How To Grow Out A Pixie Cut // fast & bearable 

I'm growing my pixie too, so glad to find people that are suffering the same pain as me 😅

I like my pixie cut, but I also like growing it out through various stages so I can wear different styles. Since you seem to hate yours, can I offer you some tips on doing it gracefully? 1) Experiment a lot. As your hair keeps growing, different styles will become available. Don't forget to try styling wet vs. dry and dirty vs. freshly washed. 2) Style it up and back, into a kind of pompadour. It's a classic style that works for a lot of lengths. As it really gets long, you can use bobby pins to hold in in place. 3) You can actually do braids WAY sooner than you think. You could braid yours now. Instead of a three-strand french braid, you can do a two-strand thing. Just pick up new strands from your scalp as the first ones get too short. I usually do these braids along the sides of my head or along my face instead of straight back. If they won't stay, try spritzing some hairspray before you braid and/or braid while wet. Then secure with bobby pins. 4) BOBBY PINS. Seriously. They open up a lot of options. 5) Usually, the worst part of growing out a pixie is when the layers get too long and start...poofing? And your head looks like a mushroom? But you don't have to deal with that. You can actually go in and thin out your hair without taking off length from the bottom. If your hair is thick, your stylist probably does it as a matter of course. There are special scissors and razors that made for it. I do this myself, but your hairstylist can do it for you. Some people recommend scarves, hats, hairbands, etc., but I think they look stupid on me. I had much better luck working with my hair instead of hating it. Good luck?

Currently growing out my pixie. It does NOT have to suck if you can accept that you have to continue to cut your hair until your top layer reaches the nape of your neck. If you can accept that you're going to have to continue to cut length off the bottom, your pixie will continue to look good throughout the whole process.

If you have acne prone skin, be careful with biotin! I’m growing out my pixie cut (7 months in) and took biotin for about 3 months and my acne got reallyyyyy bad. It didn’t really make my hair grow any quicker but it did make my skin 10x worse than it was. I stopped taking it and my skin cleared up a lot, I still have moderate acne but it’s better than it was :) Just letting people know because I didn’t know biotin can affect your skin in a bad way ❤️

Hey dear I grew mine out a year and a half, almost a bob. Back to pixie for Summer. Take care...xoxo

It is really hard growing out a pixie cut. I grew it for a year and it got to my shoulder. 11 months in I cut off three inches and then I went back to a pixie cut. I got so tired of taking care of it. It’s so thick so it took forever to dry and then I had to straighten it because it would flip up. I love how light it is. I can let it air dry and it dries so quickly. Growing out a pixie really does test your patience. I did biotin and my hair grew pretty quickly. I get so many compliments and people tell me I look better with short hair. I’m sure I’ll try again one day but for now I like it short.

i’m on month two and i want to give up but i won’t because i’m really set on having long hair but damn i look bad right now 😂

A tip for people who have a kinda long pixie and are starting to have a mullet but can't get it cut: Pull your hair into a half-up ponytail. Usually, you'll end up with bangs and what looks like a bob. I've been doing this every day for a while and I'm starting to dig it.

I made a Pinterest board of pixie grow out styles for inspo then I kept updating the boards whilst my hair grew. It really helped and now I have a long bob 18 months later 👊🏼

I grew mine out for ten months before I got a pixie again and my tip is to put the top in tow little pigtails and it will look cute(also bobby pins will save your life)

hmm, i have short hair myself, but i cant help but wonder why are we expected to grow out our hair at some point while men don't? and why are we /still/ succumbing to that? I'm not criticizing Rylee, I'm just thinking out loud.

Wow, you’re so beautiful! Absolutely love your earrings and the eyeshadow look!

