I’m an old hairdresser, and appreciate that you are educating women on details that make a difference!
I literally feel the MOST beautiful and Feminine when I have a pixie cut! I keep coming back to this cut too! Thanks for this video ❤
Me too!
A PIXJE UT IS A LOT OF PIXIES N FULL WITH LIXIES
Feminine? 🤣🤣

Once you go pixie, you never go back. Thanks for all the tips, JUSTIN!
Literally, so true. I have not had long hair in 5 years bc of this cut!!! And I'm in my early 30s
Absolutely
I hate my pixie my face is so round I'm just trying to find out how to style it🤷♀️
My hair goes flat as soon as i walk out the door! I have a pixie and have never tried a wax! I would love a video tutorial on how to texturize with a wax! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! I’m stoked I can help. I will definitely consider a video on that topic! Thanks for the suggestion!
I have fine hair that is getting thinner as I get older. It tends to go flat on top, and gets frizzy too, if it’s humid out….but I found a great product that gives so much volume, and keeps my style. I use a blow dry cream with heat protectant on wet hair, then let my hair air dry a little. When it’s about 60-70% dry I spray the roots/layers on the top with ColorWow Raise the Root and blow dry with a round brush, using the cool setting before taking the brush out. You can use it on dry hair too, I think I’ve tried pretty much every volumizing spray on the planet, this one really works. It made the rounds on TikTok, maybe last year, hear, but I don’t watch TikTok. I just saw it in the store and thought I’d give it a try. So glad I did, hope they never stop making it. I’ve used other volumizing products from ColorWow and wasn’t impressed, but this one really does the job.
Can you demonstrate your tips on one of your clients? It would be so nice to see a before and after.
Thank you so much! This has addressed so many of my questions about why pixies could be so flattering but sometimes aren't!
Thanks for the tips!!! Can I please make a request??? I'd love to see a demonstration on the proper way to use pomade/wax in short hair. I'm afraid I'll use to much and make my hair look greasy and if i use too little, then it doesn't do much!!! Would really appreciate seeing some demos on this 🙂
Thank you! I will definitely consider this topic for an upcoming video! Thanks for the feedback!
@Justin Hickox 🙂 Thank you! I'm pretty much hopeless when it comes to hair!!!!
I have the same problem with my fine hair/pixie!
Look for a product designated as a 'matte wax' or 'dry wax' and try it out on a day when your hair's already dirty and you're staying home and it doesn't matter. Wax is pliable and endlessly reworkable, so just play! If your hair looks greasy and flat, blast it with a blowdryer on a cold setting for half a minute -- and play some more!
I’ve been using Enjoy wax and it does pretty good but I just can’t find a good, hard hold, hairspray.
You are amazing! Lost my hair to chemo. Now have a pixie. Lots of compliments but don’t know what to do now that it is growing. This was such a help. God bless you ❤
Hi! This is me exactly. I was going to ask about the growing out, shaping, etc. I was even going to ask Justin to maybe do a video on chemo hair loss and regrowth/styling. BTW, love the pixie. My hair is curly.
Blessings to you for health & happiness.🙏🏼🌅
Go back to who made the hairdresser. Surely, your hair didn’t just morph into a pixie on its own🤭
I have had a pixie cut for decades and love it. My natural hairline is a "V". Most hairdressers will cut it straight across before doing anything else. I now tell them to leave my "V " alone!
Love the tip of "non-directional" drying. I am working on this to lessen my cowlicks and to help add volume to the top of my bob. I have had "pixie" cuts in the past (...and long layered shags along with many other styles). Once I reach my desired target weight in my journey to better health, I might do a pixie again. Change can be liberating!
Awesome! So glad you’re learning that technique! It’s a huge help!!!
@@justinhickox I LOVE MY COWLICKS
Immensely helpful for my new pixie. Just washed it, and used the nondirectional drying, and let the cut work for me. Like it much better. Thx. Appreciate your great tips.
