How To: The BIXIE Haircut Tutorial (Bob & Pixie Combo)

Hey guys! This video is a tutorial on how to do the Bixie haircut. This haircut is a mixture between the Bob and the Pixie haircut. It is shaped like a Bob, only layered up top and in the front with face framing pieces like a Pixie. I used a feather razor to do this entire cut, as well as a straight shear to texturize the hair after it was dried. There are a number of different variations for this cut, and you can choose to go shorter in the back and more stacked than I did in the demonstration. You can also layer the top more if you want shorter layers and a whispier cut. Just make sure that you follow the correct angles when adding your layers to ensure the same shape of the cut. Let me know in the comments if you’d like to see more of this type of content! And isn’t my mom’s natural hair color gorgeous? I can only hope that mine grays like that when I get older!

[@terrigronewold9898]

How does she keep from cutting her fingers !?

[@haveagoodhairday]

Great question! I use what’s called a “feather razor” and it has guards on it so you can’t cut yourself, but the hair slips through the guards and gets cut!

[@lolainma3218]

I wanted to take hairdressing in high school and my mother wouldn’t allow it. I’m 73 yrs old now but watching this excellent tutorial on your beautiful Mom made me realize how much I really would have loved that career.

[@haveagoodhairday]

Aww. While I have loved this career dearly, it certainly hasn’t come without its challenges! ❤️

[@kimberlyroy1157]

I am 65 and I also wanted to be a hairdresser after I graduated high school. My father talked me out of it, said I'd be standing on my feet all day and hairdressers didn't have any benefits. My mother said we already had too many hairdressers in the family. LOL

[@janicestoodley936]

Your moms hair looks gorgeous!

[@bonniecarere5760]

I'm 78, and this happened to me at age 16. My dad asked me what I wanted to do ....go to business college or hair dressing school. I chose hair dressing and then he said "I changed my mind l will send you to business college and pay for it, you will have your hair a different color every week and I don't want that". Now I watch tutorials. Cut my husband's hair and get mine styled by my granddaughter Rachel who is my hairdresser. 😊

[@doumkatekz]

Maybe you still could, at least as a side job. My friend cuts her other friends hair.

[@grandmaB1948]

I'm 75 and became a hair stylist in the late 1960s. The cut you just did was in those days just a basic short hair cut. The cut was done with just a razor. We learned to texturize with the razor as the cut was done, not after with scissors. Your new method makes the cut take longer to get the same results. We also use the razor differently. The cutting was done from the head to the outside of the hand, not in the hand. That's why we could texturize as the hair was being cut.

[@haveagoodhairday]

Yep there are many ways to do things! I also learned to texturize with a razor but I 100% prefer to texturize this way. I feel it’s way more precise but that’s just me! Everyone has their own style and way of doing things, this is just mine 🙂

[@mykopg]

Your Mom has such beautiful hair and she’s so pretty! How lucky she is to have you for a daughter!

[@lydiawilliams3117]

And how lucky you are because you'll probably be as beautiful when you reach that age! 💕

[@francesshaw2136]

I used to curl and style my mom’s hair between her Dos at the beauty shop. Some of my best memories of the fun we had talking while I did her hair❤

[@marilynegli1779]

I agree. Her natural hair color is beautiful. It looks great with her skin tone too.

[@lfuentes4098]

Yes, it’s beautiful. What type of products does she use to keep it so nice looking?

[@kelliemurphy7933]

That’s a first class hair cut. Beautiful.

[@haveagoodhairday]

Aww thanks so much for your kind words! ❤️❤️

[@kellykersten8828]

[@doloresstatham3022]

It’s me again. Your mother’s hair is beautiful.

[@jopace9118]

The love you show your Mom, by taking such care, while cutting and styling her hair is a grand blessing to her.

[@ankewynmalen1186]

I never like Pixies on old women and I find Bobs often too conservative. This is a great compromise and I am going to have one done on me. Thank you for showing us.

[@grimm0kitten959]

So happy to find your content! Thank you for explaining the whys and hows ❤

[@haveagoodhairday]

[@maryellenzamulinsky2428]

Great hair cut. Love it. I have a bob style cut and I would love to ask my stylist to do this cut on me.

