A short, shaggy pixie haircut works best for women with thin hair. It requires minimal care routine if you have slightly wavy tresses. Spray on a sea salt spray to secure your hair’s natural texture.

#29: Perfect Pixie for a Round Face
Pixie shags give an excellent overall shape without losing too much length. The layers/texture you see are previously cut in but just reworked it to further soften the layers from being too heavy.
The hairstyle is great for everyday wear. The graduation in the back already has a built-in shape, so individuals don’t need to worry about blow-dry the back too much. Most face shapes can be used for this particular cut. Although, take note that with rounder faces don’t take the front areas too short.
It’s more for mid-density hair types. If too thick and coarse, the hair may result in too much volume. When done correctly, this cut gives a really nice silhouette which can shape the facial features quite nicely.

#30: Best for Thick Hair
A pixie shag haircut is best for women with thick hair. Plus, it’s easy to style and great for growing out.
If you have very thick hair that allowed me to get a lot of texture with the layers.
With fine hair, you may need to do more styling to achieve the look and adjust the cut a bit.
Show your stylist the inspo pic, discuss your options, have an open mind, and work with a trusted hairstylist.

#31: Extra Long Shaggy Pixie Cut
An extra-long shaggy pixie cut is a great mashup of the early 70s and modern-day magic. The key to this relaxed style is to not overdo it. It’s ideal for medium-thick hair with little to no curl. Blow hair forward and round brush where necessary to give the long bits a little kick.

#33: Pixie Shag with Curtain Bangs
If you have thin hair and are looking for more density, a pixie shag with curtain bangs is a definite must-try. The choppy texture of the layers will help to create a thicker, more voluminous look to the hair. The shaggy curtain bangs can both hide problem areas on your forehead and help to create a more flattering face shape.

#34: Pixie Shag with Side-Swept Bangs
Try a pixie shag with side-swept bangs for the carefree and messy look while still remaining classy and elegant. Women who are more mature but want a fresh and youthful hairstyle would suit this cut perfectly as it is easy to style, easy to maintain, and has a lifting effect while still being relaxed and natural-looking. The side-swept bangs can work really well to slim the face and brighten up the eye area. Try using a soft texture paste along with scrunching to add some movement.

#35: Long Shaggy Pixie for Women Over 50
A shag that is a bit longer and softer is a great choice for women over 50 with short hair. Longer lengths around the face soften features and still give you a trendy appearance. This shape works well on fine hair and the shorter layers on top give you a fun texture. Try using a wax product emulsified in your hands then applied to the dry hair to create the most texture.

#36: Edgy Shaggy Pixie for Women Over 60
Edgy shapes such as the shaggy pixie, can be worn beautifully by women over 60. Short hair has so many benefits including faster drying time, making hair appear thicker, and taking years off your appearance. Try leaving the back a tad shaggy for the most relevant pixie. Styling is a breeze with a bit of hair wax added for texture.

#37: Shaggy Bixie for Older Women
A shaggy bixie for older women is a modern twist for that in-between stages of bob and pixie. Shaggy bixie hairstyles make an intentional statement that can be customizable per face shape and client preference. Photos of inspiration during a consultation will help to create a bespoke style.

#38: Blonde Shaggy Pixie with Dark Roots
A blonde shaggy pixie with dark roots is a rocker-chic take on the modern pixie hair cut. With shaggy pixies, there are plenty of layers on top – but leaving the hair around the ears and neck longer adds an edgy mullet vibe. A short, shaggy haircut pops even more with dimensional color so consider adding highlights if you have dark hair to really help this look shine.
