I’m on month 10, I promise it really does pass. The first 3-4 months was the worst I was extremely impatient but it did pass. My hair is about 4 1/2 inches all the way around now and I’m so happy with it. The biggest thing is, it grows the fastest when you forget it’s growing. Idk if that makes sense but the best way I can explain it is: when you forget it’s growing, the realization that it’s grown is so much more relieving and exciting. I loved seeing the progress and I still get excited seeing it’s growing longer. Again, the first few months are the worst but once those are past it gets so much easier. Styling some days can be a nightmare and being patient sucks balls but the lengthy process is worth it. For anyone growing out a buzz this is your reminder that you got this ❤. Don’t dwell on it too much, your hair grows at it’s own pace. Don’t rush it and it will show you the progress you want. Don’t worry too much about it because believe it or not: Not everyone is staring at your head! (I had to wrap my head around that one lol) On a real note though, you got this, believe in yourself and you start to see changes that you want to see 💕
@@notmina_ it will definitely pass 🤍 be kind to yourself on those days! luckily i have no regrets, it’s been such a powerful experience. just wishing time would go by a little quicker 😅
Thanks for this video. I got really sick 4 months ago from a virus. Was hospitalized for 2 weeks. Two months later, my hair started shedding in clumps. My hair went from long and beautiful to looking like the crypt keeper from Tales from the Crypt. I lost 70% of my hair. Had to start wearing a wig and 2 days ago I finally buzz cut my hair. The hair loss is temporary and I'm seeing some regrowth but I know the grow out will be tough but seeing your cute ideas made me feel less anxious.
I shaved my hair last time 13 months ago (avatar photo) and also bleached it. My hair journey have been caotic the last ten years - shaving, growing, cutting, coloring, cutting again. I used to translate all my anxiety and problems into hair changes. Then I decided to stop this madness and grow out my hair for (at least) 1 year without changing it. Talked a lot in therapy about this, and learned a lot from this process too. Next month I'll get a real haircut for the first time in this period. Love your video!
Awe I totally understand that. I am the same way. Whenever I'm going through something I get super tempted to mess with my hair. It's so hard not to. We've got this though 💖
My hair mirrors my anxiety, and seeing your comment I'm just realizing how much it matches. I've noticed themes of starting-over in the past ten years (some stuff happened 10 yrs ago that suddenly shattered some illusions I had). The short haircut represented not needing much (not needing much shampoo, or time in the shower, or energy to style it) and not needing much made me feel less anxious about the future.
just shaved my head not even two days ago and i’m already feeling so much better mentally and physically. I have tugged and pulled out hair since i was really young due to my severe anxiety. i also struggle w depression- especially the past few months- and i haven’t been able to take care of my hair - getting severe knotting and having to tear out large chunks of hair due to large matts that had formed. i’m 18 now and haven’t had my healthy natural hair since i was 12/13 which was also a big reason for me wanting to do this. i miss having healthy hair and not having it super visible that i’m struggling to take care of myself. even since i’ve shaved it i’ve tried tugging but it’s so much harder to do which makes it so much easier to realize and stop myself. a lot of videos i’ve seen of yearly progress don’t have the hair style i want and this is the exact one i’ve been looking for. i am so excited for all my hair to have the same length once it gets as long as this in the next year. i don’t usually make comments but i want to update this comment as a thread every month to track my personal progress- especially getting to see my natural hair color for the first time in nearly 6 years.
it’s been over a month and my hair is THRIVING!! this is the best i’ve felt w my hair bc i haven’t been able to properly care for it bc of its damage over 6 years. my hair has never felt or looked this healthy so if you have severe damage i def recommend shaving your head :) it’s so amazing to be able to touch the hair on my head and it feel soft and healthy
I loved my shaved head & I enjoyed every stage of the growing out process because it's so much fun! And the fact that your look changes every 2 months makes it even more exciting 🥰 I have cut my hair into a pixie, and grown it long to mid-back length like 4 times Already! 😆 Currently my hair is past my bra strap and I'm thinking of cutting it again lmfao
I absolutely love how your hair looks right now. In my little opinion, It fits your facial features very well. And I think your natural hair color is really pretty against your skin and eye color. But I also love the fun pop of highlights/color around your face. So so pretty Fern. It’s the perfect combo of fun and natural and confident, just like you 🥰
Super thankful that I found this video. This is my second time shaving my head and I’m only coming into month 2 of the grow out process. I’m getting restless and just wanting my hair to be longer 😅 Seeing you’re little tricks and styles is giving me hope for when I get there
I’ve shaved my head four times now. The first time was the hardest but each time I cut it I find new ways to style it in the growth process. Now im on my fourth time and it’s so fun to just mess around with it as it grows
I’m on month 7 and the shag definitely makes it hard to style. 😭 I’m glad I stumbled upon your video because you have some very cute styles to try. Thank you Fern! ❤️
Thank you for making this video, it was super helpful for me! I've been shaving my head for the past year and a half now but finally starting to grow it out!
