[@c-light7624]

Pixie cuts are _extremely_ flattering for most women. It’s an oldie but goodie and works in any decade. The stigma surrounding short hair doesn’t make sense to me. Yes, you can look womanly and beautiful with a “boy” haircut. Believe that!

[@9melissal]

I wouldn't say most. They are extremely flattering on some women but you have to have the bone structure to pull it off, but with the ones that do it definitely can look amazing!

[@xotennisxgirlox]

Women don’t do because there are a lot of stupid men out there who believe women shouldn’t have short hair.

[@maarselatallah6703]

It is also an intimidating cut for the woman itself. You are completely exposed so you also need to have the confidence to rock it. They people that do they look breath taking!

[@TheKeishana]

@@maarselatallah6703 yap i remember a guy told me that.

[@ladylaurenia]

I plan to get one in the spring. So excited!

[@jm2307]

Relaxers really are a lifestyle. I begged for one as a kid & had one for years but as an adult I decided to go back to natural. TBH any Black hairstyle is a lifestyle. No shade to anyone on how they choose to style their hair!

[@brookew2403]

She looks amazing! The hairdresser is truly an artist.

[@livinglikeleah]

I’m the complete opposite lol, I was relaxed as a kid and now I wear my natural hair, just a preference. Everyone should wear the hairstyle that they feel they can handle. Natural hair is no joke

[@resec483]

This is the absolute truth. I can't wear a relaxer because my hair is very weak. However, I miss the ease and the styles.

[@marleyhill34]

I find my natural hair easier. My hair is weak due to genetics and my scalp is sensitive. My relaxed hair would always be over processed and start breaking. Every time I combed it lot of hair would come out. It had no body/volume and I hated going to the salon for hours on end. Going natural taught me a lot about hair in general and my hair specifically. Luckily or unluckily my hair never grows past my shoulders so it's not as much work as someone like my sister who has waist length hair. I can shampoo, condition and style my natural hair in 30 minutes if necessary. My hair doesn't tangle easily because I detangle weekly. If I only washed my hair once a month, I would be detangling semi dreadlocks. Something I'd rather not do. Not saying I would never relax but at the moment I'm enjoying the freedom from the scalp discomfort and the salon and the lack of volume.

[@kellym.6777]

Same! Personally I think taking care of relaxed hair is super high maintenance. You have to handle the growth, retouch etc. Either way I'm a fan of beautiful healthy hair natural or relaxed

[@Your_Favorite_Season]

@Rese C girl saaaammmmeee! I want a pixie soo bad, but my hair is too sensitive for relaxers. All I want to do is have a short cut cut!

[@mmxw2294]

My natural hair is 12-14 inches long 4C and I detangled my hair before wash during deep conditionings then after it’s so tiring my hair clumps together and knots at the end so agree no joke at all

[@AleinWonderland]

As an aspiring hairstylist this is absolute fire to see! What a knowledgeable and kind soul the hairdresser is and she looks absolute fire!

[@CocoaCookies_]

Her face is perfect with this haircut. Wow! And I love how dense and healthy her hair is.

[@nana8135]

It really is

[@milk_coco8883]

I went back relaxed after 4 years natural. Loving it! I relax my hair every 4-6 months. And care for it almost the same as when I was natural. Hair is almost to my booty now.

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

I will ALWAYS love this cut.. those short cuts like this one are a go-to winner. Well done fam

[@plee6223]

This hair cut amazing. The client looks stunning with this haircut. This stylist gave his client a new vibe and helped her release a heart warming smile.

[@joywebb6964]

Shout out to the beautician for educating us on hair care with the perm. Not everyone wants to be natural and thats ok. She does what works with her life style as we all should. It was her confidence for me.💜

[@eyekandy3000]

We’ve come a long way when relaxers have a stigma and natural hair is where it’s at. I was made fun of in middle school for having kinky hair- which was actually relaxed just not bone straight. I think we should all just let each other do what we want with our hair 👍🏽

[@leila_de_hautjardin]

I hope that one day black women will be able to wear their hair how they want without getting shamed for it. Natural hair is fine. Relaxed hair is fine. Wigs and lace front are fine. Blue hair is fine (ok maybe not for work but you got my point 😁)

[@resurrectedwreck]

Stunning!! You can tell when someone really loves what they do. He's an artist!