Hack #3 Non-Directional Drying blew my mind! I never once thought about the logic behind air-drying your hair and expecting it to behave the way you want it to behave. It makes total sense to me now why my hair won't do what I want it to do because I'm just hoping for the best...with no effort at all on my part. (In all honesty, the no-effort-part is exactly why I got a pixie in the first place, but, I'm so desperate to love my pixie that I'll take this tip and give it a try). Thanks so much for sharing your guidance with us!
That was timely! I was just having a “should I grow it” moment, now you’ve given me something to play with!
Appreciate that you are showing sexy short cuts that are as feminine as long hair. I’m rocking short at 63 and looking way much younger!
Jane Seymour looks way younger 🤣
Love all the tips you gave for pixies! I've been wearing a pixie for years...always have some issues as they grow out, figuring out how to get the most out of them..and yes, finding the right styling products. Could you do a video on how to successfully grow out a pixie to a longer style, say a bob?
Your explanations are excellent. What I like most is combining the actual performing of the function. This makes it easier to visualize the finished product. Good stuff!
Great tips, found out I'm already doing some of these intuitively anyway! It helps that I have been going to the same fabulous stylist for years - she knows my hair inside out so works with it's weird kinks and flicks when she's cutting, so it just sits beautifully without too much styling
2:24 i just did my first pixie cut today and love it
I bought this blow dryer and I am soooo please with it!!!!!! Best I have ever tried!
I have had pixie cuts for years...wish you could cut my hair!! Some stylists don't know how to cut it while still keeping it feminine which is very important to me.
Such a helpful video. I have curly hair and a pixie with the bulk on top due to cheekbones being the widest part of my face. I dry it straight but would love to know how to wear and dry a curly pixie for those days when the humid or wet weather makes my straight hair pixie attempt difficult. Thank you so much.
As a lifelong former pixie wearer, I so agree about the tapering by the ears! I have a "football" shaped head, the widest point is eye/ear level. So whenever it started growing out, I got the "Bozo effect." 🙄🤡 Now if I could just find a stylist that actually KNOWS HOW TO DO A GOOD PIXIE CUT!!! (they're like a needle in a haystack!)
That’s where I’m at as well! Someone who truly gives a damn about my pixie cut!
Go find a Sassoon-trained stylist.
Great job! The woman with the green sweater on number 5 is stunning! It looks like a perfect cut on her...then again, she's kind of like your wife, beautiful all the way.
Thanks for showing how to use the shears. I love a good razor cut also !
My pleasure! Razors can be great on the right hair textures!
This is fabulous! I shared it with my stylist. Love the "M" hairline. So much for feminine and does draw the eye up!
Vielen Dank für diese wunderbaren Tipps.
This is very interesting. I’m on school for cosmetology right now full time and I’m learning about all of this right now! I actually have a pixie cut and I’ve gotten quite a few compliments at school about how cute the cut is.
I’m one that hates using product because I feel that I have to wash my hair much more often, plus the results don’t last throughout a whole day. As a result, I haven’t tried many styling products. Maybe I’ve used the wrong product or used it in the wrong way. No matter the cut, my hair has always flattened on the crown/temples. Perhaps you could give a lesson on kinds of styling products without it being a long infomercial? The tip on volumizing vs. thinning shears was helpful.
You’re definitely not alone. It’s all about the right product, which is why I didn’t recommend just one. It’s going to be different depending on hair texture, style, length, hair health etc. You may consider trying a dry powder style of product. They’re less likely to weigh your hair down and will still give you a lot of texture and movement. They can even encourage a bit of volume. The only downside is, like any product, your hair won’t feel “clean”. BUT, if your hair feels clean, it’s likely that the product in it won’t really do anything since the way products get results is to essentially make your hair dirty. Definitely worth a shot though…I think you may really like them. Just search for hair styling powder, or hair texture powder etc.
@@justinhickox thanks.I’ll try a dry product and see how it goes. Can one reinvigorate a (wet) product late in the day by dampening it a little and restyling?
