Feel like entering the new year with a bang? A pixie cut is a surefire way to make a bold statement, whether you’ve rocked short hair in the past or have always stuck to longer lengths. Below, we found six haircuts perfect for those ready to take the pixie plunge, from a piecey gamine style to a textured cut with bangs.

Shaved and Platinum Pixie

One of the easiest ways to maintain a platinum blonde color is by keeping your hair cropped short. Here, Kristina Angelina’s shaved sides and icy blonde hue keep the look edgy and cool.

Pixie Cut With Bangs

The hairstylists at Extra Silky took inspo from ’90s heartthrobs and K-pop stars for this long pixie cut with center-parted bangs. The androgynous style is a great way to volumize straight, fine hair.

Cropped Curls

A pixie cut is a chic and low-maintenance way to style natural hair. For a glossy effect similar to @natfertiti, we recommend coating hair in a shine-enhancing oil then styling with a flexible gel, such as the Matrix A Curl Can Dream Light Hold Gel.

Pixie Shag

A highly texturized cut with blunt bangs will amp up your hair’s volume and enhance natural waves. For a tousled effect similar to this look by Brian Hickman, we recommend finger-styling with the Redken Brews Cream Pomade.

Piecey Pixie

A long pixie haircut, with wispy bangs and layers, is a chic way to ease into short hair. It also gives you a variety of styling options, whether you rock a textured look like Jessica Abdo or slick it back for a sleek finish.

Sideswept Pixie

The longer your bangs, the more versatility your pixie has. We love the way Isa Salustiano wears hers with a deep, dramatic side part.
