The bixie cut confirms itself as the haircut of the summer season Thank you Gracie Abrams

Every summer the same thing happens: at some point we find ourselves with our hair sticking to our neck and start fantasizing about a short haircut. The problem is that a pixie still feels like too drastic a change, while the bob, although it has become a timeless classic, risks feeling a little too predictable. Not to mention that keeping it at the perfect length would practically require a salon appointment every two weeks. This is exactly why the bixie cut continues to be one of the smartest choices of the season. Short enough to feel fresh, lightweight and incredibly easy to maintain, it is the kind of haircut that still looks polished even when heat, humidity and endless summer days do everything they can to ruin it.

A special thank you to Gracie Abrams

In recent months, the bixie cut has returned to the spotlight also thanks to Gracie Abrams, who chose it as one of the most recognizable elements of her look. From public appearances to her latest music projects, including the videos for Hit The Wall or Look At My Life, the haircut perfectly matches a phase in which the singer is defining her aesthetic more and more: short, soft and slightly tousled hair with an effortlessly sophisticated feel.

The best part? Almost no maintenance

The beauty of the bixie is that it sits perfectly in between two worlds: it takes the lightness of a pixie and the softness of a bob, without truly being either one. It is short, but not so short that you feel like you have no hair left, because it keeps those strategic lengths that frame the face and create movement. The layers are a fundamental part of the cut, giving it that lived-in, slightly undone effect that always works during summer. And that is exactly its strength: the bixie is not one of those haircuts that only looks good on the day you leave the salon, it keeps working as it grows out, avoiding that annoying in-between stage before reaching longer lengths again. It is easy to understand why every summer the bixie becomes one of the most requested haircuts in salons. It dries quickly, feels lighter on the shoulders and makes your whole head feel less weighed down. After a day at the beach or by the pool, all you need is to let it air dry, or add a little texturizing or styling spray, use a hairdryer and brush for any strands that need fixing, and you’re good to go.