@@tishlowe6716 I've tried a ton of products and what I have found that works so well for me is a volumizing mousse--currently using Kenra 17. I dry my hair using my hands and pulling out from my head. After it's dry, I use a straightener, again pulling the pieces out from my head where I want lift. I rub Kenra texturizing taffy 13 into my fingers and run through my hair every which way, pulling and twisting where I want some spike and lift. Finish off with Kenra hairspray 30. I have it down to an art. 😁
Completely identify with you and have spent tons of money on trying products.
@@justinhickox Dry powder meaning dry shampoo? I only find it useful on dirty hair days when I am in a rush and no time to wash. But once home I need to wash it out. Dry shampoo is mucky IMO.
Love these short hair videos! Great tips! Thanks! 👍💕
Thanks for addressing the short pixie hair.
I like short hair and use to keep my hair very short until I had cancer ! It was very thick and naturally curly now my hair is very thin and I have No curls no body whatsoever because of the chemo and radiation cancer sucks. So I in 20%try to grow it out and that takes forever what’s a cancer survivor to do that is peeved off and becoming full likely challenged
I want to thank you for introducing me to Laifen! It dries my hair so fast and I generally use it on the medium to mitigate heat damage. I love it so much! 😃
I find that wrong direction drying is brilliant for my fine hair. As requested below - a video showing some styling techniques using products?
Justin - great video with information I needed. Especially the hair pattern on the nape. That is a game changer that I've never heard anyone talk about.
Thank you! I totally agree with the M shape in the nape! I see so few stylists doing it but it changes EVERYTHING!
I’ve spent my life with a pixie cut doing “non directional drying” being told it’s wrong lol
Non-directional drying - where has this tip been all my life?! 😊 I have been doing it these past two days and will never look back. Thanks for this awesome video.
Got the Laifen at Christmas and loving it. Learned of it from your channel. I just checked your link and there is a Mother’s Day sale going on now.. I do have a pixie and do use the dryer…it’s so fast and I use the medium heat. Still getting the volume. Taking your tips on thinning the sides and the M shape to my stylist next cut. Great info as always!
That's awesome! I'm SO glad you're loving the dryer. I appreciate your trust. Can't wait to hear how the hairline shape works for you!
Love all the tips. Justin, your hair is quite cool too!
Great tips, as usual! I always end up cutting the crown of my hair in between salon visits cause I felt like it was going flat as it was growing out. Your tip that it's my sides growing out making too much bulk thus making the top look flat....hello...that makes so much sense! Thanks for all the great tips!!
Thank you! Glad I can help! Side note about the crown. If you notice that your crown tends to part or split (like you have a strong cowlick), it could likely be that the crown is too short. Keep that in mind if you find yourself cutting it a lot.
@@justinhickox, this is exactly my issue. Thank you!
When you accessorized the dog, the clouds parted and I understood your vision. Yes!💕
Another informative video!!!…great tips!!…you always nail it, Justin….enjoy your week!!!…say hi to Dionna!!!…much love and appreciation for you, my friend!💜
Thank you, Linda! I really appreciate the support! I’m so glad you liked the video. When are you gonna go into a pixie cut!?! Lol I’ll tell Dionna you said hi! Thanks again.
@@justinhickox omg!!!…I am still moving towards the Rapunzel look!…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..
Thanks for the helpful video. I will be trying non directional blowdrying 👍🏻
Thanks for the video! If I hear one more person say, you must just wash your hair and go!🙄 I always say if you want a low maintenance hairstyle keep it long. You can put in a bun, braid, or ponytail and look good with little effort. Short hair requires effort. Which is why I like it! Haha. Thanks again! Great ideas! ❤
I never liked just throwing my hair in a ponytail all the time, and I'm really cack-handed so never got the hang of other ways to put my hair up. So in my case although my pixie still needs effort it takes a lot less effort to get it to look good than it did when it was long!
I use Nivea cream (the thick kind) for volume AND shine. Try it!
American Crew Molding Clay $10-15usd and you don't need much, it's a texture in the middle of the 2 shown in the video. That one little 3oz container is probably going to last me the whole time my buzz cut is growing out. Because it doesn't show like product in your hair, I may use it no matter my length, really loving it.
