The pixie cut, a classic buzz cut or a bob – there is an art
to taking care of short hair and retain its shape.
Make your chic and edgy cut look last longer with our top hair secrets.
Rule 1: Comb it less frequently
Short hair is less likely to tangle than long hair. Brushing it through with fingers is generally enough to shape and style it. For some texture, avoid brushes and manipulate it with your fingertips.
Rule 2: Do weekly hair conditioning treatments
Condition your hair regularly to keep it soft and shiny. Apply a small amount of leave-in-conditioner to your hair, starting from the ends and working your way to the roots.
Rule 3: Care for your scalp
Apply nourishing oils, like castor and coconut, to your scalp as not only do they help with hydration and growth but they also encourage natural scalp oil reproduction. Those with dry or curly hair will benefit most from these ingredients.
Additionally, you can massage your scalp regularly to improve blood circulation and promote a healthier scalp and hair.
Rule 4: Heat-protect it
If you want to add some extra volume or texture to your pixie cut, use heat tools, such as a curling wand or flat iron. However, make sure to use a heat protectant spray or serum before styling to avoid damaging your hair. Additionally, avoid using heat tools on wet hair as this can cause your strands to break and become frizzy.
Rule 5: Protect your hair
Use protective measures to make your style last longer, like wrapping your hair at night, sleeping with a bonnet and using a silk or satin pillowcase.
