What I Wore

Shorter Bixie

My hair will get shorter and shorter, since I'm a SHP (Short Hair Person).

For the next year, I'm settled on this short bixie. (Waving to my bixie sisters, Dee and Sal!) I like the versatility of the length and style! It's sharp yet soft.

This time, I have the long fringe to go with the look. Before, I was growing out my fringe and other odd layers. This is intentional!

Had the front lightened a bit.

Came from the salon with it straight. Wore it straight the next day too.

Wearing it wavy and asymmetrical today. Plus WIW today. All old items
(2 to 10 years).

I feel energized with short hair! Thanks for looking, and listening to my hair project xo

Your energy jumps out of these delightful photos - you look picture perfect. I really love how this length draws the eye to your face. It had been very fun to see you grow out your hair and all of the stages in-between. Your commitment to styling and healthy hair has meant you have looked fabulous at every stage of this journey.

I absolutely love it . My favourite yet ! You really do look fashion forward with this type of cut . It suits the bold colours of the clothes you wear too .

Your hair looks gorgeous! Love the new cut. I feel as if it definitely brings zing. All the attention goes to your face and your beautiful eyes -- except the attention left over for your killer outfits! So fun to see these vivid pinks and blues on you. You seem to be able to look fab in just about any colour in your general palette!. From the calmest neutrals to the most brilliant oranges, blues, pinks, orang-reds, yellows!

Lovely straight and wavy. Your pink coat is so beautiful.

Great haircut and styling! You have beautiful healthy hair that can carry different styles - all are very pretty on you ( feeling a bit envious since my thin/fine hair can only handle pixie cut ).
Love light blue on you - YLF!

Perfecto!!! I love this hairstyle. Suits you so much! I had a similar style some years ago - perhaps a little longer - but I abandoned it after a particularly wet, humid summer when it drove me crazy trying to keep it looking sharp. I think I am a long hair person (LHP), ha ha.

Fab evolution of your hairstyle! Looks great straight and with a wave/curl.

So super pretty on you Angie and as you've mentioned I'm a big bixie fan myself. I've always found this shorter style much easier to manage especially if you have really fine hair but want to maintain that polished look.

Love that floral sweater with the faded widelegs. Your soft waves are the perfect compliment to the outfit.

This cut and style suits you so well! It conveys your personality and is super flattering on your face and frame.

Lovely haircut I like it straight best. You are so adventurous with your hair. I think if I grew my hair as you did over several years I would be too scared to ever cut it short again in case I’d regret the cut and have to start all over again.

It looks great! I like both versions, but the wavy version a bit more. Is this different from an inverted bob?

Always gorgeous! Love the short hair, and the slightly wavy!

Thanks do much, everyone!

Bijou, on my word. What a lovely thing to say! I'm in awe of you generous compliments. Much appreciated!

Lisa, fellow SHP! Appreciate the kind words and positive reinforcement!

Suz, another SHP! Such kind words, and fun colour analysis! (You and LJP remarked on a similar thing!). The word "zing" makes me smile, and thank you

Star, Judy and Carla, thank you! Lovely when you chime in.

Slim Cat, fellow SHP! Thanks for the sweet words! I have fine and thin hair. I find that the shorter length makes it look fuller! Your pixie is fantastic on you

Brooklyn, appreciate the hair affection and compliments! Know all too well how hard it is to keep hair looking sharp in high humidity. You make it look easy! Your long ombréd hair works beautifully with your chic boho style, so glad you found a solution!

Dee, my bixie style sister! Your pretty bixie suits your natural grace and refinement! YES to the length being sooooo much easier to manage than long hair. Thanks for the compliments!

Janet, thanks for the awfully kind words!

Pirouette, I am adventurous with the style of my hair - but not the colour. I've had every style except a mullet, shag or perm! And good grief, it's a SLOG growing out a very short pixie. It's very satisfying cutting hair off though - especially when you are a SHP

JAileen, hubs Greg prefers it wavy too

An inverted bob is wedged at the back. My hair is not wedged, IYKWIM. It has a few textured layers to facilitate movement and interest. Hope that makes sense!

This cut looks terrific on you! I had my longish bob recently cut short, too. It is so much easier to care for, probably because I use the flat iron so much to keep it straight.

Irina

Veteran

Angie, your new haircut looks fantastic. I think this one is the best ever! You look stunning with it!
My hair grows fast, often faster than I would want it to grow. Maybe this is why I get bored with it so often

Sal

Yay!! Welcome back to the club! Love it as you would expect.

I had mine evened up last week. So nice to have it off my neck.

bonnie, my bob style sister! I love your short bob! Suits you perfectly, and thank you.

Irina, such high praise, and I'm blushing. Thanks so much! You're lucky that your hair grows fast! Easy to change up Have you tried putting a wave in your hair?

Sal, my bixie style sister! Your very layered bixie is a perfect match for your Sporty Charlie's Angels look! Especially when you wear your aviators and look sooooo good! Thanks for the compliment.

You look so beautiful! A great way to top off all of your gorgeous outfits! Just in time for the holiday season!

Irina

Veteran

Angie, yes, I tried to put a wave with some styling products and scrunching it. I avoid using heat as it’s too damaging to my fine hair. It doesn’t hold styling well anyway, it worked when I colored my hair.

Laurie

Fabulous cut and love it styled both ways, Angie. I understand that aspect of feeling energized when a cut/style is just right. I know the flip side of that too - it can be a dark place!

Pink, blue, and cream suits your eyes, complexion, and hair so beautifully. All of your recent outfit postings have been so fantastic, and I haven't even had words. So unlike me!

Firecracker (Sharan)

It looks fantastic, Angie! So fun that you can wear it straight or wavy.

I understand feeling energized with short hair. I am enjoying my recent cut with layers and expect I will go shorter again at some point, too.

Yes you are a SHP and a gorgeous one at that! (I think I am a SHP too in my own way.) The cut is so good - the back of your hair falls beautifully. You know I am always a tiny bit partial to your natural waves, but this truly works perfectly both ways. And what a delight to see you in that bright pink coat and fab jeans. You've never looked better (as good many times though ).

Sabrina, thanks for the extra good cheer, and sweet words!

Irina, yes! One needs to watch the heat with fine hair. I've found that a heat protectant works well, and a light spritz of hairspray does wonders keeping waves in place.

Laurie, awwwh! You are very kind, and thanks so much. And I know, right? It helps us feel fab when our hair is right

Sharan, thanks for the lovely compliments, and for getting what it means to feel energized by shorter hair! Your new layers are awesome!

Jaime, you ARE a SHP! Your salty curly asymmetrical cut goes down in the YLF Hall of Fame! Thanks for the awfully generous words

Getting shorter cuts feels always fresh and looks sharper-matching so well with your bright outfits , Angie! Love that natural wave- enhaced with an iron, or how? You have great hair (color, texture, volume, style) no matter the length!

Very pretty Angie! You’ve had a few hair adventures in recent years!
You know I am certainly a SHP- just clocking up 30 years I have had a pixie for now.
