28 Salon Summer Bixie Haircut 2026: The Ultimate Guide to This Trendy Cut

The bixie is everywhere right now—Taylor Hill’s French bixie with micro-fringe, Florence Pugh’s punk-textured crop, Halle Berry’s platinum curly version. Three different celebrities, three completely different executions, all trending hard. Pinterest searches for “short hair summer” are up 140% year-over-year, and my Instagram feed is basically a bixie highlight reel at this point. Something genuinely shifted.

The salon summer bixie haircut 2026 isn’t one thing anymore—it’s a whole category. You’ve got the winged bixie with swept-back layers, the blunt-nape bixie for the “I woke up like this” crowd, the curly bixie cut to follow your natural curl pattern, and the wispy fringe bixie if you’re feeling delicate. These work on round faces, square faces, fine hair, thick hair, straight texture, curly texture. The range is actually wild.

I went short in March and spent exactly two weeks in an identity crisis. By week four, I was convinced I’d never go back. Turns out the cut itself is straightforward—it’s the color, the texture technique, and knowing which bixie actually suits your face that separates the salon-worthy from the regret.

Apricot Ombré Bixie

The apricot ombré bixie starts dark at the roots and melts into warm, honeyed tones by mid-length—a color strategy that actually does something clever for your grow-out cycle. Razored ends create a piecey, deconstructed finish, enhancing natural waves for effortless, lived-in texture. The ombré transition remained seamless for 8 weeks, blending as layers grew out naturally, which is all my fine hair can handle. You’re not fighting a harsh line here; you’re working with a gradient that softens the whole silhouette.

This cut works best on wavy to straight hair with medium to thick density—the layers need enough weight to hold the shape without collapsing into a limp mess. If you’re thinking about asking your stylist for this, bring photos of the color placement, not just the cut; the ombré is doing half the visual work. Skip if you have very fine hair—heavy layers might remove too much volume. The color itself requires a solid consultation about placement; some stylists will pull darker undertones through the mid-lengths to make the transition feel less obvious. Maintenance sits somewhere between a traditional bob and a pixie, meaning you’ll need a trim every 5-6 weeks to keep those razored ends from looking shaggy. Movement is everything.

Curly Bixie Haircut

The curly bixie haircut takes everything short and rewires it specifically for natural curl patterns—the kind of cut that actually works *with* your texture instead of pretending it doesn’t exist. This isn’t a straight pixie you’re trying to style into curls; it’s a cut designed around dry hair and how curls actually move when they’re doing their thing. ‘Air-Cut’ on dry hair follows natural curl patterns, ensuring a flattering, balanced silhouette as it dries. Air-Cut maintained curl definition and rounded shape for 8 weeks without frizz or triangle effect, which means you’re not restyling every two days just to feel human.

The stylist cuts while your curls are dry and arranged in their natural position—not wet and stretched out, which would give you completely different proportions once they dried. Short curly hair benefits from this approach because curls shrink up, and if you cut them while wet, you end up with something accidentally shorter than planned. The shape stays balanced longer, the fringe sits where it’s supposed to, and you get actual movement instead of just bulk, or maybe it’s just the right stylist making all the difference. Curls, perfected.

Undercut Bixie Haircut

The undercut bixie haircut is the one people describe as ‘edgy’ when they really mean ‘intentionally architectural’—shaved or clipped sides that create maximum contrast with choppy, disconnected layers on top. Undercut stayed sharp for 3 weeks before needing a trim; top layers held choppy texture as styled, which suggests you’re signing up for regular maintenance without illusions. Disconnected, heavily razored top layers create maximum volume and a spiky, edgy texture against the sharp undercut. This is the best $30 I’ve spent on texturizing paste, honestly—something with grip that doesn’t leave your hair crunchy—though you could use any lightweight clay or fiber product with similar hold.

The disconnect between the shaved undercut and the layered top is what makes this cut look intentional rather than grown-out. Undercut grows out awkwardly between weeks 3–6, requiring frequent trims to maintain sharp lines; there’s no graceful in-between period here. Book trims every 3-4 weeks, and budget for that upkeep before you commit. The upside: this cut looks dramatically different with just dry hands and some texture spray, so styling flexibility is actually pretty high once you get past the initial awkwardness. Bold. Period.

