Sleek Tapered Pixie Cut

Added: 18 May 2026
Our model looks stunning with this sleek, tapered pixie cut that is slightly longer on the top for added volume. The sides and back have been cut slightly shorter than the top, creating a sharp taper effect that follows the natural shape of her head. This helps to keep the silhouette of this hairstyle tight and it is low maintenance. The top has been styled slightly forward and the sides have been styled down, this helps create the illusion than your hair is fuller than it naturally is. The top also bends in nicely, which gives the illusion of subtle bangs that do not cover your forehead but instead adds some height and texture to the overall pixie cut. Once you are done styling your pixie cut, you will need to apply some product to create the height and keep it in place throughout the day. This cut and style is best suited for both formal and informal events that you might be attending. It is a cut that air-dries well which is something you want to keep in mind if you have a busy lifestyle. You are going to need to trim your hair every 4-6 weeks to keep this pixie cut in shape and to help reduce the appearance of split ends. Overall, this cut and style is ideal for those with an oval, square, and heart face shapes. It is a style that can be cut to suit those with a round face shape but it is not ideal because of how the height in this look sits and the ends are shorter.

When it comes to your makeup application, keep in mind this is an open style so you want to ensure your skin application is perfectly blended into your neck and jawline area and keep your eyebrows well groomed. Finish off with a lipstick color that works well with your skin tone and you are ready to show off your sleek, pixie cut!
