Mixie, Bixie and Pixie - All explained!
Trends in hairstyles are always changing and right now it’s all about the Mixie. But what does that mean we hear you say! What with the Mixie, Bixie and Pixie it’s hard to keep up so here is a quick run down on the latest style trends.
-
This new style is increasing in popularity. A blend of a Pixie and a mullet the Mixie is an androgynous, youthful take on a shorter look. This haircut is more versatile than you may think, variations spanning from ultra-short to shaggy which can be worn loose and layered or straight and slicked back. Typically paired with a fringe (or bangs!) it is super flattering and works well with most hair textures.
In fact the fringe is a key customisation to this look. You can pair the Mixie with side-swept, wispy or micro fringe styles to dramatically change the overall result.
The mixie may be considered high-maintenance as it requires regular trims but you can always let the hair grow out for a shaggier, more relaxed look to get some longevity from your cut.

The Bixie combines the best elements of a short bob with the texture of a pixie cut. This style often features shorter layers at the nape of the neck with a slight graduation with longer, more textured layers towards the fringe and crown. The rounded crown also helps provide the illusion of volume and movement, leaving stunning results with a touch of glamour.
Bixie cuts work well on all hair types and can be customised to flatter various face shapes – it’s all about how your stylist adds volumes and layers. It’s a great option for anyone looking for a stylish yet easy-to-maintain mid to short style.

Pixie haircuts are always on trend and this classic cut has evolved over time with a number of new variations. It’s typically a very short style cut close to the scalp, which enhances the shape of the face and those stunning cheekbones! The Pixie can be tailored and sleek, edgy with a rocker-style or a trendy boyish cut. Whatever variation you opt for one thing’s for sure – it’s always in style!
You can’t escape the fact that this is a dramatically short cut and means your facial features are more pronounced. Fortunately with expert stylists like ours we can customise this haircut to suit any clients face shape.