It’s not a pixie, it’s just THERE! I so feel that right now. I’m still avoiding style shops, because of the virus, but mostly in the worry that they may overcut and I just want enough cutting so it has some kind of style!! I’m trying to hold out from going back to super short. Good luck to all of us. 🌻🌻

wow you’re really pretty

Growing out my pixie 5 months on 🖐🏼 my sides grew out surprisingly fast this time around (I've had a pixie before and it took ages last time idk) sooo I only got an undercut just above the nape. I just shaved it again 2 days ago and the undercut is shrinking because the top of my hair is beginning to look like a bob. Give it a year, Rylee! It might be the worst hair year lol but getting through it is worth it I guess

I think of going to the military for a year and cutting my hair. Now watching this so I know what to do after i get back.

I'm currently growing out my hair (almost 3 months in) and I started using Mane and Tail. It is working so far. My mom was a hairstylist for years and she was the one that recommended it. I'm pretty sure she has had customers who used it and saw a massive influence from the shampoo.

I got a pixie a couple of months ago after a hairdresser messed up a choppy bob and I’m DYING 😭 I miss my long hair so much lol. I went w an undercut and now my hair is sticking straight out 😂🥴

I had a pixie cut but then grew it out, took me a year and a little more to get it long enough to do ponytails and buns. Then after 2 years of debating, I chopped my hair off again and eventually learned how to style my hair. Recently, I've been wanting to grow it out for alittle bit mostly due to winter. My growing out process wasn't too bad, sure I had days where it was just like ughhhh but experimenting and looking into tips for managing helped. I would do twists for my sides(used to be my go to look) then after 1 and half to 2 months, space buns. Keep in mind, I never straighten or blow dried my hair during this time or at all.. However, I've been straightening my bangs (also sides now). I've realized that I need to lay off if that and so I'm looking into wavy hair routines and see if that helps me during this journey. Right now I can only bobbypin my left side

Lmaooo I was doing the 360 undercut method planning on growing out the top of my pixie but then I couldnt even stand the awkward length of the top so I just shaved my head 😂 but I also really wanted to shave my head ever since I saw your vids so I have to thank you for that. #inspo

Girl try switching to liquid biotin instead of gummies or tablets. It works soo much better I actually saw major results with it compared to the other forms of it! Also the liquid does not brake me out or my sister who also loves it! You can get it on amazon! Or look it up on RU-vid there are tons of positive feedback toward the liquid version! ❤️I’m growing out a shaved head it will be a year of growth in September! Some other things that really helped the process is cutting the mullet personally getting the back trimmed but leaving the sides alone made it much more bareable! Try not to wash too often or use too much heat! I also haven’t died or bleached my hair in anyway!

This video is great thanks! I just got a pixie in November. I trimmed it myself today because I didn't want to pay $30 for my stylist to trim it. It turned out ok, not hideous but still choppy and uneven. I can't wait till it's long enough to get my stylist to trim again.

I'm finally dedicated to growing my hair out since I damaged it so badly that it was breaking off and falling out so I did a big chop (I say big chop, I only had about 6 cm on top with and an undercut lmao) and now it's back to its natural colour and I only trim the back and over my ears

I have tried and failed to grow my hair for almost 5 years. Kind of sad. But im more determined this time around. Mostly cause im curious how i will look since it been so long. And i know how to take care of my hair and style it.

When growing out my cut, i had it trimmed at the back more than the front so when it grows it turns into an aline bob. But if ever the front is shorter i usually style the front upwards (like a pompadour) and pin the sides. Hope this helps 😊😄❤

I decided im growing mine out .. its looking like a bit of a mullet right now n horrible but if i cut it ill regret it 😫

It’s the 3rd time I’m growing a pixie cut ... I got this 😂

Tysm for the discount! I just ordered the Fallen Angel wig and I cant wait to try it!! Is it easy to wear with a short bob do you think? ':D Im a newbie.

