20 Chic Pixie Hairstyles for Short Hair

The pixie cut is a super short style which is typically worn slightly longer on top and shorter on the back and sides.

Over the years, many celebrities – including Pink, Audrey Hepburn and Miley Cyrus – have made this iconic crop their signature style. Other stars, however, have simply experimented with the style and looked absolutely stunning while doing so. ANTM presenter, Tyra Banks, has even said that she notices people take her much more seriously when she rocks a pixie crop.

Despite being so short, the pixie leaves loads of room for experimentation with colors, styles and textures. Here are 20 of our faves.
