Refinery29 highlights 3 haircut trends

Refinery29 on August 5 published a street-style beauty roundup from Copenhagen Fashion Week that centered on three haircut shapes: butterfly layers, the bixie and the sharp bob. The article, written by Jacqueline Kilikita, said the Danish capital’s “best-dressed attendees” had turned up with “an array of enviable cuts” during the Spring/Summer 2027 shows. Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official schedule lists the SS27 season as running from August 3 through August 7, 2026, marking the event’s 20th-anniversary edition. The haircut piece was illustrated with Getty Images from guests and showgoers photographed around the city. ### Which cuts did Refinery29 pick out in Copenhagen? Refinery29’s August 5 article named butterfly layers, the bixie and razor-sharp bobs as the standout haircut trends in its Copenhagen street-style gallery. The piece also referred to “soft, invisible layers” that created a cascading effect and to “‘70s-inspired layers” among the looks seen during the week. (refinery29.com) Jacqueline Kilikita wrote that butterfly layers were “taking over Copenhagen Fashion Week” and said they looked strongest when styled with “volume and movement.” The bixie — a hybrid of a bob and a pixie — appeared in the same roundup as part of what Refinery29 presented as salon-ready inspiration drawn from the street rather than the runway. ### Where were these images coming from? (refinery29.com) Refinery29’s gallery credited Getty Images photographers including Christian Vierig and Edward Berthelot in images surfaced from Copenhagen during the shows. The article was published on August 5, while the official Copenhagen Fashion Week calendar shows presentations, talks and runway events continuing through August 7. (refinery29.com) Copenhagen Fashion Week said in a May 29 announcement that SS27 would include 34 shows and presentations. The organization describes itself as the biggest fashion week in Northern Europe and says it is held twice a year, in January-February and August. ### Why do butterfly layers and bixies keep resurfacing? Refinery29 had already identified both layered cuts and bixie variations in earlier 2026 trend coverage before the Copenhagen street-style report. (refinery29.com) In a May 13 article on spring haircut ideas, the outlet referred to a “hydro bixie,” and in a May 28 summer haircut report it listed bobs and shaggy layers among the season’s leading cuts. (copenhagenfashionweek.com) The January 5 Refinery29 roundup of haircut trends set to define 2026 also pointed to bobs and modern shag shapes as recurring styles. That earlier coverage gives context for why the Copenhagen report framed the street-style looks as wearable versions of cuts already circulating in salon trend coverage. ### What does “sharp bob” mean in this context? Refinery29’s Copenhagen gallery used “razor-sharp bobs” to describe one of the dominant silhouettes in the street-style images. (refinery29.com) The wording points to blunt, precise lines rather than softer or more textured bob shapes, a distinction the outlet has also used in prior seasonal haircut coverage. The Copenhagen images paired that sharper outline with other controlled shapes, including sculptural braids and layered cuts, rather than presenting one single uniform look. (refinery29.com) Refinery29 said the result was “plenty of inspiration” for readers planning a salon appointment. ### What happens next at Copenhagen Fashion Week? Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official site says the SS27 schedule continues through Friday, August 7, with physical showcases, events, talks and activations still on the calendar. (refinery29.com) The organization has also published the full show-and-presentation lineup for the anniversary season on its website, where the remaining SS27 programming can be tracked by date.
