Volume on top lengthens the face

Round faces look slimmer and more defined with short pixie hairstyles that have added volume on top, but no volume at the sides of the face. Ask your stylist to cut your side-points long and sharp, then style them onto your face and see how they add the illusion of defined contours under your cheekbones.

A full fringe shortens a long face

Long faces need a pixie with a long, side-swept or full fringe that will reduce the length of your overall face by hiding the forehead. If your face is narrow and long, choose a short pixie hairstyle that has added volume around the sides of your face, but no added height on top.

Soften an angular face

If you have a sharp featured face, you can add lots of attractive softness with a pixie cut that has some pretty round curls or waves that create a gentle frame and counteract any angles in your face.

Balance a heart-shaped face

You can make a wide forehead look slimmer by getting a short pixie hairstyle with a fringe that covers the edges of your forehead, but is styled in defined strands, or parted in the middle, to bring the focus into the centre of the face.

Keep the sides fairly flat to your head, so you don’t add width at your cheekbones and you’ll have a cut that beautifully accentuates your eyes and draws attention away from a narrow chin.

Highlighted short pixie hairstyles

Now that there’s such a wide choice of highlighting techniques, you can achieve any number of different face-flattering effects with a touch of colour. In addition, highlights are a great way to make fine short hair look thicker by mixing in two different highlight shades, which are just one or two tones different from your base colour.
