Pixie Hair Tutorial ~ Styling withOUT a Blow Dryer?!😱

so many of you have asked shirley what would happen if you didn't use the blow dryer just let your hair dry naturally well here's the answer to your question now it's not bad but this is so not me this is not how i would leave my house so what are we gonna do well typically i would wet my hair add my styling products blow dry it go through the whole shebang but in the effort to do something different and to help those of you who don't like to use a hairdryer or you know maybe you shower at night time you like to let your hair just dry naturally you get up in the morning and it's like what do i do so if you don't want to start over from wet hair and use a hair dryer we're gonna figure out how we can go from this to something i would actually leave my house in if you're new here be sure you hit that subscribe button and now let's get started since my hair is dry the typical products like my root boost my shine serums those kinds of things are not going to work on my dry hair so i went through my cupboards to see okay what could i use to add a little bit of volume from this dry state now before we get going let me just show you what we're dealing with here so this is apparently my natural part it's where my hair wants to fall many of you have asked if i have straight hair curly hair i have some weird curls throughout so i do not have completely straight hair but here in the back you'll see it is laying pretty flat so for me personally i need some more volume and lift up through here we need this straightened out and just have it look a little more modern so i went through my cupboards and i did find two dry shampoos here i'm a little afraid to use them because the scent i sprayed these on a tissue just to see what they smelled like and the scent is so perfumey and strong so i thought well why not use a little bit of the kenra volume spray now this is super hold but for me it's not super hold so i'm going to start by spraying just a little bit of this through the crown i'm also going to spray just a touch through this portion right here and let's see about right here because i want as i flat iron i am going to use a flat iron and as i flat iron it i want the flat iron to have a little bit of product to kind of grip to and to help the hair hold in its new flattened state or lifted state so um i feel like adding a little bit of product through is going to just help add a little bit of texture in the hair because again i'm starting off with absolutely nothing in my hair all right next i've got my flat iron i'm going to start off with it at 370 which is my normal temperature and well this is a pretty high part for me normally i part a little bit further over so we're going to kind of keep that in mind as i flat iron so um i am going to see if i can work the bang section over and then right here where i have all of those kind of crazy curls i'm gonna pull the flat iron through and one other note is i am getting my hair cut tomorrow hallelujah i had her leave it a little bit longer last time because i just wasn't sure there was a few things i wanted to tweak but consequently the undercut was also left longer she kind of angled out the undercut so my hair is tending to do this mushroom shape so we're going to also take care of that and what i'm going to do here on the sides is i'm going to pull the flat iron almost like i want to flip it out but not quite so what that's doing is it's kind of taking out a little bit of that bump up here and then i can take the flat iron kind of through and it's just going to hopefully help make the hair look a little bit more messy and piecey all right let's just move on through here and the top i'm kind of doing my my usual thing and i can tell there's a little bit of extra volume from that kenrish spray but it's not quite like i get when i use the catwalker boost and blow dry my hair so we're going to have some work to do with our dry wax all right i'm gonna take this through and as i am you'll see i am combing this over because again i want a deeper part then my hair naturally wants to go all right and then you'll see right here again because it's so long and it's long underneath i'm getting this bump out here now this is a tip if you are growing out an undercut and you're trying you're at this stage and you're like oh my goodness what am i gonna do again what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the flat iron and kind of angle it towards the head and pull down and you can see it just kind of flattens that because there's no way you can flat iron those little tiny short pieces underneath so this is kind of my solution lately just to kind of flatten those down just a little bit so i know we want volume up here but we don't want it on the sides right all right let me just take a peek at the back i have a mirror on the side that i use so hold on one second okay so the back is you know laying down so we're gonna change that up slightly now you've heard me talk about it before but this is another good test to see the power of enjoy dry wax so i get lots of questions about this and i will leave links in the description box below for a couple of videos about it also some links of where to purchase it no this video is not sponsored i've just used this product for years and personally i've never found anything else quite like it so i'm using a small amount in my hands to start with and the trick with this product you really need to warm it up in your hands you can use your blow dryer but since i'm not using my blow dryer today i just work it between my hands all right and now as i distribute it i first start kind of on the ends of the hair and i'm really just kind of touching my hair all over you don't have to worry this dry wax does not dry like your typical gel so you want to distribute it kind of evenly before you start molding and shaping your hair that way you avoid getting massive amounts of wax like right here or right here so you don't want to you don't want to get any big chunks of wax anywhere all right so as i mentioned i want a deeper part i'm going to work this over and as i'm doing that scrubbing my fingers in the roots of my hair all right and then in this scalp section many of you have asked how do you add volume how do you make that back section stick up well if you have just a minimal amount of that wax on your hands and you can see i'm it's almost like i'm giving myself a scalp massage actually feels quite nice all right so you can see i mean you can go as crazy as you want to back there we're not going to leave it like that so don't worry we're getting closer so now now that i have a good amount distributed and my hair is looking more messy which is what i personally like i'm going to now just take a little more wax on my hands and use this to just piece a few sections or tame down so right here you can see it's like kind of all scrunched up in there i'm just gonna use my fingers to just kind of pull that outer part of the hair over so it doesn't look like it's ratted underneath or anything all right and then just going to continue working through my hair and shaping certain sections and then i'm gonna check out the back again and i'll let you know what i find out okay so in the back i'm kind of pretty happy with this it's a little bit messy kind of spiky not really um i just usually tame down a few of the longer hairs there in preparation for hairspray all right and then the final thing i'll do like right here you can see where that mushroom is starting so what i'll do is just take a little bit of that wax and kind of press it towards kind of the side of my head and towards the front and i find that that really helps kind of narrow that in and for me because i have kind of more of a round face that's why i don't want extra volume here on the sides because i feel like it brings more volume to and width to my face if however you have a more narrow face volume out to the side is actually going to be good for you so all right now i'm going to switch to the instant freeze hairspray by aussie the ken rack a lot of people love this it's just not enough hold for me personally but a lot of people do love it so i'm going to go in with aussie now and i'm just really going to kind of finish the shaping and lock it in place all right i popped in some earrings and now here is our finished look so i have to say i'm pretty surprised that from where i started to where we ended up that i got here without the use of a blow dryer now obviously it takes longer for hair to air dry and for me because i have super thick hair it actually takes a couple hours so it's not really a time saving measure for me but it did definitely save my hair from that extra heat damage from blow drying so for those of you who've been curious to know if you can air dry your hair and still style it successfully hopefully today's video is helpful for you as always i will leave links to all the products that i used in today's video in the description box below thank you so much for watching i'll see you next time bye [Music] [Music] you