[@hangin-in-thereawesome4245]

Love it! Your mom is a lucky person!!!

[@haveagoodhairday]

❤️❤️❤️

[@janetlentz7180]

Thank you! Your mom’s face shape and hair are much like mine, so I got a good idea what it might look like on me. I was looking for a cut like this.

[@haveagoodhairday]

Great!!

[@Matti294]

Really nice! Beautiful hair! Makes me miss my mom so much! She was my best friend and customer!

[@haveagoodhairday]

❤️❤️❤️

[@nancypeterson5026]

@@haveagoodhairdayeveryone commented on moms hair when I styled and colored it . There are times while I’m dreaming , I’ll think to my self , gosh it’s been awhile since I’ve colored it…. she has passed on some years ago, silly as it is! But to this day I remember that dream!!! I miss my momma. I’ve never told any body about this

[@lindasamuelson4216]

I need to try this with my silver hair!

[@darlenecamus7725]

Wish you'd live not far from me, I would keep you as my hairdresser 😊

[@bg-ij9uc]

you're such a phenomenal explainer. Thank you.

[@haveagoodhairday]

❤️❤️❤️

[@darlenecamus7725]

I liked the way you did it, I cut my own hair and it's always a mess 😅 but it grows back eventually, good job 😊

[@StylesBySummer]

Look at you go! I came across your video I think the day you released it and you're killing it girl! Great tutorial!

[@haveagoodhairday]

❤️❤️❤️

[@LM-qs6eq]

Wow! That was some fast blow drying. 😂 I think the bixie haircut looks great on your mother. You are an awesome hairstylist. Very good at explaining your technique. ❤

[@gendakesterson628]

You did a great job!

[@moniquemanspeaker7803]

I like how good you are with razor

I love this style and it looks beautiful on your beautiful mom😍

[@judymitchell27]

Lovely!

[@brendaabernathy448]

OUTSTANDING VIDEO both as instructions with great haircut. I sure wish I could find someone in my area to get this very haircut. Thank you so much.

[@sharonnycum5414]

Its almost a Dorothy Hamilton cut. The Dorothy Hamilton cut is very classy.

[@marcidunfee6063]

I love this cut! I’m growing out a pixie and I hope soon to have enough length to try this Bixie. 😊 May I ask what shampoo your mom uses for that beautiful silver shine? Thank you

[@haveagoodhairday]

She uses Pravana Purify and Revive because we have such hard water here. That shampoo is great because it removes impurity’s that would dull out her natural color. She doesn’t need any purple or blue shampoo!

[@kathyknuteson2838]

What an excellent tutorial! Your mom's hair is similar to mine, so i think I can pull this off. Do you think it would work for a heart- shaped face?

[@haveagoodhairday]

Thanks so much! And yes, actually in the corresponding blog post I wrote, I talk about how to make this cut work for specific face shapes, and heart is one of them! ❤️ laurakcollins.com/how-to-bixie-haircut-tutorial-feather-razor-cut/

[@user-mn7ns9ec6z]

This is the cut I'm going for. Need a little more length first.

[@Ran_G]

Very nice. Thank you

[@lulabm2438]

Exelente quería ver un corte con navaja gracias

[@user-bs5we9cz3v]

Interesting! I’ve never seen that razor technique where you cut under neither your fingers instead of on top. At first I thought you’d cut your fingers. Also, it must be a pretty sharp blade. Good job!

[@haveagoodhairday]

Yes! This way is the best way to avoid the hair from becoming frizzy. I sometimes change the blade in the middle of a haircut! A sharp blade is crucial to a clean cut! And it is a feather blade, so there is a guard on it and you can’t cut yourself 😊

[@patcohen2463]

Beautiful! How often do you need to trim her hair to keep that style?

[@haveagoodhairday]

Just about every 6 weeks or so! She has been liking it growing out so sometimes she goes up to 8 weeks!

[@judygude]

So cute! Have you tried this on a wavy / frizzy hair person? I think I’d love this cut.

[@haveagoodhairday]

I have! When not blow dried it takes a slightly different shape and it is dependent on the wave pattern of the hair, but one of my clients has a ton of curls especially in the back and she loves this cut!

[@amyserra440]

Should you trim the hair so it’s not tom short

[@retrosilk]

Very nice 👍
