It about time the bixie cut trend started to get popular; it deserves it! I’ve been secretly problem solving in my chair with this cut for years, so I’m glad it’s finally getting the trendy name it deserves. It’s the perfect length between a pixie and a bob, so you get the ease of having short hair without feeling like you’ve lost all your options. I remember a client from last year who was a beautiful woman in her late sixties, sat down and told me that she had been growing out the same bob since 2011 because she was so scared of going shorter. She sent me a selfie from the restaurant that same evening. This cut gets that reaction when it’s done right, and it’s so great to see the shift in people’s perceptions.
What I love most is that this type of cut is playful, unlike others. It adds volume to thinning hair and if you’re going gray, that’s a plus! The Bixie cut is great because the texture allows gray to look purposeful and chic instead of unkempt. It’s also one of the few styles where less maintenance makes it look amazing instead of worse. I have 30 photos I want to share that will show inspiration to your stylist, and yes, I do have opinions on all of them.
#1: The Asymmetrical One That Makes You Look Like You Have Somewhere Important to Be
I appreciate this haircut for its subtlety, and for a job well done. The asymmetry is interesting enough to not look like an audition for a play, and the soft layers create movement, giving the impression of being super time consuming, when they’re really not. Side bangs certainly add the most here, and if your hair is fine, this is a great option because the layers will give the illusion of more hair without the extra bulk. The color works, it’s warm and rich, and warms up the skin without being too much, allowing the haircut to take center stage.
#2 Silver Fox Energy with a Fringe That Knows What It’s Doing
I love how the colors blend together. People often mix greys and it gets muddy. Here it’s different though. The different shades of silver and charcoal are deep enough that you almost forget it’s a short cut. The fringe is textured and swept, so everything feels soft instead of harsh, and that’s the aim when working with rounder face shapes. If you have medium density hair, you’ll enjoy how this style holds up during the day. The way this looks now will definitely require regular maintenance because those layers will lose personality once they grow out.
#3 Curly Girls, This One’s Yours
Have you had straight hair for years, despite having natural waves? You should consider stylist Jeremie Kade’s pixie cuts instead. They help create movement and texture in the hair, creating a lively look that straight hair can never achieve. Jeremie says that the best pixie cuts hold the weight of the hair at the top of the head, enabling the curls to actually have some bounce. nnCurly pixies are incredibly low maintenance, so don’t even bother buying a bunch of products. Jeremie recommends maybe a small amount of curl defining cream on damp hair, and that’s it.nnRemember, the less you touch your hair, the more amazing it will be. Jeremie is confident that this is the haircut he will be recommending to the most people.
#4 Cool Girl Silver with Just Enough Edge
One side is shorter than the other, and yet it looks as if it has all been polished and not like you’ve just had an accident with the clippers. That’s skill. This is one of those cuts that looks amazing on fine to medium hair because the slight asymmetry adds visual interest where there may be less volume. The ashy silver tone is giving ‘I didn’t dye my hair this color, I was simply born superior’ and I’m fully here for it. Just know that the shorter side especially needs trimming every few weeks or it starts looking grown out fast. So if you’re not a regular appointment person this might test your commitment.
#5 The Tousled Silver That Looks Good Even When You Haven’t Tried
With all due respect, it takes little effort for a woman to appear sophisticated while grocery shopping. The cut includes stacked layers which really define the cut, which is an impressive design. If you experience thinner hair, you should know that this style creates the illusion of volume in the appropriate spots while concealing the areas that lack density. \\ Some styles may look nicer in person but not in pictures, and it can also go the other way around. \\ The cut may seem to be a hard combination to find since it looks nice in pictures and in real life. You’ll have to put in the effort to achieve that messy hair look, and when it comes time to wash your hair, make sure not to forget the texturizing spray.
#6 That Textured Bob Your Friend Has That You’ve Been Secretly Wanting
Bob hairstyles are one of the best options when we want to change things up with our hair, and it looks like this change is the best change possible. Talking about this haircut, one of the first things to come to mind is how soft and effortless the layers are. Of all highlights, this is definitely the most effortless. That said, we are not afraid of skipping a root touch up, and this cut is most suitable to avoid salon visits everyday. All these attributes combine to make the best choice for all our travelling clients as this is a set it and forget it style.
