What is a Bixie Haircut?

Q: What is a bixie haircut?

A: A bixie cut is somewhere between a bob and a pixie cut. This explains the name bob + pixie = bixie. Before you can understand the bixie cut, you must first know what the two classics, a bob and a pixie cut, are.

A bob is an above-the-shoulders haircut. A bob cut is often at chin length and usually shows part of the neck, but there are also longer versions that completely cover it. With a classic bob haircut, all the hair is cut in one line and it often comes with bangs. The very short versions look good with an undercut. There are also special types of bob cuts, such as A-line bobs with longer hair in the front, graduated bobs with stacked layers in the back, and shingle bobs with an exposed hairline at the back…

A pixie cut is a short haircut on the back and sides, with the top hair worn slightly longer. Typically, the sides are cut above the ears. There are, however, also pixie styles with the hair cut into spikes over the ears, for a more casual appeal. The bangs of a pixie cut are usually short, but pixies can also have long bangs. A pixie cut is usually easy to style and maintain, but it requires regular trims, thus necessitating frequent visits to the hair salon.

Pixie cuts were popular in the 1950s, when Audrey Hepburn wore one, and then again in the 1960s when Mia Farrow and Twiggy went pixie-short. The hairstyle became trendy again in the late 1970s and the 1980s. In the 1980s, the pixie was often cut super short, sometimes with a shaved neck and sides. The cut was also very popular in the 1990s, and most people will remember the gorgeous pixie cut Halle Berry wore in the early 2000s.

A bixie is in fact a combination of a pixie cut and a bob, with bangs and long sides. It is a blend of a bob and a pixie cut. It is a sort of shaggy hairstyle with layers for texture. A bixie is a type of longer pixie cut that will eventually evolve into a bob. It is a hairstyle that allows you to experiment and that suits almost everyone!

The bixie cut is a versatile hairstyle, for women of all ages, and it can be customized to suit different face shapes and personal preferences. It is a low-maintenance look that doesn't require a lot of styling. To achieve the classic bixie look, the hair is usually tousled and styled with a bit of product to create a disheveled, textured effect.

However, the bixie cut can be styled in many different ways, depending on the occasion. For example, with a deep side part for a polished and sophisticated look. Alternatively, the bangs can be styled to the side or pushed up and back for a more playful look.
