“Don’t overuse the products,” says Balding. “Too much can make your style look really stiff or dated.” If you find you’ve used too much product, try a good shampoo to clarify your hair. If your scalp is dry, try Shu Uemura Gentle Radiance Cleansing Oil Shampoo.
“Styling is key when it comes to maintaining your pixie cut at home—you want to keep it looking fresh,” says Balding. “This starts with using the appropriate products for your hairtype to create the right kind of texture, no matter what type of look you’re trying to achieve.”
“You also need to start with a good foundation,” says Balding. “If your hair is damaged or hard to manage, mist Redken’s One United all-in-one multi-benefit treatment all over damp hair before applying your styling products. This will ensure you get the best results.”