#7 Waves and Silver Working Together Like They Planned It
Many people may not notice this, but It really takes time to create such an asymmetric look to wave styling and placement. It looks effortless, but those waves are very intentional. Each individual wave is meant to create openings on the face and reflect light to the grays to make them bright instead of dull. This is especially ideal if you have thinner hair, as the waves really give a lift and volume that a straight style cannot. The only thing I would suggest is to keep a light wave spray handy to refresh your hair in between washes, as the texture really is what calls for the look.
#8 Effortless Except for How Good It Looks
For customers not wishing to spend time on their hair in the mornings, yet still want to look decent and up to standard, this is the kind of hairstyle I recommend. The waves look effortless with the light grey to blonde seamless balayage, which makes it look expensive. If you have thin to medium density hair, this will work perfectly because this style aims to create volume. A little bit of mouse with light hold on damp hair is all you need! This is the kind of ease we all hope for when it comes to hair styling.
#9 The Feathered Crop That Does the Work So You Don’t Have To
Try the feathered technique if you want to create the illusion of thicker hair. This technique works by adding volume to your hair and getting it to lift up and out. Instead of just sitting flat against your head, your hair will look fuller and take on a nice shape with the added volume. It’s also great to leave your natural gray hair as is. Not only do you get to skip the color, but you don’t have to do annoying root touch-ups, sit two hours in the salon, get foils, or wonder if you should embrace your natural hair color. The only commitment is that you will have to get a trim every four to six weeks, but that is a small price to pay for a great look. The shape around the face will also need to be cleaned up some more, but again, not a lot to ask for hair that works this well.
#10 Golden and Layered and Genuinely Lovely
What is it about warm golden tones on a pixie that makes it so charming? It seriously gives off a vibe like she bakes pies and knows when your birthday is. These layers are super nice, and they make it so you don’t have any stacking or heaviness, which is exactly what you want when your hair isn’t as thick as it used to be. This cut is smart for rounder faces because the layers create angles and dimension so that it doesn’t look too soft or round. You have to be really dedicated to this color though; warm golden tones like this will fade and grow out super obviously. If you are not up for salon visits every 5-6 weeks to keep your hair this color, then please tell your stylist you want something more low-maintenance.
#11 The Feathered Bob That Doesn’t Look Like Your Mom’s Feathered Bob
I feel real confidence that this is feathering done correctly. Feathering done incorrectly has led to us experiencing a number of very questionable hairstyles from the ’80s. These layers are modern and light. They provide a frame to the face that draw attention to the eyes and the cheekbones that, and unbelievably, do not look outdated. The color looks nice, but lighter shades require a lot more maintenance because roots show faster and it can become brassy if the right purple shampoo is not used. This is an incredible cut for fine hair, so you should consider it if that is your hair type.
#12 Salt and Pepper Never Looked This Deliberate
I admire the embrace of gray hair; it appears that the cut is a deliberate decision to lean into it. The texture is really doing a lot; it is polished without styling, and the shape is clean enough that the cut looks great. Those layers give the illusion of thinning hair being fuller than it actually is. You’ll need to get regular trims and that’s the only maintenance you’re signed up for because the color takes care of itself. For those who have previously covered their gray hair, think of the money that can be redirected from that monthly expense.
#13 Soft Layers with a Silver Balayage That Actually Looks Expensive
Demanding for a colorist’s phone number seems extreme, but I am definitely interested in who this woman’s colorist is because the silver balayage is phenomenal. Every single section is deliberate and perfectly executed. It looks as if the client has an abundance of hair even though the colorist has worked with fine hair, and this is due to the colorist’s excellent understanding of layered dimension. The cut is also pretty standard and just a pixie with some length and movement added in, but the entire look definitely meets commercial standards. The only downside is that it is now impossible for anyone else to have this hair because it is so good. In all seriousness though, it is absolutely perfect, and the stylist deserves this look.
#14 Ash Blonde Perfection for the Low-Key Glamorous
While this cut can go wrong if the layers are too uniform or the bangs are too blunt, this cut is not that version. The clever texturing is gentle lifts and adds volume to the hair without making it look choppy or overdone. The side-swept bangs blend into the rest of the style so seamlessly, you hardly notice them as bangs. Instead, they just become another part of the whole shape. Those with cooler skin undertones will be beautifully complemented by the ash blonde. However, ash tones tend to go yellow easily, so make sure to invest in a good toning shampoo and use it religiously.
