What is a bixie haircut?

The short answer

A bixie haircut is a short haircut that blends the bob and the pixie. It keeps the pixie’s short, textured crown and adds the bob’s length around the ears and nape. The result is softer than a pixie and edgier than a bob.

What makes it a bixie

Three things define the cut: texture through the crown, length that grazes the ears and the nape, and ends that are piecey rather than blunt. If the cut is all one length, it is a bob. If it is cropped close all over, it is a pixie. The bixie lives in between.

Who it suits

The bixie works on straight, wavy and curly hair, and on fine to thick densities. It is a strong choice if you want short hair with movement — the layers do the styling work for you. Browse the bixie collections to see it on every texture.

What to ask your stylist

Ask for a textured bob-pixie blend: short through the crown, length around the ears, piecey ends. Bring photos — find your texture and save the looks you love.
