Of course, the bob is a timeless and incredibly attractive hairstyle that suits every type of woman. But for some people the classic has become a bit too neutral or perhaps too boring. If you also want a bit of variety without making a radical change, the boxie hairstyle for women is just the thing! A short hairstyle that combines the pixie and bob with a touch of box bob with its pep and turns into a perfect combination. Try them out to start 2023 on trend.
This is what the trendy haircut looks like
The cut is not only shorter than a bob, but also not as blunt. Right herecomes the pixieinto play: its upbeat fringes loosen up the bob cut, so that you also get something of the pixie cut, just long. Although the blunt cut is missing here, the boxie hairstyle also inherits something from the box bob, especially if you opt for bangs. We remind you that, in contrast to the boxie cut, this is straight and cut at approximately chin height, but it is similar to the latter due to its box-like properties and makes even thin hair appear more voluminous. This is also the reason why it is ideal for women with thin hair.
The length of the hairstyle is somewhere between pixie and bob, so you have free choice in this regard. A special feature of the Boxie hairstyle is the back of the head, which is particularly used to incorporate the fringed look of the pixie.
Is the hairstyle easy to care for?
Unlike very short haircuts, you don't need to have this style trimmed often to keep it in shape. Only blunt cuts or the A-line, as well as bangs, may need to be trimmed more frequently. Otherwise, it's enough to visit your hairdresser once a month or every month and a half. When it comes to daily styling, the Boxie hairstyle is also very easy to care for, as we will explain at the end.
The difference to the Bixie Cut
It is difficult to set clear boundaries that distinguish the two stylings, as they share many characteristics. Both are based on the bob and pixie. In general, there are no strict rules regarding all hair styling as there are always variations to each one. So the boxie hairstyle, if it is a little shorter, could definitely be used as aLong Pixiego through or if it is longer and more layered than Long Shaggy Bob.
The name should therefore only serve as a guide before you discuss the details with your stylist.

The alternative bob hairstyle cut short with an undercut
A variant that was very popular in the 90s is this onemit Undercut, in which the lower parts (also on the sides) were cut shorter and were partially covered by the top hair. A striking cut that even emphasizes the pep of the pixie. But it doesn't have to be a radical shave. These sections of hair are welcome to stay a little longer.
Create an undone effect with the haircut
If you love the wild, messy look on your head, you can achieve this with the Boxie hairstyle in two ways: Either you have a lot of layers cut into the top hair and fringed ends (Choppie Boxie) or you create the styling yourself yourself by simply kneading the basic hairstyle at the back of the head with the help of styling products (Undone Boxie). With both variants you can enhance the effect even further by adding oneAdd bangs(let).
Feathered boxie hairstyle for fine, thin hair
We have already mentioned that the boxie cut is also ideal for women with thin hair. However, you can add even more volume with the feathered version, as this not only focuses on the back of the head as usual, but also extends to the side areas.
Asymmetrical blunt cut for traditionalists
Do you prefer something classic and not too rocky and cheeky? Then just let more bob shine through instead of the pixie. You can achieve this, for example, with a blunt cut like thisat Blunt Bob, but of course still with the layered look of the pixie. The hair styling ultimately looks more elegant this way. This variant can also be combined with the trendy A-line, where the hair is slightly shorter at the back and longer towards the front (perhaps this will tempt you to incorporate the undercut).
Style the boxie hairstyle correctly depending on your hair structure
Short hairstyles are very easy to care for when it comes to styling and boxie hair is no exception. What works best depends primarily on the cut and hair structure, but in general:
- Less layered hair that tends to be straight can be styled wonderfully with a curling iron or straightening iron (don't forget heat protection!).
- You get volume at the rootwith the help of dry shampooor special spray for the roots.
- For more layered or curly hair, knead with hair wax for a more upbeat look. Curls can also be styled very well with mousse.
- You can shape thick hair with a round brush and hairdryer.
- You can wave thin hair, but you can also straighten it, provided you also use a volume spray so that the hair doesn't look so tangled.
