This blog is about Pixie cuts, helping you decide on from long hair to shorter hair, different techniques to try, the best products to use, and maintenance requirements.
Pixie cuts will make you fall in love in with yourself even more! This type of style is looked at as more of an intentional style showing who you are personally as it takes the focus off of “long hair” and that being the focal point of attention. This style accentuates more of your features from your face, to your neck and ears.
If you feel that you’ve tried every style under the sun and you change hairstyles frequently, or you simply can’t seem to decide what hair style suits you the most and allows you to showcase more of your personality, a pixie cut may be a great suggestion for you.
“ObviouslyTatiana” on Instagram went from locs to a silk press, then finally to a pixie cut. Her exact words were “I am never going back”. She had locs as a child and was tired of long hair. After her first cut she fell in love and knew this was cut was her style. She is 7 years strong in her hair care journey with maintaining a pixie cut.
This blog is Everything You need To Know About Pixie Cuts
Maintenance Requirements
With a pixie cut you must get accustomed to relaxing your hair every 3-6 months. This helps your hair to lay flat and not have it curl up from the roots.
A clarifying shampoo is recommended a least once a month, more so in the winter to help remove a build up of products in your hair. This will ensure that your hair can be styled correctly.
Washing and styling once a wk. is needed. You’re able to air dry or sit under a dryer whichever is your preference. Sleeping with a satin scarf or on a satin pillowcase is highly recommended as it will prolong the length of your style. However; if you don’t style and mold your pixie cut and don’t use satin products to protect it , the style will last typically for about 3 days.
Try not to wash your hair in the shower, so all the residue from the product does not touch your body. can make you skin break out.
Techniques
If your styling your hair on your own; you must understand different combs have different uses
Relaxed hair is fragile, when shampooing use a wide tooth comb while the hair is wet to prevent potential breakage. For molding the hair you can use a rake comb and a flat tail carbon heat- resistant comb for flat ironed styling, I recommend learning the purpose of each.
If you choose to air dry your hair it’s best to use wrap it strips. Using more than one is suggested. For example, Titana uses approx. 4-7 then places a velcro wrap and a scarf on.
Lastly, the head shape matters as it will make or break the cut! Please never cut your hair when you’re frustrated. Take time to think it through and make this decision when you’re at peace.
