Pixie Haircut For Thick Course Hair Should You Cut It Or Not?

Hey guys, it's Diana from honest tv.com, and today I have a video. That'S all about this helmet right here, which is called my hair. Now it's all about this pixie cut hairstyle. I recently got my hair cut a couple of months ago. Let me just give you a little bit of background on my H, my hair journey. I am the type of person that will have below the waistline hair and then cut it all off yeah. I I tend to do that a lot. I'Ve done it a lot. I wouldn't say that I'm fearless, I think for me it's just. I do get nervous about cutting my hair really short, but before I cut my hair, I take, I think about it for a while so and I made sure that it is something that I actually really really wanted before. I actually cut it. So why I cut my hair, this short um. I have a lot of hair, it's very thick, it's very coarse, almost thread-like um and I'm not lying, and some parts are very frizzy and want to curl up a little bit, and I would just take me way too long to do my hair if it was Wet all you know from being led to completely styled, it would take me a good hour, and that is just way too much time. For me, I am NOT. Hair is just not my thing. It'S one of my least favorite things to do when I had it long. I wouldn't even brush it every day because just Japan, I would literally wake up, put it up in a bun and I was done with it because it's just so it seems so tedious to me and I'm sweating one blow drying, and it's just I just don't Like any part of it, I don't like it, which is why I went ahead and cut my hair off, because I want I wanted something that was low-maintenance. Now I've been wanting this haircut for two years and another thing that you need to take two years to dislike: to cut your hair. I'Ve just been going back and forth for that long to wanting to cut my hair, I've had my hair. Pretty short, it was a very short bob when I was like in my I was in my teens, so it was a very long time ago, but nothing quite this short. I didn't want to get a haircut that was going to cost even more maintenance that I know then I already had, which is one of the reasons why I held off, and I just didn't know if it was going to look good on me, because I have So much hair, I didn't want it to look like a mushroom or be extremely puffy, and I just I was just afraid of so many things you know could go that could go wrong. So that's why I held off for so long, but a couple of months ago I just said you know to heck with it. I'Ve been wanting this haircut for so long and I'm just gon na go for it, and I am that type of person that for me it's just hair and it'll grow back. You know if I don't like it, then I'll just wear a hat for a good year or two and or until I get it to a decent length where I'm comfortable. So I have a couple of tips for you guys, there's a couple things that I I didn't help me out prior to me, cutting my hair now the first thing like I said it took me too to decide on getting this haircut. I am NOT saying by any means you need to take that long, because I think that's just ridiculous. I took way too long but take as much time as you need. Obviously, apparently, that's as much time as I needed just a recommendation. If you wake up today, you say I want this cut. I want this pixie cut so badly, but you've never thought about it before or you've. Never had your hair short before something that I would recommend is just to wait a little bit, especially if you just all of a sudden want it, give yourself about a month, maybe two months and then at the end of the month or two months. You still want this hot thing go for it and the reason why I say that is because you've had a month to two months to really marinade into that. You know idea of wanting to get your hair cut this. This short, the reason why I say that also is because, if at the end you end up not liking how it looks on you or you just don't like it period, it's going to take you at least a year to two years, depending on how fast your Hair grows to get it to a decent length where you may, like it, and another thing that I actually did is. I went on to Google and Pinterest and I searched many many different pictures for a while before I decided what specific is there's different kinds of pixie cuts that you can get. I went on there and just to check and see which ones I liked. Now. I didn't just take one picture to my hairstylist. I took three pictures to my hairstylist and then she showed me other pictures that she had as well, so we talked and communicated about that. The only reason why I say take more than one. I would recommend about three is because I took in from different people and different angles of their head. So so excuse me, I'm sorry. Oh sorry, for instance, the front I took in a picture of a I think was Michelle Williams, where her bangs were a lot longer, and I liked how that looked and how it framed the face. So I've always liked longer bangs, I'm in the front as well. So I had a picture of that. Another picture that I took in was one of the back like here at the bottom. I wanted it to be more tapered than another picture that I showed her was one where the gal had more of it. Looked like a really short bob, almost a pixie, but I liked more of like the crown of the head, how it had that volume at the top. Now my head goes it's round here and then it falls flat at the back. So I needed that little volume back here, I would recommend, is be realistic about it. If you are taking a specific picture to your hairstylist, be mindful that it may not look exactly the same when you walk out of the salon, not because the style, but because your hair may be very different than the model in the pictures here is make sure That you research, a hairstylist, make sure that you go to somebody that you trust and make sure that you go to somebody. That knows that what they're doing check reviews online make sure that your hairstylist makes enough to not only talk to you about the haircut prior to you getting it cut, but make sure that they set aside plenty of time for them to take their time. On your hair, especially for someone, that's never has this cut before and or they've never played with your hair before I feel like they should be taking their time. My hairstylist took her time. She set aside plenty of time for us to talk about my haircut for her to cut my hair, and then I talked to her while she was cutting my hair like what are you doing here and what are we gon na do here and just communicate back And forth with your hairstylist, I don't think they should mind that I don't know, I'm not a hairstylist and I don't want to offend any hairstylist by any means, but my hairstylist. This is what she did and as a client. I was very thankful for that, because that meant to me that she cared about