I appreciate you helping us out by being so detailed in your explanations, even putting up diagrams :). My buzzcut is finally getting past the awkward growing out stage and I'm considering pixie hair for a little bit, this helps. For me, mostly the bit about the sides of your hair.
Thats a great product. I personally liked Redkens Water Wax the best..it gave a shine on top of control.
@@marswmnwhoever2188 Ty :) I'll have to give that one a try as well.
You always have the best tips and tricks.
Hope you have a great day.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Was there any specific tip you liked the most?
@@justinhickox yes, it is the tip about the M at the nape drawing the eye up . Loved it
Will you please elaborate on types of products necessary for short pixie hairstyles? I have a pixie cut and desire the “organized messed up” look and struggle with finding \ using \ application of the correct products to achieve that messy, chic look. I love that look so much! Thank you.
Me too. Love that messy look. Tried this morning not putting the root volume in my hair before drying and the non directional drying method. Loved how it came out. Let’s see if it stays. Did add wax a bit of hairspray to keep its shape. Hope it works.
Could you do a video on really thick hair, pixies in particular. Thanks
I like the hair dryer because it’s so pretty!
So glad you did this video Justin. I learned a lot !! Thank you !!❤
You're so welcome! I'm glad I could help! Was there anything you learned that really stood out to you?
I’ve always struggled with my thin hair forever and now that I’m in the “Golden” years it seems as if my hair is getting even thinner. The only time I like my hair is the day I wash and style it. After that it’s all down hill. I’ve kept it short for a long time now, not quite a pixie but short enough. Thanks for all the info and your honesty. It’s much appreciated. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤙🤙🤙🤙
I identify with you. I think menopause plays a huge part in thinning hair. My hair has been shedding so badly. Baby hair do grow but cannot keep up with shedding so looking very thin. Only looks good after wash and blow. I am exploring HRT. Or I may chop my hair into a pixie but already spent so much on hair products for long hair😢😢
Hi from India .. I simply loved watching this video and find it difficult getting that perfect haircut.
Texturinzing my hair makes me look like a troll doll
I just want to thank you for your videos! I enjoy them and always learn something new from them - lots in this one, especially texturising shears - I've never seen those before and they're now on my shopping list! I'm afraid I've given up trying to find a hairdresser who will consistently do what I want, so have been cutting my own hair for several years now. (Sorry if that offends hairdressers!) I love how you include styles for the more "mature" woman and those with different types of hair. Thank you Justin. x
I hate my hair so much. Finding someone who can actually cut a beautiful pixie, consistently, is a challenge too.
Agreed. Sigh. I've had a pixie cut for more than a year and I desperately want to love it but 9 times out of 10, I hate the way my pixie looks on me. I've gone to at least 4 hair stylists and none of them listen to what I am asking for -- they just cut my hair in their own way, in their own style. I'm so grateful I found this video because I was ready to give up and grow out my hair. I'm going to try the non-directional hair drying technique and see what happens.
I love your videos, Justin! I wish more guys understood us rocking short hair like you!
I love my pixiehaircut.
I love to swim.
So easy and fast dried and styled
I dont like a hard wax. To hard to aplay and it s just to dry
Love the hairdryer. So light yes powerfull
Lollll... Snoop Dogg! (ish) Also: Lol @ C U next week. I'm never going to forget that previous video. Ever.
Love your videos Justin. Many tips much needed ❤️👍🏼
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I could help.
