3. The Ultra-Edgy Pixie Shag

2


For the daring souls who want to crop their locks while maintaining maximum texture, the ultra-edgy pixie shag is a breathtaking option. This hybrid cut combines the short, cropped back and sides of a classic pixie with the messy, multi-layered top of a traditional shag. When executed on wavy hair, this cut creates an explosion of touchable texture and height. It is a fantastic option for fine hair, as the short layers build natural volume and density that make your hair appear much thicker than it actually is.

Maintaining and styling a pixie shag is surprisingly simple. A dime-sized amount of matte pomade or texturizing paste is all you need. Rub the product between your palms and run your hands through your dry hair, pinching the ends of your waves to create definition and piecey structure. This cut is highly customizable; you can opt for micro-bangs for a punk-rock vibe, or keep the front layers longer to softly frame your forehead. It is a bold, liberating haircut that highlights your facial features spectacularly.
