Another tip: if it's at the mullet stage and you don't wanna cut it, throw it in a super low ponytail/pigtails and Bobby pin the side pieces to look like it's all together. I did this constantly and it's actually really cute.
Yea i tried that but my hair maybe wasnt long enough, but even so my hairs so straight and kinda thick eveeything slipped out, like hairbands and bobby pins n all yet i couldnt handlr the mullet eitger way so i got a mini undrrcut to tame the bottom while the rest of ky hair was catching up. So ive trimmed the undercut twice now just to keep the bottom short to let the rest grow out , so now i can do a half up half down type thing and im bouta get a blunt bob in 2 months i think. This is i 7 months of of growth lol, how long did it take u? ((:
omg I wish. I tried this but it just looked gross and I used a headband but there were long pieces on the side that curled out and looked weird but I guess this would work on thin hair lol
@@ameliarose2655 when I was in my mullet stage, I just left it alone because nothing was working nor was my hair long enough to do a lot . So I looked ugly for like 5 months 😂😂
This is probably the most honest hair growth video out there. Everyone always preaches some serious regimen to grow out hair, and the truth is it’s just patience with as little trimming someone can get away with while making sure they feel ok with the style. Thanks!
Please don't ever delete this video! It is my inspiration as I grow my hair out. It's hard because at times, I simply want to revert back to simply keeping it at a pixie but I miss my long hair. Thank you!
I identify with this so much! I loved my super short pixie, there were parts of that that were so fun and easy. I also loved having long hair. I don’t love the in between stages, I just have super straight super fine hair that just doesn’t want to do anything. My attitude sucks! LOL!
i suggest not cutting it again, or waiting a bit until you decide to because i grew mine out for 7 months and was making great progress until..... i cut it again and i really regret it now that i want to grow it out again after maybe 2-3 months of having another pixie (I had my first for nearly 2 years)
Banapoodle In the same position...Please think about it before you cut it. I made so much progress and growth and was finally feeling confident, but I ruined it all with one impulsive decision.
@Mijita Chula like I said, I'm currently growing out my pixie so I clicked on a video that has how to grow out a pixie in the title. I'm just saying, she looked so good with her pixie in her before pics, it made me miss mine. But I still haven't gone back to the pixie, I'm still growing it out and only cut my hair every once in a while to get rid of the mullet in the back.
im currently growing out my pixie, i cut the mullet my self so that it was the same length as the top of my head, and it LOOKS like a short bob. i then cut bangs a month later...I regret getting a pixie cut in general
Growing my hair out after having it short for years. I loved short hair and even shaved my head once and loved it but I’m ready for a change :) I feel like the number one tip to growing ur hair out and looking good is to already be gorgeous, as you are 😭😭💖
After watching so many videos of growing out pixies I realized how quickly my hair grows.. I should really never complain again thank you for this realization
I’m at the awkward stage of my pixie cut, I’ve been trimming the back to make it even but your video made me more excited to keep growing it. Thank you very much!
You should really just cut the hair at the outside edges very short like short layers or get a bowl cut if the top is very overgrown and let that grow out as that's what I did once when my hair got cut into this punk cut and I had to get a bowl cut for starting school after a few monthes as my hair was already a little too long for that bowl cut.
I can't say thank you enough ! I shaved all my hair off and went to pixies, currently (painfully) growing it out to a bob. Great and real advice, I feel better after watching this.
Tbh, it was you who made me inspired to cut myself a pixie. I cut it myself at 3.00 am on a thursday morning (I don't recommend it lol). It looked surprisingly good. My dad fixed it a bit and it looked even better. I've had my pixie for about four months now. I know that the growing out process will be a pain in the ass, but I'm sure that I can handle it. My mullet is starting to grow, so I'll have to probably cut it soon (the mullet I mean). I have straight and pretty thick hair.
I'm planning on getting my hair cut tomorrow, my hair is shoulders length rn and last time I cut it was in September, around the jaw line. I wanted to risk w my hair but don't now whether to just get a jawline length cut again or risk even more and try w something near to a pixie cut (cause its too much all at once lol). I really don't know what to do cause last year I got it cut in layers and I regretted that decision for months, till it had grown enough to get it cut, so mainly my deal is that I hate layers and letting ur pixie cut hair grows involves them :)
Totally forgot about this lol, just in case someone cares, i cut it around the jawline and now its reaching elbows. Imma get a pixie cut after prom so in case i looky bad i dont have tons of pics lmao
cutting your hair impulsively is the best. I've been trimming my bangs myself for years and in quarantine I've given myself a few actual haircuts especially since my side shaves have grown out now and i needed to even it all out. I'm lucky that my hair is wavy because it makes cutting it less stressful since the ends don't need to perfectly straight
I'm a dancer so I have a good taste in fashion and makeup but my hair still takes over the look. It's at an awkward mullet stage and It's really frustrating
I got a short bob right after I saw your pixie cut video. I went from waist length, to lob and then finally short bob two weeks ago. I LOVE IT! I love these videos too!
