For those of us who have fine or thinning hair, finding a cut that offers volume and style can be a challenge.
While we often see advice for thick, luscious waves, finding inspiration for finer textures is not always easy. But a few well-chosen layers and the right silhouette can make all the difference between a look that is just OK and one that sings.
So I wanted to share a few of my favorite pixie haircuts that prove you don’t need thick hair to rock a bold style.
1. Super-Cute Pixie
Transforming a pixie into a bob cut has to be my absolute favorite hack for thin hair this year. This look is truly a super cute pixie that just works.
The hair color compliments her skin perfectly and I am obsessed with how natural it looks. You would honestly have to look pretty closely to even detect that she has fine thin hair without any extensions installed.
2. Platinum Pixie Cut
Why call it gray when we can call it platinum? Going for a platinum pixie cut is such a perfect way to turn back the clock and look more 26 than 50.
It really gives the impression of having thicker hair. I think you could look so many times more beautiful wearing this cut depending on how brightly you smile.
3. Gray Perm Pixie
Once you successfully grow your pixie out to the size of a little bob, you can always style it into a perm pixie. Throw an all-gray look into the mix and you have a gray perm pixie that looks absolutely gorgeous on older women.
This haircut is definitely ideal for older quinquagenarians rather than someone aiming for a younger aesthetic.
4. Layered Grey Blending Pixie
This kind of cut will seriously make you wonder if the wearer is even in her 50s. The gray blending effect seems to work perfectly here because it avoids that distinct look that can sometimes age you.
If you are willing to spend a little time caring for your hair, this layered pixie is a solid option to consider.
5. Pixie Cut Gray Hair
Going completely gray is a very bold choice that this wearer was clearly prepared to make. Achieving this look involves removing all the artificial colors from your hair and leaving it to be a natural gray color.
Then you simply cut it short into an amazing pixie.
6. Short White Hair Pixie Haircut
Calling this pixie just short and white is only partly correct. It is honestly such a brave choice to transition from colored hair to an all-natural look.
This style could be considered gray or white depending on how you look at it.
7. Short Cap Pixie
Pixies were never originally meant to be long haircuts because they were actually meant to be short. I know adding the word short to pixie sounds a bit redundant, but it doesn’t seem too farfetched here.
Considering the shape of her face, the cut does look short but it is excellent regardless.
8. The 760 Pixie Haircut
This unique pixie looks just perfect for Belinda and is totally worth trying for every 50-year-old out there.
The hair looks a bit scanty from the front which does little to make it look thicker. However, it is a completely different story when you view it from the sides and behind. I love how alluring the transitions between white and gray look.
9. Pixie with Soft Fringe
If your main goal is to make your hair look thicker because of its thinness, this cut might not be the best one for you.
While it looks awesome on her, it is not difficult to understand that she has fine hair. That makes it unideal for someone who is getting a haircut specifically to hide that fact.
10. Blunt Cut Pixie
You definitely do not have to resign yourself to boring haircuts just because you turned 50.
If you are willing to get a pixie, it is a good indication that you are trying to make your hair look nicer. Getting a platinum pixie with a blunt cut ticks all the boxes and the alluring picture of the wearer proves it.
11. Pixie Cut for women with Square Face
If you have a square-shaped face, most of the haircuts on this list may not appear exactly as you intend when you wear them.
But what if you could get a pixie cut that is customized to match the square shape of your face without making you look less fashionable? Here is an excellent cut that truly makes your hair look thicker than it is.
12. Gray Pixie Haircut
If you are over 50, there is a very good chance that you have started going gray at some point. Getting a gray pixie haircut is a great way to utilize that grayness.
Combining that with a little lipstick and mascara will make you replicate her excellent look perfectly.
13. Pixie Cut
If your hair is not gray, you can go this route by getting a simple pixie cut after making your hair a bit wavier.
The hair could use a bit more grayness in my opinion because the darkness does not align with her aging face. However, if you do not look that old, there is no problem with replicating her look precisely.
