Easy, Beachy, Summertime Hair While Growing Out A Pixie

[@sarahm989]

An old hairdresser I went to years ago used to call what you and I have a "half assed curl" - meaning more than a wave, but not quite a curl. LOL! It is way easier to enhance what you already have. I used to have problems parting my hair, then I started going with where it parted naturally. It looked tons better. Mother Nature knows best sometimes!

[@gwenkirkland5462]

I love the way your hair looks naturally. Mine does the same thing. Growing out my pixie, but am to the point where I just want to cut it short again. I don't want to have too short hair in the winter though. I love the ease of this hairstyle. I have the same slightly wavy hair that just doesn't look as pretty as it did when I was younger. Thanks for the tips & I love your personality!! Fun to watch you. Love your little partner there too!! He's adorable

[@brookecantrell8561]

That looks great on you. I'll give it a try. I too use "stop-a-bird-in-flight" hairspray. I love that! The four-legged co-stars are cute 💜💕💛

[@deborc2705]

Cute! I tried a beachy paste like a pomade, on my long hair. It gave me a nice piecey, beachy look. I also have some shampoo to active the natural curl in my hair. I should try that again to in my "randomocity". ;)

[@Truth-zn6hh]

Thank you, Monique! Your commentary is hysterical!! This is a very cute style - and a helpful video - for curly haired gals and summer humidity. I don't have "pretty curls" - but I will go with it and help it do it's thing! As you say - your hair will win anyway :) To freedom and beauty and embracing silver and curls!

[@lisaryan2755]

You are a scream!! Love how much shine the curling iron gives your hair. Great tutorial!

[@larrye.quigley4379]

I love the natural look, for what that is worth.

[@jerikontogeorgis555]

Love your videos. I am thinking about going all gray but haven't got there yet. I have natural curls and haven't used a dryer, curling iron for a few years. Always tried to straighten when I was younger but now just embrace what I have except for the tint every four weeks. I am 60 and have been dying my hair since I was in my thirties. Your videos are helping me make the decision to quit tinting my hair. Thanks.......have a great week!

[@juliewilson9002]

Finally subscribed today! I'm in my late 40's with young children, growing out my silver hair--almost finished. Found your channel when I first decided to go gray and have loved your videos. Thank YOU bunches, Monique! :)

[@drudewitt]

"curls up like a duck's butt!" This made me smile----we must be related somehow. My dad's nickname for me as I was growing up was "Drulinda Duck-cut" for that exact reason. Still fits. :) Thanks so much for your videos! They are making this recuperation so much more pleasant.

[@lilygudsnuk5394]

Beautiful! ! Thanks Monique 👍

[@viviennehamilton4127]

I love the commentary very funny but not funny I can imagine if you have hair humidity problems. I dont have problems with hair humidity - do we ever have humidity in the UK but I know at lot of my USA friends on YT have big problems this time of year. Your thinking is bang on you may as well let it do what it will but you have made your hair look so good in the process there are a lot of ladies who spend hours trying to get a beachy look. Love your videos Monique thank you so much. xoxo Vivienne

[@robyn9059]

you have the most beautiful hair I've seen in a pixie cut. I finally remembered who you remind me of, Janet Leigh. awesome video

[@theresebeavers6401]

Yes, she absolutely reminds me of Janet Leigh. I loved her too!!

[@NordicGirl2]

If I let my hair get as long as yours in the summer, I look like a q-tip! I don't dry my hair, it just gets "crunchy" on the ends. I have to keep it cut within an inch of its life. Really great for summer, not so hot for winter in Minnesota. Love your hair short! Plus it really enhances the curl you do have in the back. Keep up the great videos, I love to watch them and get inspired.

[@NordicGirl2]

+Monique Parent Yeah you don't realize how much warmer you are with hair. I wonder if I should let my leg hair grow out over winter too. Hmmmm! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. I'm a bit older then you and have been going with the gray since I was in my 40s. I like it. No muss no fuss.

[@NordicGirl2]

+Monique Parent I would but then I'd have to braid it! 😳😊 I'm like a yeti for Gods sake!

[@carolynmclaughlin8077]

love your hair

[@moriganna67ify]

Hahaha Randomosity love it! I have the same fine curly frizzy hair. Summer is horrible because of the humidity and in winter it gets static my lol. I leave it natural now however all through high school I straightened my hair with a brush and hair dryer. So much easier now days with anti frizz products. I am using TREsemme climate control right now I got at the Dollarama. A hug family size bottle of shampoo for 3$ and a bottle of conditioner for 3$ then got the Liquid Gold Shine Therapy for 3 though the bottle is small a little goes a long ways and I use it twice a week. Having dyed hair will strip the hair as you mentioned so nourishing it is as important as nourishing our body. Love your channel. xo

[@moriganna67ify]

You are welcome Hun. Looking forward to the next video!

