According to Neale Rodger, style director for STIL Salon , the pixie-bob (or bixie) cut is “incredibly easy to manage and dries in minutes—although you still get movement and softness without keeping lots of hair around your face and neck.” For those seeking a style that keeps the hair completely off the neck in the most elegant way, Rodger suggests applying a smoothing cream or lightweight gel to damp hair before combing through and securing it into a low bun. A half-down style looks put-together with minimal effort, but it’s not as easy to create on a jaw-length bob cut—especially on straighter hair and ends that are blunt and sharp.
