Growing Out A Pixie Cut: 5 Month Update

I have always wanted to do one of these updates, but I was never growing out my pixie cut! I used to read so many blog entries of other girls’ journeys to growing out short pixie cuts, so I’m excited to write my own. This is a five month update of my hair!

November

I still can’t believe how short it once was! It was actually a lot shorter than this, but this is when I actually decided I wanted to grow it out!

I also only trimmed it once so far in the five months to get rid of some of that pixie mullet! I wish I had a magic pill I could tell you made my hair grow, but this was mostly just patience and time! UGH the worst!

December

This was the worst part of growing my pixie. The first couple of months took forever to show any sign of growth. It still looks pretty similar here.

January

Surprise! It still looks pretty similar! Also, this is the first day we adopted Ophie! Such a cutie! So this was taken January 4th. On January 9th, I died my hair and suddenly it started looking longer!

This was taken January 13th and you can definitely see a difference now!

This was also around the time my pixie mullet started, which let me tell you…sucks.

When my hair starts to grow it, it starts to get pretty curly, so I was excited to get a shaggy pixie!

February

Have you ever seen Josie and the Pussycats? Because this haircut was very Josie with my 90s flair.

This was by far my favorite look my hair grew into! I also want to point out that I didn’t use any biotin, hair products, or heat treatment to my hair. I only dyed it twice! Also this smoothie sucked.

You can definitely tell on the side how shaggy it got! Once my ears started getting covered, I know it was getting longer!

March

Yup! I dyed it AND cut my bangs! I fell in love with this haircut, and as it’s been growing it’s still pretty cute! The pink has faded a lot though.

April

Bangs have grown out and my hair has gotten curlier!

This is the most recent photo of my hair length and would equal a little bit over the 5 month mark since the November photo! Here is a side-by-side photo of my hair update:

I’m really excited to see how much longer it will grow in the next five months! Where do you think it will be? Shoulder length? Past the shoulders?! Let me know in the comments!