[@claudettethauvette5129]

Wow that looks nice .!

[@headlessviolin]

This has always been my thinking my hair does it own thing I'm just glad I have some Chris xx

[@carlasitari1143]

What a haircut!

[@LittlePoet]

How have I missed you? You are so beautiful and so stylish! I just subbed and I can't wait to catch up on your videos! So nice to meet you! You are so good in front of the camera!~ Susan

[@snuuuzans5841]

Hi Monique. A tip is to bleach your hair with Olaplex. Thanks for the video :-)

[@TinyTitan50]

Another good one! I always use a lot of product to tame my short hair...this summer maybe I should just loosen up and go with it...with a little help! Take care...

[@lisbusch]

Great message doll! Keep up the inspiring work! Loving it!

[@leahsmith2779]

Very beautiful Monique, have a great week:)

[@sharonelder9062]

Hi Monique, just recently subscribed and love your videos. What eye wrinkle removing eye pads do you use? Thanks

[@ddruidway3688]

Hi i love your video's, could you give any advise for a good hairstyle for long very curly thick hair that is transitioning to gray please, as you do such amazing hairstyles, thank you

[@saralobato4065]

So pretty your hair!!! 👍🏽 👍🏽

[@jacqueb7395]

In a pinch, aloe is a good hair gel.

[@headlessviolin]

Have you ever tried the salt spray beach hair stuff. Dubious to spend out just wondered or is it for the kids? Chris xx

[@Suzee46]

You should really try Living Proof Humidity Shield!! It doesn't leave ANY buildup and it instantly removes the frizz. My hair is a lot like yours, naturally curly but not in any "good" way!! I swear by this product!! (Their Amp product gives my roots lift. Love it too!! I love their products!!) I just ordered their shampoo & conditioner in their no frizz line.

[@elizabethwinchell1338]

Which curl enhancing products do you like to use? I have baby fine, wavy, sometimes frizzy hair, and I just got my hair cut into an inverted bob, so I'm thinking of experimenting to see if I can pull off a wavy/curly-ish bob. (Photo is of pre-bob hair, styled by the lovely lady who cut it, I think in 2010 or 2011.)

[@edithlarsen9274]

Try the curly girl way. You might just like it i do.

[@michaelcristian6158]

Love you baby!

[@msexplorer1000]

Those curling irons really iron out the cuticles and makes the silver shine! Such a difference!.Watching this video whilst i'm processing(1hr) "manic panic blue steel" (which I learnt from you) at the sides and back and "Directions" Silver on top to make it more interesting. Wish I had my floppy fringe back so I could curl it. Oh well it will grow. With all the negative feelings I've been having towards my Granny head of late...like you...no disrespect...just that I haven't a mature enough face to go with the hair...I think the fact of not getting hideous roots (which gives the illusions of baldness) out ways those downer days. Can you do some Funky mixed colouring? would be interested to see what you do...has nothing to do with the fact that I will find it most amusing :-/

[@msexplorer1000]

Lol...When I wrote Funky...I meant in the Silver/Grey tonal range(As in slicing in different grey/silver tones) It's really interesting to see how many variations there are in natural grey hair. I was pleased with the result...Like the darker grey at the sides and back with the silver slice on top. It has taken the elderly look away thats for sure. On the subject of Funky funky :-/ there is a range of colours here in the UK called Artic Fox. There is a product by the same make, a shampoo, that takes the colour out. Since my bleached toned ends have been cut out, my hair doesn't grab the colour as much.

[@mihaelacirpa4881]

You are lovely!

[@caroleroscoe1274]

sorry dnt get the grey look. love beein a blonde

[@MrsBozoiyo]

I know what you mean about "P.E" instructor lol! I mean, what's up with that anyway? Anyway, I've never thought your hair looked that bad, lol! I like your dress.

[@MrsBozoiyo]

Lol! I've had pixie cuts before. They can get sucky once they start to grow out. And yes, P.E. teacher but I think yours is beyond that stage, lol.

[@SmartMouthLife]

I totally make up words!! This looks very hip on you... Not P.E. teacher! 😜

[@Ann4U2000]

I love the ease of it all. I'm going to try it. I have about the same amount of curls as you ( and a similar style...slightly longer) and I cut my long hair off to transition faster. I couldn't stand the faded color and it's just easier transitioning this wat=y then trying to keep it long. I tend to frizz when I air dry...so product is a must. I love my natural pewters and pepper.:)

[@Ann4U2000]

I will!