I didn't even get a pixie cause i wanted one. My hair had been overprocessed and I just needed a reboot to grow it out and thinking of how much healthier it will look now makes me excited, so i can deal with the awkward uneven growth.
I got a pixie cut and right away I missed my hair and realized it just wasn’t me:( I get anxious a lot because I genuinely don’t feel pretty with it and I feel like it’s never gonna grow out. I’m hoping that when it’s all grown out I’ll say wow that went fast!! Pray for me hahaha
Abby Carpenter I’m sorry you didn’t like it but you tried something new and your hair will grow out in time, I would say at least a year to get to the shoulder depending on how short you got it and how fast your hair grows
Abby Carpenter good! I felt your pain on that, gotten many haircuts I hatedddd but I’ve learned - it’s just hair and it grows back and you find yourself loving your hair again at some point
I mean HOW did yo know I needed this video so badly lmao. I also watched your vid before I got my pixie!! I felt great at first and honestly I think a really short pixie looks good on me but I decided it wasn’t for me and now I’m 2 months into growing it out. I’ve been feeling so down because I don’t feel pretty with this and I’m so bummed that i have to put up with it for another year 😞 this gives me some hope though that I can look decent in the various stages
Go talk to your stylist. They can recommend a schedule of "shaping trims". I've worn mine in an asymmetrical pixie for several years and when I decided to embrace the "Curly Girl Method" and change my hair style, I did my research and most, if not all, of the "experts" recommend that thinning shears and razors should Never be used on Curly hair. However, the Curly Girl Handbook does recommend a micro-trim to encourage oxygen into the hair shafts. So I went to my stylist and showed her what I was wanting to grow towards (ha ha, pun intended!), and she trimmed just a tad to start shaping it and keep me from looking a hot mess in the interim! Communication is the key! Oh, I've also read, and am using, Jamaican Black Castor seed oil mixed with jojoba oil as a scalp massage and hot oil treatment because it's supposed to encourage growth. Best of luck to you and hang in there! 🤗😎☺
I started hating mine after a few months. A few tips is to be patient. Hats are a good thing to have. Don't be afraid of trims. When my hair was long enough, I braided it a lot. The braids made me feel beautiful again. It will be a year, but you can have some fun with gels and braids. I hope this helps.
i used to have hair to my ribs..very thick and wavy and coarse..but BEAUTIFUL! I started chopping it due to damage because I was crazily changing my mind with hair dyes(thanks depression)...never again! I grew it all the way out to my shoulders, bleached it and chopped it again...that was in November and I cut it yet again in April...this time I am DETERMINED to grow it out again. I miss my locks, I love the pixie, but I've had 3 now...and it's time to get myself back. I know how to grow one out and how awful it can be, that being said the journey of watching your hair grow is awesome! This color and length look fantastic on you! You looked RADIANT AND WERE GLOWING IN THIS! Loved it!
Here’s what I’m doing/did 1 get a fresh cut before growing out and shave the mullet/buzz it 2 let it grow to a short bob ( if uneven pls even it out) 3 do hair treatments, like masks
What - I know this is 10 months later but for me, it took 3-4 months to look like a bob. It was a bit over my chin but after I got the mullet part cut off, it looked like a bob
i shaved my head in july of 2019 and following that i had a really hard time with self image and all of that. since then i have watched this video numerous times and i can say whole heartedly that it is the only video on youtube that gave me hope & made me feel like i could get through it
Thank You LORD! I had a buzzed super short pixie and am in month 2 of growing it out.... dreading my impending mullet but seeing your hair now looks so long I didn’t think It would be that long after 12 months so its a relief to see the transition isn’t that bad - thanks for the tips x
Amelia Rose when I had long hair I always used to wear so many earrings I HAVE SO MUCH but since I cut a pixie I can’t stand hoops bc I feel so ugly I only can wear little stones or pearls.... and i have 103 lipsticks bc I loved lipstick so much but with the pixie I began to feel uncomfortable with eye Make-up like eyeshadow etc.... now it got better but I can’t leave the house without Make-up for example eyebrows bronzer and hilight bc with the short hair I feel like everyone’s sees me
I’m 3 months into growing out but I’m pregnant and my hair is growing super fast. I think I’m in the mullet phase, it’s super long on top and short underneath so it’s currently going up in a little half top knot to let the undercut grow out. Can’t wait to get where you are!
I appreciate the thought behind this video, you actually know how frustrating it is to try and grow it out it’s saddening but it’s just hair it’ll grow one day. You gave great tips and you gave me a lot of hope.