I am currently in mullet mode, 5 months since growing out my shaved head and haven't really been feeling great about it but this gave me tons of ideas and lots to look forward to!
Thank you so much for this video series! I’m just starting my 5th month in my grow out and I don’t like it at all. Your videos on your grow out experience are always so uplifting, they really help me stay positive on the tough days in my hair growth journey. ❤️❤️
I wore bangs for years. Cut them myself using a little pair of scissors. I point. Them up and snip into the bangs holding them up and down. It made the bangs look a little wispier and not such a sold row across my face. You can also adjust the callic in your bangs. Make them look a lot neater and even. Cut it dry so you can see exactly what it looks like
I’m a wild Fern watcher, from way back 😄 I feel like your hair grow out totally coincides with your growth as a person. You’ve been so intentional the last year, and it’s really awesome to see. You’re always beautiful, in every stage. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ☺️
😢 Im growing my hair from a pixie cut and your hair is definitely growing faster than mine !!! I can’t believe you grew a full head of hair in one year :ooo I cut mine at the very end of may and it’s still like your month 6! A little shorter. I hope by my year anniversary it’ll be like your month 10. The struggle is real over here !!! I’m sooooooooo over it
Finallllyyyyy! I've had a shaved Head for 4 years, nearly 5... I love the buzzcut style and would happily keep it. But I've had bouts of really wanted to grow my hair out and my hair is so thick I've really struggled with the ugly hair do ha. I've grown it and been to barbers to cut the back and sides with a view to grow the top out first but I can't be arsed with the cost and the time and the upkeep. I'm the same as you I wanna grow it naturally as I've always had bleached hair. But these videos have given me the boost and tips to just let it be, sure I'm gonna look odd, but nice to see that your hair was looking good for most of your updates! Thanks!
Excited to see this as I have been watching your progress since I buzzed my hair last July. I have had it cut a couple of times so I’m only on maybe 4/5 months of growth and feeling the pain of it being blah. Need to try some of your styles like the mini pony’s and shrek ears just hope I can pull them off at 38! I 100% copied your little bleached bang idea as I have the same hair colour as you and love it! I haven’t dyed my hair in years so was exciting. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank you so much for watching! You're in the thick of things, it will get better soon! And of course you can pull them off, 38 is young :) Good luck on the rest of your grow out x
You are so Beautiful 😍, I shaved my head a month and a half ago now I'm getting the baby bangs. Thank you so much for sharing, I love your ideas. I love your hair the way you have it. Plus the barrettes in the middle was cute too. 💜💜
I just recently shaved my head of dyed black hair of 3 years + colored roots of almost every color lol. ( bleached it too ) my natural hair is dirty blonde & curly so I was just ready to get my natural hair back & not do anything to it. some times I love & sometimes I hate the buzz cut & wish it’ll be long again in a snap of a finger but watching this vid helped me so much & my confidence. definitely inspired me what do with it when it’s long enough to style. especially since mine will be curly. I love the bandana looks & the half up looks.. so freaking cute ! thank you for sharing this video 💚 really needed it ! :)
Hi Fern! Loved this video, and I've had so much fun following along with your journey. Also, you look so much like Mia Farrow in the ice bath pic! Gorgeous! ❤❤
i’m really considering shaving my head. mainly because my hair is so damaged beyond repair and i think it’s my only hope. plus all these stories i’ve been hearing are so much more than just shaving your head
im in month 4 from a 1 guard shave and its soo unruly but i would definitely do it again! i recommend this to anyone that wants to try it, do it while ur young ong because as u get older ur hair starts to grow slower!
