Fake a Pixie with This Updo
By NaturallyCurly · Updated April 24, 2014

We all get the urge to try a pixie every now and then. But if that’s a fleeting fancy for you then you probably want to hold onto your long locks and opt for a temporary fix instead. This twist out updo creates the look of an asymmetrical pixie cut, and when you wash it out you’ve got your lovely long curls back!

What You’ll Need:

  • Bobby pins
  • Hair Milk Refresher Spray
  • Hair Milk Styling Pudding
  • Wide tooth comb
  • Pick

Directions

  1. Spray Refresher Spray throughout the hair
  2. Section the hair, start by parting it at the crown
  3. Tie the bottom section into a ponytail
  4. Apply Styling Pudding to the top half of hair in sections, comb through with a wide tooth comb.
  5. Two strand twist each section, applying extra Styling Pudding to the ends
  6. Untwist all of the hair, then pick and fluff
  7. Twist the ponytail up and secure with bobby pins. Pin the rest of the hair to create the shape you like
