It's shorter than a bob, longer than a pixie, and absolutely on trend: the bixie!
After New York City's First Lady Rama Duwaji, “Euphoria” star Zendaya also wears the trendy bixie cut. Who the spring hairstyle suits and how you can style it easily.
Not Bob, not Pixie – Bixie
If the bob is too boring for you and the pixie is too short, the bixie could be your new dream hairstyle. With a length of up to the ear or jaw, it's shorter than the classic bob, but doesn't scream “short hair” like a pixie. The reason: The bixie is also layered, especially at the back, but longer layers on the top of the head give a lot of volume – and enable flexible styling.
The Bixie can therefore be styled messy or slightly wavy or completely sleek. The many possible variations are also a reason why the hairstyle looks good on almost every face shape and every hair type. Only women with extremely thin hair without volume or very frizzy hair should be careful with the bixie. It's always best to get advice from your hairdresser beforehand.

-
Wash your hair and let it dry.
-
Work styling cream or volume mousse into lengths and roots.
-
For the typical volume: Use your fingers to lift the hair on the top of your head and blow-dry it against the direction of growth.
-
When blow-drying, turn the ends of your hair slightly inwards or outwards – depending on your taste – for a rockier or more elegant look.

How to style the Bixie “messy”.
-
Your Bixie will become curlier if you apply a Beachwaves spray or a small amount of wax to dry hair.
-
Then lightly work the product into your hair and define individual strands with your fingers. Pluck the bangs and top hair slightly forward. Attention: Don't be too neat, it can look messy.
-
If you like, you can spray some flexible hairspray on it at the end. Not too much so that the look remains flexible.
This is how you style the Bixie in a sleek look
-
Wash your hair and apply heat protection to towel-dried hair.
-
Blow dry hair straight with a flat brush.
-
If it isn't smooth enough after blow-drying, you can straighten individual sections with a straightening iron and style the contours backwards.
-
Finally, a little shine spray over it and you're done.
Style Bixie like Zendaya
Curly and with a deep side parting – this is how Zendaya wears her bixie.
Imago
Actress Zendaya goes for curls with her bixie. To style it in the same way, you will need heat protection, a curling cream or styling gel for curls, hairspray, a hairdryer with a diffuser and, if necessary, a curling iron or straightener.
-
Wash your hair and apply a heat protectant to towel-dried hair. Attention: Do not rub your hair dry, just press it so that the curls are protected.
-
Then pull a deep side part like Zendaya.
-
Knead curl cream or gel into your hair. Not too much, the curls should just be defined, not sticky.
-
Blow dry hair with a diffuser attachment. For a lot of volume, it's best to use it overhead. Form individual strands with your fingers.
-
If you want it to be perfect, you can curl individual strands with a curling iron or straightening iron. To do this, wrap the strands only briefly.
-
Apply a light hairspray or shine spray to fix it. Complete. (akr)
