11. Pixie Bob

A pixie-bob combination is one of the trendiest cuts at the moment. It essentially has the best of both worlds since it has easy maintenance from its shorter length and added sophistication thanks to the shape resembling the bob. While many ladies refuse wearing longer bangs with glasses, this graceful crop proves that a fringe can be rather balancing than overwhelming.

12. Layered Pixie

A layered pixie adds just the right amount of dimension and texture to the hair.  These layers give flow and volume to the look, while the piece-y texture makes the gray hair spark and delivers a truly rejuvenating effect.
