggling with short hair feeling too thick, ask your stylist to layer and de-bulk. The best way to style a long pixie cut is with a blow dryer and round brush. Style away from your face, so the front layer falls beautifully with your hairline.

#2: Layered Lixie for Very Dark Hair
A layered pixie is ideal for women with dark, short, deep-toned hair who want a fresh, stylish cut. This haircut brings movement and texture to your dark locks, offering a multi-dimensional look. The layers in the pixie cut add volume and shape and ensure the hair remains short. This style suits very dark hair, as the layers enrich the color. For styling your layered pixie, apply a small amount of volumizing mousse to your damp hair. Then, use your fingers to add texture by tousling and scrunching your hair.

#3: Visible Layers on a Lixie Cut
For older ladies with thick brown hair, adding visible layers on a lixie cut can make you feel youthful. Ask about adding layers that will lighten the weight of the hair. This will make it more manageable and create volume at the same time. The key to this style is having a balance between the layers and length to avoid making the hair look too thin or short. To style, a blow-dryer and a large round brush are essential to create volume and shape. You may want a mousse or a volumizing spray to provide additional body and texture.

#4: Edgy and Dimensional Layered Pixie
If you would like to change up your short hair, try a pixie with edgy layers and dimensional color. Ask for lots of texture, especially if you have wavy hair, as this will bring out lots of sexy movement. Be aware this style is high maintenance, as the cut must be maintained frequently. The color can be maintained with a Viral Celeb Luxury Colorwash Depositing Shampoo or Conditioner.

#5: Soft Ash Brown Layered Lixie
Try a soft layered ash brown lixie. A disconnected long pixie will leave your hair soft and feminine. Disconnection is helpful when you have thick hair. You will not have to spend time styling a disconnected pixie because you will have less hair. Softly textured layers will give you movement and separation. Using a half-inch curling wand with hair wax to separate the strands will give you an ethereal effect.

#6: Dark Brown Layered Lixie
A dark brown layered pixie cut for short hair is a great way to try something new and on-trend. But be aware. You’ll need the help of a hairstylist who can create short layers with skillful expertise. This cut has major benefits. It’s easy to style, versatile, and will add body and movement to your look! As a tip, talk clearly with your stylist about what type of layers you’re looking for. This way, they can deliver beautiful results. To achieve this, bring some photos of references, so both of you understand the end results.

#7: Hand-Painted Balayage
The hand-painted balayage provides a very lived-in and natural-looking blonde effect, even on darker natural hair bases. However, if you’re going to get very light ashy blonde toner your best option is to pick the foilayage technique. It’s better if you do not confuse the two techniques because they give different results. Make sure you bring some pictures to your colorist if not completely sure.

#8: Perfectly Layered and Tapered Long Pixie Cut
Try a short wispy stacked shag cut to create an eye-catching look for any face shape! This versatile hairstyle works with straight, wavy, or curly hair types. To get this chic style, my best advice is to ask your stylist for tapering along the sides. Also, ask for subtle layering towards the back of your head. Try to make sure you finish the look with a light-hold hairspray. Use Aveda’s Air Control Hairspray to keep everything in place. For a boost of shine, add Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray to your styling routine. It’ll make all the difference!

#10: Soft Feathery Layers
Nothing says elegance better than soft feathery layers. If you’re looking for an easy-going yet sophisticated style, a long layered pixie is a great option. Your stylist will layer your hair to the shape of your head. But will use texturizing shears or a razor to give the layers a soft look. The best way to style is with a volumizing mousse and a small to medium size round brush. Both will give volume and add definition.

#11: Side-Swept Lixie with Longer Bangs
Consider a side-swept lixie with longer bangs if you would love a shorter style but want to keep some length! Having your stylist use texturizing shears can help you add volume and texture. If you need to add a bit more volume when styling, back comb the top a bit and you’re ready for the day.

#13: Champagne Blonde Feathery Lixie Cut

The long copper pixie with sideburns is the perfect autumn haircut and style. It beautifully follows the head shape creating roundness at the crown and occipital area. It also enhances the cheekbones with the pointy and slightly feathered sideburns. To keep the copper color vibrant at home, I would recommend using masks with direct dye. For instance, Colour Fresh Mask by Wella.

When styling, don’t forget to use a root lift like Living Proof, Full Root Lift on your wet hair, or Puff.ME Powder on your dry hair, for lift and separation.
