Longer Asymmetrical Pixie Haircut With Side Swept Bangs


Added: 11 Sep 2017
The sides and back of this short sassy hairstyle are tapered into the head while the top is longer and layered for a textured look and feel. The bangs are swept to the side to soften the face and completes the overall hairstyle brilliantly. Regular trims are needed every 4-6 weeks to maintain this shape.

Our model is working a long version of the pixie haircut here with fabulous results. This asymmetrical 'do is ideal for ladies like her who have petite facial features and a strong bone structure. She has a square jaw line which benefits from short styles like this one that bring the focus upwards. Her fine hair type works well with this 'do too as the layers add texture and body all over, and it gives her high forehead some coverage while framing her eyes. For ladies who like a stylish wash-and-go hairstyle, this longer version of a pixie cut is an excellent option.

Our model has fair, cool skin that has some pink undertones to it, making this light baby pink hair color ideal for her. Her dark eyes and eyebrows stand out against this ultra light shade bringing the focus front and center. The ash platinum blonde base is ideal for adding pastel shades on top such as the cotton candy pink seen here, and results in a subtle yet beautiful light pink shade. Since the hair needs to be bleached first to achieve this color, pairing it with a short haircut ensures the hair looks healthy and shiny after the color processing has been completed.

step 1

Hold the gel spray no closer than 3 inches from your hair and then evenly mist the gel spray into the roots to create a stronger hold style. Gel spray will hold well and will not look wet or weigh the hair down. Using your gel spray in this fashion will create added hold and a longer lasting style.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 4

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 5

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 6

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 7

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


step 8

Apply wax to your fingertips and then grip the right section of your hair from the mid-lengths and drag it in a forward and down direction for a wispy and textured result.


step 9

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 10

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips, then place it at the roots above your ear and drag it through as you pull your hair behind your ear.
