The mixie is actually a combination of the mullet and the pixie cut. It has become very trendy because its an interesting take on two popular hairstyles, giving you an edgy look without the fuss. Celebrities like Noomi Rapace, Úrsula Corberó, Demi Lovato, and Florence Pugh have been seen rocking this look. However, to get that ultimate clean and sleek look, you need to get rid of frizzy ends. A great way to do that is through velaterapia or Brazilian hair burning, which involves an expert practitioner singeing off the ends of your hair with a candle and methodically removing all split ends. This gives your hair a shinier and healthier look.
The Wavy Lob
During the summer, when women don’t want to cut their hair too short, they usually go for a lob, which is short for long bob. A lob is a cut wherein the hair ends somewhere between the chin and collarbone, which beautifully frames the face. For this summer, it’s all about styling the bob with a casual side part and with some waves, maybe even with a fringe, like the blunt fringe Princess Sofia of Sweden sported earlier this year. Meanwhile, the wavy lob provides a relaxed, yet chic look. You can take inspiration from Laura Harrier and Selena Gomez who have been seen in this hairstyle.