Hi Justin, Thank you for all the tips about pixie cuts. I am getting my next cut in a week. I took some pics to take to my hairstylist. I also ordered 1 of the hair dryers you were
using. There was a sale at the company & your code took off $10 on top of the sale price. It was cheaper than Amazon with free delivery. I have been using a hair dryer for 50 yrs and never spent this much money, but I have high hopes for this one. Thank you for all your help. Have a nice weekend. 😊
Thank you for your advice most pretty basic stuff but always a pleasure..🎉
I personally think pixies look GREAT fuller like Demi Moore in Ghost or 90's styles and I LOVE Vidal Sassoon precision cutting I'm not into REALLY short pixies for myself but LOVE them when done RIGHT..❤
And over texturizing doesn't really look GOOD to me because it can make the HAIR look frayed and damaged looking texturizing is a slippery slope so PLEASE be careful none for me PLEASE ..😵💫
I have FINE HAIR but a lot of it and then many STYLISTS seem to think they can go CRAZY only to make my HAIR look FRIED and THIN looking and it's like creating split ends ..😢
I want FULL healthy looking HAIR and I'm sure most women do too so PLEASE DON'T do this yourself you'll regret it and even be careful letting someone else do it remember LESS is MORE and texturizing isn't always the answer especially for women's HAIRSTYLES👍🏻
Mens hairstyles are different but they can have it DONE too much as well it happen to my son and he was so upset the person shaved off too MUCH and then his cut was a mess with a big chunk taken out at the bang line right in front so we're suppose to TRUST the person cutting our hair and EVEN the best ones can make mistakes I just wish there was a guarantee but no such thing and then if your not HAPPY then you still have to pay so not COOL I truly believe you mess my HAIR up or I'm not happy that STYLISTS doesn't deserve a dime..😢
I just wish that more STYLISTS would understand that most women like having HAIR on their heads if they can and if we want it SHORT that doesn't give the STYLIST the license to go scissors CRAZY or shaver CRAZY or texturizing CRAZY when the person doesn't want it but unfortunately so MANY stylists don't really listen and then we go HOME in TEARS so SAD I'm so traumatized by them now and I wish I didn't have this FEAR but so MANY just do WHATEVER they want in the END not COOL..🥴
And I'm sorry but can you please loose the music in the background while you're talking it's so annoying trying to listen to you it makes no sense really and it's not even good MUSIC.. 😉
Also for those looking for products be careful some can just be adding layers of silicones on the hair and then you'll want to wash your hair everyday and some can be damaging and they can weigh the hair down, some are greasy and some can EVEN cause scalp issues like itchy scalp and dandruff as well cause HAIR LOSS look for light weight products that are not full of irritates ..👍🏻
So do your research on them and protect your SCALP in the summer and ALL year-round really because the dermatologist will check your scalp if you go for a full checkup look for ways to protect your scalp like hats, umbrellas and shaded areas when it's hot out or not but sunny out and there are some products for HAIR that even have SPF protection in them so LOOK for those as WELL 🌈
Also I want to add that having SOME weight to your hair isn't a BAD thing don't let HAIR STYLISTS tell you that you need to keep thinning your hair out or you need more texturizing having WEIGHT to your hair isn't a BAD thing and it's actually nice when you go outside and your hair is not blowing ALL over the place having a little bit of weight to your hair especially if you have fine hair is important if you have heavier hair and really thick hair and I mean really thick hair then maybe but when you have FINE HAIR even when you have a lot of it doing too much texturizing can make it be a nightmare blowing ALL over the place I need to have WEIGHT on my HAIR I don't like having my hair blow ALL over the place and that's not what I call nice movement in the END and make SURE the STYLIST evenly distributes your HAIR when cutting it also so important and it can REALLY make a haircut a mess if not DONE right...😢
So in the end keeping some WEIGHT on your HAIR is OKAY..👍🏻
Thanks for listening ❤❤
Thank you for all the Good Advice. With age I find my hair thinning quite a bit. But as you have said cut the volume on the sides and feather cut the top for more volumn. The "M" has been the bane of my life because it seems to grow so much quicker than the rest. At last I have found the solution I need. Once again from an old campaigner from South Africa.
I love wearing a pixit cut but it is really hard finding someone that actually knows how to cut one correctly. Do you use a razor when you do a pixie cut? It seems like razoring my hair works better. It is also hard fiding someone that is good with a razor, lol. I'm older and a pixie cut looks best on me. My profile photo isn't a pixie cut per se.
great cuts
Also love your highlights, lowlights, hair color. Can you speak about that a bit?
I enjoy watching your videos. Would you make some suggestions-cuts , styles, products for fine thin hair?
