The Top 8 Styling Products To Use When You're Growing Out A Pixie Cut
It's gonna make the awkward hair phase easier to deal with
Growing out a pixie cut is hell on earth. Not only is it excruciating, but it also limits you from trying out the amount of super dope hairstyles you've stumbled upon from Pinterest. If you've bleached your hair to match that freshly new 'do, it's even more challenging to maintain your colour as all of your roots will show up during the growing out stage (e.g. Miley Cyrus' two-toned bowl cut). Not only do you have to deal with a mullet-esque length, it's honestly hard to style your hair with all these newfound long layers.
Rather than resorting to hair extensions or a wig, we found the top 8 products that can help you hide a grown-out cut with effortless ease.
Need to style your hair in a rush after you accidentally overslept? The number one solution to hide a bedhead is to slick it all back with a gel. Filled with coconut oil, this nourishing gel will hydrate your strands after it's been taking a beating from the copious amounts of hairspray and heat from your hair dryer.
TIP: Cop the wet look effect by making a deep side part with your hair and apply it from your roots to ends.
