Best Hair Products For A Pixie Cut // Cruelty Free Hair Products // Volume, Texture, And Shine

Hey friends, welcome back so today's video is kind of like a part, two or follow-up to the video I posted most recently, and that was about the tools I use on my pixie hair today, I'm gon na be talking about the products that I use. I am going to be talking about specific products and give you give you recommendations. However, a lot of these products you might already have in your cabinet, so you might not have the specific when I talk about, but you might have something similar. So I would encourage you to, of course, use up the products that you have already, but if you're looking for any specific recommendations or to figure out, if you might have any missing holes in your product lineup, then I hope this video is really helpful for you. If you're new welcome, my name is ava and I post videos about my pixie hair and other cruelty, free beauty and lifestyle videos so welcome and let's get into the products. So one thing that I talked about in my tools - video was a hair wrap that I use when I get out of the shower, and I use that to let my hair air dry just a little bit and get a lot of the moisture out. So then I it takes less time to blow-dry my hair, so on damp hair I like to apply a serum. This is the one I'm using right now, but the things I look for in a serum are something that will protect my hair against heat damage and also tame any flyaways and frizz that might be going on stuff like that. So I really like this one from Giovanni the Beth, the brand it's called Giovanni eco chic haircare. This is the first product that I've tried from theirs, but I saw Tichina from logical harmony talked about this brand and they are logical harmony, cruelty free approved. So I found this one at Whole Foods, but I'll link some places you can buy it online as well as all the products I mentioned I'll link some online retailers down below this is their to chic cherry blossom and rose petals ultra luxurious super potion, silken hair Serum, that's a really long title, but what got me what the reason I purchased this was. It says it teems Frizzle, I always silk ins stressed silken tresses with shine, couldn't read that for a second protects from heat damage and fights static. So I have my hair. Does get staticky in the winter which we're going into now, so I decided to pick the up and I love this. It doesn't look like I've used, hardly any at all, which is weird because I've usually used it for a couple weeks, but also with pixie hair. You don't go through products as much or at least that's. What I find is that it takes me a lot longer to go through products, because I'm only really applying this to this portion at the top of my hair and a little bit at the back. Just to keep those flyaways down, so I love this because its first of all it smells freaking delicious. It'S I don't know if it smells this they're, like rose petals to me, but it smells like a really luxurious hair care product. You know when you go to the salon and they use really nice smelling shampoos and products. That'S what this reminds me of, and it just smells really good, but also does the job. It leaves my hair, let more shiny and silky, but it doesn't leave my hair greasy, which is a problem I have. My hair gets really greasy very quick, and this does not increase any grease eNOS, but you can really find tons of serums out there on the market just find one that fits your budget and your you know any specific brands you like and yeah apply this to Damp hair and then I blow-dry it with my round brush, which you've seen in tons of my tutorials, so definitely recommend getting a serum. Even if you don't necessarily want the added shine or anything, definitely at least get some sort of heat protectant in your hair. It will just help with eliminating heat damage. I actually do use one more product in damp hair, but I don't use it every single day and it is the feed your roots, mousse. The volume enhancer - and I got this on the pedi Boris - is the sample or travel size, and it's lasted me quite a long time. I really like this one, I'm looking for that extra volume that really opened my hair, especially when my hair grows out a bit and gets longer it kind of weighs it down a little bit. So I like applying this to my roots. I just put one pump of this: it's not an aerosol, it's like a pump and you I just massage it into my scalp at the top again just to really lift those roots and get that volume up there. It does provide a little bit of grit too. So if you have very fine hair, I have, I don't, have fun hair if they care, but if you have fine hair, I feel like this would be really awesome for you. If you want to get that extra grit and texture into your hair again, there are tons of mooses out there, but this is the one I really love right now. So the rest of the products I wanted to talk about are all products I use on dry hair and I don't use all of them every single day. But I do use one almost every single day, and that is some sort of styling creme styling creams are great because it does conserve so many different purposes. If you're going for a sleek look, you can really run it through your finger or run it through your hair and slick it down, which I do kind of on this side of my hair. I kind of like to slick this down a little bit, but also you can use your hands in like this kind of motion, which I do to give myself a lot of volume and kind of bring out those layers in my hair, especially with dark hair. It'S all kind of one tone, so I don't have highlights to really show off my layers. So what I do