Our hair grows about the same rate and I’m at month 5 from shaving completely bald with a razor, so this makes me so fucking excited! I’ve been shaving my head for 4 years and decided I wanted hair again, surprisingly I have loved my hair at every stage but I’m not where I kinda need to start styling it so seeing how you’ve done it is super encouraging. Thank you for this ❤️
@@cozyplantlady11I'm approaching month 6 Lol having an afro means U only see proper growth progress when U damp with conditioner and stretch it. Excited for my Jackson 5 'fro
Your hair growth has been amazing!! I've been shaving my head for the past few years, and every time I try to grow it out I just realize I like my hair/head better shaved. Maybe one day I can actually commit to growing it back out lol
Same 😅. I’ll grow it out for 4-6 months and then one day buzz it and the next day I’ll be like what was I thanking then on other days I love it. Currently on month 3 of growing it out 😅😅
I feel you. I got my head to a shorty pixy two years ago and everytime I wanted to let it grow up - i think always 3-4 months not going to a hairdresser, I went back to short. I feel so liberated everytime it is short, like some weight leaves my mind and I just want short always. However, I miss my long too!
I shaved my head fresh for january 2023 (i already had a year long experience with the pixie and self trims so tried a lot of styles and lengths) and i really wanna do it for January 2024!! BUT... i just chopped off my mullet so i have a short bob but still need to grow it out to balance it. your bangs are so cute it makes me want to cut mine 🥲 I loved month 1-3, months 4-8 wore a lot of hats and bandannas but i would do that anyway. On month 11 now and im enjoying the bob, might do bangs 👀 or ill say screw it and shave it again. I can't be the only one who feels like their hair grew too fast, I miss having a buzz cut so much but I love a shaggy bob. ugh i cant decide but thanks for this relatable video ❤ ill check in in a few months if i buzzed it off lol. to anyone wanting to do it, DO IT 💕
Enjoyed this video! You look so good with a buzz cut. I wish I could shave my head...but it would not work for my head 😆. You are a natural beauty Fern, inside and out!
I literally found your account yesterday and I got so engaged with your hairgrowth updates than I thought when were you gonna upload the 1 year update and you dropped it today 🤩🤩 awesome video!!
I've so enjoyed watching your hair grow out the past year, and have adored your creative hair styles throughout the process too. I've noticed that one side of my hair grows MUCH thicker and faster than the other. I think its just part of not being symmetrical beings lol
I first shaved my head about 17 years ago. I have kept my hair short for the same amount of time. (BTW, I loved it shaved!) I kept it short because I had an old jeep ( my dream car) and it wasn't good to my hair. I sold the Jeep last September, and I haven't cut my hair since. Ots been a journey. I played with some dreadlock extensions (braid in, hair protecting) to help with the impatience and boredom of in betweens
Cut my hair into a pixie; whenever I get impatient about the growth I look at videos of people growing their hair out. Idk why it helps, but it does. I’m for sure keeping my bangs because I prefer my face with bangs and I just love cutting my hair. Ok ok ok, I subbed, found a new RU-vid channel to hyper fixate on
You have rocked each and every phase of the grow out!! And I loovveee the pink!! I have recently also added pink to my hair. It’s called pink wash… so it’s a pink shampoo soooo it’s not technically dying ur hair 😝😝
I started to watch your plantie videos and then saw one of your old vlogs. I love watching these videos and your hair journey was so much fun to watch too 😍 I love your hair right now the most (besides the fresh buzz cut - which was lit🔥) I think the light pink suits you really well. Even better than the bright pink💓 It makes me think about colouring my own hair light pink. Right now I have the under half from my hair bleached blond. Please excuse me, if there are any mistakes in my text. I'm from Germany 🥰 Much love from me and my planties ✨🌱
This is going to sound wild lol but I shaved my head back in august with a 1 guard so it was pretty short but I'm somehow not 1 month behind like you said I would be! I think I'm just lucky or doing something right! my growth is 3 months as of today and my hair is actually a teeny bit longer than your first 3 month progress pic! That makes me so excited cause now I finally know what my hair will look like length wise in a year, and obviously throughout before I hit the one year mark!!!
This was a big help, I had gotten my head shaven for brain surgery this past August. And I been curious how long would it take to grow or if it will grow. The thickness is back lol. But the length is taking its time big time
I just shaved my hair with a 4 guard!! This year its all about growing and changing I've wanted to shave my hair for awhile now, but now I did its a bit awkward at first im not used to such short hair, but I'm excitingly waiting for healthy virgin hair!❤❤
I love your video and so funny, I always wear a heat for the winter, after showering, and sometimes over night, I get beautiful waves in it especially when the pixy cut is a bit more grown out.
