All About the Bixie Haircut
Whether you want to learn how to ask for this style or just need some inspiration, we’ve got you covered!
What is a Bixie Haircut?
The bixie haircut is a length that’s slightly longer than a pixie cut, but not as long as a bob. We’ve seen many celebrities show off this style recently and we seriously can’t get enough. This cut is most known for its layers, giving it an almost shaggy vibe. We’ve seen both invisible and choppy layers with this look, and bangs are often added to the style too. A bixie cut is a perfect style to wear if you’re wanting to go short, either slightly shorter than a bob or just don’t want to have a bob, but not quite as short as a traditional pixie. Also, this haircut is perfect for women who are working on growing out a pixie cut. We feel you, nothing is worse than that awkward in-between phase–luckily this style has your back!
How to Ask for a Bixie Haircut
So, you’ve decided you’re ready to dive into the trend and get a bixie haircut, the only problem is you’re not sure how to ask for it? Don’t worry, it’s easier than it sounds! It’s always best to bring photos as references if you have any, but if not, ask for a length just above your chin. You’ll also want to ask for either invisible or choppy layers. It’s crucial to have layers in the look so your style doesn’t become boxy. Invisible layers will allow you cut to gradually taper in the back and choppy layers will give it that shaggier look. It’s also important to note, to avoid accidentally getting a “Karen haircut,” you’ll want to avoid an angled or asymmetric approach. If you want to add fringe, short curtain bangs are a great option.
How to Style
One of the great things about this haircut is that it’s easy to style; you don’t need a plethora of products or time to get it looking just right. The first way you can style it is simply by blow-drying with a round brush. Start by rough drying your hair, so it’s around 70% dry. Next, use a small round brush to smooth out hair and dry the rest of your strands. For a soft, frizz-free look, apply a cream, like Suave Smooth Performer Anti-Frizz Cream to damp hair. You can then let your hair air-dry or you can blow-dry it after. If you want to go for a piecey, more grunge feel to your look, use wax. Bed Head by TIGI Wax Stick is one of our favorites because it creates texture and adds hold to your style. To touch up your hair between washes, you can never go wrong with a good dry shampoo. We love Dove Care Between Washed Clarifying Dry Shampoo because it instantly absorbs excess oil, giving your hair a lift at the root without any residue. Ready to try out the pixie haircut yourself?
