If 2024 was defined by a hairstyle, it would be the bob in all its bouncy, voluminous glory. And the latest 90s throwback to come back into fashion is the effortlessly chic bixie cut.

Think Halle Berry, Meg Ryan (or almost any other cool girl of the 90s) and picture the textured, choppy cut that can be tousled into shape with a run-through of your fingers.

A playful spin on a traditional bob, this hairstyle is a hybrid of two timeless styles as it combines elements of a bob with a pixie cut – as the name suggests.

It’s an edgier alternative to a typical blunt bob with the texture of a French bob and the eternal appeal of the mid-length shag or wolf-cut for its low-maintenance styling routine.

The nostalgic style has been perfected by the likes of Florence Pugh, Zoe Kravitz and Sarah Paulson, and Mitch Zidu, director of Studio58 salon, is on-hand to walk us through how to recreate this sought-after style.
