Pixie cut

The hairdo for women who think a Bob Haircut is too long, the Pixie cut is a crop cut, generally short on the back and sides of the head, slightly longer on the top, with very short bangs. It's named after the mythological pixies.

The most famous pixie in the 20th century, Disney's version of Tinker Bell, adds a bun to her pixie cut hairdo.

While considered to be a feminine hairdo in Real Life, a pixie cut is often an indicator that a fictional character is a tomboy; it's a low-maintenance haircut that doesn't get in the way of being "one of the boys".
