What is the AI Pixie Haircut Filter: Try the Viral Pixie Layered Cut on Your Photo?
The pixie layered haircut is the AI hair trend of November 2026: you upload a selfie, AI gives you a short, layered pixie cut with wispy bangs, and you post the before and after to see if it suits you before you go anywhere near a salon. Upload one photo and this template does the same in one tap, with no prompt to copy and no app to install.
The trend started in the Philippines in the first days of November, after a Filipina actress showed off a new short layered pixie and fans wanted to see the cut on their own faces. Nobody wanted to cut their hair just to find out, so they asked AI. A how-to by @dreamina_tao on 2 November was the first to pass a million views (1.4 million). The next day two more took off: @lisa602275's reached 2.1 million views and @farhanikeda's 2.6 million, with 78,000 likes and 35,000 shares. The prompt spread word for word through captions and comments, and Filipinos abroad carried the before-and-after reveals to the Gulf, Greece and Singapore.
The template runs on Nano Banana 2. It keeps your face, hair colour, makeup and outfit and changes only the haircut: soft side-swept bangs, feathered layers over the ears and a tapered nape. Run it again for a slightly different version of the cut. The trend videos on this page are credited to their creators; the poster image is AI-generated.
What you get
One vertical photo of you with a short layered pixie haircut: wispy side-swept bangs, feathered layers around the ears and a tapered nape. Your face, hair colour, makeup and outfit stay the same.
Pixie, bob or long layers?
This template is the short layered pixie from the November trend. For a chin-length cut, try the bob haircut filter; for other lengths and colours, the hairstyle try-on.
Which photo to use
One adult, face clear and toward the camera, shoulders in view, in good light. Use your own photo or one of someone who said yes, never a celebrity, a stranger or a child.