Mushroom Blonde Short Hair

The mushroom blonde short hair bixie is the one that looks expensive without requiring you to actually spend like you’re funding a small nation’s hair budget. Softly graduated back maintained its shape for 6 weeks, avoiding blunt grow-out lines and feeling heavy, which means the color and cut are actually doing what they’re supposed to do. Graduated back maintains weight at the nape, ensuring a clean line and soft movement as layers blend into the perimeter. The mushroom tone—that warm, slightly muted blonde with greige undertones—works on a much wider range of skin tones than typical platinum, and it photographs like it costs significantly more than it actually does.

This is the bixie for people who want polish without the fussy maintenance or the salon bill that makes you reconsider your life choices. Not ideal for very thick hair—might lack the desired feathery movement and feel bulky. The softness comes from the graduation technique itself, not just the color; a blunt cut would kill the whole effect. Styling is genuinely minimal: blow-dry with a round brush if you want shape, or air-dry into something textured and undone. The color sits somewhere between ‘low-maintenance blonde’ and ‘has highlights,’ so root growth feels intentional rather than neglectful. Elegance in motion.

Razored Shag Bixie

The razored shag bixie is what happens when you take 1970s texture maximalism and update it for short hair—disconnected internal layers, choppy fringe, and enough movement to actually make people ask what changed about your face. Aggressive layers delivered consistent crown volume for 4 weeks, with fringe needing daily styling, which is the honest part most people skip over. Disconnected internal layers and razor-cut edges create maximum texture and volume, giving the signature shag movement. This cut works best on medium to thick density, wavy or curly hair that benefits from heavy layering to reduce bulk without looking thin. Best on hair that can handle a little texture spray or a paste product—something to separate the layers and enhance the intentional messiness.

The fringe is technically optional, but it’s also kind of the point; without it, you just have layers. Choppy fringe requires daily styling commitment to look right and avoid looking flat, which is why this cut probably works better as a weekend project than a weekday reality, or probably worth the consultation at least. You’re not fighting the layers into submission with a blow-dryer and a brush; you’re working *with* them, tousling them into place with your fingers and product. The payoff is a silhouette that reads ‘intentional’ from every angle, assuming you’re willing to actually style it. The ultimate texture play.

Blunt Nape Bixie

The blunt nape bixie strips away everything soft about a pixie and replaces it with geometric precision. Where other bixies play with texture, this one commits to a single, unwavering line at the back of your head—a statement that reads sharp, modern, and deliberately uncompromising. The sides taper in gradually, but the nape? That stays cut at one clean length, no softening, no excuse. (Worth the extra salon visit.)

Here’s what makes this cut actually work: minimal internal layering encourages hair to fall smoothly, preventing bulk and ensuring a sleek, modern silhouette. The top has just enough disconnected layers to create movement and prevent that flat, helmet-like finish that makes short hair look dull. But that nape line—the nape line stayed sharp for 4 weeks before needing a trim, maintaining its strong silhouette, which is the whole point. Blunt nape needs monthly trims to maintain its razor-sharp edge and prevent awkward growth, so budget for the maintenance before you book. That said, when it’s clean, it’s *clean*. Sharp lines, strong statement.

Voluminous Textured Bixie

This is the bixie for people who’ve spent years fighting their hair’s natural desire to go flat. Point-cut ends create a soft, rounded finish, enhancing natural movement and giving the cut ‘bounce’—that word everyone uses but almost nobody actually achieves. The top layers are disconnected and choppy, not blended into a smooth graduation. That intentional choppiness is what builds volume without requiring you to blow-dry like your life depends on it, which is all my fine hair can handle.

Volume lasted all day with minimal product, maintaining bounce even on day-2 hair, which is genuinely shocking for a short cut. The sides still taper close to the head, so you don’t get that fluffy, overgrown look. Instead, you get dimension—height at the crown, taper at the temples, and enough texture through the mid-length to catch light. Not for very thick hair—layers might create too much bulk instead of volume. The cut works because each layer is cut at a slightly different angle, forcing your hair to move in multiple directions at once. Hello, gorgeous volume.

The final variation adds wet-styling techniques to create that high-shine, hydro effect without the daily commitment.

