10 Simple Tricks For Short Hair
Welcome back my lovelies. Today we’re talking about tiny easy hair hacks. Every girl should know some of them you probably already know and think obviously. And then some other ones I might maybe surprise you. Let’s get started. The first hair hack is what you guys always ask me in every single video mine is how do I get the volume on my roots on the top of my head. for that you can use African pride products, which will give you best volume on your hair. So this hack relies solely on the technique or the process of how I dry my hair. It doesn’t matter if it’s air-dry or blow-dry.
French Braid Updo
You get very similar results. So what I used to do to achieve literally nothing I would always have flat roots. Was that only part my hair on one side specifically. Let’s. For example, I’d the only part it on my left side so I would dry my hair on the left side style and to kind of my hair would memorize a certain area and it would just style itself even when I would just kind of try to pull my hair back. It would just go back to the left side where the part I usually parted.

So what I did first was I started drying either air dry or blow dry on alternate sides instead of keeping it always on the left. I wouldn’t go switching between the middle or the right side and then back to the left just to kind of reteach my hair to be a little bit more flexible and so I would have more control. All right. But it doesn’t stop there. This hack gives me even more volume so I do this more intentionally than I used to before. I don’t wash my hair every single day.

Textured Pixie
I try to do takes between three to four days to kind of stretch it out and I will intentionally decide where I want to part it for those specific days. So last night I took a shower and I wanted to part my hair on the left side. So this is what you do to get that nice volume eyes roots instead of partying and drying on the left side. I literally take it all my hair on the right side of my head all of it when it’s completely wet and I either blow dry or air dry my hair all of it until it’s completely dry on the opposite side of where I want to part it once it’s completely dried.

Pixie Perfection
I bring it back to the part where I want to style it. You get instant volume. It isn’t that easy. But wait there’s more. Let’s say you like your hair parted in the middle once in a while or sometimes or all the time and you still want that volume. So what I do is I take pretty deep sides and both right and left side and I blow dry my hair on each side so I alternate a little bit here a little bit there and then make sure you get in the front.
So the baby hairs and the rest of your hair is kind of going backwards. What I like to do once is completely dry. Let it go and then put it in the middle and you still get crazy beautiful volume on your roots on both sides of your head. That’s it. It literally does a trick every time. So this next hack is for damaged hair dry hair brittle hair. Frizzy hair basically hair that needs some love.
You are OK. I think so. I am now not that kind of love.

Messy Bun with Volume
The coconut oil I kind of love and make sure you use Virgin unprocessed raw coconut oil. So it doesn’t have extra chemicals it’s non-gmo it’s strictly coconut oil that’s all you need. So because my hair is super over-processed and over-bleached and because I’m a human and I like styling my hair with tools. Let’s be honest. I do always turn to this coconut oil for deep conditioning hair masks that I do overnight. Basically what this mask does it conditions my hair it makes my hair softer it makes my hair shinier and overall improves the texture of my hair which gradually makes my hair healthier hack number three is how you properly pin the bobby pins.

There’s actually a very good scientific explanation with it. Bear with me. Let’s take a closer look. So it has two sides to every bobby pin. There’s the flat longer side and then there is a top side where it has ridges on both top and bottom. I see that and it’s a little bit shorter.
So how I used to do it was I would always place the longer flat side against my roots and scalp and the ridges would always be on the top but then my hair would fall out over not hold. It would not stay in place and then I tried it on the other side.
And that’s literally how you’re supposed to wear the ridges toward your scalp and your roots. So the reason why this works is that a the hair has more surface area to grab onto the ridges and be because of the geometry of the ridges. Your hair has an easier time to clamp onto it and getting close as possible to your root or your scalp which results with your hair being nice and tight. It’s not going to go anywhere and it just holds it in place versus the flat side hair hack. Number four is to give the bobby pins a little bit more attraction.
Right baby. Yes. So all you need for this is either hairspray or dry shampoo and then a nice clean paper towel or something that you can hold the bobby pins in. I’m going to place my pants flatly. I’m a paper towel and then spray either dry shampoo or some hair spray just spray from the top once you sprayed it. I’m going to pick it up and then just kind of bounce them around. So all sides get covered so they get nice and sticky see that. So this is what’s going to help stick and give more traction to your hair.
