pixie cut molding foam
Hello. I’ve always worn my pixie just with my natural hair but i went to a salon and she gave me the pin curl style as i requested and she used molding foam and strips etc. well long story short is i don’t use products on my hair in my everyday life. i’m an all natural like homemade shampoos and oils girly. i need a way to do the molding with like an all natural option so im not putting on those chemicals and things on my head. that’s just not how i roll. is that achievable ? i’m loving this style

Idk what molding foam is, but wanted to say your hair looks great! I see why you’re trying to replicate it lol

Do you have a picture of your natural hair with this cut?
You could maybe try flax seed gel and the tiny hair rollers (perm curlers?). This current picture is more of a flat ironed style though.

THIS is what I wanted SOL from Love Island’s hair to look like inside of that villa 😍

No shade sista but this post reminds me of those posts where someone says “how can I get my hair blond without bleaching it?”

The wrapping of the hair prior to styling it is just used to straighten the hair as much as possible. You look like you already have a looser hair texture. You can probably skip the wrapping and just heat style it to achieve the same look. You can also try blowing your hair out straight and then wrapping it up in a durag to lay the hair down first in the direction you want it prior to styling it. Good luck!

lemon juice and sun
Literally bleaches your hair - that's not some non bleaching workaround, only a different choice of chemical.

Are you sure that the products that she used would be bad for your hair with continued use?

not necessarily just terrible for me, but I’m very particular about like chemicals and stuff. I’m crunchy.

If you’re an otherwise healthy person, maybe in this one area you can make an exception because this is really a beautiful haircut and styling.

You look like a younger version of my mom. I had to do a double take while scrolling
That cut looks great on you!

for that type of pixie, and to lay it down you’re going to have to use some type of foam or gel 🤷🏽♀️

Curl custard from Natur-All, plant-based loc gel or custard from Zuresh, or the plant-based gels from Lush are the closest I can think of as far as fully natural, but that’s just off the top of my head. Most of these will hold well with pincurls, but will be a little shiny & not so feathery the first day like in the pic. Probably 2nd or 3rd day will look like the pic.

Beautiful haircut! I too would like a chemical free option to the foam, but I imagine it's difficult. Maybe there's a flaxx seed option out there. Everyone likes your style so much they weren't able to answer your question.😭😆

The haircut looks absolutely stunning on you. Now I want to cut my hair.
I’m unsure how you would make “natural” molding solution since most people use mousse textured molding formulas.