I cut mine into a pixie and mine is growing out so be prepared for the awkward stages which is where I am and mine is ringlets so I’m going crazy between cutting and just keep saying no let it grow lol
I wanna cry. I decided I want to grow out my pixie. She is one year into growing it out and it's where I want mine to be with in three months 😭 I miss my long hair so muchhh.
Scorpio w/Leo rising here - am growing out my asymmetrical pixie I've had for several years (at least 13) and went to my stylist and showed her what I was looking to "grow towards". I was born with stick straight hair and with the onset of menopause it went curly! I've embraced the Curly Girl Method (mostly) and am having a blast figuring out what products work for me (my bank account isn't having as much fun tho, heh). Wish I had half as much hair as you, and LOVE the pink! When my hair turns completely white I'm going to rock me some electric blue! Rock on sweetie, you look great! 🤘👍👍😄😄😄
Hi Gabriela, I'm so thankful that I found this video! I'm currently growing out my pixie and this video was so informative and helpful! So thank you! Also you could literally wear any hairstyle you want because you are stunningly beautiful! Every single picture you showed I thought "oh my goodness I hope this girl knows how beautiful she is"Thanks for the ideas about the hair accessories also!
I've been having second thoughts about my pixie lately. I've had it for about a year and have been missing the cute braids and updos I used to do. This really made me feel confident about starting to grow it out and I really appreciate the advice you gave on the different styles you tried out! Will definitely come back to this during college!
Growing out my pixie wasn't as hard as I was afraid it would be, yay! It took about six months for it to actually be approximately bob length (my hair grows crazy fast) and I held off the mullet stage by just trimming the back as it grew into that lovely tail lol. So, it went from a short pixie, to kind of a classic pixie, to a long pixie, and that turned into a fun, kinda piece-y bob :). Now, I want a pixie again.....
this is a bit late, but i’m currently growing out a buzzcut and i was wondering if you were able to completely avoid the mullet stage by simply trimming the back (and possibly sides)? does that help in avoiding it completely or just prolonging the time until that stage begins? or, did you mean that you just trimmed your hair to manipulate it to grow in a different way? sorry for so many questions!
@@kr-vi2eq Mostly, I just kept the bottom, back edge trimmed. It was pretty effective at keeping it from turning into a mullet. I didn't do much with the sides or top; maybe an occasional trim to keep it looking presentable. I just kept trimming the back until the pixie layering had all grown out into the same length. Hope this helps!
LOL I watched this video about halfway through thinking you seemed familiar. I saw you on Broadway in SIX! Thank you for the hair tips. You are so talented ❤
@@obeyfrankie8157 I did the same thing. I spent a year growing it out to my shoulders then I cut it short. It’s so easy short and such a pain to grow out so I have kept it short. I’m sure I’ll grow it again one day.
i saw your video the other day and decided to get a pixie. This is day 2 of being a pixie girl. It turned out amazing and liberating. Thank you so much Gabriella for making that video!
This gives me so much inspiration and hope for growing out my hair. (Didn’t cut a pixie, but rather I’m growing it out from losing it to chemotherapy). Can’t wait to try some of these when my hair is finally long enough!
This helps soooooo much. I was looking at old pictures of me and getting sad that I didn’t have my long hair anymore, but this helped me restore my faith. I know that sounds dramatic, but I’m just hating my hair right now. Thank you sooooo much
I got my head shaved in September of last year and I'm just now getting to a good pixie cut. I went to get the back trimmed and she cut almost all of my hair back off. Growing is so frustrating sometimes. Thanks for the advice.
i've never had a pixie cut and do not want it but i've been dying my hair for two years when I decided to just stop and grow out my natural hair that would be healthy cuz rn my hair is sooo damaged it's no joke. So I like watching stuff about hair growth in general and wow your hair really looks so shiny and healthy and you are so gorgeous! I am on my 4th month of growing out my hair and it's growing so slowly :( but I am super super excited to cut the damaged coloured hair all off one day!
Thanks for the tips - really appreciate it. I've loved having a pixie, but now I want to try something else. I've already grown the buzz out. Looking forward to trying new styles. 🙂
My hair grows FAST it’s been like a bit over three months and its already really close to shoulder length ( I’m like still at the mullet stage but it’s DEFINITELY grown out quite a bit... like a lot a bit,) but any way thank you and you are so...soooo beautiful! Take care!
I'm growing out a pixie cut i've had for over ten years. Currently at like the 7.20 mark. only took a global pandemic and every hairdresser being closed for me to grow it out. Can't wait to get to where you are now! Also a fellow Leo! hey girl hey!
