Look 20 Years Younger With These 20 Trendy Short Hairstyles

4. The bixie cut

The bixie, that clever in-between style blending a bob and a pixie, continues to get expert attention as one of the big short-hair ideas around right now. It offers the softness of a bob with the lift and shape of a pixie.

This is a wonderful choice if you want short hair but are not ready for a very cropped look. It usually sits around the cheekbones or just below the ears, with a little extra length in front and a lighter, shorter back. That combination can make the whole face look more open. It feels airy and feminine, but also smart and current. Best of all, it often grows out more gracefully than a very short cut.
