A short 1990s-style haircut might have seemed like a bold move not long ago. However, sometimes these changes turn out to be the most successful: the hair becomes shorter than planned, but the result exceeds expectations. The laconic haircut, once worn by Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow, is back in fashion.
What is bixi?
A bixie is a cross between a bob and a pixie. It is shorter than a classic bob, but longer than a traditional ultra-short haircut. The length can range from cheekbones to chin length, usually with a shorter nape and sides. The top strands can be left longer, gently falling and creating movement.

It is the natural dynamics that make this haircut light, “airy” and a little careless in the best sense. There is no desire for perfect smoothness here – on the contrary, the main emphasis is on freedom of form. It can be styled in different ways: from elegant to deliberately disheveled. This is a bolder interpretation of both a bob and a pixie at the same time.

Why bixi is relevant again
The return of the bixie is linked to a general wave of nostalgia for the 1990s, which is actively influencing fashion and beauty. The popularity of TV series and cultural images of that era has made natural, slightly “relaxed” silhouettes relevant again.

An important accent is color
A separate role is played by the shade of the hair. The formation of the shade should be based on the combination of the natural color of the hair and the tone of the skin. If the skin has a pinkish cold shade, and the hair is naturally ashy, it is better to choose cold tones of the blonde. They make the skin fresher and more even in tone. Warm shades in this case can look yellowish and “tired”.

Why the bixby is the main haircut of the season
Bixie combines several current trends at once: naturalness, slight negligence, movement and rejection of overly “perfect” styling. It does not require complex care, works well with different hair types and allows you to maintain your individuality effortlessly.
