The Haircut of 2022 is Already Here – And It's from the ‘90s
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’s a bit shorter than normal? Or maybe a pixie that’s a bit longer? Lucky for you, the famous 1990s haircut known as the “bixie” is back and taking the new year by storm.
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 Princess Diana, as well as countless other celebrity favorites such as Winona Ryder and Gwyneth Paltrow, 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.
So, what is a bixie exactly? Half bob, half pixie, the haircut is known for its feathered ends and quite heavy, chopped layering. The bixie’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’s great about this haircut is its versatility—you can either wear it as a slept-in, kind of messy vibe like Florence Pugh, or you can wear it sleek and close to your head like Rowan Blanchard below. You can easily style it differently based on outfit, event, time of day, you name it!
