3 Ways to Curl a Pixie Cut
A pixie cut is a chic and stylish hairstyle that has been rocking the fashion scene for years. With its versatile nature and low maintenance requirements, it’s no wonder this short hairstyle is so popular among women. One might think that with such short hair, there isn’t much room for creativity. However, adding curls to a pixie cut can instantly change your look and give you a fun, flirty vibe.
Here are three easy ways to curl your pixie cut:
1. Using a Curling Iron
The most popular and quickest way to curl your pixie cut is by using a small-barreled curling iron. Here’s how:
– Start by applying a heat protectant to your clean, dry hair.
– Divide your hair into sections depending on its thickness.
– Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the barrel of the curling iron.
– Hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds before releasing the curl.
– Repeat this process for all the sections of your hair.
– Once you’ve curled all your hair, use your fingers to gently loosen the curls for a more natural look.
– Finish with some hairspray or styling product to hold the curls in place.
2. Using Hair Rollers
For an overnight solution, try using hair rollers on your pixie cut:
– Start with slightly damp hair (not soaking wet) or apply a little styling mousse to dry hair.
– Divide your hair into sections based on how tight you want the curls.
– Wrap each section of hair around the roller and secure it in place.
– Leave the rollers in overnight or until your hair is completely dry.
– Unroll each roller carefully and use fingers or a wide-tooth comb to separate the curls gently.
– Finish up with hairspray or a styling product for added hold.
3. Pin Curls
Another heatless method to curl your pixie cut is by using pin curls:
– Start with slightly damp hair or apply a light styling mousse to dry hair.
– Divide your hair into sections, each about an inch in thickness.
– Wrap each section of hair around your fingers to create a loop, and then slide the loop off your fingers.
– Position the loop flat against your head and secure it with a bobby pin or duckbill clip.
– Repeat this process for all the sections of your hair.
– Allow your curls to set by wearing a satin-lined sleep cap or silk scarf while you sleep, or until your hair is fully dry.
– Remove the pins or clips carefully, then use your fingers to fluff and separate the curls.
– Finish up with a light hold hairspray or styling product.
Experimenting with different curling methods will help you find the perfect curly pixie style for any occasion, and don’t be afraid to have fun with it! Wavy texture, tight ringlets, or loose and playful curls—the possibilities are endless when it comes to curling your pixie cut.
