A pixie cut with highlights is a short crop with streaks of colors for added dimension. Stylish and easy to wear—this hair idea is a fabulous fashion accessory that you can pull off every day!

Sylvie Prud’Homme is a skilled stylist in Toronto, Canada, who proves the pixie’s versatility. She points out, “The cut only needs to be executed with care and consideration. It can look soft and romantic, edgy and bold, and everything in between!”

Head and face shape, hairline, hair type, and texture—are the factors to take into account. Go to a short hair specialist to ensure you get a great chop and educate you on at-home styling care.

Highlights only look great in a pixie if done in very fine sections. Otherwise, they may look like the dreaded tiger stripes on a short-length chop.

If you have pre-existing highlights and want to try a pixie, get a shadow root to soften the previous color.

If you have a pixie hairstyle and want some accents, opt for a balayage to achieve a more natural effect. A full pre-lightening service is another option if going for blonde.

Pixie cuts require frequent shaping every 4-6 weeks. “In case you can’t go to the salon regularly, a longer length is more suitable,” says Prud’Homme.

Reading our expert guide will also give you all the know-how to pick the perfect pixie cut that suits you like a charm.

Highlighted pixies are best for women who want to show off depth and dimension in their haircut. A partial highlight that follows the crown, sides, and fringe is a gorgeous design. Keeping the nape area darker creates depth. And it steers away from a striped look with highlights going lower on short hair.

#7: Dimensional Pixie with Light Brown Highlights

Try a dimensional pixie with light brown highlights if you want more contrast in your hair. I highly recommend having your stylist add some texture to your hair. It’s better if your hair is texturized because it will be easier to style.

#8: Cute Lixie Cut with Blonde Highlights

Look super cute with a lixie cut with blonde highlights. If you’re going to test out the waters of a shorter cut, try a medium-length pixie first. Taking length off your locks will make your hair look fuller and healthier. A shorter cut is more maintenance, so you must get it cut every 4-6 weeks to keep its shape and style.

Instagram @giboazhair

#9: Brunette Long Pixie with Blonde Highlights

Get a long pixie with blonde highlights if you like your hair short and dark and dimensional. Ask for your colorist to add highlights rather than balayage to give you a better lift on your dark base. Balayage will also help you avoid any blonde at the back, the shortest part because it will look spotty.

#10 Glamorous Pixie with Silver Streaks

Embrace a modern twist on classic elegance with this textured pixie cut, adorned with silver streaks that enhance a voluminous look. Tailored for a mature woman’s oval face, the cool tones bring freshness to the complexion. A medium-density hair benefits from the strategic layering, offering a sculpted silhouette that frames the face effortlessly. While chic, the silver streaks may require professional toning to maintain their luster, and the textured layers will need regular salon visits to keep their refined edge.

#11: Feathered Bixie with Highlights and Lowlights

Feathered bixies with highlights and lowlights are dynamic, dimensional, and daring. Add character, dimension, and movement to a pixie cut with highlights and lowlights.

A brunette pixie with lavender highlights works great for cooling down overly warm skin tones. Combining a pixie cut with purple highlights can really brighten the tone and keep it cool-toned.

Utilize an ash blonde tousled pixie for fine hair to really increase the volume and texture. Fine hair is known to fall limp, so by combining an excellent ash blonde tone to brighten and expand, combined with a tousled style to keep it loose and volumized, you can keep your fine hair looking fluffy, light, and voluminous.

#24: Partial Highlights on Tousled Pixie Hair

Try partial highlights on tousled pixie hair to brighten up and add interest to a short haircut. Pixie-style hair leans more on color to emphasize movement and texture because shorter hair cannot have as dramatic length differences. To combat a boring pixie cut haircut, and make styling easier, simply add some dimensional highlights around the face.

Instagram @colourshackhairlounge

#25: Blonde Pixie with Dark Roots

A blonde pixie with dark roots is a staple color combo to compliment a short cut. Blonde hair expands light, giving the illusion of more volume and the dark root allows for less maintenance with color growing out. Add beachy waves for a perfect sun-kissed pixie hairstyle.

By adding natural volume at the crown and tight graduation at the nape, you can achieve the appearance of a more elongated neck.

Instagram @hairdressing.louisebrown

#34: Blonde Highlights on a Razor-Cut Pixie

Blonde highlights pop on a razor-cut pixie with side-swept bangs. Haircuts with highlights have an extra level of dimension and movement, and when combined with a great razor cut, the hair can seem to just naturally fall into perfect place with little to no styling effort. Side-swept bangs are a great way to frame the face without needing to put work into regular styling.

Instagram @kyyhowhair

#35: Pixie with Bangs and Subtle Highlights

A pixie with bangs is a great way to transition into lighter styles. Volume at the crown of a pixie helps hold the style and gives the desired shape of the haircut. Adding graduation at the nape works well to accentuate volume in the crown as well.

#36: Short Dark Hair with Blonde Bangs

The combination of short dark hair with blonde bangs is absolutely stunning on almost any hair type. A dark pixie cut with highlights added in creates a bold color contrast that can really make eyes pop no matter what color.

A pixie cut for oval face shapes creates short hairstyles that look chic without effort. It’s a great chop to show off your personality, whether you’re a fun, sassy woman or more of a sophisticated one.

Oval-shaped faces can look flattering with the majority of the hairstyles. The question, however, is what features you want to emphasize. Your eyes? Your cheekbones? Or a soft hairline?

Canada-based stylist Amanda Nicol tells us the biggest perk of a pixie. “Women, especially with fine hair, can get a ton of volume and shape from a textured short haircut like this,” she notes.

A pixie crop can also work well on a thicker density. The stylist must texturize and debulk the hair in the right places so it’s easier to style.

Having short hair is a commitment. Nicol advises being ready to style your tresses every day. She explains, “Pixies are easy-maintenance but require regular trims. You’ll also need lots of product usage to create shape and definition.”

Moreover, a pixie cut takes at least six months to grow into a bob style.

Choose a haircut that not only flatters your face shape but suits your lifestyle, too. Explain your daily routine to your stylist. Let them know how long you want to spend styling and how often you plan on getting your hair cut.

Hairstylist Matty Leadabrand from Los Angeles, CA guarantees that pixies look effortlessly chic. He states, “Long cut pixies are great for ladies who want to make a statement but don’t want to spend too much time styling their hair.”

Women must not be afraid of going short, according to Leadabrand. A shorter cut helps remove weight and extra bulk from thicker hair. It can also add volume to finer hair, making it appear full-bodied.

Avoid adding too much texturizing in the cut. “Having a more solid shape can help the hair look thicker,” says Leadabrand.

When consulting a stylist, discuss the styling requirement for your preferred lixie cut. Understand how much effort you’ll need to put in every morning.

Don’t forget about the maintenance. Leadabrand points out that “more frequent haircuts are necessary to maintain the shape of a long pixie hairstyle.” So, this chop isn’t ideal if you opt to get trims only a few times per year.
