Zaya Wade [1] just debuted a hair metamorphosis. The model and activist appeared on the latest cover of Dazed and Confused magazine [2] sporting a "mixie" haircut [3], a popular haircut trend [4]that we've seen pop up repeatedly over the last month. Celebrity hairstylist Miles Jeffries [5] created the look for Wade, which was shared on March 16 via Instagram. Wade's take on the trend features a deep side part and side-swept bangs [6].

The cut, which first began gaining traction in January 2022, is similar to the "bixie [7]." "A mixie is an edgy haircut that is longer in the back, like a mullet, and short, like a pixie, in the front," celebrity hairstylist Jenny Cho [8] previously told POPSUGAR. The cut is great for all hair types and textures and is known for its versatility when it comes to styling.

The mixie has become a popular choice for celebrities, with stars like Lisa Rinna [9], Bella Hadid, and Kristen Stewart [10] all wearing the look.
