If you’re looking for a short hairstyle to transition your gray grow-out, then look no further than the Bixie. It’s equal parts pixie and equal parts bob. It gives the fullness of a short pixie, while keeping the length and versatility of a bob. Blending these two popular trends is a great way to camouflage gray strands on your journey to being hair color free. As your gray grows in, you can schedule regular haircuts every 4-6 weeks, making it easy to grow your Bixie into a full-blown bob once you’re entirely gray.
The Bixie is a perfect style for women who value freedom and practicality as they grow their gray. It can look as feminine and romantic as you want, while still being incredibly daring and bold with its sharp edges. There’s some versatility that can be done in terms of length, but the tips should be tapered so the cut does not look heavy or bulky. This will allow you to have voluminous layers that will taper around your ears perfectly.
When deciding on which Bixie is right for you, your hairdresser will use your face shape and hair type as guides. It’s a universally flattering cut so there really aren’t any rules as to who can or cannot wear it. The Bixie, when shaped in the right way, is the perfect haircut for fine hair. Strands appear more voluminous through longer layering and texturizing, helping make your hair appear bouncy and manageable.
Styling the Bixie may take some time and practice, and truly a matter of taste and personal preference. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Use a Go Gray Purple Toning Masque to tame frizz, diminish any yellowing of your beautiful gray strands, and to protect your hair when using heat styling tools. After using the masque as suggested, then allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser with your blow dryer on a low heat setting to add more defined waves. Curling irons and straightening irons are also other ways to add more volume. Finally, set the finished style with your favorite hairspray to add shine and prolong its wear time.
Truthfully, no matter how you style your Bixie, it’s a sure way to look amazing in your Go Gray Freedom!