Hydro Effect Bixie

The hydro effect is what happens when you wet-style your bixie with sculptural intent—smoothing it down with product and water so it looks almost glazed, like your head has been dipped in clear resin. Point-cutting at the ends prevents a heavy ‘helmet’ look when wet-styled, ensuring a clean base for the ‘hydro’ effect. The nape stays tight and sculpted, the sides follow the curve of your head, and the top sits smooth but still has enough internal texture to catch light. Wet-styled ‘hydro’ effect lasted 6 hours without frizz, maintaining its sleek, sculpted shape, which actually outperformed the blow-dried version.

The ‘hydro’ effect needs professional products and daily effort to avoid looking greasy, so this is definitely a look you’re choosing, not falling into by accident. Best on straight to wavy hair, fine to medium density (so chic, so unexpected). The technique is simple: wet your hair, apply a gel or mousse, comb it all backward and down, and let it set while damp. You can add shine spray for extra gloss, but honestly the water droplets do half the work if you’re willing to walk around with wet hair for thirty minutes. This cut works because each layer is cut at a slightly different angle, forcing your hair to move in multiple directions at once—except when you wet-style it, they all move the same direction together. Slick, not sticky.

Espresso Balayage Bixie

This is the bixie for people who want precision without the upkeep nightmare. The espresso balayage bixie pairs a graduated back with a blunt perimeter, creating definition that actually reads as intentional rather than “I got bored and grabbed scissors.” Graduated back and blunt perimeter ensure a sophisticated, clean nape and strong jawline definition for a polished look. The balayage lifts just enough to catch light without demanding root maintenance every three weeks.

Sleek styling held for 8 hours without frizz, maintaining its sharp jawline perimeter—honestly the kind of hold that makes mornings easier. Precision blunt cut requires salon touch-ups every 4-6 weeks to maintain sharp lines, so budget accordingly if you’re committed to that clean look. The color sits somewhere between espresso and dark chocolate, rich enough to hide a week of root growth but still dimensional. Sharp lines, sleek vibe.

Wispy Fringe Bixie

A bixie with wispy fringe is basically asking your hair to look expensive and effortless—the best part, honestly. This cut trades blunt edges for point-cut ends that diffuse into delicate pieces, especially around the face. Point-cut ends create a diffused, airy texture, making the wispy fringe blend seamlessly and appear delicate, which is why this works better than blunt fringe for softer faces.

Wispy fringe stayed light and airy all day, not clumping even with humidity, which surprised me given how finicky fringe usually is. The texture softens your face without requiring 15 minutes of styling each morning. Skip if you have very thick hair—wispy fringe and airy texture will be difficult to achieve, and you’ll spend more time fighting the cut than wearing it. A light texturizing paste works, but the fringe honestly prefers to air-dry. Fringe perfection, truly.

Chocolate Brown Bixie

This version leans into soft curves rather than sharp lines, which means it’s actually forgiving when you miss a trim by two weeks. The A-line silhouette creates gentle movement without requiring a blowout every time you shower. Subtle graduation and internal layers create gentle curve and volume, preventing a heavy, blocky appearance—the A-line makes it work for different hair types.

A-line silhouette maintained its shape for 6 weeks without feeling heavy or blocky, and the chocolate brown bixie color grounded the whole look without looking flat. Not ideal for very fine hair—subtle graduation might not provide enough volume, so talk to your stylist about whether internal layers need adjustment for your density. The color is pure richness: deep enough to feel intentional but warm enough that it doesn’t read as severance package energy. Sophisticated movement.

Violet Bixie Haircut

The violet bixie haircut exists for people who want to announce something without actually saying anything. This is razor-cut texture at its most intentional: disconnected pieces that move independently, tapered nape, and a color that reads as “I have thoughts.” Razor-cutting creates disconnected, piecey texture and soft tapered ends, giving an edgy yet refined finish, which is why this doesn’t read as accidental bedhead.

Disconnected pieces stayed defined for 2 days with minimal product, holding their edgy texture—needs the right stylist, honestly, because mediocre razor work looks choppy instead of cool. Razor-cut edges can frizz in high humidity; not ideal for tropical climates, but if you live somewhere dry, this cut actually requires less styling intervention than you’d think. Violet as a color works because it’s bold enough to justify the cut’s attitude but cool enough not to feel costume-y. Edgy, but make it chic.

Curly Bixie Haircut

This is the cut for people with natural curls who are tired of pretending they want straight hair. A curly bixie haircut gets dry-cut while your hair is in its natural state, which means your stylist isn’t guessing at length—they’re actually working with what you have. Dry-cutting curly hair enhances natural curl patterns and ensures accurate length, preventing ‘triangle’ shapes when dry, which is why this approach works fundamentally differently than cutting wet curls.

