We may have just started a new year, but hair trends have travelled back about two decades with the popular bixie cut.

Have you ever wanted a bob that&rsquo;s a bit shorter than normal? Or maybe a pixie that&rsquo;s a bit longer? Lucky for you, the famous 1990s haircut known as the &ldquo;bixie&rdquo; is back and taking the new year by storm.&nbsp;
Although the '90s was filled with popular hairstyles, there is no question that the bixie stands out from the pack. Worn by the ultimate style icon <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/princess-diana-best-quotes-last-words" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a>, as well as countless other celebrity favorites such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/young-winona-ryder-90s-style-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Winona Ryder</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gwyneth-paltrow-young-best-90s-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gwyneth Paltrow</a>, the bixie made a name for itself. Although the trend eventually faded, we have 2022 to thank for bringing it back to us; left and right we are seeing stars chopping their locks to embrace this tried and true, fashion-forward cut.&nbsp;

So, what is a bixie exactly? Half <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/17-short-hair-styles-for-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bob</a>, half pixie, the haircut is known for its feathered ends and quite heavy, chopped layering. The bixie&rsquo;s length is right in the middle of the lengths of a typical pixie and a typical bob, resulting in some serious face-framing ends.
What&rsquo;s great about this haircut is its versatility&mdash;you can either wear it as a slept-in, kind of messy vibe like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/street-style-fall-winter-2021-haute-couture-pfw-bella-hadid-florence-pugh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florence Pugh</a>, or you can wear it sleek and close to your head like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rowan-blanchard-fashion-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rowan Blanchard</a> below. You can easily style it differently based on outfit, event, time of day, you name it!
