These Shaggy Pixie Cuts Are Tousled To Perfection

The shaggy pixie is as no-fuss as it gets.

Current hair trends are leaning in a laidback direction, and we couldn't be more excited about it. Instead of complicated cuts that require time and money spent on styling, modern hairstyles are all about natural ease. With fringy long bangs that don't require work and natural textures in the forefront, shaggy cuts are having a moment. We're also seeing a resurgence in pixie cuts, with ultra-short hair cropped close to the back and sides of the head. Put them together and these styles are tousled to perfection. With low-maintenance bangs and short layers, the shaggy pixie is as no-fuss as it gets. Whether you're going for a long or short curly pixie, for a look that's a little bit rock and roll or something sweet and simple, these looks can work with any hair texture. And with minimal to no styling required, you won't waste a second fussing over hot tools. Try out one of these super-short styles and embrace a very cool season.

The Classic

This cropped cut by hairstylist Veronica Nunez is the perfect example of a classic pixie. A bit of wispy texture around the bangs adds movement to even the shortest chop.

The feathery baby bangs on this classic crop by hairstylist Alex Matthew Truong give us major Mia Farrow vibes. With a cut this chic, all you need to do is run your fingers through your hair with a sculpting cream or texturizing mousse.

Texture Two Ways

With curly volume on top and a straight, close crop on the bottom, this cut by hairstylist Veronica Nunez is party in the front and business in the back. She used a styling iron and dry texture foam to achieve all that gorgeous texture.

Wavy Volume

This cut is all about what's going on up front. Although it's short in the back, there's plenty of length up top with a major side part and wavy texture. This look allows you the freedom to style your hair as tousled or as sleek as you want.

Modern Shag Pixie

The shape of this fringe mimics shags of the past, but an angled pixie brings it into modern territory. Hairstylist Ashlee Norman gave this look a bit of rock and roll with piecey layers.

Wavy Undercut

Straight Across Baby Bangs

Hairstylist Cherin Choi did this cut and color job for actress Jodie Turner-Smith by adding some easy texture and coppery shine.

Asymmetrical Curls