[@-Bloomingtales]

I do NOT miss getting a relaxer and I’m more of a natural bohemian type of person so natural hair just works better with how I live my life… HOWEVER, black women have been through too much (especially when it comes to their hair) so I definitely say do whatever makes you happy and do what works for YOU. You deserve to live life on your terms and in your own way. ♥️

[@JP-br4mx]

omg shut everything is about how black women deserved this been through so much blah blah. You wanna do something just do that shit. you are not the only minority who have suffered.

[@Ms.NoNo2]

@@JP-br4mx show me where she said that 🤡🤡🤡

[@kaiyu21]

@@JP-br4mx 🙄Your ignorance has no end.

[@-Bloomingtales]

@@JP-br4mx are you ok? Lol there’s this subsection of miserable people on the internet that like to troll comments … I guess you’re one of them. Go reflect love and let that light get in you.

[@JP-br4mx]

@@-Bloomingtales lol I’m fine I’m just tired of people being like I’m a black woman and I deserve luxury and because I’m a black woman I’m gonna find me some white man because black men ain’t shit, I’m a black woman and we’ve been so much so I’m gonna have a perm. If you want to do those things, just do these things instead of using the fact you are a black woman to justify.

[@jenne_afiya]

DID THAT ❤️‍🔥 Also love how knowledgeable and positive this stylist was - I ain’t had this cut in years and now I’m ready to book an appointment 😂

[@ileanasantamaria2364]

Seriously! Where do I find him!? 🤗I'm natural but considering color and he is incredibly skilled and talented!!

[@starzzzy22]

This brings back so many memories of pixie cut styles in the 90s (and allll the upkeep of them). He did a great job.

[@breeg2331]

Very cute he did a good job. I use to have my hair cut like this the only thing that is quick about this is washing it. After you wash it you have to lay it down with wrapping lotion and wrap it. Also you have to style it or it will look crazy. New growth was super noticable so I was going to the salon every two weeks. It takes a lot of effort to keep it looking nice.

[@MrMrsboo]

Exactly! Hair stylists don't tell you this part 😅 they love cutting it and blow drying long hair takes more time for them. This kind of hair cut will have you going back for regular trims which is great for them, more money and less effort. I found it harder to keep short hair looking neat.

[@ladylaurenia]

My mom warned me against this but I’m not listening 😂 I’ll try to get a more low maintenance pixie

[@asiam1528]

Exactly very high maintenance hairstyle

[@herefortheshrimp1469]

I got a “pixie” ish haircut like this before going to boot camp and OH MY GOD it looked so awful 95% of the time since I had absolutely nothing to style it with or even a silk bonnet to protect it! Locs arent for everyone but it is hands down the easiest my hair has ever been to deal with and it’s looks good when I wake up!

[@Noise_floorxx]

@@herefortheshrimp1469 girl my dumb ass got braids before boot camp. I was in the marine corps so the first 5 months was training, training, training. It was stupid but that's what happens when you join a 90% white male branch. They all shave their heads, and i was walking around Parris Island looking a mess after month 2. We barely had time to brush our teeth let alone style black hair. But... whatever....

[@lt7153]

I'm never going back to relaxers but this is fire! I love it 😍

[@ileanasantamaria2364]

Same!!!

[@cynthiaholland13]

Exactly!

[@asiam1528]

Never No creamy crack for me

[@APTTMHYforever]

Just went back after 10 years natural… I was terrible with all of the maintenance and products. Now I literally wash/condition and put in a bun. Easy under an hour “wash day”

[@dianaszaboova8286]

She´s unbelievebly gorgeus !!! This hairstyle is very suitting and also how the hairdresser works with her, i have no words.

[@user-zf3gg4pr6c]

Love how the stylist is so passionate about his job! He's enjoying every bit of it and I want to be just like him in the future when I start my professional career too. Just being able to wake up every day and remember you have an amazing job and then being excited to help others every day just like him is my dream. ♡

[@oohlalaa2390]

Her hair looks phenomenal! 😍 full and healthy, and that cut was just masterful! What a gorgeous girl!

[@LADYLINKA]

I love that they are incorporating more hair content than just regular cuts and colors!

[@kokonana4086]

She looks AMAZING! The hairdresser is such an artist and he also has such a good heart--so caring.

[@KatBlaque]

I keep wanting to relax my hair and then i remember how much work it was to upkeep and i'm truly good on that... but I still wonder lol.