Scorpio here, so I have thick, coarse hair. I love long hair but really long hair makes me look sluggish. I can’t explain it, but it just makes me look really ‘tired’. I hardly use any styling products. Maybe I should start using one to just style it out a little. I just use a serum right now 😊. Loved the video! Always love your energy 😊❤️
Thanks for this. I have fine straight hair worn in a long bob for life. This year age 71 in pandemic, went through cancer treatment. Hair fell out, now is healthy and 2" long (and coming in gray). Don't have to wear scarf every day thank god. Believe it or not we old sick people also like to look decent! I can see am facing about 2 years to get long bob (lob) back, so seeing this and other videos helps a lot. Will have to get the back trimmed a bit in a couple months; yes being in lockdown helps. What a year! Remember your sisters who go through cancer; help them when you can.
I got a really bad pixie haircut a week ago (it doesn't fit my style at all and it looks very awkward on my head) so I've been watching tons of videos on growing it out cause I want my shoulder length hair back lol. Luckily it's almost winter time so I can wear hats and not worry about getting it cut while growing it out (hopefully). I'm thinking sometime around March it'll be back to its original length! I think your hair looked great throughout all the phases I hope mine will too 💕
i got my pixie about a week ago, and i’m kinda loving it but i still get self conscious when i see other teenagers with long hair and i miss my long hair. I’m going to grow it out. I have thick relaxed hair. I know the grow out process will be long but im definitely up to it, i want to learn to love my hair at any length.
I've had my hair super short for more than 4 years now, and I absolutely love it, but I've been wanting a change, and have been contemplating growing it out to a short bob. It's been almost 4 months since I last got it cut (I used to cut it monthly), and this video was very helpful in determining where I'm at and where I should go from here. I'm def entering the mullet phase, and wasn't sure if i should go get it cut or power thru it, and i think I'm gonna look into cutting it now.
Bleached & murdered it for the trillionth time after having already cut it several times this year! Growing mine out taking double prenatals & getting back on my hair skin & nails vitamins! W my it works global ❤️
You are beautiful! I cut a pixie but i am thinking about letting it grow next year. You made it look so beautiful and definitely made me want to try all of it even more. Thank you for all the ideas.
God this is what i needed rn, im going through the embarrassing pixie phase and i want them to grow back so desperately! I'm a leo too and your video helped me get a little confidence back. I'm beautiful even if my hair is short!!!
I’m starting to grow my pixie out now… I miss my long beautiful hair! I know there’s going to be awkward hair days with it, I just gotta bear with it! Your video was very helpful!
Girl, THANK YOU 🖤🖤🖤 I have yet to get passed that awkward stage (pixie rocker for 5 years now), and you gave me some serious inspiration! I love how real you are in this video. Its like we had a legit convo over coffee 😂 #doingitright
Thank you so much for your insightful video. I've had long and short, and when it's short, I kick myself for having done it. I'm still in the trimming off the mullet as it grows out stage and it's so mentally challenging not to just shave it back down to a very short pixie. But there is hope! As you have described, I invested in some hair scarves - those have become fun to play with.. but even more - I've picked up a few cute LONG wigs! Amazon has some really nice and really ones that won't break the bank. They're super fun to switch up and it helps keep you sane while waiting for your own hair to grow out. Again - thanks so much for the video, I'm now a subscriber!
SISTER, I’M DYING RN BECAUSE I REALLY NEED THIS FOR MY LIFE - for whatever reason, i just went to the salon yesterday and wanted to go like a super short bob (almost semi-Pixie, i guess) from a GORGEOUS boob-length hair. But the thing about a lot of hair stylists is that they tend to not listen to the customer and what happened was that my hair ended up as a short Pixie which i HATE right now ‘cause i feel like i look like a femme teen boy. I can’t wait for at least another six months until i can get my hair and volumes back - i don’t mind having like a neck-length hair as long as i have my volumes and gracious flows back😭😭😭😭😭
I've been searching for a video on how should I like good while growing my hair. Finally I found this video. I'm currently at the mullet stage thinking if I should cut the back hair or should I leave it. Goodness I found this. I will follow. Thank you! 😂
Thank you for this video, I cut my hair in Dec 2019 and now it looks like a Chinese Bob, I've come back to your so many times through each stage I've been through!!! So helpful!! I need to cut my mullet now but we're stuck in lockdown and I'm a Vigro going nuts lol
I LOVE this video thank you for showing all of the stages and how your rocked each length ♡ you're gorgeous ♡ I'm finally at the pixie length after losing all my hair to alopecia cant wait to try the "Peter pan" look
I’m not doing this now, but I do know that sometime in the next few years I’m going to shave my head and grow my hair out as long as I can without dying it, and this was actually really helpful and gives me hope that I won’t look terrible while growing it out!
I buzzed the sides and left the long top about 3 months ago and i definitely needed this video! It’s growing so quick and I’m not ready for the awkward stages
i got a buzz cut in january and decided i’ll cut it and now i’m in the process of growing my fade out. it’s been two months and i’m dying bc i hate the wya it looks, but this video totally just helped
Same, it took me like 3 months to even get to pixie to begin with. Now I'm pixie. I hate it, I'm looking at growing out vids to motivate myself because I feel so ugly gosh I hate it. I hereby solemnly swear I will never cut it below chin again. Never.