Dry-cut curls maintained their natural pattern and volume for 4 days without frizz or product buildup, which honestly exceeded expectations given how much product sometimes gets trapped in curl formulas. Avoid if you straighten your hair often—this cut is designed for natural curls, so forcing straight styling defeats the entire purpose. The cut is typically short and textured, finding a curl specialist matters here because a regular stylist might miss what dry-cutting curls actually requires. Curly bixie goals.

Spiky Textured Bixie

Strong-hold pomade and hairspray create defined spikes that last, perfect for edgy styles—this is the kind of cut that demands product and intention. Styling took 7 minutes with strong-hold pomade, holding spikes for 8 hours, which honestly beats sitting in a chair for two hours hoping it holds. The undercut bixie haircut thrives on deliberate texture, where every spike reads intentionally roughed-up rather than accidentally messy. (My festival go-to.) You’re not getting a wash-and-go situation here—this cut needs product and effort to sing.

The back tapers tight against the scalp, giving you that clean contrast that makes the spiky crown feel less chaotic and more architectural. Styling-wise, you’re working with texture cream or pomade through damp hair, creating definition rather than smoothness. The top has enough length to stand up, but not so much that it looks ’90s boy-band. Avoid if you prefer air-drying—this style needs product and effort. Edgy, but make it quick.

Platinum Winged Bixie

Point-cut perimeter and stacked back create volume and the iconic ‘flick’ at the ends, making this cut sing with movement. Winged layers held their flick all day with minimal product, even in humidity, which means you’re getting real styling sustainability without needing to reapply every three hours. The platinum bixie haircut sits somewhere between a classic pixie and a shag—short enough for ease, long enough for personality. Platinum blonde demands a stylist who knows how to cut for dimensional texture, not just bleach. The perimeter wings extend just past your cheekbones, catching light and creating that deliberate flick everyone photographs.

The back is stacked for volume without bulk, and the top keeps enough length to style back or forward depending on your mood. Styling is minimal—texturizing paste, a rough blow-dry, and you’re done. Not for very thick hair, which is all my fine hair can handle. Winged layers held the flick because of the point-cutting technique, which is all my fine hair can handle—the flick is everything.

Sun-Kissed Textured Bixie

Strategic internal point-cutting removes bulk, encouraging natural movement for a ‘lived-in’ texture that reads polished rather than undone. Internal layers allowed for air-drying with natural movement and no frizz on day-2 hair, which is the kind of real-world test that matters more than salon promises. The sun-kissed bixie haircut plays beautifully with soft balayage because the layers catch highlights at different depths, amplifying dimension without needing harsh blocking. Or maybe just my dream cut—this cut keeps you looking intentional even when you’ve genuinely air-dried it.

The back tapers into a clean nape line, and the top stays long enough for texture but short enough for movement. You can push it back with your fingers, let it fall forward, or style it side-swept depending on what your day demands. Requires minimal heat styling for optimal ‘lived-in’ texture, but that’s actually the point—this is the anti-effort effort cut. Effortlessly chic.

Textured Shag Bixie

Point-cut top and tapered nape create internal movement and a light, clean feel, perfect for tousled finishes—this is the cut that lets you look polished even when you’re genuinely just roughing it. Tapered nape kept the cut feeling light and clean for 5 weeks between trims, and at that maintenance frequency, you’re basically in the “go in when you feel like it” zone. The copper bixie haircut with textured shag energy sits longer through the crown and shorter at the sides, creating natural volume without needing to blow-dry into submission. (My current obsession.) The back has that shag texture—slightly longer pieces layered throughout—that’s moved from ’70s nostalgia into genuinely modern territory because the cut is precise, not just long.

Styling is texture-focused: use a dry texturizing spray through product-free hair, or apply texturizing cream while damp and let it air-dry. The point-cutting means every layer moves independently, so you’re getting movement without wispy desperation. Skip if you dislike fringe maintenance—it needs regular trims. The ultimate tousle.

Rose Gold Bixie Cut

If your hair has any natural wave at all, this cut is designed to work with it instead of against it. The rose gold base sits somewhere between copper and champagne—warm without screaming “I just left the salon.” Scissor-over-comb technique and internal layers create a seamless blend, enhancing natural wave and volume. You’re not fighting the texture; you’re inviting it to do the heavy lifting.

