Gracie Abrams nape-length bixie is our summer hair inspiration

We’re torn between what to do with our hair, because on the one hand, Mika Abdalla has got us desperate for an Off-Campus shag (the haircut), but Gracie Abrams? Well, she’s got us ready to lop the lot off.

Despite lopping her hair into a bixie at the start of the year, searches around Gracie’s hair have started spiking again recently. It might be the heatwave, it might be that we’re ready for something different, but word from some of our favourite top hair stylists is: short haircuts are reallyyyyy taking off.

What is Gracie Abrams haircut?

Gracie lifted her hair length from a bob, to a bixie. “It’s a hybrid of a bob and a pixie, and it’s one of the most flattering cuts we’re seeing right now,” explains Lilli Bridger at top London salon, Larry King.

“What makes it different from a classic bob is the added graduation through the back and the softer, more face-framing shape through the front. By removing some of the weight and lifting the corners, you create a silhouette that feels lighter, fresher and more modern than a traditional bob,” Lilli adds.

How to style Gracie’s cut

The cute cut can work perfectly across a range of textures – in fact, we’ve also seen this particular chop go stratospheric thanks to the love that Zendaya has shown for it. She debuted a curly pixie earlier this year, too and has kept the crop into summer.

“For straight hair, the bixie is fantastic because it creates the appearance of more volume and movement, especially if your hair tends to feel flat. The face-framing elements also help highlight your features in a really flattering way,” says Lilli.
