21 Gorgeous Short Pixie Cuts with Bangs

Bangs. They are one of the hottest hair trends going these days. So, if you’re a woman who is big on following the looks that are popular, you should definitely think about getting some.

OK, but what if your hair is on the shorter side? The much shorter side. Does that mean that you have to forego rocking some bangs just because you might not have a ton of length? Absolutely not. And to prove it, here are 20+ ways that you can merge a pixie with some killer bangs in order to get one complete—and gorgeous—hairstyle.

Her make-up is definitely planning a huge (HUGE) part in why we like this cut so much. That said, if you’re wondering what wearing a Mohawk with your hair brushed forward rather than back would look like, this cut pretty much sums it up. You can see the difference in lengths much easier being that her extremely short sides are black and the rest of her hair is blonde.

As pixie cuts go, this is actually a pretty long one. It’s pretty top-heavy on the top and in the front. So much that she can actually tuck her hair behind her ears. We love the long length of her side burns and how there is a slightly graduated taper in the back.

Brown is the kind of color that is warm and inviting. Perfect for pretty much any hairstyle. And the fact that this pixie cut is basically a modernized bowl cut makes it easier to grow out should you want to transition into a bob at some point.  Plus, the side part helps to keep the long bangs out of your face in the most stylish kind of way.

That’s the only way this style will remain in place.

This is a great picture because it shows how one cut can be worn countless ways! A part of the reason why this one is able to have so much versatility to it s because although her bangs are pretty long (almost bob-length long), they are slightly asymmetrical. That makes it possible for her to try styles that are a bit more modern and alluring.

If this model’s hair was long enough to be a bob, then the back would be considered an “A-line”. That’s because it tapers shorter and shorter down the back. If it were that way all around her head, it could almost pass for a unisex buzz cut. The longer bangs ups the feminine factor, though.

That’s one of the best things about this particular pixie cut: the color. That and the fact that since it’s basically all one length, the bangs blend in nicely. The long sideburns are a nice touch too.

Perfect for after work.
