Everyone knows that pixie short hair requires some effort to upkeep – from regular salon appointments to more frequent washes. However, it also allows creating a unique shape and setting the right accents on your best features. One way to achieve that is by cutting hair into light and wispy feathered layers. Keep scrolling to see the 20 best modern feathered pixie haircut ideas.

1. Fiery Feathered Pixie Hairstyle

We love this heavily textured pixie that mimics outgrown haircut effect. If you are looking for a hairstyle that would suit thick hair without looking too bulky and heavy, this layered and feathered cut is the right answer.

2. ‘90s Inspired Layered Pixie Cut

A classic ‘90s pixie features feathered layers, an elongated back, and temples with a textured fringe. Whether you are a sucker for the unique aesthetics of that period or maybe just looking to add some body to your fine hair, this edgy haircut is worth a try.

3. Disconnected Pixie with Long Feathered Bangs

Short and tight on the sides and long and feathered on the top, this stunning pixie cut can give you an instant lifting effect. Those textured bangs elevate the cheekbones and bring an accent to your eyes.

4. Blonde Feathered Pixie with an Undercut

This blonde side swept pixie is cute and edgy at the same time. Soft, airy texture and a contrasting shortly shaved undercut make a bold, striking contrast.

5. Spiky Pixie Cut with Skin Tight Sides

While it’s extremely important to get your hair cut the right way, a big part of the look depends on styling. Use some texturizing powder and dry wax to achieve this kind of look.

Transitioning from a short haircut to a longer style can be time consuming and frustrating. The ‘70s inspired mullet cut is a lifesaver for that interim period.

11. Deep Blue Pixie Haircut for Straight Hair

Poker straight hair is known to be difficult to style but not when it comes to short hairstyles. The secret is in taking the excessive weight away by cutting shorter layers and making the hairstyle lightweight and feathery.
