Pro Tips for Using the Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Iron
- Keep Your Pixie Heat Charged: As the saying goes, “When you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.” Keep your Pixie Heat on the charger whenever it’s not in use, so it’s always powered up and ready when you need it.
- Double Up for Maximum Efficiency: For short-hair stylists, the freedom of a cordless iron is a game-changer. Having two Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Irons in your kit ensures you can work at a top speed, whether you’re curling, styling, or making quick touch-ups. If you’re often on set or doing back-to-back clients, a second unit saves time and keeps you fully prepared.
- Protect the Hair: Like any hot tool, using a heat protectant is essential for maintaining hair health. We highly recommend Pixie Heat Shine & Scalp Oil to keep hair nourished, protected, and looking flawless.
- Experiment & Get Creative: The versatility of the Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Iron let you create a variety of styles—waves, curls, sleek finishes, and edgy textures. Don’t be afraid to push the limits and experiment. You hold the creative power in your hands!
The Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Iron currently retails for $99 and is available for purchase on the Pixie Heat website. For all things Pixie Heat, be sure to follow @pixieheat on Instagram.
