Katherine Langford, is that you?
On August 1, the 29-year-old actor best known for her role in 13 Reasons Why revealed an unreasonably cool pixie mullet on Instagram, courtesy of celebrity hair stylist Halley Brisker.
'Did a thing,' Langford captioned two new photos of her tousled pixie cut, which kept enough length to showcase her signature waves with plenty of volume up top and a gentle flip at the nape of her neck.
'There's a certain length that hits a sweet spot,' Brisker told British Vogue of this 'genderless' style he developed with Langford. 'It gives you multiple haircuts—you can wear it as a pixie, crop or even a super short, jaw-grazing bob. It's basically three styles in one.'
He added, 'When you learn to cut hair, you start at the back of the haircut and work your way up and forward, but with Katherine I started at the front—at the bangs—so that visually we were able to build it together.'
While some fans mourned the loss of Langford's extra-long waves (to whom I say, chill out), many more were obsessed with the cut, including bob queen Lily Collins. 'OMG my hero,' the Emily In Paris star commented. 'This is the coolest ever. You look insane 🔥'
Unlike the '90s pixie cuts that have been trending this summer (see Emma Stone and Brie Larson), Langford's new look feels more like a throwback to the 1950s greaser aesthetic, down to the rolled up sleeve of her loose-fitting white t-shirt in those Instagram pics. Of course, Brisker utilized significantly less pomade for a softer update on the retro style.

This is the pixie cut propaganda I'm definitely falling for this summer.
As for the products he did use, Brisker told British Vogue that he applied Olaplex No 6 onto Langford's hair to keep it 'slippery' while he worked. As for styling the look at home, he suggests applying the same leave-in product on wet hair then using a diffuser to dry the hair about 40% before letting it air dry to achieve the desired texture.
'If your hair is naturally soft and floppy, like a young Leonardo DiCaprio, you may only need No 6,' he said. 'But for coarser hair like Katherine's, I add Bumble & Bumble Grooming Cream for extra grit.'

Listen, bobs may have dominated hair trends for the past few seasons, but pixie cuts are well on their way to becoming the main character haircut of fall 2025. Just ask Stone, Larson, and, now, Katherine Langford.
