Bixie haircut explained: why we love this short, trending style

The “bixie” haircut is this season’s most talked about hair trend that’s been spotted everywhere - both on and off the red carpet.

Bold yet chic, hairstylists are expecting this short style to soar in popularity and we can see why.  Sitting between a bob and a pixie, the bixie haircut could be the short hairstyle and summer hair refresh you've been looking for.  “The bixie is a good move for anyone stepping away from the shag haircut,” says Syd Hayes, BaByliss ambassador and celebrity session stylist. “It’s also a great style for people who are growing out their bangs or are in-between a bob hairstyle and longer. ” Different from a pixie haircut, Hayes adds that the bixie can be paired with “a cool, razored fringe and layers with a little 70s flair - something that we’re seeing on the runway and filtering onto the red carpet, too. ”Whether you’re in-between lengths or simply fancy switching up your style, the bixie haircut is an ultra-flattering trend that can work on every hair type.

Here, the experts break down how to pull off the bixie and what to ask for in the salon.  "The bixie is a fun and edgy haircut that we will see coming through for summer," explains Adam Reed, UK Editorial Ambassador for L’Oréal Professionnel Paris. "It's the ultimate 90s hairstyle that offers the fullness of a short pixie and the versatility of a bob," adds Reed.  “It has a soft bob shape, that’s shorter at the back and longer towards the front, with a lot of layers like a pixie,” explains Ryan Forsythe, International Artistic Director at Trevor Sorbie.
