When we think of trending shorter haircuts, it’s fair to say that bob hairstyles get a lot of the airtime. At this point, when you look back at the sea of buzzy nicknamed styles we’ve seen trend over the past few years, from the Scandi bob to the Riviera bob, I think it’s now more accurate to say we’re in the decade of bob trends. That said, various pixie haircuts continue to creep back onto trend agenda, too—and this season, the grown-out pixie is having her moment in the sun.
“I think the resurgence of the grown-out or longer pixie cut this season taps into a broader movement all leaning towards effortless, lived-in hair that still feels polished and fashion-forward,” says Neale Rodger, style director at STIL London. “It sits perfectly at the intersection of low maintenance and editorial style and reflects a shift away from ultra-structured or high-commitment looks, moving towards soft structure and natural movement.” As such, “Many people who initially chopped their hair are now embracing the in-between lengths rather than rushing back to ultra short crops,” he adds.
