6. Finish with a light veil of the flexible hold hairspray listed below to lock the sophisticated shape in place without any stiffness.
This neon orange spiky pixie is full-on punk energy and so effortlessly cool! I love how piecey and textured the crown is without feeling overly stiff or weighed down. If you've been wanting to go bold with your cut and crave an electric shade that turns heads everywhere you go, this style is definitely calling your name!
How to do this
1. Start by prepping your pre-lightened, vibrant orange pixie with clean, damp hair and apply a dab of the lightweight volumizing mousse listed below to build core body.
2. Blow-dry the hair using a small vent brush or simply your fingers, directing the roots upwards and forwards to create lift and separation at the crown.
3. Once completely dry, warm a dime-sized amount of the matte styling paste listed below between your palms until translucent.
4. Work the paste vigorously through the top and crown, pulling sections upward and outward to form distinct, spiky, defined pieces.
5. Use your fingertips with a pinch of the texturizing fiber wax listed below to define the tapered edges around the ears and softly sweep the textured fringe across the forehead.
6. Lock the entire punk structure in place with a strong blast of the extreme hold matte finishing hairspray listed below so your spikes hold all day.
7. Maintain the intense neon color between salon visits by washing weekly with the semi-permanent color depositing orange conditioner listed below.