#15 Sleek Silver with Bangs That Are Actually Flattering
Some clients are scared of bangs. I remember one client told me that she had an unfortunate haircut in 2003. It is understandable. But I promise you these bangs will not give you any emotional trauma. Instead these bangs are going to be created to be softer, more delicate, and will blend into the pixie cut. The picie will grace the cut bangs and not give you that line that crosses your forehead and makes people look anger and uncomfortable. The silver will not wash you out but will still match your skin tone. However, be warned silver will turn warm so tone it regularly. If you are committed to it you will have a look that is always chic The cut will need to be shaped every month.
#16 Tousled and Highlighted and Not Trying Too Hard
This haircut looks as if she walked in, her stylist sprinkled some magic dust for 20 minutes, and she walked out. The shorter layers around her face lift her cheekbones while the longer, tousled pieces in the back soften the look. The highlights look as if she just woke up, and for this reason, they are fantastic. This style works especially well with heart and oval faces, but the layers are versatile enough for most. The volume will deflate slightly between washes, so dry shampoo will become am inevitable part of this look.
#17 The Ash Blonde Bob That Proves Less Is More
A hairstyle can look good if the hair is styled into place or if it looks naturally styled. I personally, usually like it to look styled. There are enough layers to give it some texture without looking messy, and the balayage is done so that it looks like an integrated color service. If you have fine hair, the hairstyle will feel light. Nobody wants a bob that is just flat whatever is under your head. If you want it to keep looking good, you should keep getting trims because the layers need to be maintained.
#18 The Textured Lob for When You’re Not Ready to Go Full Short
It’s completely understandable if you aren’t ready to go for the big chop, and this textured lob gives you the peace of mind to do so. You still get the essence of the pixie while being able to get that hair up in a tiny ponytail if need be. For fine to medium hair, the layered ends help add some movement and life back into your hair. Warm highlights add some dimension so the color doesn’t fall flat and monotonous. Not to mention, this length really is flattering on everyone and I don’t say that often because it tends to be the case that “flattering for everyone” means “not flattering for anyone in particular,” but the proportions make it work across different face shapes. Some styling effort is needed to keep up the texture, so be sure to grab your texturizing paste.
#19 Silver Bob with Bangs That Frame Everything Perfectly
I know pops for the length and the bangs, because these types of bangs and bob lengths can look very helmet-y very quickly, and this avoids that completely. The texture helps the look be soft and not too stiff or overly polished, while the length being just above the chin hits that sweet spot where it helps elongate the neck without making you feel like you lost a lot of hair. The fine density actually helps here because it gives the whole thing a lightness that would be more difficult for the same cut with thicker hair. If you want to boost the shine factor, a gloss treatment every few weeks will make this silver really pop.
#20 Short Silver Layers That Move Like They Mean It
The dark roots showing through are so clever, providing dimension at the top where it is needed so the silver doesn’t look flat and one dimensional. The layers are painted softly enough to allow movement, but structured enough to hold a shape, which is the whole game with pixie cuts on fine hair. This is a wash and go for the most part, you may rake some lightweight styling cream through it while it is damp and then literally forget about it until tomorrow. I wish more of my clients understood that sometimes the best thing you can do for your hair is to leave it alone.
#21 Auburn Pixie That Warms Up Everything Around It
No foundation, regardless of cost, can do what this color is doing for her complexion. And this is exactly the case made for warm auburn if playing safe with neutrals. The hair is long and wavy, and not curly, which is very soft and stops the hair from becoming sharp and severe. The hair length is purposeful to hit the face at the level of the cheekbones. For those with fine/ thinning hair, the waves give volume that straight styles do not. A tiny bit of texturising cream and you’re all set. That’s the effort level I think people should be aiming for.
#22: Warm Highlights on a Bixie That Gets the Balance Right
The cuts layers are textbook, and I mean that in a good way. Though often it can mean boring, in this case, it means it’s just literally technically great. The warm highlights are woven through the layers creating soft movement and depth and not looking stripy or overdone, which is something not many colorists seem to pull off. If you have fine to medium hair, this is going to give you body and visual fullness that you’ll love to look at in the hair. Both color and cut require considerable upkeep to stay looking this sharp, but if you are a regular appointment keeper, this is a very worthwhile look to go for.
