You just broke up or are making big life choices, and like all amazing heroines, you too want to start with changes to your hair.
May we suggest a short pixie cut with bangs?
A pixie hairstyle is cut short with pointy layers. Throw in some bangs, and you can make the pixie cut look ever-so-versatile. Blunt bangs to look edgy, wispy bangs to look French, side-swept bangs to look modern – the options are never-ending. And you do not have to be disturbed by tangles, knots, and styling your hair every day because a pixie cut looks good, even messy.
Celebrity stylist Khamis Maiouf says, “With bangs, you won’t look older and the lines and acne scars on your forehead won’t be visible. It’s a fantastic disguise for a broad forehead.”
Carly, a fashion blogger who had long contemplated getting a pixie cut, shared her experience after finally going through with it, saying, “I could finally see my face. My eyes were big, and I had a long neck, and the pixie cut showed them off so much better. The best part about it was probably everybody’s surprised looks the next day (i).”
If this has piqued your interest, keep reading to check out the top 42 stylish pixie hairstyles paired with bands to make you feel like a princess from a fairytale.
Before You Get Started- Pixie cuts need a lot of styling products since they are light and tend to bounce. Use volumizing and texturizing sprays and molding waxes to help style your pixie in a certain way.
- Limit heat styling every time your pixie is a mess as it will damage your hair. Instead, invest in heat-protecting products to keep your hair healthy.
- Trim your pixie every 6-8 weeks for a neat, modern look.
- Pixies are also a complex cut only skilled stylists can achieve. Therefore, research your stylist beforehand. Certainly, avoid giving yourself a pixie if you do not have the expertise.

Kaley Cuoco stunned everyone by cutting her long blonde locks and sporting a pixie cut in season eight of The Big Bang Theory. And she looked beautiful! This hairstyle is all about contrast.

2. Flicked-Up Bangs With An Upward Pixie
There’s no denying Rihanna has amazing style. This pixie, paired with a side cut, starts off as a mohawk at the back. But once it gets to the front, it almost becomes a quiff. The bangs are styled to match the pixie. They are brushed upward and add some contrast to the quiff.

Zendaya is so cool she even makes a bowl cut look edgy. Moving away from her natural dark hair, Zendaya flaunts a glossy golden blonde pixie with heavy bangs.

Quick Tip26. The Full Bangs Pixie

Michelle Williams is the queen of short haircuts. She has opted for pixies over long hair for the past few years, and they suit her perfectly. It’s almost as if she was made for them! The soft bangs draw the eye sideways and accentuate her cheekbones.
29. Colored Bangs
Everyone wants to try something edgy. The pixie itself is quite an edgy haircut, so how can you dial it up to eleven? By adding some color to the bangs, of course! This slight addition goes a long way in framing your face and flaunting your natural hair color.
30. Uneven Bangs
Uneven bangs are like that one girl in school whose style is so different that it can only be pulled off by her. If you have a slender or long face, this hair look will suit you well. It softens any harsh lines on your face and looks ultra chic.
31. The Neat Pixie
Many friends have told me that they don’t think the pixie cut is fit for a red carpet. Ginnifer Goodwin proves them wrong. A neatly combed pixie set in place with some mousse is a brilliant, low-maintenance hairstyle not just for formal events but for work as well. I also like how she blended the bangs with the pixie to show off her baby hair.
32. Feathered Bangs
A feathered pixie with some slightly flicked bangs can soften your jawline, especially if you have a diamond-shaped face. By tapering the bangs to the side, you can draw attention away from any asymmetric facial features.
33. The Deep Auburn Pixie
Auburn is one hair color that can be sported in all seasons. If you’re looking for a change from your blonde or brunette roots, consider this color to spice up your pixie. Those auburn bangs show off Carey Mulligan’s skin tone and eye color beautifully.

Scarlett Johansson has naturally dark hair, but she looks like she was born with blonde hair. I love how she’s embraced both these colors in this lovely faux undercut pixie. The blonde bangs contrast her dark tresses really well and suit her skin tone wonderfully.
35. Gradual Bronde Pixie
I love how this pixie starts off with short bangs that gradually get longer and become short at the back again. This gradual pixie is a blend between a bob and a pixie. When you have two popular haircuts, merging them to create a stylish asymmetrical cut is the next best thing to do.
36. Just-Woke-Up Pixie
Every woman wants to wake up looking stunning and her hair perfectly in place. With long hair, it’s a task that is rarely achieved. This pixie and bangs combo really outdoes itself. Now, you can wake up every morning with your hair looking perfect!
37. Thick Side Swept Bangs
When in doubt, go for easy to style deep side-swept bangs. They look terrific and frame your face. Moreover, deep side-swept bangs can cover a large forehead without hiding it completely.