❤❤❤ Love the Pixie Look! the drying tips are Great, Thank You
Love your videos! Does non directional drying sometimes cause problems with cowlicks? Also does point cutting accomplish the same thing as texturizing shears? Thank so much! (ps love the travel videos❤❤)
I have a cowlick right in the front and part against it and pull it down. Face looks lopsided if I use the cowlick as my part😂
Agree with you in the M cut in back❤
RIGHT! Makes such a big difference and I see so few people doing it!
Can you give suggestions for the right bangs. I have a small narrow face. I want my face to appear fuller. Thank Linda
Love the “M” cut suggestion. I never liked the straight across cut as it makes me look too wide on the neckline. Now I know what to tell me hairdresser what I want. Thanks!
Love the pixie cut style but don't think I'd be brave enough to go for it as I think my face might be too wide for one.
I need you to come up with that App so I can stick my face in and see what it would look like before commiting to a pixie cut.
Also not sure I could commit to having to have a haircut every 6 weeks to maintain the look, seems high maintenance to me for a low maintenance look 😅
Great concerns! Pixie cuts can actually work really well for round faces. They just require more length and height on top and less on the sides to help elongate the face. As for the maintenance....yes, they can definitely be more than some longer shapes. Depending on how well the shape is cut into the hair, they can last longer than 8 weeks. It really just depends on the cut TBH.
I love your channel...
Thanks!
You're so welcome! Thank YOU for that support! Is there anything you'd like to see covered in a future video?
absolutely fantastic video!! Thank you! Just checked my scissors and they are thinning and not texturising so I will be getting a pair of those. Thank you for the descriptions and highlighted areas. Really appreciate it.
So, I must inherently know these things. I went to the stylist, asked to keep hair around my face. Also, in between appts, I shaved around my ears but left the rest alone. Told the stylist I just wanted the ends "cleaned up"! We'll, she doesn't know anything, she chopped my pixie bad, didn't clean the ends left it more uneven, and shaved all my hair around my face and buzz cut my head, after I said I didn't want it buzz cut again!....ugh!!!
I fall into Camp #2. Currently I have a long asymetrical shaggy pixie that has been over texturized with a razor. I'm not a happy camper. Unfortunately this video doesn't apply to me. I was looking for styling tips while my hair is growing out. I may end up with another undercut.
I have both, the Dyson and the Laifen blowdryers. The Laifen heat function stopped working after 4 months. I now pretty much use it to blow build-up dust from my computer keyboard, fans, heaters, etc... If you have fine hair, DON'T buy it because it is too strong therefore you can't control your hair. The power cord is so short that you literally have to stand very close to the power source. Seriously, WTF? Clearly, they did not design this with the hairstylist in mind, this makes no sense. The power cord is so heavy so if you were to add an extension cord, it's like working out with weights.
I totally can vouch for the dryer. LOVE it! What a game changer for my pixie cut!!
I LOVE your tips! They make so much sense and create a look that obviously isn't by accident! Really enjoy you personality too :) Keep doing you!
I find texturing my fine hair makes it even more thin looking and full of static....and tips on that
Great video. I've had a pixie for years, but do struggle to get a decent short cut. I've gone through so many hairdressers since living in Aus. Long hair seems the norm. If I get a good cut, they can't seem to do it again or like last year (the best cut I had) I was told I couldn't request/wait for that stylist and they also don't colour. I now have another hairdresser but 4 weeks ago I had it done for my 35th anniversary celebrations (3 days later) but I struggled to style it and I noticed the sides weren't tapered and seemed one length. My hair grows quick and bulks, so I ended up back to her yesterday and coincidentally I asked her to try texturising it more, particularly the sides, and make the bangs pointy and it now feels much better! :):):):)
Thanks for the info on the Laifen Swift. I gave my Dyson to my DIL - it was so heavy and the extra long cord with that converter thingy was too cumbersome. She’s thrilled (and my shoulder feels better.)
Can you do a video on color for pixies? Is it possible to get painted highlights or balayage to blend gray hair???