#23: Choppy Silver Waves with That Lived-In Look
This cut would have less depth and visual interest with a gray single-process than the combination of silver and dark colors. The choppy layers capture light at different angles. All of this means the cut is not too editorial or sharp. You don’t want to look like you’re at a photoshoot at 2pm. The cut is mostly forgiving when growing out, which is something I rarely say with short styles. You might survive if you have that tendency to skip appointments. A little product in your damp hair is all you need to maintain some slight waves if that’s what you want.
#24 Silver Bixie with the Kind of Elegance That Doesn’t Need to Announce Itself
I really like how this haircut shows quiet confidence; it shows it is not trying to be loud and trendy. The cut and execution have enough merit to support its existence. The soft layers create movement without be fining hair look to thin, and the medium short length hits that spot where it feels polished enough for a nice dinner but casual enough for a Saturday morning farmer’s market. If you are growing out your gray and looking for a cut that makes the transition look intentional and not neglected, this is the one to show your stylist. It does need some styling in the morning, but this is not the kind of look that needs heat tools or anything that takes more than five minutes.
#25: Soft Curls on a Bixie That Has Range
This style’s curls are really nice with the gray tones, as they seem to show off different areas that a blunt cut wouldn’t. For example, it adds a lot of dimension to the hair with no color other than what is naturally there. Hair that grazes the collarbone is always a sweet spot as it keeps the curls nice and weighed down but still looks shorter and more modern. If you have naturally wavy hair at all, this is the look you should go for, as this cut works with your natural texture. It will realistically be a pretty low maintenance style and maybe on day two you’ll need to use a curl spray to define things, but this look is still effortless and pretty and will still look great.
#26: Layered and Polished Without Looking Like You’re Going to a Board Meeting
This style offers a blend of neatness and informality. The layers look structured, and the face-framing curls give it a softer and more fun feel compared to a corporate style cut. The length is deliberately cut to sit just below the jaw which is flattering because it draws the eye down, making the neck appear longer, and this is a detail that makes a difference. Fine hair will work best for this style because the layers will add shape without added bulk. Minimal heat styling is encouraged as the look will be best with soft natural movement.
#27: Textured Volume Without the Helmet Effect
The crown area has amazing volume, and I need to expand on that because a lot of women request volume, and what ends up happening is they get a height that seems completely disconnected from the rest of the cut and looks like a separate entity living on the top of their head. This completely avoids that because the layers are graduated so the volume builds and balances with the rest of the shape. The side-swept bangs add the finishing touch by keeping the framing soft and not making the whole look too structured. If your hair has any sort of natural wave, you will appreciate how the texture is preserved in these layers. No more than three minutes to keep the volume in the right place, and it does take a little daily maintenance.
#28: Subtle Waves on a Bixie That Does Its Job Quietly
A great haircut is hard to explain, but people just know it stands out. The subtle waves look natural and will not appear to have been curled that day. The face-framing layers are softly blended, so they won’t drive you to emergency appointments, and will help you get through the awkward mullet stage that causes so many to book quick appointments. This cut will create ample fullness for fine to medium density hair. The cut does most of the work, but if you want to enhance the waves, you might want to use a light styling product and some sea salt spray.
#29: Classic Silver Bixie for the Woman Who Knows Exactly What She Wants
I can tell from the haircut that the owner sat down in the chair and explained what they wanted and got just that because the precision shows great communication all around and the cut matches the client’s vision. Although the hair texture is not an amorphous blob, the soft layers create good variation in the length. The hair length keeps the cut feminine without crossing into territory that is too young or too trendy. Straight, fine hair can create a limp effect in the cut, but in this case, the volume is created at the crown which makes the hair appear thicker at the crown, but keeps the sides less voluminous. I can tell from the cut that the owner is using good quality hair care products to keep the hair healthy and its nice silvery color is definitely being taken care of to keep the shine. To maintain the cut, some regular styling effort is needed and this cut is definitely for someone who is going to appreciate the look of the haircut and work on it whether that be giving a few of their time in the mornings.
