The Bixie Suits Oval Faces Easily

Why It Works

The bixie sits between a pixie and a bob, and an oval face — balanced in its proportions — wears it without needing any corrective shaping. That means you can lean the cut more pixie (shorter, edgier) or more bob (longer front, softer) purely by preference, and either reads well. The textured crown and longer front pieces flatter the balanced canvas of an oval face without distorting it, and you have free rein on bangs, part, and how piece-y to keep the texture. The only thing to watch is the same caution that applies to any short cut on an oval face: keep enough length or texture to avoid a severe, head-hugging shape that hides the balanced features.
