Hairdresser reacts to long hair to pixie cut transformations
video description
First, you think it will be easier to maintain, but in actuality short hair takes a ton of maintenance in terms of getting regular haircuts every 4-6 weeks for shaping, otherwise it looks awful. Plus, most of the grow-out period it will be a full-on mullet unless you keep chopping the back while the top/crown grows out slooooowwwwly. (and mullets were NOT cool back then, I remember the ridicule during that painful time. I still don't think they are cool but i know they were trendy for a bit. With long hair, any issues are pretty well hidden and you can go longer between cuts. and with long curly hair a lot of color mistakes aren't as obvious either.
Second, curly hair like that will take FOREVER to grow out. It took almost a full 4 years until my hair was able to be at all one length just at the top of my shoulders. So this could be a very long-term mistake that you're making, so be sure you want to commit to a pixie before doing this.

I just did this yesterday. Well, I didn't cut it myself, but honestly, I probably would have done a cleaner job with a set of buzz cutters. They cut at least 2 inches too short on the top and the sides of the top are all uneven. ( AND THEY HAD A PICTURE IN FRONT OF THEM OF WHAT I WANTED LENGTH WISE ) I made no mistake I was displeased as I threw my hoodie over my head IN THE SALON. I was so mad. Came home, washed it and TRIED to do SOMETHING with it. I had TOLD her I was super super short on sides and back, and enough on top to just take a few flips with a flat iron to try some fun things. Hey, Im 52, I've earned some fun! But noooo, too short for a flat iron to do ANYTHING. So I just played around and now Im kinda rocking this Linda Dano type deal. Ah well. Live and learn. Hair grows back. BUT. my main reason for doing this, was to kind of reset on my hair. It was so damaged. I want to start afresh ( kind of a Marie Kondo of the hair. Im just at a loss of what the best things like shampoos and treatments are going to help my hair grow back out healthy. SO of course. I go to Brad. And find this. LOL

When I first did a pixie, it was exactly like the second video. I didn't have you back then, lol I was 13 or so, so that was 18 years ago. I ended up having to walk down the road to a friend's house, his mom cut his hair all the time and knew how to do a boy haircut. I wore a bandana for 2 months cuz it was way shorter than I wanted to go.
I rock a shorter, shaved pixie cut now and do it myself but have learned! Lol. I have to take off my glasses and use 2 mirrors of course, but it's exactly how I like it cut. I love watching your videos!

Hairdressers aren't good at short hair either. I have had a pixie for 7 years now. When I go to get it cut, they're always like, I don't want to cut it too short. Please, it is a pixie cut, it is supposed to be short. Two hours later I leave still looking shaggy. That's why I cut my pixie at home. I would love to find a barber who will do women's hair.

I once cut my curly hair to a bob, but only cause I already had a hairdresser appointment to go a few inches short. Recently cut it shorter again while it was in braids. I just held the cut-off-hair onto the next strand to cut off about the same length everywhere. I am lucky that curly hair is sooo forgiving when it comes to unevenness. It looks sick!

Dear Brad, Please consider putting out a scent free line of organic products. Some people can't use products with fragrances or common chemicals in them. I actually make my own shampoo at home but have to buy conditioner still because I haven't found a way to make that.

OMG the second girl sums up what I did from October 2019 to April 2020 until I literally just buzzed my head. Everyone needs to hack their hair to pieces at least once in their lives. It was as fun as it was horrifying.

I've had a pixie for 20 years. I've tried growing it back out a few times but always cut it. It's easier to deal with, especially because I have psoriasis. I hardly have to do anything in the morning and it's cute!
