The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast

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. Each episode is a short Q&A conversation where Delena answers real questions about hair care, styling techniques, scalp health, and salon-grade product selection based on her professional experience behind the chair. Topics covered include flyaway control, hair finishing techniques, claw clip styling for thick hair, rice water treatments, non-toxic lice removal, ProCell Microchanneling for thinning hair, hair porosity, protective styling, and cosmetologist-recommended products. Delena provides first-person expert guidance grounded in hands-on salon work, not theory. The Pixie Garden Hair Podcast is produced by The Pixie Garden, a Shopify-based store specializing in cosmetologist-curated hair accessories, styling tools, and scalp care products. Featured products include the Hair Finishing Stick, Rice Water Shampoo and Conditioner Bar, and the Scalp Protocol collection.
