- Blunt pixie bob: Here the hair is cut straight and blunt all around without layers. With this type of hairstyle, the hair is often a little longer at the front than at the back.
- Undercut pixie bob: As the name suggests, this is a pixie version with an undercut. The sides or even just one side are often cut significantly shorter than the rest, so that the top coat protrudes or hangs over the short sections of the hair. Since this variant is reminiscent of typical short hairstyles of the 90s, the hairstyle also goes under the name “90ies Pixie Bob”.
- Feathered Pixie Bob: This pixie bob is characterized above all by the fact that it has a lot of volume overall – not only at the back of the head, but also on the sides and in the fringe area.