[@TheSweetie223]

Natural hair is definitely harder to maintain especially depending on the texture

[@evolve2existkris]

I love a good pixie cut! This almost makes me want to cut my hair again! 🔥🔥

[@kellym.6777]

He's a true pro! He knows exactly what he's doing her hair looks beautiful omg!! She looks amazing.Taking care of relaxed hair & a pixie cut do requires time though.

[@DeannaMaurice]

Growing up in a salon I can say he is excellent at his craft! Beautiful work.

[@lindabertino5987]

WOW, just WOW. IM IN LOVE with how this turned out on her. She's gorgeous before and after!

[@ashlouw5350]

That stylist energy is so smooth and calming no wonder his work looks so flawless. He really highlighted his client's beauty that was already there😍 Love everything about this❤

[@annieothername]

Ate up with ease & class. Top tier! *chefs kiss

These results are stunning. So sophisticated and such a timeless style :)

[@sososanchez3512]

Ok. All I saw was the cut & I instantly watched.. I love a pixie it's been my style 4 20 plus years.. I absolutely agree with the young woman.easy no fuss & looks Amazing!!!

I'M ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH HER CUT/SHAPE!!😍

[@Locnessmonstah]

This was a fire cut! It fits her face and features so well!

I’m a short haircut woman myself… I love it!!! They’re so easy to maintain and I feel awesome with my short hair…

[@jacobrussell2952]

This is INCREDIBLE!!! So much talent this man had and his client looks AMAZING!!!

[@MrzBadaBing]

She looks gorgeous it looks amazing on her ! He is an amazing hairstylist and super professional love his personality. He just gained quadruple clients from this video alone haha. Love that relaxers are coming back because not everyone has that time to deal with their natural hair . We’re getting too busy !

[@MsJonai]

Relaxers definitely look better on shorter hair especially when it is maintained well, the longer it is, the more you can tell it needs help a lot of times

[@noravhunt]

One of my favorite transformations! And I learned a lot about this type of treatment. She looks beautiful and he is an absolute artist! ❤️

[@lisamessikommer7284]

She looks gorgeous and I adore the hairstylist energy!!!

A talented artist! I was relaxed throughout my adolescence and don't want a relaxer now but I want him to style my hair.👏🏽

[@erinsjourney315]

I have always loved pixie cuts and THIS one suits her perfectly. And how EASY this is for her to maintain!! Growing up I always wanted Farah Fawcet hair but short & pixie suites me much better.

wow he killed this cut and her relaxer. her hair still looks healthy and full

[@Victoriousniki]

Greg is my fav!!! I’m so happy to see this exposure!! Go Greg!

[@Rooted_Locs]

Just want to put it out there that locs are also an option for natural women considering “changing” up their hair. Just putting it out there cause i wish somebody had told me before my relaxing-big chopping-natural-relaxing-big chopping-natural saga

[@eyekandy3000]

Lol - sounds like my journey

[@gillianmcbride2826]

She is so gorgeous and the style turned out amazing! This video was so informative too ♥

[@monicaDD]

I’m happy she enjoys the outcome. The stylist showed great technique and care

[@RB-gt8bf]

Ah been relaxed for years and now natural for past 7 years...and after I learned how to take care of my natural hair it takes me no longer than when I was relaxed. Hard to find competent stylist working the chemicals...one bad trip can destroy your hair...been there x 2 when I had a relaxer....but whatever makes you happy

[@mbuck5044]

Wow she looks terrific! The stylist worked magic!

[@ManeandMindset]

Greg is my FAVOURITE!!! Love to see him do big things !!

[@ericaj6092]

Greg is knowledgeable okay! 😊 I love how he was able to explain every step of his relaxer process - You go boy😍

[@me-pz5yi]

Greg Gilmore is the best!!! His Insta is full of fire 🔥. His coloring, cuts, styles are on a whole different level ❤️😍.

[@balckfox5]

I love it. I was relaxed for years before I went natural. Relaxed or being a loose natural is a lifestyle and takes work to maintain. For the past 5yrs now I have worn dread locs as it is low maintenance which I love.

[@trinityjones6243]

He did a beautiful job!

[@Nolongeruse930]

She looks great! Reminds me of when I had my big chop. I will never forget how amazing I felt when I had my pixie cut a few years ago. It changed me as a person lol.

[@leopoldo4561]

His work, her hair, the cut is beautiful! A pixie cut was my favorite hairstyle when I was relaxed. If I didn't love being able to take a shower without a shower cap, I'd totally consider getting a relaxer again.