Hi Justin! New subscriber here and lover of all things pixie. Great tips, especially about product. Had no idea I didn’t need volumizer lol! Look forward to watching more!
Hey! Welcome to the fam! Thanks for being here. Glad you liked the video and I could help a bit. Volumizer is great bit if the shape is cut in, you likely won't need it. With that said, if you love one and it's working for you, there's nothing wrong with using it either.
What about with curly hair?!?! Game changer!!! 😳
i have a pixie cut and I'm a man, always loved the look
I really liked your video I have always had a pixie cut or an asymmetrical look. I liked all of the points that you made It will help a lot of people! I will check out more of you vid’s
We’ve been using this blowdryer at home for the past 8 months and it’s one of our favorites! Check it out: bit.ly/laifenswiftdryer
On your recommendation, I bought my college son a Laifen and then I got one for Christmas. We both love it!
@@Andra-cr9cd That's awesome! Thanks for trusting me on this! They're great right!
Is it strong enough for salon work?
Hey Justin, l got myself a Pixie Cut because l got a condition that affects my hormones and l shed all over the place 😲 I got a lot of fine hair so l ain’t bald yet lol.
…..Anyways your tips & tricks helped my fine hair to look FULL. No more mess in my house! Pretty awesome dude 😎
@@madeleinemulholland503 There's rumor that they're working on a professional version but I could absolutely use this one at the salon. I would just check the cord length and make sure it's long enough for your station.
WOW! Makes me want to get it all cut off! Thank you! I'm going to check out that fab hair dryer! 😍
Love my laifen! This video was so much help! Just went through 2 brain surgeries and def not used to short hair 😂
Hi Justin. Thank you for this video. I am lucky that my hairdresser knows how to cut a good pixie cut. I have fine flyaway hair, never thinking I could have a pixie because my hair was flat and no volume. But my new hairdresser said it would be the best style for me, and he was absolutely right! I love it, and it always looks good. He told me not to worry about shampoo, but to wash it with just water when i am in the shower, giving it a really good scrub. I have been doing this, and my hair hasn't looked better, and has so much body in it, that i can style it with no products. What is your view on no shampoo?
Thank you. These tips will be going to the salon with me.
This is what I was taught by my mentor. Just trying to find a stylist that can do the same is a nightmare.
Wow, I learned all kinds of things ‼️😃👌
Awesome! Glad I can help!
I knew because of cowlicks that cutting my long hair would not mean less work. I like what my stylist does to disguise my lack of a natural M by fringing the nape and giving me my own unique style.
Nothing wrong with that at all! The most important thing you can do is what makes you feel best. If that goes against what I say...ABSOLUTELY ignore me!
@@justinhickox I have only watched a few of your videos. I have noticed the emphasis you place on hair that moves, which is good for hair with a mind of its own. My hair is now cut following most of what is shown in this current video and drawing compliments. I do have strong cowlicks at the widow's peak and nape (off center). I am thankful to the stylists who have told me to stop trying to control them.
@@deborahwilson6970 Hey! Thanks for hanging out with me! I do believe movement is a big part of keeping things youthful and fun. Like you said, working with your hair is SO much easier than working against it. Glad you found a solid stylist!
Makes me want to get a pixie cut!
Do you know what they say, hair always grows! Lol
Thank you @JustinHickox I've had a pixi for a couple decades and this was great information!
One of the most helpful videos! Thanks Justin
I have the opposite issue of a lot of ladies here in that my hair is extremely thick and coarse which is why I keep it short to begin with. It makes it difficult to style my pixie. It just ends up feeling and looking bulky. Is there anything I can suggest to my hair stylist as far as technique that will allow me to style my hair easily?
fantastic tips
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Silver fox with an undercut pixie. My hair is thinning, so my hairdresser can’t do as much of an undercut as I want as the hair on the bottom has to blend in with my disappearing hairline on my right temple. I buy lots of product (still looking for the magic blend). Thanks for this video. I usually trim up on my sides between haircuts where it’s starting to grow out and make things look wonky.
