The bixie cut is everywhere, and it is easy to see why. Part pixie, part bob, it is full of volume, texture and movement, and it works on straight, wavy and curly hair alike.
If you are ready to try this cut, here is how to style it, with a little help from the right hair accessories.
How to style a bixie cut: the short answer
- Tuck and pin. Sweep one side back with a pair of snap clips for an instantly polished look.
- Embrace texture. Scrunch in a light mousse or cream and pin back small sections.
- Keep accessories small. Snap clips, narrow clips, mini claws and hair pins suit short hair best.
What is a bixie cut?
A bixie combines the easy upkeep of a pixie with the shape and movement of a bob. It flatters the jawline, highlights the cheekbones and brings out your natural texture, whether that is waves, curls or coils.
It is often paired with butterfly bangs: soft, sweeping face-framing layers that add a lovely softness. On curly hair, a butterfly-style bixie gives airy volume and a beautifully undone finish.
