How I Get My Curly Pixie Hair Straight
How I get my short curly hair looking straight :) In this video I show you my hair styling routine as to how I be getting my hair LAID! A lot of people think I relax my hair or flat iron it. That would be insanity for me and my bleached hair! Bleaching my hair is an extremely drying process so I have to make sure I keep my hair as healthy as possible. I will have to so you my deep conditioning routine soon. But for now here's what I use in my hurrrr :)

How you get that hair laid girl, Those curls are laid flat. That'S how I did that A lot of you guys have been asking me here and on Instagram, if I relaxed or flat ironed my hair.. The answer to that is heck to the N-O. My hair is bleached, It cannot handle all of that. It'S pretty much super dry, But a side-by-side comparison will show you that something is happening and she is not speaking on it., So let's rewind the track and bring the beach back.. Now, when I was editing my footage of my How I Bleached My Hair video, I noticed that my hair was laid. And I was like wait a minute. Why does my hair look like that when it's wet and otherwise when it isn't So, then I said to myself: you have to think like a curly. And a curly girl's. Bff is H2O., It's the only way to go., Okay. So first I start with a leave-in conditioner. Blondes take notes from the curly girls. We both have one thing in common, and that is our hair needs. Moisture. Bleached hair needs moisture. So first you want to start off with a leave-in conditioner.. Once you have your leave-in conditioner, ladies, you want to seal that with an oil-based product.. Now I'm using this awesome leave-in by The Mane Choice., This line is divine. Links in the description box, check it out. And to get your hair laid. You have to use a brush that has loads of bristles., So I'm using this one. Now I definitely am giving you Sisqo realness. Baby move your butt, butt, butt Thighs like what what what You could stop here., But because I'm going for a super laid look. I'M going to top that off with ECO styler gel.. This stuff is bomb and it's super cheap and affordable., And I work it in with my hands. And just flattening and pressing my hair down. So it is laid., Shout outs to Funky Deneiva.. I love you boo. If I were to leave it at that step, it would frizz right back up, because I have curly hair., So I have to wrap that. And I'm using a satin head wrap., Whatever Okay. So once it's dry, you just take it off.. My hair is laid boo. Do you see, Are you seeing? I don't know if you are catching that.? That is laid. Because I do have curly hair and I don't want it to frizz. I have to make sure that it's completely dry. And then with my fingers. I can either finger comb. It -- so this will just like de-harden it. Or use something that is wide-tooth.. You can use a wide-toothed comb or a wide-toothed, brush. And then ... see. So that's how I get my hair laid. Every week is something new for me, because my hair is growing.. So every time I allow it to grow longer than the last time I have to re-learn my hair.. The bleach is drying on your hair., But thankfully my hair grows fast enough that I can cut out the ends that are kind of dry., Wax., BFF. Short hair.. I think they say it's not good for you. But whatever.. Apparently, nothing is good for me., So I can leave it like that. And the wax just kind of gives styling control., And I don't want to use anything that has a water base in it. Otherwise, it will go curly. And I do want it curly, but I want it to be longer before I start wearing it curly. I can do that. See this is all wax.. I can just use my fingers to style.. I feel like it's a little like''Something About Mary.''. That'S my Astro Boy look., So I can have it laid down flat or rock my Astro Boy., And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I get my hair laid. For everyone who was asking me on Instagram.. Go on Instagram. Follow me there. Facebook., That's how it is., That's how it's done. Anyways. I hope this helps you guys out. Make sure to comment. Below.. Let me know ... what color your hair is right, now.. Is it bleached? Is it natural? Is it a fun? Funky color: Are you faking the funk? Are you tricking them Comment below? Let me know., And I hope this helps you out. Remember to do you, be you stay true., Peace, love and happiness from the shamelessness., Be shameless.. Okay, that's it for now boos. I will see you every Monday and Thursday. Make sure you guys watch these videos. Make sure you guys subscribe., Make sure you like this video. And sharing is caring. So share this everywhere. Peace.

And now I'm growing it out and "laying" my hair, as you call it, is the first thing I learned to do. It's sooo easy, and a cool way to style short hair, while still learning how to work with it. Love you Maya!!!

