Jennifer Hudson Black Pixie Haircut with Side Swept Bangs


Added: 29 Aug 2017
The back and sides of this jet black 'do are tapered into the head leaving the edges wispy to achieve a textured finish. The top is left slightly longer and smoothed down to contour the head with the jagged cut bangs worn down to frame the top of the face for a fab' finish to the over-all style. Only a small amount of product is needed for shine and hold.

Jennifer Hudson is looking elegant here in a short and sweet hairstyle. It is flattering to her features as the slightly curved fringe helps to balance the width of her face and the asymmetrical styling helps to keep a focus on her best feature -her bright, expressive eyes. Jennifer's expressive facial features are complimented by this short’ do and her wispy side-swept bangs focus the attention on her beautiful eyes. The end result is a feminine, modern and sophisticated look with some added lift at the roots and crown.

Jennifer has natural black hair with dark brown eyes and a medium-dark complexion. Here, she goes for a glossy black hair color all over for a striking look. This gives her an overall gorgeous chic looks that flatters her skin tone and brings out her eyes while creating dimension and interest to her cut. No highlights are needed here, as pixie cuts look best in one rich color.

Jennifer Kate Hudson is an American singer, actress and spokesperson. She rose to fame in 2004 as a finalist on the third season of American Idol, coming in seventh place.

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


step 2

Use your blow-dryer and your fingers to dry the back of your hair by moving your hair around to allow the heat to pass through it.


step 3

A small radial brush is used on shorter hair types to add more body or in longer hair types to create curl. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 4

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 5

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


step 6

Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.


step 7

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 8

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips, then place it at the roots above your ear and drag it through as you pull your hair behind your ear.


step 9

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
