I'm in my 6th week of my pixie grow out and I wanted to document the process so far. I've seen a lot of progress pictures but they tend to be the later stages, not the awkward phases. So here I am, to walk you through tips and tricks to making this process slightly less awkward. It's going to be a learning curve... Join me won't you?
Here is my pixie fresh after my salon trip:
Notice the angled, sharp bangs.
And here is after a few weeks (maybe like 4 weeks post haircut):
We are venturing into bowl-cut territory and honestly, I wasn't feeling the best about how it was looking.
I don't have a good picture of the mini mullet... If it makes a reappearance, I'll be sure to snap a picture. I think the real key with this process is shaping and trimming the back. Also accessories, as you'll see below.
Here is my hair today after a sweet $5 trim (note the little clippity do-dah):
And the back:
I'm feeling sooooo much happier with just the little bit blended and trimmed. I'm tellin' ya, best $5 I spent this week :)
Again a recap of tips to navigate this in-between stage:
- Keep up with regular trims
- Shape and taper as needed
- Accessories are your best friend, experiment and make your own!
- Be patient! I'm telling myself to enjoy the process and play with new styles. Don't stress out about the lack of progress, you'll get there!
- If it makes you feel more productive, go ahead and take those vitamins and biotin. I'm not but you sure can!
Let me know your hair growth tips!
Look forward to more updates! I'll be back soon!
