Having long hair can be a lot of fun – especially because there is no shortage of ways to style it. However, if you’re hesitant about getting a cut because you’re worried about being limited in your style, we’re here to tell you that’s not the case. Even if you get a super short pixie cut – which, by the way, is much easier to maintain than longer hair – there are still a surprising number of ways to dress it up and express yourself.

Think of all the iconic pixie cuts you’ve probably seen in your life: Twiggy’s side-swept pixie cut that made her an icon in the ’60s, Rihanna’s shaggy pixie in 2012 that broke the internet , and Lupita Nyong’o’s stunning Oscar pixie cut that stole the show, Emma Watson’s figure-hugging pixie that defined her post-Harry Potter style, etc. So as you can see, there’s still plenty of variety – even with super short hair.

Of course, there are different types of pixie cut styles that you should consider before chopping off your hair. “I believe a good hairstylist will cut your hair and adapt the pixie look to your face shape,” says celebrity hairstylist Michelle Sultan. And beyond the cut, there are plenty of ways to play around with your pixie to make it your own.

So if you’re thinking about getting a pixie or just want to freshen it up, we’re at your side.
