Reference: Halle Berry's classic pixie crossed with a chin-length bob. LENGTH: short and cropped at the back and nape (about 2.5 cm / 1 inch), gradually getting longer toward the front. The TOP measures 8-10 cm / 3-4 inches. The longest face-framing strands at the very front reach exactly to the jawline. SHAPE: rounder than a pure pixie — softer at the back, longer on top. Longest pieces sit at the front framing the cheekbones; shortest sit at the nape behind the ears. Slight crown volume. TEXTURE: piecey, lightly tousled top with hair wax for definition. Textured ends, not blunt. PART: side part or deep zigzag, with a feathery sweeping fringe across the forehead. NOT a regular pixie (top must remain 8-10 cm long, not cropped short all over). NOT a regular bob (back and nape must be cropped close, not hanging at chin level). NOT shaved/faded on the sides (sides blend smoothly, no clipper line).

The bixie is the bob-pixie hybrid that came out of pandemic-era TikTok — a French-girl-undone cut with bob-length top and pixie-short nape, intentionally messy, never neat. Length sits around the jaw or just below at the longest, with the nape clipped close. The shape is meant to look slept-in, not just cut.
It flatters oval, heart, and oblong faces — strong cheekbones carry it because the cut exposes them. Straight and wavy textures wear it most cleanly; the cut works on curly hair too but reads more 'short curly cut' than 'bixie.' The bixie is the cut to ask for when you want shorter than a bob but aren't ready to commit to a full pixie.
Low daily maintenance once cut — air-dry with mousse, scrunch in some texturizing spray, push pieces around with your hands. Three minutes most mornings. Trim every six weeks to keep the nape sharp and the shape disconnected. The bixie went viral on TikTok in 2021 (Jenna Ortega's variant got particular attention) and has stayed firmly in rotation. Ask for 'a short bob with pixie-length nape and longer top, French-girl undone' — describing it as 'short bob' will produce something cleaner than you wanted.
