The bixie haircut is not only a hairstylist’s dream, but also a banging trend seen everywhere in 2025. It combines elements of the short bob haircut with texture in the interior of the nape and luxurious movement we’ve grown to appreciate from the pixie. As with many other hair trends we can see today, it is a nod to the iconic ’90s cuts of Cameron Dias and Meg Ryan.

Start the season with a new trendy haircut that will emphasize your face shape and accentuate your hair texture. Delicate highlights will allow you to make your fine hair more dimensional without much layering.
@shmoakin_hair
This cut gives diverse styling options, making it a perfect solution for those who like to experiment with daily styling. Note that layered curtain bangs ideally match the pixie choppiness, so you can feel free to go for the fringe.
@victoria_soldatenko
This stacked haircut, flat wrapped with R+Co Park Ave Blowout Balm, can make your straight hair more voluminous and textured. Add some wispy sideburns to improve the shape of your haircut and frame your face beautifully.
@jcolestyle
Inspired by the 90s, this trendy haircut perfectly works for ladies with round faces, as it adds a cool, edgy vibe to the look. Pair soft layers with short choppy bangs or micro bangs to accentuate your fresh messy crop.
@hirohair
You won’t leave unnoticed with a unique hairstyle like this! Short layers on top give your hair a fantastic texture and elongate your round face shape. Complement this haircut with chunky highlights of contrasting hair color for a more eye-catching result.
@andy_doesyourhair
This platinum blonde pixie bob features plenty of layers around the crown, thus making your haircut weightless and more textured. Add shorter face-framing pieces in the front to soften your appearance and balance the face shape.
@rachelwstylist
Bold haircuts are always in trend, so we highly recommend you pay attention to this catchy pixie bob! Create this fashionable, edgy style by cutting your hair in layers and styling them with a wax or texturizing spray.
@ashleenormanhair
This layered bob pixie is a good option for those looking for a stylish haircut that will be easy to maintain. Blonde highlights will bring more dimension to the brown base and brighten your brand-new style up.
@leslieann_hairstylist178
This cute curly hairstyle will become your signature crop thanks to its flattering texture. The layering will remove the bulk of your thick mane, bringing more lightness to your overall look.
@alchemyorlando
Do you prefer simple hairstyles but don’t want to look boring? In this case, spice up your feathered haircut with beautiful pink balayage. These rose gold layers will highlight the texture of your long layers and bangs.
@style_by_nic
Elongated haircuts work great for all face shapes, so you are free to opt for this idea when looking for inspiration for your new hairstyle. Curtain bangs will also accentuate your facial features and draw attention to your appearance.
@idaaxenstedt
Not all short hairstyles work for ladies with round faces, but this chic cut is an excellent example of a suitable hairdo. Tuck your hair behind the ear on one side to give this cut a playful look.
@emerson_ferrazoficial
In general, the bixie trend allows much customization! Watch out for asymmetrical tendencies, though. In some cases, an undercut might be a better option as opposed to extreme blending from short to long. Throw in some curtain bangs, even better!
@lila_wsalon
Despite this hairdo being shorter than the classic bixie, it looks very elegant and appealing. With choppy layers and baby bangs, you can get extra volume on top, thus bringing the main focus to the fullness and thickness of your mane.
@florence.hair
The bangs swept to the side add mystery and sophistication to this style, as well as apply much volume to the crown. Ask your stylist for more layers on top for an elongating effect. This will allow it to distract attention from the roundness of your cheeks and balance your face shape.
@rodrigocintra
Make everyone awe at your new shade, giving your mane a fresh chop. Feathered layers and curtain fringe let stunning wine tones shine through, thus creating a cool and vibrant punk look.
@lindsayhascoolhair
Fiery hair colors like red and ginger always bring more attention to their owners. However, the vibrant ginger hue isn’t the main feature of this trendy, fun look, as the focus is on texture and layers.
@misahara5
This haircut has a perfect length and shape thanks to a rounded back and long, wispy bangs. Add interest to your mane with highlights of different shades of blonde.
@hairdresser.sarah
Add a touch of sophistication to your style with this delicate, elegant crop. Soft layers remove excessive bulk and make your haircut more lightweight and airier, exactly what thick-haired women need.
@retratosdeleticia
Highlight your choppy layered cut with a subtle balayage to make this look more intricate.
@justindillaha_hair
Black cherry hair looks gorgeous on itself, but the shorter layers in this haircut help reveal all the depths of this magnetic shade and bring movement to your locks. This mix of soft layers with burgundy balayage will ideally suit ladies over 50.
@jeanclaudeelmoughayar
If you are not afraid of boyish hairstyles, this ear-length crop with side bangs can inspire you for bold experiments with your hair. Add a touch of a hair styling spray to give your roots a subtle lift and sport a dimensional look.
@__k_vu__
Warm and sunny, this shagged out bixie is super stylish and versatile. Depending on your mood or occasion, you can make this haircut more eye-catching and sassier by styling it to the side. Or, stick to a middle parting for a softer and more romantic look.
@brianacisneros
If you are a fan of sassy Kristen Stewart-like transformations, this side-parted haircut with a tousled crown will help you repeat the crop of your favorite actress. Use a texture spray or any other appropriate styling product to create a voluminous, shiny look like the one in the photo.
@kisasackadin
Edgy yet chic, this undone pixie bob is made to draw attention to itself! Ask your hairstylist for a longer-length silhouette and tousle the crown to get this sassy look that will make your facial features more expressive.
@shmoakin_hair
This short, wavy cut is made to draw attention. At the same time, a pixie bob is one of the easiest styles to manage and maintain. Feel free to wear it to the office and then stop by for an evening cocktail with your friends.
@brianacisneros
Coming with bangs and layers of different lengths, this wolf cut-inspired style brings plenty of natural volume and fullness. You may adopt this hairstyle for both straight and curly locks, but wavy hair texture might work better for this haircut.
@avacorinnehair
The icy blonde shade will create a striking contrast with a medium or tan skin tone and highlight the texture of the layered crop. For a catchier look, style your hair with a quick blowout and your favorite texturizing spray.
@jhonyveiga
This crop is all about volume, fullness, and texture, which you can emphasize with layers and long side bangs. Secure the final result with a styling product for a long-lasting effect.
@jeanclaudeelmoughayar
A pixie bob can range in length and thickness, but you will easily find the fitting option for your hair type and texture with a professional stylist. A tip: shorter bangs will be a lovely addition to your choppy layered cut.
@leslieann_hairstylist178
Arrojo, R+Co, and Oribe are great brands that offer texture-enhancing styling products for your bixie. The effortless look below is achieved with a razor and styled with Jackpot Styling Cream by R+Co and finished with Wave Mist by Arrojo.
Opt for a more graduated bixie with either curtain bangs or blunt bangs to give it a French bob feel. Leave the fringe a bit longer and create a shaggy look with Oribe Imperial Blowout or Arrojo Styling Creme. Arrojo Texture Paste is also a good texture activator that instantly enlivens your hairstyle.
Whether this style evolved out of compromise or grown-out pixie, its generous options deliver versatility and endless customization. Hopefully, this inspires you to consider your version of the pixie bob. Follow my Instagram @jcolestyle for more tips and ideas.
