Method 1 of 3: Wearing your pixie haircut with confidence

1. Show confidence with your haircut. When your hair is short, you have no strands to hide behind - your facial features are fully visible. To be able to wear the short haircut, you have to face your pixie haircut! Show off your short hair with pride and feel confident when you leave the house.
   • If you're shy and prefer not to be in the spotlight, a pixie may not be right for you.
2. Stick to your personal style. After swapping your long locks for a short pixie cut, you may feel the pressure from society to emphasize or showcase your femininity. Instead of changing your wardrobe, keep your personal style. Wear your trouser suits, baseball T-shirts and sweats with confidence!
3. Accept the tricky growth phases. Maintaining a pixie requires regular trims. If you're tired of maintenance or need a new look, be prepared for your cute pixie to go through some tricky outgrowth stages. Don't be afraid of the outgrowth process. Instead, experiment with new styles and different lengths!
   • If you've always wondered what you would look like with a short layered haircut or a chin-length bob, the growing season gives you the chance to find out!

Method 2 of 3: Style your hair

1. Soften your bangs. Creating side swept bangs or fluffy bangs soften a stern pixie. Choose which side of your face is the most flattering for your bangs.
   • If you have longer layers on top, use a small round brush to pull your bangs to one side while blow drying your hair with an attachment.
   • If you have short bangs, run a flat iron over your face shaping layers. Divide the hair into tufts with your fingers.
2. Add texture to your hair with products. Create a bold, perfectly tousled pixie cut with texturizing products. Put a little lightweight pomade, hair wash or beach spray in your hand. Rub the product on your fingertips. Work the product into the ends of your hair, pulling it up and out.
3. Change your hair part. Dividing your hair differently will completely change the look of your pixie cut! Try a part on the other side of your head or go for a middle part. For a whole new look, skip the parting and comb your hair back instead!
   • To smooth back your hair, comb your wet hair away from your forehead. Apply a small amount of gel, pomade or hair wash with your palms to smooth out the product. Now comb your hair back from your face.
4. Give your short hair more volume. One of the many advantages of short hair is that it keeps volume extremely well. Before drying your hair, apply a lightweight volumizer to your wet locks. Lift your hair while blow drying your hair.
   • If you're trying to achieve extreme volume, blow dry your hair upside down!
   • To create the perfect imitation mohawk, you need to add volume to your hair. After blow drying your hair, use a lightweight gel, pomade, hairspray, or hair wash to add shape and style to your faux mohawk.
5. Flatten your pixie haircut for a smooth, shiny finish. If you naturally have coarse, curly or thick hair, use a flat iron to create a smooth and shiny pixie. While your straightener is preheating, apply a small amount of heat protectant serum to your hair. Use the flat iron to quickly smooth small areas of the hair.
6. Aim for an effortless, messy look. To create the perfect messy hairstyle, apply a textured spray to your wet hair and let your locks air dry.As you apply a small amount of lightweight hair wax or pomade to the ends of your locks, pull and part your hair to create a tousled, patchy look.

Method 3 of 3: Style your pixie with hair accessories

1. Wear a thin headband. A large headband with gemstones, flowers, or bows can dominate your short haircut. For a chic, flattering look, wear a thin, flat headband. Tuck the headband behind your ears or pull your bangs back with it.
2. Wear a "Rosie the Riveter" headscarf. To complete your retro look, tie a colorful scarf like a "Rosie the Riveter" headband.
   • Fold your square scarf in half diagonally to make a large triangle.
   • Grab the left edge with your left hand and the right edge with your right.
   • Bend over and place the folded edge of the bandana along the hairline at the base of your neck. The top of the triangle should hang down towards your forehead.
   • Pull both ends around your head and over the top of the triangle. Tie the ends into a simple knot.
   • Stand up again, tighten the knot and tuck the two ends under the scarf.
   • Fold the middle point over the knot.
   • Tuck the tails away and tie a second knot.
3. Twist a scarf like a headband. A scarf as a headband is simple and chic! To achieve this look, do the following:
   • Fold the scarf in half diagonally.
   • Fold the scarf into a long rectangle starting at the tip and fold inward.
   • Take one end in each hand and place the center of the scarf at the base of your skull.
   • Pull the ends up to the top of your head and tie them in a knot.
   • Tuck the ends under the scarf or tie a bow.
4. Pin your hair in place with bobby pins. No hair accessory can be easier than the hairpin! If your hairpin keeps falling into your eyes, hairpins can help you tame your unruly hair. Twist your pony and secure it on top of your head with a pair of barrettes. Pin the sides back just above your ears to pull the hair away from your face.
   • If you don't want to make them stand out, use clips that match the color of your hair. Otherwise, use decorative pins as an accessory.
5. Wear a hat. Make the most of a bad hair day by covering your indomitable pixie with a fun hat! Wear a beanie in the winter. Put on a cloche in the spring. Put on a fedora in the summer. Wear a floppy wool hat in the fall.
