10. Cropped Butterfly Bixie Hybrid
Setup Method
The cropped butterfly bixie hybrid merges the short length of a pixie-bob with the signature multi-tiered layers of a butterfly cut. The back and nape are cut to clear the neck, while the top canopy and temple sections retain sufficient length to form distinct, outward-curving wings across the cheekbones. This cut keeps the neck cool and defined while providing the dimensional volume of a layered blowout across the top of the head. It is an ideal transition cut for women growing out short hair or for those who want the lightness of a short cut paired with soft face framing.

Begin by sectioning the lower nape from ear to ear and cutting a soft, tapered graduation using scissor-over-comb techniques. Isolate the top horseshoe panel, elevate it to ninety degrees, and point-cut horizontally to establish a textured canopy that falls to the mid-ear level. Slide-cut the front temporal pieces forward to create small, outward-curling wings that rest across the cheekbones. Style by applying a lightweight styling mousse to towel-dried hair, wrap-drying the nape flat against the head with a small brush, and lifting the top layers upward with a mini ceramic round brush to flick the front wings outward.
