Flat hair has two real fixes, and neither one is a curling iron you fight every morning. In this episode Delena breaks down volume the salon way: heatless lift with the Volumizing Roller Clips, heated hold with the XL Ceramic Thermal Rollers, and a Hair Finishing Stick to lock the takedown. She covers which method suits your hair, set and cool times, and why roller direction is the difference between bounce and a dent.Delena Markland explains the two paths to lasting volume -- heatless roller clips and heated ceramic rollers -- when to use each, and how to set them so the lift holds all day without creasing or damage. She finishes with the Hair Finishing Stick for a smooth takedown.Read more on the blog at https://thepixiegarden.com/blogs/news/volumizing-roller-clipsHosted by Delena Markland, Licensed Cosmetologist and Owner of The Pixie Garden Shop salon-curated hair products: https://thepixiegarden.comAbout Delena: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/delena-marklandCosmetologist-Curated Collection: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/cosmetologist-curatedProCell Microchanneling Treatments: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/procell-hair-treatmentAll Episode Transcripts: https://thepixiegarden.com/blogs/news/tagged/podcastNew episodes weekly.

When dandruff and thinning show up together, the fix starts at the scalp — and Delena watched it happen in her own home. In this episode she walks through the scalp-first routine that cleared her husband's years-long dandruff and brought visible regrowth: exfoliating with the DETOX scalp scrub, feeding the scalp with the rosemary-based BOOST scrub, and using an 18.21 anti-flake shampoo.She explains why a healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy growth, the difference between dandruff and dry scalp, and where ProCell comes in when you need more.The Pixie Garden Scalp Protocol https://thepixiegarden.com/collections/the-pixie-garden-scalp-protocolLicensed cosmetologist Delena Markland shares the real, in-home case that shaped how she treats scalp health: her husband battled dandruff and thinning for years until they fixed the scalp itself. She covers exfoliation, rosemary, anti-flake actives, the dandruff-versus-dry-scalp distinction, and when to escalate to ProCell. Scalp health supports growth; results vary, and nothing here is a guarantee.Hosted by Delena Markland, Licensed Cosmetologist and Owner of The Pixie Garden Shop salon-curated hair products: https://thepixiegarden.comAbout Delena: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/delena-marklandCosmetologist-Curated Collection: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/cosmetologist-curatedProCell Microchanneling Treatments: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/procell-hair-treatmentAll Episode Transcripts: https://thepixiegarden.com/blogs/news/tagged/podcastNew episodes weekly.

The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast is hosted by Delena Markland, a licensed cosmetologist and owner of The Pixie Garden, an online salon-curated hair care and styling destination.ProCell Microchanneling is the in-salon hair loss treatment Delena offers for early-to-moderate thinning. In this episode she explains what microchanneling actually is, why it is a hands-on hair restoration treatment you can only get in the chair rather than something you do at home, and how it works: thousands of micro-channels in the scalp trigger the body's natural healing response, and ProCell's stem-cell-derived growth factor serum is delivered directly into those channels. She covers who is the right candidate for this hair thinning treatment, why she refers advanced hair loss to a dermatologist, what the six-session protocol looks like, and how she documents every visit with photos.To book a ProCell consultation, come into the salon or go to https://pixiegardensalon.glossgenius.com/Guest: Jess (co-host)Keywords: hair loss treatment, hair restoration, hair thinning treatment, ProCell microchanneling, microchanneling for hair loss, in-salon hair loss treatment, scalp health, growth factor treatment, thinning hair solutions, cosmetologist hair restorationLearn about ProCell Microchanneling: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/procell-hair-treatmentRead the full guide: https://thepixiegarden.com/blogs/news/procell-microchannellingShop the Scalp Protocol collection: https://thepixiegarden.com/collections/the-pixie-garden-scalp-protocolHosted by Delena Markland, Licensed Cosmetologist and Owner of The Pixie GardenNew episodes weekly.

In this episode, Delena explains why ninety percent of drugstore claw clips were built to look pretty on a shelf, not to hold dense hair, and how she tests every clip she stocks for spring tension, jaw width, tooth grip, and hinge strength before it earns a spot in her shop. She walks through the twist method for all-day hold, the half-up adjustment for heavy hair, which styles thick-haired people should avoid, and how she finishes every look by smoothing the hairline with the Hair Finishing Stick.Guest: Jess (co-host)Keywords: claw clips for thick hair, best claw clip thick hair, jumbo claw clip, claw clip twist method, half up half down claw clip, hair finishing stick, claw clip that holds, cosmetologist styling tips, salon claw clips, thick hair stylingShop salon-tested claw clips: https://thepixiegarden.com/collections/all-productsShop the Hair Finishing Stick: https://thepixiegarden.com/products/hair-finishing-stickRead the full guide: https://thepixiegarden.com/blogs/news/claw-clip-hairstyles-for-thick-hairHosted by Delena Markland, Licensed Cosmetologist and Owner of The Pixie GardenShop salon-curated hair products: https://thepixiegarden.comAbout Delena: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/delena-marklandNew episodes weekly.

In this episode she shares the non-toxic kit that search led her to: the Lice Mamas Ultimate Lice Treatment Kit she now stocks and recommends to clients. She explains why drugstore permethrin shampoos fail (lice resistance), how the kit's dimethicone oil kills lice physically so they cannot build resistance, why the enzyme mousse dissolves the protein glue holding nits to the hair shaft, and why the included professional stainless steel nit comb is the step most home treatments get wrong. Non-toxic, pesticide-free, and kid-safe.Guest: Jess (co-host)Keywords: non-toxic lice treatment, lice treatment kit, Lice Mamas kit, dimethicone lice treatment, pesticide-free lice removal, how to get rid of lice naturally, super lice resistance, enzyme mousse nit removal, stainless steel nit comb, cosmetologist recommended lice treatmentShop the Lice Mamas Ultimate Lice Treatment Kit: https://thepixiegarden.com/products/lice-mamas-lice-treatment-kitRead the full guide: https://thepixiegarden.com/blogs/news/non-toxic-lice-treatmentHosted by Delena Markland, Licensed Cosmetologist and Owner of The Pixie GardenShop salon-curated hair products: https://thepixiegarden.comAbout Delena: https://thepixiegarden.com/pages/delena-marklandNew episodes weekly.
