The ‘90s bixie — a hybrid of a bob and a pixie — is back, and it’s the short hairstyle of 2022

Much more recently, Florence Pugh seems to be leading the charge with a similar not-too-short but definitely not chin-length look.

Sarah Hyland recently cut her hair into what some might call a bob with bangs, but we’re gonna go ahead and call it a bixie since it definitely checks off enough of the boxes — and because her stylist, Nikki Lee, called it that. “We went short and added a full bang,” she said. “It’s our take on the bixie, but more timeless and classic.”

Even Anne Hathaway was spotted on a movie set with what’s arguably a bixie, though it’s all but confirmed that she was wearing a wig (which is a crying shame because the bixie was made for Hathaway’s bone structure). That said, it proves hair doesn’t have to be straight to look cute with this cropped style.

Needless to say, the momentum is building, so if you are thinking of trying it yourself, you can feel confident that plenty of hairstylists will know exactly what you’re talking about if you ask for a bixie, according to Fabrice Gilli, a stylist at Fekkai SoHo in New York City. “With that being said, it’s always good to show your stylist a picture of the look you’re going for to ensure it’s exactly what you want,” he adds. As for which hair types may be best suited for a bixie, he says very thick or coarse hair may not be the ideal candidate. “I recommend a bixie for fine to medium texture hair.”

So, there you have it. Of all the short hairstyles set to take salons by storm in 2022, it’s the bixie. And we ain’t mad about it.
