The bixie cut
Mixture of a bob (a square cut) and a pixie cut, the bixie cut shows a little more length on the sides than a classic pixie cut. A little shorter than a bob and longer than a short cut, it forms a perfect in-between for those who like haircuts that are versatile, voluminous but also very easy to style.
With its longer strand at the front of the face, it highlights the eyes and softens the oval. Its lengths on the sides and the nape of the neck provide an effect of softness and additional volume. Easily modular, it can be styled at the front of the face, but also at the back, with a side part, wavy, curly, ultra-smooth or even flat.

The short neo-mullet
Also called mixie cut (the association of the words “mullet” “pixie”), this revisited short mullet cut is recognizable with its longer strands at the nape of the neck and its fairly marked gradient on the top of the head. It is particularly suitable for thick hair, but also for wavy or curly hair to which it adds a lot of volume.
With its very textured effect, the short neo-mullet cut adds volume and substance to the hair. It gives a 70s touch to the hair, which can bring a lot of personality to the face. A model that has already seduced Charlotte Gainsbourg, but also Charlize Theron and Rihanna.

The wixie cut
The short wixie cut (“winged pixie”) is also a variation of the pixie cut. Its particularity: longer strands at the sideburns and nape of the neck and bangs that are a little shorter and well layered than the classic pixie cut. It forms a pretty frame around the face and highlights the posture of the head particularly well. Just like the mixie cut, it is ideally worn with a very textured material, to create a styled/disheveled effect.
The wixie cut is also very aesthetic on curly hair, because the gradient on the top of the head and the contours of the face highlights the bounce of the waves. Its slightly shorter nape makes it easier to wear than a neo-mullet cut, perfect for those looking for an original and modern short cut without taking too many risks.

The short curly gradient
You will have understood, natural curly hair is very trendy this spring-summer. They are particularly well highlighted with layered cuts, cut the short layered cut. Shorter on the sides and the nape of the neck, it is well degraded on the top of the head to highlight curls and create a slightly rounded shape. A model which brings a lot of softness to the face and which also has the advantage of lengthening the oval of the face.

If you have curly or wavy hair, we advise you to go for this type of model, rather than a bixie cut (not sufficiently layered on the sides) or a short bob.
