If the mullet had become trendy, it has now given way to its little sister, the Mixie cut. A short style, easier to adopt, which will be on many heads this year.
Trends come and go, and thus allow some to make an unexpected comeback, as was the case for the mule sometime ago. Singer Miley Cyrus has it herself brought up to date, and converted some, but many were doubtful about the return of this men’s cut. This summer, the short bob should be popular, but a completely different style should compete with it.
This is the ‘mixie’ cut, the mullet’s little sister. It’s a short cut, combined with bangs, curtain or straighter, depending on what you want. The hair is super short in the front, and the length is left behind, falling to the nape of the neck. Very rock, this cut is a mix between the pixie and the mullet. However, it can be suitable for an elegant style, by being well straightened for example, and shorter at the back.

Can we easily adopt the mixie cut?
A professional hairstylist answered Real Simple’s questions, explaining who this trendy cut would look best on. The latter was very optimistic on this subject, and wanted to be very reassuring for all those who are trying to take the plunge: “The mixie cut is flattering on all face shapes and works well with most hair textures, including curly hair. Saviano explained.
He then continued: “The only hair texture I won’t suggest is fine or fine hair,” he delivered. Indeed, the fine texture of the hair will prevent the volume necessary to create the mixie cut, given that there are several ‘layers’ to build up. Thick hair will be perfect for adopting it, otherwise the expected result will fall through. As for styling this cut, straightening will offer a much more elegant style, and waving or curling, a more rock and modern spirit. The majority of inspirations for this cut show models with natural, supple and wavy hair.