Absolutely love this video! Was feeling kind of pessimistic about growing out my buzz cut but this video and the pictures and styling tips you incorporated really helped me!
@@annnaliseknight9632 what I would reccomend is getting the mullet part so the back trimmed down so that the top of your head can grow with the back. Have a good day
I’ve been on this journey too many times to count, and I broke after almost a year of growing it out and went super short. I’ve lost every last scrap of confidence I had, I don’t know if I can do it again. :(
Hats and head scarves are your best friends during the "awkward phases". But be confident ! Long or short hair, you're beautiful the way you are, even when you think you're not. Your hair shouldn't define you.
i love all the stages of length with your hair and getting quite some inspiration for my 'growing out' now - but the hair you have now (in this video) compliments you a looooot, if not the best somehow.
Another tip: if it's at the mullet stage and you don't wanna cut it, throw it in a super low ponytail/pigtails and Bobby pin the side pieces to look like it's all together. I did this constantly and it's actually really cute.
Yea i tried that but my hair maybe wasnt long enough, but even so my hairs so straight and kinda thick eveeything slipped out, like hairbands and bobby pins n all yet i couldnt handlr the mullet eitger way so i got a mini undrrcut to tame the bottom while the rest of ky hair was catching up.

@@ameliarose2655 when I was in my mullet stage, I just left it alone because nothing was working nor was my hair long enough to do a lot . So I looked ugly for like 5 months 😂😂

This is the second time i got a pixie and i am just thinking to myself, why like why did cut it in the first place??!!
Me its pretty tho bur damn cant deny missing hair :(
Amber Maple Yes, I’m in an endless cycle of stupidity. 😂
MEEE
I shaved my head 27th January so I’m looking for every single video with the words “growing” and “hair” in the same sentence 😂😂
hahaha sending you my hair growing vibes!
Catalina Barrera Arf I shaved my head in November and I’m so imPATIENT
I cut my hair in Jan and my hair is just horrible I hate my friends for not stopping me lmao
Catalina Barrera omg I shaved my hair on the same day as you 😄
I have buzzed half my head and and have long bangs so I am screwed with growing hair even I got it two weeks ago

This made me feel so much more positive towards growing my hair out, I got a pixie cut because I had to, my hair was fried and I don’t enjoy it at all
Same
Sammmeee. I really noticed my head shape a lot more and it made me self conscious but thinking of how much healthier my hair will be now is worth it!
i find myself breaking down over how awful i feel i’m seriously just keeping optimistic :-(
Me toooo. I’m at the one year mark of shaving my head bc of a bleach incident 😂😂
I'm going to get a pixie cut before the year ends, for the same reason! Wish me luckkk!!!

I’m at the awkward stage of my pixie cut, I’ve been trimming the back to make it even but your video made me more excited to keep growing it. Thank you very much!
You should really just cut the hair at the outside edges very short like short layers or get a bowl cut if the top is very overgrown and let that grow out as that's what I did once when my hair got cut into this punk cut and I had to get a bowl cut for starting school after a few monthes as my hair was already a little too long for that bowl cut.
I can't say thank you enough ! I shaved all my hair off and went to pixies, currently (painfully) growing it out to a bob. Great and real advice, I feel better after watching this.

Bruh i cut my own hair and it looked like ass 😂
cutting your hair impulsively is the best. I've been trimming my bangs myself for years and in quarantine I've given myself a few actual haircuts especially since my side shaves have grown out now and i needed to even it all out. I'm lucky that my hair is wavy because it makes cutting it less stressful since the ends don't need to perfectly straight
Just make sure you have bomb style and makeup, then nobody will notice your hair lmao
This is true!
I'm too ugly
😂😂😂👌 true
Tea
I'm a dancer so I have a good taste in fashion and makeup but my hair still takes over the look. It's at an awkward mullet stage and It's really frustrating
I got a short bob right after I saw your pixie cut video. I went from waist length, to lob and then finally short bob two weeks ago. I LOVE IT! I love these videos too!
That hair looked absolutely gorgeous throughout the entire journey. She looks great with all of those lengths!
I didn't even get a pixie cause i wanted one. My hair had been overprocessed and I just needed a reboot to grow it out and thinking of how much healthier it will look now makes me excited, so i can deal with the awkward uneven growth.