Interesting video 😊 thanks for sharing ! I’ve been thinking this might be easier to shave my head , and let my grays come in naturally. Instead of trying to manipulate the blend 😅 I’m pushing 60 😢
Thanks for sharing this and thanks so much for the tips, especially the one about wearing a toque after washing your hair to keep it flat. I have coarse hair as well (and lots of it, when it's long), so I am concerned about how much "sticky-out" I will have, lol. I shaved my hair down to a 3mm when my Mom had to buzz hers off in preparation for chemo treatments nearly a year ago. I have maintained a length between 3mm and 5mm. Now, even though she's still on mild chemotherapy (she is post-surgery and radiation), her hair is twice as long as mine is :) So, it's time to grow mine out, too :) Thanks and take care, eh? Haha
Thank you for this. I currently have a wide-ish mohawk with #4 buzz on the sides. I've been wanting to grow it out but I've also wanted to buzz my whole head for a really long time. I've been debating whether it'd be better to buzz then grow for the uniformity vs just growing out from where I'm at now. My mohawk is currently 6-8 inches long.
You mentioned the one side you sleep on feels thinner. Regular pillow cases are very damaging to your hair. Try getting a silk cap or silk pillow case. Silk caps/pillow cases are for everyone and it's an easy low maintenance change to improve the health of your hair
I messed my hair up and I had donated all of it. I was completely bald but then right when I hit a Bob cut instead of going to get a professionally trimmed. I tried to do it completely screwed it up, ended up shaving it again without going bald this time. It's a very much longer buzzcut and I've been investing in. Waves got rid of my trimmers. Obviously, LOL and I'm letting my hair grow with wigs on.
I love your hair growth and faces without getting it cut because that's what I'm doing this time around. I busted a second time just because I thought I messed it up trying to cut it at home this time. First time it was donating it. And intentional period this time. I'm not cutting it at all because I wanted to grow back Without any cuts cause at this point, there's not really any reason to cut it. And I'm glad now I know what I'll be dealing with. But at those phases. What I did was I put gel on? But now I have wigged so I have no reason to have any damage.
Month 7 and I am so over it at this point haha. I am having trouble styling it and I just want a bob already. But this was encouraging to see and gave me some ideas for how to style it, thanks!
I been growing my hair out for almost a year now I started with an inch of hair in the beginning. My hair is the same length as yours now. I did the half ponytail it looks good, but once my hair is past my shoulders I can do better ponytails.
omggg, im in like the august/sept length that your were in, and this video has made my impatience calm down so much hahahhaha im so glad ive only got like 1-2 more months before it looks more like a bob and less like just a fucking mess lmao
I’m watching this because I stress cut off half of my hair (to my chin from boob length) and an undercut and I realize that both were a mistake. I’m doing a lot of growth methods and I’m trying to keep low heat / mostly virgin hair - I did bleach and dye in purple money pieces and eventually I will dye the bottom half of my hair like I used to have and kind of became my look. Once my undercut gets to about shoulder length I’m probably cutting it all that short and then I’m going to try and grow my hair to waist length, if not butt length.
You made me laugh, when I saw your video. Im 65 and have shaved my head 3 times to get my natural white hair, after ive dyed it. I think ive made up my mind to stay white? Lol. Your hair looks good shaved, and longer!😂
You guysss, I have had short hair and mullets for years now and every time I want to grow it out (I lke the short hair, but just... also curious about having it longer again!) I get impatient when I don't like it, and cut it off again
I think I'm going to shave my head again today :( I've been struggling with health issues for the last 3 years due to toxic mould exposure. My hair has been falling out since and is so dry and brittle. It sticks to itself like velcro. I think it's time to give up and let it go :(
Yay thanks for this video. My hair hrows super slowly and im feeling reallt frustrated and not myself. I cut it short to about your month 4 length 6 months ago and its still around your month 6 ... I used to have shoulder length hair with baby bangs . Love and miss the bangs soo much. Thinking of trying to add them back into short hair. I rarely wash my hair , just kind of push it back after i swim in the sea and it sticks 😁 not keen on the washed feel or look. Any tips??
I’ve been constantly shaving my head n I could never pass the ‘short bob’ EVER! Until this year I’ve made it a plan to grow out my hair WITH NATURAL HAIR COLOR! It’s killing me n I did shave the underneath of my head…gotta have it lol
I'm a woman in my 20s, I shaved my head because I wanted fresh healthy hair. The barber had the trimmer on size 0. But would it have been better if they used a razor in order to get better growth?
