Hair is fun because it can change so easily. You can cut it off, die it, curl it, and style it however you please. We love hair for that reason, unlike many things in life it is easy to change and control. That is, until you do what can’t be undone so easily.
A few months ago, we posted a blog about going for the bold ‘do. While we still feel like you should have fun with your hair and think of it as something you can easily change back, there is one style that is hard to come back from, and this is the pixie cut.
If you read our blog and decided to chop all of your hair off so you could achieve the trendy, cute, and girly pixie cut, we are proud of you. But if you are ready for your long locks again, you may have realized that the growing out process is tough.
At The Hair Company, we know the struggle is real when trying to rid yourself of the pixie cut, that is why we are going to give you tips to growing out your hair a flawlessly. Read on for tips and remember, it will grow back eventually.
Know What to Expect
First of all, you should know what to expect. There will be periods of awkward hair lengths, bowl cut lookalikes, and days you wish you didn’t have to go in public. But with these tips, you can make this long transition slightly less painful.
Keep it Short
Yes, that seems counterintuitive, but keeping the back short while you work on growing the front and top out can help keep it looking more tame and less like a mullet. Keep the hairline around your neck short and clean until your hair reaches that point and then let it all grow out together. This will allow you to get the look of a cute bob rather than the mullet we mentioned before.
Add Accessories
Hair accessories are your best friend when you are growing out your pixie cut. Jazz up your hair barrettes, headbands, scarves, bandanas, hats, and anything else you can find! Have fun with your hair, try different styles, and be sure to accessorize. Just because your hair is short doesn’t mean you can’t style in a variety of ways! Embrace the different lengths of your hair as you grow it out and try new styles at every length!
Use Products
Try to only use healthy products in your hair. If you want long and healthy hair, you need to keep it healthy while it is short. But styling products can also help you create different looks and make your hair look better during awkward transitions. Sleek it back, spike it up, try braids, and use different products to keep your hair stylish.
Be Patient
Another important thing to remember while growing your hair out is to be patient. This is going to be a long process, especially if your end goal is longer than shoulder length. Either way, you need to wait it out and have fun with the different lengths. This process could take months in not longer, so don’t get discouraged.
At The Hair Company, we are all for the dramatic and bold hairdos, but we also know that coming back from some can take a long time. These tips hopefully helped you get a better idea of how to grow out your pixie cut. Contact us if you need to get those neck hairs lined up during this process!