Pls tell me how you like it now, i keep imagining myself 4 years from now with long hair that i love
I got a pixie cut and right away I missed my hair and realized it just wasn’t me:( I get anxious a lot because I genuinely don’t feel pretty with it and I feel like it’s never gonna grow out. I’m hoping that when it’s all grown out I’ll say wow that went fast!! Pray for me hahaha
Abby Carpenter I’m sorry you didn’t like it but you tried something new and your hair will grow out in time, I would say at least a year to get to the shoulder depending on how short you got it and how fast your hair grows
bee bee yes I’ve grown to like it better as it’s gotten longer! It’s almost at my chin so it’s going pretty good:)
Abby Carpenter how did you grow it
Jade Beaut hmm I just let it grow hahaha. I did get the back and sides trimmed though so I didn’t have a mullet
Abby Carpenter good! I felt your pain on that, gotten many haircuts I hatedddd but I’ve learned - it’s just hair and it grows back and you find yourself loving your hair again at some point
I mean HOW did yo know I needed this video so badly lmao. I also watched your vid before I got my pixie!! I felt great at first and honestly I think a really short pixie looks good on me but I decided it wasn’t for me and now I’m 2 months into growing it out. I’ve been feeling so down because I don’t feel pretty with this and I’m so bummed that i have to put up with it for another year 😞 this gives me some hope though that I can look decent in the various stages
Go talk to your stylist. They can recommend a schedule of "shaping trims". I've worn mine in an asymmetrical pixie for several years and when I decided to embrace the "Curly Girl Method" and change my hair style, I did my research and most, if not all, of the "experts" recommend that thinning shears and razors should Never be used on Curly hair. However, the Curly Girl Handbook does recommend a micro-trim to encourage oxygen into the hair shafts. So I went to my stylist and showed her what I was wanting to grow towards (ha ha, pun intended!), and she trimmed just a tad to start shaping it and keep me from looking a hot mess in the interim! Communication is the key! Oh, I've also read, and am using, Jamaican Black Castor seed oil mixed with jojoba oil as a scalp massage and hot oil treatment because it's supposed to encourage growth. Best of luck to you and hang in there! 🤗😎☺
We're literally in the same exact situation aaah
Same😫😫
I started hating mine after a few months. A few tips is to be patient. Hats are a good thing to have. Don't be afraid of trims. When my hair was long enough, I braided it a lot. The braids made me feel beautiful again. It will be a year, but you can have some fun with gels and braids. I hope this helps.
pppotatoes I’m in month 9 of growth. It gets better I swear. Things start shaping up around month 5 and 6.
i used to have hair to my ribs..very thick and wavy and coarse..but BEAUTIFUL! I started chopping it due to damage because I was crazily changing my mind with hair dyes(thanks depression)...never again! I grew it all the way out to my shoulders, bleached it and chopped it again...that was in November and I cut it yet again in April...this time I am DETERMINED to grow it out again. I miss my locks, I love the pixie, but I've had 3 now...and it's time to get myself back. I know how to grow one out and how awful it can be, that being said the journey of watching your hair grow is awesome! This color and length look fantastic on you! You looked RADIANT AND WERE GLOWING IN THIS! Loved it!
Here’s what I’m doing/did
1 get a fresh cut before growing out and shave the mullet/buzz it
2 let it grow to a short bob ( if uneven pls even it out)
3 do hair treatments, like masks
how long did it take you to get to short bob length - like chin length? thats kinda my goal length and im at a pretty standard length
What - I know this is 10 months later but for me, it took 3-4 months to look like a bob. It was a bit over my chin but after I got the mullet part cut off, it looked like a bob
Wow, you're like a mind reader. The moment I wanted a pixie, your previous vid pop out of my feed. Same thing goes with this. Love you!
i shaved my head in july of 2019 and following that i had a really hard time with self image and all of that. since then i have watched this video numerous times and i can say whole heartedly that it is the only video on youtube that gave me hope & made me feel like i could get through it
Thank You LORD! I had a buzzed super short pixie and am in month 2 of growing it out.... dreading my impending mullet but seeing your hair now looks so long I didn’t think It would be that long after 12 months so its a relief to see the transition isn’t that bad - thanks for the tips x
When you said that you started to enjoy earrings I noticed how absolutely gigantic your earrings are oh my gosh
Amelia Rose when I had long hair I always used to wear so many earrings I HAVE SO MUCH but since I cut a pixie I can’t stand hoops bc I feel so ugly I only can wear little stones or pearls.... and i have 103 lipsticks bc I loved lipstick so much but with the pixie I began to feel uncomfortable with eye Make-up like eyeshadow etc.... now it got better but I can’t leave the house without Make-up for example eyebrows bronzer and hilight bc with the short hair I feel like everyone’s sees me
Omg when she started talking about it I saw your comment kskfjwfk
I'm not going to lie, I didn't even notice the earrings until almost 6 minutes in.
I’m 3 months into growing out but I’m pregnant and my hair is growing super fast. I think I’m in the mullet phase, it’s super long on top and short underneath so it’s currently going up in a little half top knot to let the undercut grow out. Can’t wait to get where you are!
I appreciate the thought behind this video, you actually know how frustrating it is to try and grow it out it’s saddening but it’s just hair it’ll grow one day. You gave great tips and you gave me a lot of hope.