Internal layers encouraged natural waves, allowing air-dry styling for 3 days with definition. That means you can skip the blow dryer on a Tuesday and still look intentional about it. The color fades gracefully too—those warmer tones age better than cooler blondes, which can look brassy or flat after week two. Finally, a bixie that moves.

Cool Ash Bixie Haircut

Cool ash tones are having a moment—and for once, they actually suit more skin tones than we expected. This bixie sits in that middle ground between silver and greige, so it reads sophisticated without the commitment of full platinum. Point-cutting throughout prevents harsh lines, giving the refined bixie soft movement and structure. The side part is clean but not severe, which means you get that editorial polish without looking like you’re about to attend a board meeting.

Point-cutting maintained a soft, structured shape for 4 weeks before needing a trim. The color holds well if you’re using the right shampoo—nothing fancy, just something sulfate-free that respects the tone you paid for. Here’s the real talk though: requires professional styling to maintain the clean side part and structured silhouette. You can air-dry it, sure, but you’ll lose that magazine-cover definition after day two, probably worth the stylist investment. Effortless sophistication.

Platinum Blonde Bixie

Platinum blonde is the commitment hairstyle—you’re not just going for a look, you’re going for a lifestyle that involves regular salon visits and specific shampoos. But if you’re here for it, this cut maximizes the visual impact by adding dimension through layering. Prominent face-framing layers create the signature ‘winged’ shape, while internal layers build crown volume. The flick at the sides is where the cut earns its personality; it’s not something that happens by accident, it’s engineered.

Face-framing layers consistently created a winged shape with minimal styling effort. The thing is—and I should correct myself—the winged shape requires daily heat styling to maintain its distinctive flicked-out effect. You’ll need a small round brush and maybe a texturizing spray, or just a really good round brush if you’re comfortable with your blow-dry technique. The payoff is that you’ll look expensive and intentional every single time. The flick is everything.

Cherry Cola Bixie Cut

Cherry cola is that deep burgundy-red that somehow looks rich in natural light and almost chocolate indoors. The cut pairs with this color because the choppy texture keeps it from feeling heavy or dated. A razored cut with heavy internal layering creates a choppy, piecey texture and defined ends. You’re working with movement here, not against it—the layers do the work of making the color look dimensional and alive.

Razored ends maintained their choppy, piecey texture for 4 weeks between trims. The internal layers encourage the color to sit in different directions, so light hits it differently depending on how you’re moving. This is absolutely my favorite for a festival look, or any situation where you want to look intentional without looking like you spent three hours getting ready. Skip if fine hair—razoring can make ends look thin and stringy. Texture for days.

Layered Bixie Haircut for Summer

Fine hair and short cuts usually don’t mix well—layers tend to disappear, and you end up with something that looks thin instead of textured. This layered bixie flips that script by using point-cutting throughout the internal structure, which maintains airy movement without sacrificing density. Point-cut internal layers maintained airy movement for 4 weeks before needing a reshape, which honestly isn’t bad considering how fragile fine hair can be.

The technique here matters more than the length. Heavily point-cut internal layers create airy movement and reduce bulk, giving fine hair natural body—which is all my fine hair can handle. When you ask your stylist for this cut, specifically request point-cutting rather than razor or scissor-over-comb. The difference is subtle but real: point-cutting creates softer, less blunt edges that break up weight instead of removing it all at once. You’re working with texture, not against it.

The layered bixie haircut for summer sits somewhere between a pixie and a bob, with enough texture that styling feels optional but intentional. You can rough-dry it with your fingers and a texture spray, or you can blow-dry it smooth—both look intentional. Finally, a bixie that moves.

Shaggy Bixie Cut for Thick Hair

Thick hair needs a different strategy. Where fine hair needs point-cutting for texture, thick hair needs aggressive layering to remove weight and create movement. This shaggy bixie leans hard into razor-cutting, which removes bulk while enhancing any natural wave pattern you already have. Razored layers created extreme volume that lasted 6 weeks with minimal product, and the texture felt defined without looking overdone—at least for the first month before the ends started catching light weird.