#30: Feathered Silver Layers That Actually Look Modern
Feathering on silver hair can look good or bad, but fortunately, this trend is a good one! With fine hair, the feathering gives the look much more volume than it actually has. With the silver hair, it looks like there was some great toner used, or there’s amazing genetics at play. The length frames the face perfectly and doesn’t close it off, which is great. When styling shorter hair, it’s the right amount of room. From the whole list, this is the easiest and lowest maintenance option. The color and structure are both low maintenance and really forgiving. If you want something stunning that doesn’t take up your time, here it is!
#31: Platinum Texture That Looks Better Slightly Messy
I love the platinum shade on this. It’s bright and beautiful, and its great at brightening up the complexion. The subtle layering is really impressive, and the movement and body they create is amazing! The length sits just below the jawline. This is super versatile, and gives enough to play with without being high maintenance. This is such a great cut for all hair types. Fine hair really thrives here because nothing is weighing it down, and to get a tousled look with nice movement, all you have to do is throw in some product and use your fingers. It’s not a full blow out situation!
#32: Soft Volume That Looks Like It Happened Naturally
The cutting technique adds apparent volume to the hair. I like how the stylist mastered layering according to the hair density and texture. The shape is soft and rounded creating a lovely silhouette that looks amazing in a formal outfit or if you are just wearing loungewear. Straight hair is an advantage in this case as the layers provide movement that the texture would not do. There are so many styles to do depending on what mood you are in. You won’t get that with shorter, structured cuts. The upkeep is worth it to keep everything looking good.
#33: Subtle Layers and Bangs That Flow Into Each Other Seamlessly
The way the different layers blend together is really remarkable; it looks throughout like they are different parts, and instead, integrate into the overall shape of the haircut which gives it an extremely natural look. This works especially well for fine hair since you get the face-framing benefits of bangs without that heavy line of hair across the forehead that can make the hair feel really thin. Layers also tend to bring out and encourage any natural waves or curls that you have so if you are someone who prefers a less textured look, you won’t have any need to use a curling iron. The overall look has a sort of nonchalant vibe to it that gives off the impression that this woman is too busy to be bothered with her hair, but in reality, it looks fantastic. This look is low maintenance, and won’t require much upkeep aside from the occasional trim to maintain the shape of the layers.
#34: Gentle Bangs on a Bixie That Feels Approachable
The softness in the bangs and the entire look of this hairstyle is just so nice! There is something without harshness or edginess about this look that just screams friendly. I love how this cut allows someone to be their true self, just slightly more put together. I’ve found that this is exactly what my clients seem to want. For fine hair, the medium length cut is just right as it adds body and the layers allow for more movement than just a standard dull cut. Bangs are one of those things where there can be too much or too little, but with this style, it’s perfect. When it comes to texture, messy hair is more than worth it to achieve the desired style. If you want that real shower look, then this isn’t the car for you, but it’s a great look. You’ll appreciate the effort that goes into this car as you’ll be sure to get a lot of compliments.
#35: Burgundy Bixie That Actually Has Personality
I appreciate when a client says, “Give me a color that makes people look at me!” because I love this client’s energy, and I think this burgundy will match that energy. I also like how the fabric has subtle structure that makes a smooth clean line from the back and a little more form from the back. The front layers are textured, which keeps the whole look from being too buttoned up or stiff. The entire look is rich enough that if you even chose to wear a t-shirt underneath, you’d still feel like you really dressed up. Ideally, fine to medium hair is best because the layers at the ends are designed to create shape and shouldn’t have to fight against any bulk. I also won’t lie about the upkeep the color will need. Reds and burgundies are also very high maintenance because colors from this family fade faster than any other. This means you’ll need to touch up every 4 to 5 weeks, and you’ll need a color-depositing shampoo between touch ups. If you love it, the maintenance will be worth it.
#36: Side-Swept Bangs on a Bixie That Knows Its Angles
The careful placement of side-swept bangs gives an appearance of contouring that draws attention to the eyes while also softening the jaw. Such attention to detail is what separates an average haircut from an exceptional one. My preferred lengths for bixies are those that sit right at the jaw, as it helps to frame the face nicely without too much exposure. The subtle layers are just enough to create some movement, and ensure it won’t look like you need to do a complete makeover every day. Once it air dries, this will look like it has been styled. Anything thicker would lose the delicacy, but this cut will work best on fine to medium hair.