I've grown my full shaved head and now I actually have a long bob with an undercut. I'm growing the undercut now so I can hide it. I too suggest to have an undercut, just don't do it very high in the back...mine it's actually too high so I have basically a straight line across my head ahahah. If you choose the undercut go for a v-shape one

I love your videos your so beautiful AAHHH

When I got a pixie I intentionally got and undercut in case I hated it. And I did! It's only been 3 months and it looks like a little bob. I do need a trim to make it look like an intentional haircut

aaahhh so pretty

I've had my hair in a bob or pixie half of my life. I've also taken the dive and shaved it. I always keep my mullet area trimmed. The front and sides of my hair grows slower than the back. The back in also thicker. It helps it transition from a pixie to a short bob much easier. Don't cut it to the point you've lost all your progress, but trim it, re-texturize it, to take out the parts that look heavy and frumpy. I also curl it more, or wear super short pigtails. Twists, little braids, clips, headbands. I have a head shape that never looked good in hats, plus where I live is HOT. I trim my mullet area with a trimmer. The Wahls sell longer combs up to 1.5 inches online. The Tinkle trimmer (razor comb) also costs just a few bucks, and takes some of the overgrown bulk out of hair, without changing the shape. Use those or some thinning shears to add texture back as it's growing out. Carnation instant breakfast makes my hair and nails grows really fast. My grandma drank a glass every morning, and in her 80's she had long thick nails that were like claws 😂 Really in her retirement, she didn't have much to do but paint and file them, they looked like fake nails but were indeed real. We can learn things from our elders! For me, I learned about the Instant breakfast making my hair, skin, and nails super strong and healthy.

I ve got the same thick as you do same challenge !!! Lol good luck. Love the undercut option ;-)

im getting a pixie cut soon because my hair is very damaged due to the fact that i stopped taking care of it/brushing it regularly and im kinda excited but not at the same time because school starts in a month and im scared of everyones reaction😞

I've been tryna grow out my hair for about 3 years 😂😂 but as soon as my hair reaches eyebrows I shave it off again. I reallllllyyy want long hair, I'm 17 and I've had a pixie cut/ buzzcut since I was 12 and before that I'd had a short, jaw length bob since I was 10. Before that my hair used to be so long that I could sit on it and I want to try and get it long again, so I can do typical teenager shit with my hair like dip dying and cute braids and shit

Im 7 months in and last days im temptated to get a pixie again cos its summer and my mullet kind of hair isnt looking cute. Even if i cut the mullet it still looks like one cos its so thick that it puffs and scrolls up whilst my sides ar almost at my jawline and layered thinner towards the ends soo yh idk what to do :( it looks like i have a bob when i praid the sides but its hard to hold tiny braids with that thick hair

Where are those earrings from ? They are so cute

I have a tip. It takes more time to grow it long but it worked for me. Layers are really annoying. I grow my pixie until it is one length as a pixie. I just kept cutting over the ears until my tops reached just above my ear and then I grew it out. As the sides get longer cut them straight across so they are even. I grow everything and just cut the bottom in the back when it starts to look like a mullet. It’s much easier growing a pixie out if you don’t have a lot of layers.

same. i got 8 months in and cut it :(

Buzzed my head back in 2021 and I’ve been trying to grow it out but things keep getting in the way. The grow out it hard and I was dying it for a while and fried it and lost all my progress. I have been shaving the sides still and think when the sides aren’t shaved it looks so bad on me😂

What is the brand of vitamins? There are so many on the market!

What brand of hair skin and nails do you use??

At least you have thick hair. You'll get there.

We’re Twinsies! Same problem with my hair right now

I have that same problem with my nails, i try to grow them and they break. I feel like i need to eat waaay better lol

i feel u

You have a beautiful voice, I really like listening to your videos.... Greetings!

Lol thank goodness mullets were a style for a minute while growing out my hair

Haha, sorry, my hairline is garbage in the back (literally non existent) so I cannot get an undercut. I am eternally screwed.

hi how old are you ?

I know this has nothing to do with your hair, but that corner dedicated to music looks so dope. I too look like a drowned rat lol

But eventually you'll have to grow out the undercut and it will still be difficult.

Omg thank you so much. Growing out my hair is so far a disaster so thanks👌🏻

Ur so cute

I just wear a wig

ITS JUST HAIR

You say mullet like its a bad thing. For me it was either Donald Trump Hair or a mullet