Love how confident you are! Every „hair-phase“ looks great on you☺️ is your natural hair color black ? How long do you want your hair to be ?
You look so good with every single hair length. The Peter Pan. The French. The slick back omg
Aries here. GIRL! I am about to get a pixie cut for the first time and this is what I needed. Thank you
welp im cutting my elbow-length hair into a pixie in two days bc i have no self-control and i'm watching this...just in case.
pls help
I cut mine into a pixie and mine is growing out so be prepared for the awkward stages which is where I am and mine is ringlets so I’m going crazy between cutting and just keep saying no let it grow lol
How’d it go ?
everyone else loves it but i miss my long hair 😢
CJH I’m cutting my almost butt length hair to a pixie and I’m scared.
Dean_Winchesters _Baby_Daddy I did that an it turned out ok so just go with (btw I did mine with NO planing so your already starting off good)
I wanna cry. I decided I want to grow out my pixie. She is one year into growing it out and it's where I want mine to be with in three months 😭 I miss my long hair so muchhh.
Scorpio w/Leo rising here - am growing out my asymmetrical pixie I've had for several years (at least 13) and went to my stylist and showed her what I was looking to "grow towards". I was born with stick straight hair and with the onset of menopause it went curly! I've embraced the Curly Girl Method (mostly) and am having a blast figuring out what products work for me (my bank account isn't having as much fun tho, heh). Wish I had half as much hair as you, and LOVE the pink! When my hair turns completely white I'm going to rock me some electric blue! Rock on sweetie, you look great! 🤘👍👍😄😄😄
Shaved my head for charity last year and my hair is now a pixie! Looking forward to growing it out man
Hi Gabriela, I'm so thankful that I found this video! I'm currently growing out my pixie and this video was so informative and helpful! So thank you! Also you could literally wear any hairstyle you want because you are stunningly beautiful! Every single picture you showed I thought "oh my goodness I hope this girl knows how beautiful she is"Thanks for the ideas about the hair accessories also!
i NEEDED this !!
im in the mullet stage right now and i wanted a natural way to grow it out comfortably. thank you !!
Her saying these inspirational words just suddenly became my ASMR. Thank you, Gabriela! 😊
I've been having second thoughts about my pixie lately. I've had it for about a year and have been missing the cute braids and updos I used to do. This really made me feel confident about starting to grow it out and I really appreciate the advice you gave on the different styles you tried out! Will definitely come back to this during college!
You Look Amazing with A Pixie Cut and whenbits growing out! Wow!❤❤❤
Growing out my pixie wasn't as hard as I was afraid it would be, yay! It took about six months for it to actually be approximately bob length (my hair grows crazy fast) and I held off the mullet stage by just trimming the back as it grew into that lovely tail lol. So, it went from a short pixie, to kind of a classic pixie, to a long pixie, and that turned into a fun, kinda piece-y bob :).
Now, I want a pixie again.....
this is a bit late, but i’m currently growing out a buzzcut and i was wondering if you were able to completely avoid the mullet stage by simply trimming the back (and possibly sides)? does that help in avoiding it completely or just prolonging the time until that stage begins? or, did you mean that you just trimmed your hair to manipulate it to grow in a different way? sorry for so many questions!
@@kr-vi2eq Mostly, I just kept the bottom, back edge trimmed. It was pretty effective at keeping it from turning into a mullet. I didn't do much with the sides or top; maybe an occasional trim to keep it looking presentable. I just kept trimming the back until the pixie layering had all grown out into the same length. Hope this helps!
TheTardyOwl VG that does help very much! thank you! :)
This gives me hope, after I lost my hair compliments of chemo. Thank you!
The layers being shorter on top doesn’t look bad
It actually looks good and gives shape and dimension
👍👌🏻
LOL I watched this video about halfway through thinking you seemed familiar. I saw you on Broadway in SIX! Thank you for the hair tips. You are so talented ❤
I’m growing my hair long because it’s been short for years but honestly,, pixie cuts are superior
Oh my gosh you gave me so much hope. I friken loath my cut right now.
I'm trying to grow out mine
...ugh i regret ever cutting it..
They aren't for everyone lmao
Same i'm so sad I finally got to shoulder length and then went really short :(
@@obeyfrankie8157 I did the same thing. I spent a year growing it out to my shoulders then I cut it short. It’s so easy short and such a pain to grow out so I have kept it short. I’m sure I’ll grow it again one day.
So trueee
THANK YOU SO FRIKING MUCH I LOVE HOW YOU MADE ME FEEL BEAUTIFUL WITH A MESSY CUT
I'm growing out a pixie right now also. I just got the mullet cleaned up to a short Bob, I love it. I love your length. It looks great.
Lisa Weese I’m growing my out to :)
i saw your video the other day and decided to get a pixie. This is day 2 of being a pixie girl. It turned out amazing and liberating. Thank you so much Gabriella for making that video!