#37: Silver Bixie with Texture That Has a Sense of Humor
Please don’t think I’m saying this cut is humorous. I’m saying it’s playful in a way many silver cuts aren’t, and I think it has to do with the crown volume and those softly tousled layers. It gives off the energy of someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. The blended silver tones are stunning, and the shape flatters rounder faces by creating height on top without adding width on the sides, which is a trick I use all the time and I’m shocked more stylists don’t do it on purpose. If your hair is fine to medium, this is going to give you volume and nice day-to-day texture, though it will take a quick shot of volumizing mousse at the roots to take it from good to genuinely great.
#38: Light Blonde Layers That Float Instead of Fall
This particular cut has a lot of different layers and what I find intriguing is how they ‘hang’ versus ‘float’. This is an important distinction to make as hanging layers appear tired and heavy. In contrast, layers that float look youthful and alive. In this instance, the fine hair works to the advantage of the cut as there are no layers dragging the cut down, so the layers float which creates an almost weightless quality. The light blonde tones add brightness to the entire look, especially around the face. This is something I like to recommend to clients whose complexion seems to have felt a little dull over time. The styling options are really flexible here too. You can go for a sleek look one day and a tousled look the next and both will look amazing. That is a luxury that not every cut gives you.
#39: Feathered Front Layers for Maximum Face-Framing
The front-layered feathers are doing the most work here, and I’m impressed. Feathering can frankly go wrong, but here it has been done with executed restraint, and looks sleek and modern, not retro. They frame the face beautifully and the distinction matters. You want the layers to enhance features and not give a curtain effect. The fresh light blonde color opens the face up in a way a darker color wouldn’t with the same cut. If your hair is fine, this is going to be one of your best options because the texture and body that feathering creates does not require your hair to have something that is not naturally present. The shape does require regular maintenance but daily styling is genuinely minimal.
#40: Edgy Bangs That Somehow Still Feel Approachable
Whenever someone asks for ‘edgy bangs’ I start to panic a bit because I know that they have a completely different understanding of what ‘edgy’ means. Thankfully, these bangs are good example because they don’t make the wearer look aggressive. The layers add a lot of movement and volume, and the highlights are great because, unlike some overhead lighting we face, these highlights do not make the hair look flat. There is real versatility with this style. Whether you prefer to sleek it back or tussle it with fingers, either option looks intentional and puts this style in good standing. This style is seriously close to perfect for any finer hair, and if your hair is thicker then just be prepared to get it trimmed again to keep the shape from looking bulky.
#41: Platinum Bixie with Crown Lift That Doesn’t Quit
The layers in the crown create a lovely volume and an illusion of the hair’s natural fall as opposed to being styled with a round brush for 40 minutes. This is the type of illusion a good haircut is meant to create. The bright and clean platinum color paired with the length just above the nape helps everything look sharp and precise. Finer or medium textures will especially love this as the layers are designed to create volume and fullness in areas where finer textures tend to fall short. There’s an ideal airiness at the crown which offers a lifted quality to the overall shape, almost as if it’s defying gravity, and I love that about shorter cuts.
#42: Lively Blonde Layers on a Bixie That Knows How to Have Fun
I feel the energy here! I love how the layers are cut to look more active, yet they not too aggressively uneven. The finish is very tousled, and adds to the laid-back vibe of the cut making it easy to wear. You won’t feel like you’re going to a high-class event with this style. The blonde highlights on the top layers of the hair are a perfect touch, as they catch the light and draw the eye up giving the illusion of more volume. It is very flattering if you have fine to medium hair and an oval or heart-shaped face. With the right proportions, this style could really be recommended for most face shapes.
#43: Soft Layers and Subtle Warmth That Just Works
A haircut doesn’t need to be a big deal. Some cuts just look good without having to style it. This will be a cut you can rely on. Soft layers will add movement to your hair and it won’t look flat and limp. Highlights will add warmth to your look and give your hair more dimension. The cut will be at collarbone length, so will give lelgth when you style it, and allow it to dry quicker. Less hair will mean less time in the mirror. It’s a very low-maintenance haircut. It’s the ultimate trust haircut. It’s for people who want to stop stressing about their hair because it’ll look good without having to do anything.
