60 Flattering Long Pixie Hairstyle Ideas for 2024

Cutting your hair short is very fashionable, but sometimes you want to add some length. A long pixie will give you a chance to try out this amazing combination.

While still shorter than most hairstyles, the long pixie extends a bit longer, typically around the ears or even reaching down to the neck.

Though it requires more upkeep than a very short pixie cut (due to its length), a long pixie cut is still generally easier to maintain than longer hairstyles and there are more options for styling your hair.

So, if you find it difficult to style your short hair, a long pixie cut can be your way out. Scroll this article to check out different long-pixie hairstyles that suit your taste.

Best Long Pixie Cuts for Women

A long pixie haircut offers a balance between the very short style of a pixie and the slightly longer style of a bob. Short bobs also offer this balance but short bobs usually require more care than pixies, so the latter is a more worry-free choice.

You can get a long pixie haircut by keeping long bangs or a fringe with a pixie. Here are some ideas for long pixie hairstyles:

1. Asymmetrical with Layers
