9. Choppy Black Pixie Shag with Piecey Layers
This is Look #9 from 45 Best Pixie Haircuts to Try If You’re New to Short Hair
For those craving a cool, effortless vibe with their first short haircut, this choppy pixie shag strikes just the right note. The cut features jagged, piecey layers throughout, giving it an intentionally undone look that’s edgy but wearable. With a textured micro-fringe in front and soft tendrils near the ears and nape, the shape keeps movement and softness all around. The deep black hair colour adds striking contrast and depth, making each layer pop and giving the overall style a bold finish. This cut is ideal for medium to thick hair textures and works especially well for oval, heart, and strong jawline face shapes. It’s a statement cut that still offers versatility — scrunch it up for volume or smooth it down for a sleeker look.
Styling Tip:
Use a light styling paste or cream to define the ends and separate the layers — it’s all about enhancing that perfectly imperfect shape.
