Typically, the moment of growing out a short haircut is one of deep crisis. There’s almost always an awkward phase—not to mention the regret and questioning of identity that goes along with it. “My hair, once a mullet then a sort-of pixie, is in a weird in-between place, and I don’t know how to wear it,” British Vogue’s Daisy Jones bemoans of this experience. “It doesn’t help that I asked my partner to cut my fringe in the near-darkness while we were both exhausted, which has now left me looking like a wonky-looking bowl.”
It was all stressful until the ’90s hot chop—the bixie—began trending again earlier this summer. For Jones, it was an easy trip to the salon.
The bixie is exactly what it sounds like. Part-bob, part-pixie, the vibe is casual and undone, like a grown-out pixie cut, or a choppier, more mussed-up bob. Think: Cameron Diaz and Meg Ryan circa 1997, or else Halle Berry circa 2002, and Winona Ryder many times throughout her heyday. Essentially, these are pixie cuts that are long enough to rake your fingers through and tuck behind your ears.

This time around, Pixie Geldof, Florence Pugh, Jourdan Dunn, and the First Lady of New York Rama Duwaji have all seen with variations of the bixie. “Rama initially came in with a classic bob and her famous self-cut bangs,” says Brooklyn-based hairstylist Lauren Sottile, who works with Duwaji. The cut they decided on was a razor-cut bixie layers, along with face-framing pieces that hit around the eyes. “It has a bit of edge, yet stays so feminine. I feel like this cut really should be called ‘the Rama’ because it is so unique to her.”
