Wrap your pixie cut like a pro and wake up flawless

Although pixie cuts are effortlessly stylish, it can be difficult to wake up with hair that looks as good as it did when you left the salon.

Now for the expert tip: wrap your pixie cut to ensure it stays perfect all night. It’s not as hard as you would think, and with a few easy tips, you’ll wake up ready to rock the day without any frizz or bother.

According to Curl Nikki, whether your pixie is curly or straight, curl cream, edge control, wide teeth and rat tail combs will make you look your best.

Tools that will come in handy:

  1. A silk scarf/Headwrap
  2. Styling creams or leave-in conditioners
  3. Hair Clips (Optional)
  4. Lightweight mousse or curl cream

How to wrap your pixie hairstyle:

  • Moisturize Before You Wrap: The above source also mentions that moisture is essential for a nice pixie cut, particularly if your hair is a new colour. Deep conditioning once a week can help repair heat damage and stop more breaking.
  • Use a Silk or Satin Scarf: Bring the scarf around your head and tuck it behind your ears. By doing this, you can make sure your pixie cut will remain in place and not flatten as you sleep.
  • Wake Up and Unveil
