Glitzy Fritzy, a YouTube influencer, shares how she styles her pixie hair, starting with wet hair all the way to its voluminous glam. She uses wax to mold her hair in any direction she wants. She says, “Second day is better than the first day. Second day, I wake up with it (hair) all over my head but this wax is in here [and] pretty much all I have to do is take some biosilk oil, rub it in my hands, and go through my hair (i).”

Favour Akinjiyan of Favoured Beauty says “A growing out pixie can give you some really flattering bangs. You must also take the shape of your face into account when picking the type of glasses you pair with your bangs.”

15. Layered Lob

A layered bob is the easiest way to add volume and texture to your hair.  As we age, the right haircut can work wonders in giving us a more youthful appearance. The hairstyles that make you look younger often focus on soft layers, face-framing cuts, and playful textures. I especially like that the top layer is a lighter brown, and it gets darker as you reach the final layer. It adds dimension to the bob.

16. Toned Shades

A light blonde at the top that bleeds into darker shades of blonde: this blonde dimensional look is ah-mah-zing! The light blonde locks soften the layers and help in framing your face beautifully.

17. Soft Colors

Blonde hair serves as a great canvas for all hair colors. And just because you have reached a certain age, it does not mean you should stop playing around with fun hair colors. This blonde bob done up in shades of baby pink is proof of that.

18. Asymmetrical Bob

Ladies, raise your hand if you’ve never wanted voluminous locks! I bet none of you raised your hand. All us women want are thick and luscious tresses. If you have short hair, get it cut in a graduated asymmetrical bob to add volume and a quirky touch to it.

19. Messy Pixie

Messy hair is an enigma on its own. So, it comes as no surprise that a messy bob makes for a killer look. This would be a perfect hairdo for those hot summer days when all you want to do is tie up your locks.

Quick Tip

It is recommended to wear round eyeglasses to match with a deep side-parted messy pixie hairdo and enhance one’s facial features.

20. Stacked Bob

Back in the early 19th century, it was a trend to flaunt a deeply curved hairline curve. It’s time to bring back that trend by sporting this stacked bob with a curved hairline at the back. The blunt bangs in the front will beautifully frame your face with the glasses.

21. Asymmetrical Wedge Cut

Whenever I see fine sand at the beach, I feel the uncontrollable urge to build a sand castle. The blonde locks of this bob make me feel the same way. If I had glossy hair like this, I would style it in a new way every day with lace braids, a faux-hawk, and what not!

22. Classic Pixie

The second I saw this image, it spoke to me. I have thin hair, and I had this preconceived notion that thin hair does look good when cut in a pixie. This hairstyle is giving me so much joy!
