The Trend
Undeniably, the wixie is a haircut with some edge.
That explains why fashion risk takers like Emma Corrin have been sporting the style.
But the wixie has origins that go back before that.

The wixie cut is trending because I believe fashion and trends repeat themselves, Muniz says.
The pixie cut has always been a symbol of nonconformity, bold[ness], and empowerment.

I love a cut that works on people of any gender, and this truly does, Livermore says.
Also, changing up the bangs will help it adapt to various face shapes.
That starts with bringing a photo or two.
Educate yourself on how long it will take to grow the hair out if you regret it.
How to Style a Wixie
For those with wavy hair, Livermore recommends air drying hair.
Start with damp hair and pop a lightweight moisturizer in it, like Oribe Featherbalm Weightless Styler.
Arrange everything with your fingers or a comb and youre all set.
If you’re blowdrying, he recommends applying the same products, then blowdrying.
Texture will be the key styling tool for the wixie, Muniz says.
When you get the right texture in a haircut you barely need product.
