A long pixie cut for full (or chubby) faces is a short crop with layers that helps the face shape appear slimmer. The cut creates chic styles that are easy to achieve and attract attention!
Hair artist Matthew Benson of Santa Rosa, CA, has a nifty tip for plus-size beauties who want to try pixies or lixies. He states, “Add subtle layers or side bangs to give the illusion of a more diamond face shape. This can be slimming and make it feel more soft and beautiful.”
Avoid blunt lines or trimmed edges for a feminine finish. The hair must hug the head laying forward to prevent creating that awful “bump” effect when styling the top.
If considering a longer pixie cut, understand that it requires more maintenance. “Be ready to get your hair cut every 4-8 weeks,” says Benson.
The key to a striking short haircut lies in your chosen stylist. Make sure they’re comfortable doing a long pixie cut for fuller face shapes like yours. If they think your preferred look is a bad idea, consider a second opinion.

Check out these images of the trendy long pixie cuts for women with full faces!
#1: Angled Pixie Crop
An angled pixie crop has many options, layers, and styles. Despite the many layers, ask your stylist for an evenly short cut, straight hairstyle.
#2: Deep Side Part Pixie Cut with Fringe
A deep side part with a fringe is a great modification for a long pixie cut, especially for those with round faces. The side part will visually elongate your face to balance out the roundness. Your hair type will also determine how short you can go with your fringe. It’s important to keep in mind that hair tends to shrink when it dries, so avoid cutting it too short.
#3: Messy Long Pixie with Hidden Undercut
Opt for a messy, long pixie with a hidden undercut. This cut works well for straight, fine, medium, and thick hair. It features an undercut and offers top-side styling versatility. For a chubby face, a long pixie cut creates a beautiful shape. The cut is longer in the front and shorter at the back. This creates an elongating effect for a balanced look.
#4: Brunette Pixie with Crown Layers and Bangs
With a brunette pixie cut, including crown layers and bangs, express your confidence. A long pixie cut with bangs for a round face is the perfect choice to slim down your features. The asymmetrical fringe that drapes over the cheek comes off as a flattering feature of the haircut. You’ll get extra volume in the crown with the shorter layers in that area. The tapered nape will simplify the haircut styling, and it’s recommended to dry your hair using your hands.
#5: Brown-Haired Long Asymmetrical Pixie
If you have brown hair and want a new look, try an asymmetrical pixie haircut for an exciting change. A pixie cut that maintains length around the face is perfect for chubby cheeks. The pixie cut showcases the chin and neck while disguising any unwanted features. The asymmetrical pixie cut is a wonderful choice for those wanting a bit of edge with sophistication.
#6: Voluminous Lixie Haircut with Side Part
Try a voluminous pixie haircut with a soft undercut and a side part for a new, edgy take on a short hairstyle. If you’re a woman with rounder cheeks, it may feel intimidating to try a short haircut. Fortunately, there’s an option for you that may be more flattering. Adopting a pixie cut for a chubby face can be a challenging style to accomplish. However, a bob with its slightly longer elements can offer a more flattering version of a short hairstyle for those with rounder faces. Lastly, try incorporating longer bangs to add fullness near your cheekbones.
#7: Feathered Long Pixie Cut
You’ll love the cute style of a feathered, long pixie cut. The layers in your hair will create an asymmetrical effect. They’ll be shorter on one side and blend into a longer length on the other side. This gives your locks an edgy, piece-y vibe. Notice how this short, messy pixie cut has length left around the ears, making it a great shape to soften up full facial contours. Blow dry with your hands or a small round brush. Use a light gel for added volume and control.
#8: Rich Red Pixie with Uneven Sides
Try the bold style of a rich red pixie with uneven sides. Hair should surround the face in edgy haircuts for round faces, even if it’s just on one side. Having hair hit your cheekbone perfectly slims your features. As an added bonus, a pixie is easy to dry with your hands and a bit of texture paste. If your natural shade is light enough, it’s fairly easy to achieve the rich red tone with a single coloring process.
#9: Layered Pixie for Chubby Faces
Ladies with textured hair, wavy or curly, are perfect candidates for angled pixies! Layered pixie cuts for round faces help elongate the face while keeping volume. Ask your stylist to accentuate your facial features, such as cheekbones or jawlines.
#10: Long Pixie with Short Layers for Thin Hair