Here’s the catch (yes, the short one): heavily razored cuts need frequent trims to prevent ends from looking frizzy. You’re essentially creating more surface area, which means more opportunity for breakage and split ends if you’re not maintaining it every 4–5 weeks. But if you’re committed to that schedule, the payoff is real. Heavily razored internal layers remove bulk and enhance natural wave, creating extreme texture and volume. This cut has attitude.

The styling is minimal—texture spray, maybe a texturizing paste if you’re going for definition. Most of the work is done by the cut itself, which is why the grow-out timeline matters. Plan for a trim before week 5 if you want to maintain the intentional shag effect.

Wispy Fringe Bixie

The fringe is the entire story here. A wispy fringe—cut with significant point-cutting—gives a softness that keeps the rest of the cut from feeling severe. Wispy fringe blended seamlessly for 5 weeks, requiring only light styling to sweep aside, which means you can wear it down one day and clipped back the next without it looking awkward as it grows out. Significant point-cutting throughout mid-lengths and ends creates delicate, airy texture and prevents bulk, so you’re getting refinement without weight.

This is where the cut’s technical skill shows up most. Point-cutting the fringe at different angles prevents a blunt, helmet-like effect (but only if you commit to the fringe). The fringe needs to move; if it doesn’t, ask your stylist to resoften it with additional point-cutting. Not for very thick hair—point-cutting might not remove enough bulk to create that delicate effect you’re after.

The apricot crush hair color shown pairs beautifully because the softness of the cut gives the warmth somewhere to land. Styling takes minutes: blow-dry the fringe to the side, scrunch texture spray into the rest. Effortlessly chic.

Jet Black Bixie Haircut

Blunt cuts demand precision and confidence—there’s nowhere for imperfection to hide. This bixie keeps the perimeter completely blunt while the internal structure stays layered, creating a graphic silhouette that reads crisp and modern. Blunt perimeter held its sharp line for 3 weeks, requiring precise trims to maintain shape, which is the real cost of this cut beyond the salon price. Blunt cutting creates maximum density and a graphic line, giving a solid, weighty feel that works even on fine hair because you’re concentrating weight intentionally.

The jet black color intensifies the graphic quality—there’s no softness, no fade, no apology. Every edge reads sharp. Styling is straightforward: blow-dry smooth or add texture spray for movement. The commitment is the maintenance, probably worth the consultation at least to see if your stylist can execute the blunt line cleanly. Some stylists cut blunt with a clipper (faster, cleaner lines); others use scissors (more control). Ask which method they use before booking.

This jet black bixie haircut belongs on someone who wants structure, not softness. The grow-out timeline is tight—you’ll notice fuzzy edges by week 4. Sharp. Clean. Modern.

Auburn Bixie Haircut

This cut is designed to move. The entire structure uses razor-cutting to remove weight and create texture that works with thick, wavy, or medium texture hair—not recommended for very fine hair where razor-cutting might do too much damage. Razored layers on thick hair created a ‘worn-in’ feel that air-dried perfectly with texture spray, and honestly that was the moment I stopped resisting shaggy bixies. Heavy razor cutting removes significant weight, creating a textured, shaggy effect that emphasizes natural waves, so the cut itself does most of the styling work.

The auburn color gives warmth without commitment—it reads like a natural dimension rather than a color treatment, which means the grow-out feels intentional instead of sloppy. This heavily razored cut needs styling products to define texture, not just air dry (my favorite kind of messy). You’re looking at a spray or paste to activate the texture, especially on days when humidity isn’t doing it for you.

The grow-out plan sold me. Unlike blunt cuts where growth looks like a mistake, this shag gets better as it grows—more layers appear, more texture emerges. Trim every 6–7 weeks to maintain shape, but the in-between is low-pressure. Best on: thick, wavy, or medium texture hair that already wants to move. The auburn bixie haircut rewards texture instead of fighting it.

Final Thoughts

The salon summer bixie haircut 2026 isn’t a trend that rewards perfection—it rewards texture, movement, and the kind of confidence that comes from a cut that actually works with your hair instead of against it. You’ve now got five distinct approaches, from the precision of an undercut to the forgiving layers of a shag-bixie. Pick the one that matches your maintenance tolerance and your actual hair texture, not the Instagram version of your hair texture.

The real test? How it looks in week three, when the salon shine has faded and you’re just living in it. That’s when you’ll know if you nailed the bixie or if you’re already mentally booking a corrective appointment.
