A short cut frees you from knots, elaborate hairstyles and all the heavy weight that long hair brings. However, pixie cuts must still be maintained and may require new beauty rituals to take care of them at their best.
Steps
Step 1. Get a spray bottle and fill it with water
The pillow is one of the main enemies of short hair, so in the morning sprinkle some water on the hair and comb it as you wish.
Step 2. Try using a styling product
A dab of gel can be of great help in taming short hair. If they're straight, a texturizing gel or spray can also help you get more volume, as some cuts flatten them.
Step 3. Experiment with the frequency of washing
The length of the hair does not affect the production of sebum by the scalp. However, short hair can harden or form spiky locks as soon as it gets even slightly fat. If this happens to you, wash them a little more often than you did when you had them long.
Step 4. Use less shampoo and conditioner
Short hair does not need much conditioner, in fact the sebum can easily distribute itself on the lengths and ends. In the case of dry hair, you must also reduce the amount of shampoo, because overdoing it can dry out and damage it or irritate the scalp. Try skipping one or both products every three showers, especially if you need to wash them more frequently.
- 2-in-1 conditioner shampoos help reduce the amount of conditioner used.
- An anti-frizz or straightening shampoo can help those who struggle to keep the new cut under control.
Step 5. Be careful when using the hair dryer
Short hair tends to wrinkle and get electrified when blow-dried. It is usually best to let them air dry. If you use a hairdryer, set it to the minimum temperature and help style them with a coarse round brush.
If you want to make them voluminous, "crumpling" them from the bottom upwards will allow you to obtain a more homogeneous result than the hair dryer
Step 6. Try out different hairstyles
Combing short hair takes less time, the problem is that it can change quickly as it grows. So you have to get ready to change the line, tick the bangs or try other experiments to always have them beautiful.
Step 7. Make an appointment at the hairdresser to have them cut
Many short hair cuts require a trim every four to six weeks and a full cut every two to three months. If you let them grow, you risk ending up with a bowl cut.
