10 Outrageous Pixie Cuts and Color Ideas for Short Hair
Outrageous pixie cuts are all about trendy style – dialled-up to the max! They are designed to make you look fabulous and the center of attention for all the right reasons. And they include showing off your unique style and fashion-flair. Today’s new season gallery is full of the creative ideas of talented designers and their prize-winning pixie hairstyles. So if you like breaking all the rules and presenting a wild, but stylish image you’ve definitely come to the right place!
1. White-blonde – black roots – windswept pixie cut & color ideas
Long, sweeping lines create a striking, asymmetric line across the face that will break-up the symmetry of a round face and hide a broad forehead on a heart-face. And the windswept finish projects the image of a free-spirit, who has her own style and original ideas. You need to have medium to thick hair to get this look, as silky, fine hair would just slip out of place. The outstanding features are trendy charcoal-black roots, contrasted with palest blue-white around the crown and ivory-white in the front!
2. Platinum-blonde with disconnected line detail – pixie cut & color ideas
This gorgeous platinum-blonde shade, without dark roots, is softer and more appealing. And that’s partly because it makes the hair-color appear like the model’s natural color. But the clever stylist has undercut the angelic look of this trendsetting pixie, with edgy, textured tips creating ‘shattered’ ends. And beneath the long layers, the buzzed back section is shaped into an appealing point at the nape. Finally, the shaved line and disconnected V creates a super feature in a fabulous high-fashion short haircut!
3. Ivory-white with flame-orange tips – pixie cut & color ideas
Here’s a great example of how a tiny touch of bright color can have a fantastic effect on a platinum-blonde/dark roots short hairstyle. This model has a fairly prominent nose, so the stylist has created a nicely curved volume at the back, which draws the eye and balances the silhouette. And hair styled forwards and then arranged in back-pointing curves, like the long fringe and side sections, also helps to distract attention away from the nose. The final, inspired touch, is the vivid crimson-orange tips in line with the model’s clean chinline, making a lovely focal point at the side!
4. Neon yellow basin-cut – pixie cut & color ideas
You can see straight away that this model loves unusual style, by her trendy tunnel-earrings and dark lipstick. And contrasting style is obviously her thing, as her smart gray dress, is worlds away from her canary-yellow pixie cut, with orange roots and green highlights! But it all works beautifully, because shocking contrasts are fashion’s favorite trend. The face-flattering bowl-cut has a slightly uneven line and a definite, home-cut vibe, which is contrasted by the carefully buzzed nape. And the stylist has finished off with a high-fashion V-line traced at the back!
5. Straight & curly combo on brunette short haircut
Here’s a cute young look that’s not outrageous, but it’s here because of its beautiful cut. It’s an easy-care short haircut with sharp forward-pointing side-points that accentuate cheekbones and a fresh complexion. There’s a trendy contrast between the top and the straight back, which is daintily shaved down to the nape, creating a pretty curve. And the softly-waved, deep fringe and foward-swept top add volume, movement and texture. This natural look is great for medium to fine hair types!
6. Purple & orange details on vintage white Mary Quant short basin-cut
This is such a beautiful and interesting haircut and color. It combines the famous Mary Quant basin-cut from the 1960’s, with the fad for mixing orange and purple – from the 70’s. And with a gorgeously soft white-blonde color, the look is totally contemporary! It’s quite a futuristic hairstyle, with purple and burnt-orange placed carefully at the roots on one side. And the beautifully shaped, upward arc of the extra-long fringe focuses lots of attention on the model’s eyes and cheekbones. Great style for a heart-shaped face!