HairByPierre: About 4 inches of my ends are hennigoed (black). And about 2 inches of my roots are medium/auburn. I'm growing out my natural hair color.

hermit mode engaged: i have a bleached mohawk with my roots and i'm currently growing out my sides a bit so imma try this with my sides to get 'em laid!! thanks boo :-*
Bowie Knife87: By the way, when you wrapped your hair: i totally got Eve "whose that girl" realness
Julia: Last year i wore my hair bleached, so now it grew out and i had it cut pretty short - chin length. Now i finally rock my natural hair color
Tatiana Sookdeo: I wish u still had ur curly hair now cuz ur vids were helping me soo much and u explain it very well compared to others :(( but another than that I like the short cut on u :) Love you :)
Gift Eugene: do you really know what i admire mostly in you gurl? it's your skin complexion, it's so damn glittering. u're shining gurl.
Ilona SAUTRON: I'm actually tempted by a purple ombré hair. Seems so great on curly hair!
Mariel: I have short hair too. I wear a tight beanie in the winter and that straightens and softens my hair. I like the satin wrap idea. I'm using your vid and I'm going to bleach my hair tomorrow. When I get tired of the blonde, I'm gonna try a pastel.
Silva Cole: dyed my hair red! love red, always done red and chocolate brown, but thinking of doing a blonde look for the new year, red is my trade mark, but want to try out a new look :)
Nina Houchen: Yup. It looks lovely. My hair I've kept platinum since '97! I'm dating my old self but only stripping the roots of your new growth iz key to keepin it so blond. Try not to overlap. Straight breakage can happen. Yuck.. Wax is a must. It does stop your hairs' tendency to be dry.. again, you're gorgeous. Have fun. We blonds do have more of it. :-D
C: Well I am naturally Ash blonde, but few months back my sister dyed it to warmer undertone. We can see the situation of roots having one tone and the rest of hair other haha. I remember the dye was washing out red and I was freaking out that my hair was going to be red (it definitely looked more ginger at first). I really need to dye it similar to my natural hair colour.
Oshun_l0v3j0n3z: Doing my natural journey...so I have taken a page out of the SHAMELESS book and have been rocking my WIGS!!!!! So I have many different colors and styles!
TheSilentSheep: hey Maya, I have a short curly pixie just like yours (just a stage looser, 3b they call it i think lol) but I don't actually wrap my hair and sometimes its kinda difficult once in a while to get it in a proper pixie form unless its decently short. I am very curious to know if your hair can stay in that form even in intense humidity. I would love to be able to wrap my natural curly hair, just to switch it up a bit once in a while without relaxing my hair again like i used to
Kayla Robyn Bailey: LOVE!!!!!! It looks awesome
Wendy: your hair growed so fast !!!
ForeignC: I'm natural with an undercut. Dyed my hair red. I love it. My hair is still very soft. The color gets everywhere when my hair is wet. I'm thinking about doin a tapered twa but not sure if I wana cut the top of my hair shorter. How does ur hair manage to stay "straight" enough to do a spikey look without it curling back up????
MikaLishauna: you're too gorgeous! my hair is currently golden bronze...with 3 1/2 inches of dark brown new growth
Megan Freeman: So Mrs. Maya!!!! I accidentally knotted all of my hair in the crown of my hair and I had to pretty much cut a huge chunk of my hair in the middle. I have been transitioning for months and trying to get the courage to cut all of my relaxed ends off but it seems my big chop is doing sooner than later. I'm afraid when I get my short cut, I won't have the right face shape for my new pixie hair. What should I do?
Vicki Combs: Cute video! The top of my hair is blond...short side and back and some length at the top. Keep bringing the videos. I'm still trying to get used to this short hair and yes it's curly!
Nicki Price: Thank you, totally didn't know I could do that to my hair. ...
mcdaniella1: Thank you so much, boo! I love it!
Jessica Imamura: Omg, you kill me! Lol!!! I have been waiting for this. Thank you so much for the video.
Mariana Bortoletti: I have three colors in my hair right now... I have my natural black, two stripes bleached in the middle and bronze in my ends... I'm loving these three colors!
Nakikke Wallace: I'm rocking a boy cut with my 360 waves. Right now... it's my regular black hair and on a daily I use a mist spray by Shea Moisture (Coconut and Hibiscus Mist) to wake up my hair, then use an oil of my choice and massage it into my scalp, and lastly seal it with a wave pomade gel my Sportin' Wave. That's it and I love the no nonsense of it all!
allie0676: love it.. I'm a natural, twa, platinum blonde kind of girl too. I tried this method tonight. I can't wait till my hair dries
Emmanuella Tchanga: i died my hair light brown and i love it!
MelzMakeup: My hair is natural! I bleached it too weeks ago and put a violet red on top of it all over. Loving it!. I also drench my hair in olive oil and cocunut oil daily. Ok maybe not drench lol
PEARLfectFiX: This vid just made me want to cut my hair again just so I can try this lmbo!
