She proves that a hairstyle can be the pinnacle of femininity and modernity. By adopting an easy-going style, she officially launches the major hair trend of 2026, combining boldness and simplicity.
It’s a transformation that doesn’t go unnoticed. While hair trends often oscillate between voluminous extensions and ultra-worked hairstyles, Rama Duwaji takes the opposite view with refreshing audacity. The illustrator revealed a short, clean and unadorned cut, which contrasts radically with the usual standards of public appearances. This aesthetic choice, far from being trivial, resonates as a self-affirmation, proving that elegance is not a question of length, but of attitude.
Gone are the days of endless blow-drying. During the inauguration of her husband, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Rama Duwaji shone with a refreshing beauty look. What catches the attention is this liberating hair choice: the bixie. Halfway between the short bob and the boyish cut, it is the ideal solution for those who want movement without the restrictive maintenance of long hair. It’s a “living” hairstyle, which fits naturally. Her hairdresser, Xavier Velasquez, explains that the idea is to let the hair breathe and live its own life, often without even needing heat. “Rama cut her bangs herself the morning of election day“, explains the hairstylist to Vogue magazine. A healthy approach that appeals to those who want to take care of their hair without spending hours on it.
The craze is immediate in the world of beauty: “The Rama” promises to be the number one request in salons this year. It’s the perfect cut to energize a face and simplify your daily routine. The secret to a successful bixie? It is a cut adapted to your face and a slightly textured finish thanks to a suitable spray, just enough to give relief. For those who are hesitant, there are even “softer” variations offering more length while keeping a youthful and light line. And what about color? Rama opts for a dark shade that highlights her cut without overdoing it.
So, are you ready to follow suit? If this hybrid cut is so appealing, it is because it finally offers the ideal compromise between sharp style and ease of daily maintenance.