#44: Curly Bixie for the Woman Who’s Done Fighting Her Texture
If you have spent years straightening your hair, it’s time to look at this cut and rethink everything. Soft curly layers create a beautiful soft shape and adds dimension to your hair that straight hair can’t achieve. The soft bangs that come with the cut also soften the look without being heavy. For fine hair that is wavy or curly, this is the best look. The curl pattern is what gives you the volume and texture that you would usually have to add in with a bunch of products. You’ll want to use an anti-frizz serum or a lightweight cream when your hair is damp to control the frizz, Other than that, it’s a wash and wear situation!
#45: Asymmetrical Color and Cut That Feels Current Without Being Trendy
Some haircuts may look a bit trendy, but this cut is a bit more timeless while still keeping things a little more modern. Most women over a certain age want this type of haircut. This cut does have a bit of subtle asymmetry. The highlights are blended and so they look like they came from someone with good natural lighting. Having hair above the shoulders is a more modern look, but it isn’t too drastic. Fine to medium texture hair is best for this cut because the layers will move freely, and won’t feel too heavy. The highlights won’t require too much maintenance because they are subtle. The grow out is more forgiving than that of a heavier foil highlight, which is good because highlights should be refreshed every so often.
#46: Face-Framing Layers on a Bixie That Flatters First
Most face framing layers seem to miss the mark, but not these. These layers frame the face rather than just being short pieces that sit next to the face. They draw attention in and the lighter blonde added brightness and opened everything up more. This particular cut is going to benefit fine hair the most because the layers create the illusion of more hair. Plus, with the overall length that is going to be at the nape, that hair is going to dry fast and be easy to manage. You have so much versatility with this cut, you can switch the part, do a wave, or a slick back and each of those will look like a different haircut. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to keep up with trims to maintain the layer architecture because if the face framing pieces grow out, they will also stop doing what they were meant to do.
#47: Raspberry Bixie for the Bold and the Brave
I don’t recommend fantasy colors for every client, but when someone sits in my chair that can pull it off, I suggest going for something like this raspberry. It is vibrant but not too neon, and it matches perfectly with all the edgy layers that provide structure and attitude to this cut. The soft bangs help ensure it doesn’t feel too harsh, as with a color this bold you want to make sure the cut doesn’t overshadow the color. Hair with a fine to medium density will move beautifully in these layers. Let’s be honest, fashion colors fade quickly and the reality of maintenance is going to set in. You will need root touch ups and color refreshes every 4-6 weeks. Also, you will need to use sulfate-free shampoo because that raspberry is going to be pink by week two.
#48: Highlighted Bixie That Photographs as Well as It Wears
I appreciate this haircut because I know several great haircuts that either look good or do not photograph well. This haircut, however, is great in pictures. The way it is cut will provide a nice look in real life as well as photos. The highlights are subtle, so they will give a nice glow no matter what type of lighting you are in. The length that sits just above the jaw is practical and really does a great job framing the face. It’s short enough for easy maintenance while long enough to provide a lot of presence. The hair layers are fantastic for fine and thin hair, particularly if the hair cannot handle a heavy blunt cut. This haircut is a great option if you want something different that isn’t too drastic.
#49: Pink Bixie for When You Want to Feel Something
All women should have the chance to wear the color pink, even if it’s only for a few weeks. Wearing pink as a color can be empowering pink soft bold decision take can be but as be costume less like can look an outfit example, it will give nice romantic look the straight to punk. It looks great with fine hair too. The color and the texture will show and create that visual interest. A plain flat look will not achieve that. Pink will fade pretty quickly. To keep the pink look between professional color appointments, you’ll need to use color conditioner specifically for pinks.
#50: Curly Ends on a Bixie That Has Character
This hairstyle looks so cute and the little curls really make it look even better. A blunt bixie cut wouldn’t make it look like this and the playfulness around the jawline is such a nice detail. There is enough length in the cut to let the curls move around freely without looking messy. This length is perfect because it keeps the curls separated instead of tangled. The detail of how the hair is shaped around the ears is nice and I want to highlight it. It’s also really nice with glasses which a lot of my clients need to know but no one tells them. This style will also work beautifully for any hair that is fine and has a little natural curl. The curl will add body and volume to the style that the hair, on its own, will lack. The beauty, in this cut, lies at the ends. This is why it’s worth the investment to ensure you have regular trims to keep the ends looking nice and curled.
