HAIRDRESSING
TREND

by GREG COUZENS

The Bixie

The ‘bixie’ haircut is the latest trend, it is a fusion of a bob and a pixie.

This cut offers the beautiful face-framing texture of a pixie: its head-hugging
shape gives softness and femininity whilst keeping a more solid exterior.

Starting with a fringe whilst keeping some length it can be adapted for
everyone; ask your stylist to recommend what would suit your face shape,
hair texture and lifestyle.

I suggest cutting the face-framing layers with a razor, using a freehand
technique – ‘instinct cutting’ – that relies on instinctively knowing the right
length and gradient. Instinct cutting means your hairdresser provides you
with the best shape and cut, hair that works specifically for you.

This approach begins with a client showing a photograph of a haircut they
want. Thanks to instinct cutting, you will emerge from the chair with a
bespoke cut, rather than a reproduction of something that doesn’t look or
feel right. With the right layering and razoring, a low maintenance beautiful
haircut is achieved.

Instinct cutting is booming post-pandemic due to clients wanting a more
relaxed haircut that is easy to maintain. Because we are generally more
causal with our fashion and clothing, our hair needs to complement this.

We also applied a colour with a natural, rich and glossy finish so we could
make Georgia’s hair ‘pop’ that little bit extra whilst keeping it healthy.

Are you brave enough to place so much trust into your stylist? Be bold and
talk to them today about instinct cutting and the bixie.
