The combination of a bob and a pixie cut isn’t exactly new.
Pretty much anyone who was, well,anyonerocked one in the'90s.

(Cliche, I know.)

As Spino says, “The bixie is heavily layered and textured giving it an almostshaggylook.”
“This cut is perfect for people wanting a chop without committing to the maintenance of a short style.
Its a fun, edgy, low-maintenance style that pretty much anyone can wear,” Spino explains.

Even then, come to your appointment prepared.
[For example,] ‘I like waves and curls with the bixie cuts.’
The texture in styling really shows off the expertise of the cut.”

The added context will make all the difference in getting a haircut you love.
Spino adds, “Good words to describe the cut areheavily-layered, textured, [and] shattered.
Pictures always help especially because this cut is very customizable, and there are many different versions.”

Also, keep length in mind.
For the bixie, it’s not one-size-fits-all.
This tousled iteration is especially cool with its lived-in feel.

And while most tucked-behind-the-ear looks can verge on twee, the crop’s intentional texture keeps it fresh.
So go on, show off that ear swag with reckless abandon.
The shorter length at the back helps create all that luscious volume and elongates the neck.

The multitude of layers scraps any dead weight for volume that soars to unprecedented heights.

Angled layers pair so beautifully with sweeping fringe that the blend is practically seamless.
High Volume Curls
This curly bixie is lush and voluminous.
