Women with Oval shaped face can pull off any look especially the bold pixie cuts! You can add a fringe on the crown for volume. Short fringes draw attention to all your features and will accentuate your cheek bones and full lips. You can either keep the fringes on your forehead or side sweep them on any side. If you’re looking for a softer look, keep the fringe longer.
2. For Round Faces:

The main aim for round faced beauties is to make it look a little more elongated. This can be done by adding height to the crown. A lot of layers need to be added to provide that required volume. For round faces, avoid short bangs, as it would decrease the volume on the crown. The back of this haircut is almost a barbershop style boy cut.
3. For Heart Shaped Faces:

For a heart shaped face, the main goal is to add height to elongate the face. In this hairstyle, a lot of texture is added to the crown to give the face the right balance. The sides are kept flat to keep the face elongated. Heart shaped faces have a wider fore head, so you can add fringes to hide the forehead. You can either keep your fringes in the front to highlight your face or side sweep them to make your fore head appear narrower. This pixie hairstyle is best for women having small face, striking eyes and high cheek bones.
4. For Square Faces:

If you have a square shaped face, then you have a strong angular jaw line and your face measures about the same from top to bottom and from side to side. For this pixie hairstyle, get a soft layered cut. Do not get a blunt cut as it would accentuate your square jaw line. Also avoid straight, blunt and thick bangs. Instead go for side swept bangs that are just below the brow length. Keep your hair cut just below the jaw line.
5. For Balanced Faces:

Beauties with a balanced face can go for a short bob pixie hair cut. The cut is short at the nape, while the top and sides are thicker for more versatility. This layered bob look with hair tucked behind your ears, looks like a short pixie. You can also go for short bangs over your fore head which highlight your cheek bones.
The pixie haircut works better on some face shapes compared to others. You can experiment with different layers and bang styles to find a pixie variation that suits your face shape. Oval faces pair well with pixie haircuts. For round faces, you should avoid short bangs, but lean into heavy layers. Choose top-heavy pixie cuts for heart-shaped faces. Since square faces are sharp, a soft-layered pixie would soften it. We hope this article has helped you learn how to sport pixie hairstyles for different face shapes. Pixie cuts are short and choppy, and they can easily go wrong. This is why you should discuss the pixie cut you want with your hairstylist, as they can recommend the best ones for your face shape.
