    Clarifying Shampoo: What It Does and How Often to Use It | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 09
    2026/06/29
    What a clarifying shampoo actually does, how it differs from your everyday wash, how often to use one without stripping your hair, and how to tell product buildup from a flaky scalp. Listen for tips from licensed cosmetologist Delena Markland. Shop the DETOX Scalp Scrub and Shampoo at thepixiegarden.com.

    If your hair feels heavy, dull, or stops responding to your products no matter how much you use, the problem is usually buildup -- and the fix is a clarifying wash, not more product. In this episode Delena explains what a clarifying shampoo actually does, how it differs from your everyday wash, how often to use one without stripping your hair, and why she reaches for the DETOX Scalp Scrub and Shampoo to reset the scalp at the follicle.

    Licensed cosmetologist Delena Markland breaks down clarifying shampoo: what buildup is and where it comes from, how clarifying differs from daily washing, how often to clarify without over-stripping, and the difference between product buildup and a flaky scalp. She uses the DETOX Scalp Scrub and Shampoo as her reset.

    Flyaways and Edges That Stay Down: Why Alcohol-Free Wins | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 08
    2026/06/25
    Why your flyaways and edges flake white by noon -- and the alcohol-free fix that keeps the whole hairline smooth all day without residue or breakage. Listen for tips from licensed cosmetologist Delena Markland. Shop the alcohol-free Hair Finishing Stick at thepixiegarden.com.

    If your flyaways look smooth in the morning and your edges flake white by noon, the product is the problem, not your technique. In this episode Delena explains why traditional gels and their drying alcohols crack and flake on both flyaways and baby hairs, and why she reaches for the alcohol-free Hair Finishing Stick to keep the whole hairline smooth and laid all day without the white residue.

    Licensed cosmetologist Delena Markland breaks down flyaway and edge control: why alcohol-set gels flake, how a water-based alcohol-free formula holds without white residue or breakage, and the wand-and-comb technique for a surface that stays smooth from flyaways at the crown to baby hairs at the temple

  • Heatless and Heated: Rollers for All-Day Volume | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 07

    Heatless and Heated: Rollers for All-Day Volume | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 07
    2026/06/23
    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.

  • The Scalp-First Fix for Dandruff and Thinning Hair | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 06

    The Scalp-First Fix for Dandruff and Thinning Hair | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 06
    2026/06/19
    When dandruff and thinning show up together, the fix starts at the scalp — and Delena watched it happen in her own home. I

    n 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-protocol

    Licensed 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.

  • ProCell Microchanneling: In-Salon Hair Loss Treatment | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 05

    ProCell Microchanneling: In-Salon Hair Loss Treatment | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 05
    2026/06/15
    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.

    Claw Clip Styles That Actually Hold Thick Hair | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 04
    2026/06/12
    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.


    If you have thick hair and every claw clip you buy launches itself across the room within ten minutes, the problem almost certainly is not your technique. 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.

    Getting Rid of Lice Without Harsh Chemicals | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 03
    2026/06/09
    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.


    When the school called and all of Delena's kids had lice at once, her first instinct was to shave it all off -- until she saw the terror on their faces and went looking for a real treatment instead. 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.

    How to Slick Back Hair and Control Frizz All Day | The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast Ep. 02
    2026/06/05
    The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast is hosted by Delena Markland, a licensed cosmetologist and owner of The Pixie Garden (https://thepixiegarden.com), an online salon-curated hair care and styling destination.

    In this episode, Delena explains why most slick-back styles fall apart by noon -- and why the answer starts before the product even touches your hair. She breaks down why gel creates a brittle shell that flakes by mid-afternoon, why damp hair is the non-negotiable foundation for all-day hold, and how the four ingredients in her cosmetologist-formulated, alcohol-free Hair Finishing Stick -- each do a specific job that synthetic gel polymers cannot. She also covers precision edge control and how to refresh the style at midday without starting over.
