These variations of the pixie cut are ultra-effective for rejuvenating and modernizing the look. Original short cuts that highlight gray hair very well.
The pixie cut is one of the most effective hairstyles for rejuvenate and modernize a face. With her longer hair on the top of the head and at the front of the face, it highlights the eyes and camouflages wrinkles on the forehead or crow’s feet. Ultra-trendy in recent years, we have seen it on red carpets and on social networks, which can put off some people looking for a slightly more original hairstyle.
This is why we invite you to discover today 3 variations of the pixie cut. More original models that will give a lot of personality and style to your look. Good news, they are just as effective as a “classic” pixie cut to bring that “anti-aging” effect look after 60 years.

Pixie shorts, a shorter version of the pixie cut
Here is the ultra-short version of the pixie cut! The hair is worked with clippers on the sides and at the nape of the neck to create a gradual gradient with the strands on the top of the head and the front of the face which always remain a little longer. At the front of the face, the hair forms a tapered fringe that follows the oval of the face.
A modern and dynamic look that will be perfect for those who have thick hair or are looking for a short cut ultra-quick to format. If, on the other hand, you have fine hair, opt for a slightly longer pixie cut which will allow you to play more with the material of your hair.