is I run that cream through my hands and kind of go like this and massage my scalp and kind of work. My work it into my hair like this, which will kind of break up my layers and really bring out that cut and all the different layers I have going on this specific one, I'm using is from Josh rose. Brook again, I got on petit four. It is his styling cream and it says medium hold. This, I think, is again the smaller size and it's lasted me so long. It I'll provide close ups, but this has just lasted me. So freaking long - and I really really like it - you do have to really warm this up in your hands. It doesn't it kind of comes out more thick, so then you want to just massage it into your hands, warm up the product and then run it through. Your hair one trick that Jonathan from queer, I taught me, is to work not me specifically, but is to work from back to front which has really helped me a lot. So I get a lot of the product in the back on my hairline, because I really want to smooth those down and then I kind of work. My way up here again pull like kind of slicked down the sides, and then I run the rest starting from the the crown of my head. I run it and make it all messy moving towards the front and finally adjusting my bangs. This is a really good product. If you want to adjust your bangs. Sometimes things aren't looking good and they're, not looking exactly how I want, but this I can kind of mold my hair into the specific shape I want so moving on. I wanted to talk about a specific type of product that I would recommend if you had pretty thin or fine hair, and that is some sort of texturizing spray. This one is from dry bar is called the triple sec, three-in-one, texturizers, amplifies and refreshes. I don't really find that it refreshes my hair. It doesn't act the same as a dry shampoo, but it does provide a lot of texture and grit in your hair. Again, if you have thin hair - and you really want to add some volume and texture to your hair, this type of product is great. There are also a bunch of sea salt sprays, something like that, would give your hair more grit and volume and stuff like that. This one specifically from dry bar is pretty pricey. However, it has lasted me so long, I'm out now or there's like the tiniest amount left, but it did last me a long long time again with all these products. I find that I just don't go through them. Very often but yeah, so this would be a great for thin hair. I feel like it wouldn't be a haircare video if I didn't discuss a hair spray, so the one I have is from Josh Rose Brook and I got it on the pedi Bora in the travel size and has lasted me forever. I feel like a broken record in this video, but what can you do so? I really like this hairspray, but I've obviously tried tons of hair sprays throughout my life. But I really like this one and I don't use hair spray too often, just because I feel like between the molding cream, which I use almost every single day and any sort of texturizer or the volume mousse between those things. My hair does really hold on to those products really well, so I don't use the hairspray everyday, but I did use it. For example, on my sister's wedding day, I did my own hair, even though, as a bridesmaid, I just did my own hair, because I'm fine doing my own hair, and so I did spray this on just to give it that extra hold, because I didn't want it To move throughout pictures I just wanted to be able to style, it feel good with how it looked and then be done for the day and not have to worry about it. So that's the time. Those are the instances that I would use a hair spray, but most of the time, I'd want to be able to play around with my hair and have it moved throughout the day yeah. So I really love this one from Josh Roseburg. If you have any hairspray recommendations or any recommendations for these types of products that I'm discussing, leave them down in the description box, so finally, this is not a product that I use super frequently, but I wanted to mention it because it is something that I feel Like a lot of people would like to use - and that is a dry shampoo, I, when I had longer hair, I loved using dry shampoo, because on second day hair, I could just spray my hair with dry shampoo and put it in a topknot and look totally Fine and my greasy roots would be hidden, but unfortunately with the pixie. I just can't do that very often, it just doesn't work for me, and I don't know it just doesn't work for me. So if I do have, if I do go two days without washing my hair, then I'll just throw a hat on, but occasionally I do use a dry shampoo and currently I'm using this from. I don't know how to pronounce this brand name. Captain Blankenship, I got it on the petty 4 website and it is mainly made from arrowroot powder white clay, rice powder, baking, soda, etc. So this is just a powder form that you can just pour into your hand, and it is very messy, so I mean if I do use this, I make sure I don't have my shirt on for the day, so I apply it before. I put my clothes on for the day and it is pretty messy and it is white. It leaves a bit of a white cast in my super dark hair. So, for that reason I don't use it all the time, but I do sometimes use a minimal amount of it just to give me again more texture and volume in my roots, if you can't tell I really like texture and volume in my hair, if you have Any dry shampoo recommendations for me: please leave them down in the comments down below you always have great recommendations and yeah. That'S pretty much it for today's video. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you have an awesome day and I'll see you in my next video bye. You
