How To Do A Pixie Cut At Home

The first thing you want to do when creating a pixie cut is to:

Create Volume

To add volume to your pixie cut, you can use a comb or your fingers to lift the hair at the roots. Gently tease the hair near the crown of your head or use your fingers to lift the hair while blow-drying for added volume.
Texturize: Pixie cuts often look best with some texture. You can use your fingers or a small styling brush to tousle or lightly backcomb sections of your hair for a more textured and tousled look.

Go For A  Smooth and Polished Look

If you prefer a smooth and polished look, you can use a flat iron or a small round brush while blow-drying to smooth and shape your hair. Apply a small amount of hair serum or shine spray to add shine and reduce frizz.

Accessorize

Pixie cuts can be accessorized with headbands, scarves, or hairpins to add a touch of style and personality. Experiment with different accessories that complement your overall look and outfit.

Creating a low ponytail is a simple and classic hairstyle that can be worn for various occasions. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve a low ponytail:

Start with Prep

Begin with clean, dry, and detangled hair. You can comb or brush through your hair to ensure it is smooth and free of knots.

Decide Placement

Determine where you want your low ponytail to sit on your head. It can be positioned at the nape of your neck or slightly higher for a different look.

Gather Your Hair

Using a comb or your fingers, gather all of your hair together at the desired placement for your low ponytail. Hold it firmly with one hand to keep it in place.

Secure With an Elastic

Take a hair elastic or a ponytail holder and wrap it around the gathered hair. Make sure the elastic is tight enough to hold your hair securely but not so tight that it causes discomfort.

How To Mold And Style Short Hair

Molding and styling short hair can be a fun way to create different looks and express your personal style. Here are some steps to help you mold and style your short hair:

Start with Clean and Dry Hair

Begin with freshly washed and dried hair. This provides a clean canvas for styling and ensures that any previous product buildup is removed.

Apply a Styling Product

Depending on the desired style and your hair type, choose a styling product that suits your needs. Options include mousse, gel, wax, pomade, or styling cream. Apply a small amount of the product to your hands and distribute it evenly throughout your hair, focusing on the roots and the areas you want to mold or define.

Use Your Fingers or a Comb

Use your fingers or a fine-toothed comb to mold and shape your hair. Start with the front sections and work your way back. You can push the hair forward, create a side part, or comb it straight back, depending on the style you want to achieve.

Texturize or Add Volume

How To Do Finger Waves

Finger waves are a classic and elegant hairstyle that can be achieved with the right technique and some practice. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do finger waves:

Start with Damp Hair

Finger waves work best on damp hair, so either wash your hair or mist it with water to dampen it evenly.

Apply Styling Product

Apply a styling product that provides hold and control to your damp hair. You can use a mousse, gel, styling cream, or wave-enhancing product. Make sure to distribute the product evenly from the roots to the ends.

Create a Deep Side Part

Use a comb to create a deep side part on one side of your head. The side part will be the starting point for your finger waves.

Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into small sections using your fingers or a comb. The width of the sections will depend on the desired size and tightness of the waves. Smaller sections will create tighter waves, while larger sections will result in looser waves.

Start with the First Section

Take the first section of hair and comb it smooth. Place your index and middle fingers of one hand against your scalp, parallel to the part line. Use your other hand to hold the section of hair between your fingers.

Create a Ridge

With your fingers acting as a guide, press the hair against your fingers and use a comb to create a ridge or wave pattern along the hair. The ridge should form an “S” shape, curving away from your face.

Secure the Wave

Once you’ve created the ridge, use a hairpin or duckbill clip to hold the wave in place against your scalp. Position the pin or clip vertically and slide it into the ridge, securing it firmly.

Repeat the Process

Continue working section by section, following the same technique of creating ridges and securing them with pins or clips. Make sure to alternate the direction of the waves to create a symmetrical pattern. Continue until you’ve waved all the sections of your hair.

Final Word

If you’re stuck at home without a stylist to go to, you may feel that you have no options for a cute short hairstyle, but that’s not the case at all!
