The Bixie is Still the Must-Have Haircut This Winter

From nostalgic '90s vibes to low-maintenance styling, the pixie-bob hybrid remains a favorite heading into the colder months.

The bixie dominated summer, and as temperatures drop, it’s still one of the most requested short styles, along with the classic pixie. Many women love it for its versatility.

What Is a Bixie and Why It’s So Low Maintenance

A bixie is a hybrid of the pixie and bob, longer than a pixie but shorter than a traditional bob. The style was first popularized in the 90s by style icons like Halle Berry and Toni Braxton, and the cut has made its way back as the ultimate trend.

Long wash days are a thing of the past, cutting time down to just a few minutes. Maintenance is critical, so a wrap-and-go routine at home, regular trims from your stylist (or yourself), and an investment in quality products can keep the style very low maintenance.

Winter Care Essentials

Here is what you do want to pay attention to:

Hydrate first. Moisturize second.

Hydration adds water to the hair. Moisturizing helps seal that water in. Without hydration, hair can become dry and fragile, and without moisture, hydration quickly evaporates into the winter air.

A lightweight leave-in conditioner followed by a nourishing oil can help maintain softness, shine, and flexibility throughout the season.

Protect It at Night

Sleep on a satin pillowcase, wrap your hair with a silk scarf at night, and limit unnecessary heat.
