13 Unique Accessories For Pixie Cuts

Shearing your hair to sport an ultra short hairstyle can be extremely liberating. It can also lead to the occasional bout of short hair boredom and a rather pressing need to find new styles and accessories for pixie cuts and short hair. Let's face it: Even though having a pixie cut is super convenient in terms of styling time, super short hair leaves just a little bit to be desired in terms of versatility. You have smooth, textured, spiked, or hawked, and that's about it. Unless, of course, you opt for accessories.

While longer locks have a myriad of both traditional and trendy accessory options, pixie cuts present just a bit of technical difficulty when it comes to many add-ons. You can forget about having a whole array of hair combs and straight pins if you have a pixie cut. There's simply not enough hair to hold those babies in place! So, what's a girl to do when she's longing for visual stimulation but lacking in the hair department, you ask?

In the land of pixies, security can make or break an accessory. Finding options that adhere to your head through the aid of a bobby pin, headband, or clip is key. Luckily, there are plenty of beautiful accessories out there that fit the criteria. To get you inspired, here are 13 gems to make your pixie cut shine.