my hair. Other thing is: if you are wondering if this is the type of haircut, that is for you, if you have thick coarse hair, I have that kind of hair and all my hairstylist did. Is she texturized and thin the heck out of it, because I have so much of it? It wanted to kind of poof up a little bit so the first time that she actually cut it. She didn't cut it as short as I wanted it to, but her and I talked about it and we agreed that that's how we were going to leave it and the only reason. Why is because I have a couple of squirrels. I called them normally nose here in the back, and my hair was wanting to lay many different ways. It wasn't really wanting to cooperate and it was just you don't wanted to live here and do this. So she didn't want to go a lot shorter because my hair was heavy. Now I had, I was growing out a bob, so I had it a little bit past shoulder length, but my hair is very, very heavy. This is what she said to me. You need to give your hair time for it to adjust and get used to the cut because we're cutting it. My hair was like what the hell are you doing to me. What am I supposed to do? My hair didn't know what to do or which way delays. So she left it a little bit longer the first time because she wanted to give it a month for my hair to get try to get used to this this haircut and she was absolutely right. So that's another thing: if your hairstylist is recommending something you know, I trust IVA, so I went ahead and did what she wanted it to it wasn't as short as I wanted it to it still looked very cute. Don'T get me wrong, I like the haircut, but I wanted it a lot shorter in certain areas. I still went ahead and listened to her because she's the hairstylist. I know she only wants you know what's going to get the best result in the end. So I'm very thankful that I actually listened to her the second time around when I went in a month later, my hair was cooperating a lot better. She got it a lot shorter. I actually haven't been in in three months in three months in three weeks. So it's grown out quite a bit here and I absolutely I love it now when I recommend this for people that have coarse hair. Yes, I would um I'm not a hair stylist, but I'm just speaking from my experience as long as your hair style hairstylist. You know texturize, is it and thins it out? It will look good now it doesn't look completely flat and I'm okay with that. I like that. I like a little bit of volume um, but it won't look like a mushroom um now. Is it easy for me? Yes, if I would have known this haircut, this is the best and the most low-maintenance haircut I have ever had and if I would have known it was gon na be like this. I would have done it two years ago. No lie without a doubt. I would have definitely done it two years ago because I love this cut so much, I'm extremely obsessed with it, because I feel like I can wake up in the morning. If it's a really bad, you know Bed Head day. Then it takes me. You know five to ten minutes, but if it's one of those mornings from like - oh it's not so bad, I just left some water on it and run my fingers through it, maybe add a little bit of pomade and I'm done I'm done on my hair. I feel like my hair now looks like it's done all the time like done up all the time, and I didn't I hardly put any effort into it, so, comparing five to ten minutes, comparing that to an hour of what I used to do before it's mind, Blowing, I would definitely recommend this to anybody. I go for it. I think it's the best thing ever for me. It'S a time saver and I feel like I really don't have to do anything. Sometimes, if I want a little bit extra I'll I'll bring out my straightening iron once I wash my hair once I dry towel dry, it I'll add on a leave-in conditioner, which is the whole done. Okay, I'm back I'll, add on my healthy sexy hair. This is the one that she applies. My hair styler supplies at the salon. This is the healthy sexy, hair, soul, soy, try we Edie and conditioner. I added right outside right out of the shower, because I have so much hair. I don't want it to. You know be getting frizzy or just poof up too much, so I want to flatten it as much as I can so this is the one I changed the cap because it broke, but I think it comes with them a white cap. I don't remember, but it's this one right here, it's this one right here. I hope you guys can see it um and I add-on I bought this one at Walmart. It was like five bucks. I want to say five, no more than five fifty and it's just a foaming, a white foamy and it smells it doesn't smell very feminine. It makes me think of a man's perfume, but it's not annoying at all trust me. So what I do is I get out of the shower put in my leave-in conditioner dry. It three quarters of the way, then, once it's dry or let it air dry, three quarters of the way then I'll blow dry it for five minutes, maybe um and and that's it I'll blow dry it and then I'll. Add this and I'm done. I don't straighten it. This is everyday for me very, very easy or not everyday, but when I wash my hair I don't wash my hair as often either anymore, because I used to wash my hair like twice twice a week now I do it once a week that may be gross To some to some people, but I feel like my hair just doesn't get as greasy as it did before, because I'm not having to do this all the time. I don't add this every single day, so some mornings I'll wake up and I'll just add a little water and then just play with my hair and then I'm done now. I did buy another pomade. If you were to ask me if to buy this or this, this is the Bed Head manipulator. This is the meaning one. This was like fire. This was the same price as this one and look at the size. This one is a lot more running and I just feel like it doesn't really it's a lot more runny. I feel like you can't really see it, but it look. It'S running down um I feel like it doesn't hold it as much as this one. Does this one is completely like stiff, you have to you, know, run rub your fingers against the pomade in order to get product out, and I only need the smallest amount to kind of get flyaways down and you know lay my hair down. Whichever way I want to get it so, but yeah that is all I have to do. This is the easiest haircut that I've ever personally had against my husband's wishes. I'M probably gon na keep this cut for a very long time, because I really like it. I love it so so so much. I can't recommend it enough if you've been thinking about it, just go for it um, you know. If you don't end up, not liking it, then you know like this. I take some biotin. You know put some oils in your hair to encourage hair growth and hopefully it'll grow back faster, but yeah that that's all I have for you guys. I hope you guys found this video helpful if you have any questions, leave them below in the comment section, I will see you guys later bye,