This gives me so much inspiration and hope for growing out my hair. (Didn’t cut a pixie, but rather I’m growing it out from losing it to chemotherapy). Can’t wait to try some of these when my hair is finally long enough!
So glad to have inspired you!
Im also growing it out after chemotherapy! Sending you love 💘
This helps soooooo much. I was looking at old pictures of me and getting sad that I didn’t have my long hair anymore, but this helped me restore my faith. I know that sounds dramatic, but I’m just hating my hair right now. Thank you sooooo much
I'm sending you all my hair growth vibes! Stay with it! You're still beautiful, no matter what!
I got my head shaved in September of last year and I'm just now getting to a good pixie cut. I went to get the back trimmed and she cut almost all of my hair back off. Growing is so frustrating sometimes. Thanks for the advice.
Buzzed it last oct. This is exactly why I dont want to cut the mullet. But ugh it literally has no shape.
i've never had a pixie cut and do not want it but i've been dying my hair for two years when I decided to just stop and grow out my natural hair that would be healthy cuz rn my hair is sooo damaged it's no joke. So I like watching stuff about hair growth in general and wow your hair really looks so shiny and healthy and you are so gorgeous! I am on my 4th month of growing out my hair and it's growing so slowly :( but I am super super excited to cut the damaged coloured hair all off one day!
I've been feeling dumpy with growing my hair out and this video was so helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. I am trying to grow my hair out and it's driving me crazy!
Thank you so much for making this video! I’m growing out a pixie, feeling really frustrated, but your video was so encouraging! You rock!
Thanks for the tips - really appreciate it. I've loved having a pixie, but now I want to try something else. I've already grown the buzz out. Looking forward to trying new styles. 🙂
My hair grows FAST it’s been like a bit over three months and its already really close to shoulder length ( I’m like still at the mullet stage but it’s DEFINITELY grown out quite a bit... like a lot a bit,) but any way thank you and you are so...soooo beautiful! Take care!
I wish mine grew that fast.
Lucky
I'm growing out a pixie cut i've had for over ten years. Currently at like the 7.20 mark. only took a global pandemic and every hairdresser being closed for me to grow it out. Can't wait to get to where you are now!
Also a fellow Leo! hey girl hey!
Scorpio here, so I have thick, coarse hair. I love long hair but really long hair makes me look sluggish. I can’t explain it, but it just makes me look really ‘tired’. I hardly use any styling products. Maybe I should start using one to just style it out a little. I just use a serum right now 😊. Loved the video! Always love your energy 😊❤️
Ty! Best pixie to bob video I’ve seen!
Omg I am a Leo too and I got a pixie cut and I was thinking what I would do but then I find this video and I was so impressed so thank u for the tips
I have to say, you looked amazing with a pixie cut! Definitely stood out from the crowd 😍
I feel like you stalked me, saw I needed it and made a video
Yasmim Almeida honestly same????
Thanks for this. I have fine straight hair worn in a long bob for life. This year age 71 in pandemic, went through cancer treatment. Hair fell out, now is healthy and 2" long (and coming in gray). Don't have to wear scarf every day thank god. Believe it or not we old sick people also like to look decent! I can see am facing about 2 years to get long bob (lob) back, so seeing this and other videos helps a lot. Will have to get the back trimmed a bit in a couple months; yes being in lockdown helps. What a year! Remember your sisters who go through cancer; help them when you can.
Thank you so much for this video. Iv just had a pixie cut for the first time and hate it and want to start the grow out 🌿
Thank you 🙏🏻
I recently got a buzzcut for charity, this is the best video I've seen so far for ideas when I decide to grow it out!
8:00 tell me why when she said "earrings" i just noticed how big her hoops are lmao
I got a really bad pixie haircut a week ago (it doesn't fit my style at all and it looks very awkward on my head) so I've been watching tons of videos on growing it out cause I want my shoulder length hair back lol. Luckily it's almost winter time so I can wear hats and not worry about getting it cut while growing it out (hopefully). I'm thinking sometime around March it'll be back to its original length! I think your hair looked great throughout all the phases I hope mine will too 💕
eugh i need more leos in my life god damn. 3months into growing out a full buzz and glad to see there's a light at the end of the tunnel. subscribed x
i got my pixie about a week ago, and i’m kinda loving it but i still get self conscious when i see other teenagers with long hair and i miss my long hair. I’m going to grow it out. I have thick relaxed hair. I know the grow out process will be long but im definitely up to it, i want to learn to love my hair at any length.
I've had my hair super short for more than 4 years now, and I absolutely love it, but I've been wanting a change, and have been contemplating growing it out to a short bob. It's been almost 4 months since I last got it cut (I used to cut it monthly), and this video was very helpful in determining where I'm at and where I should go from here. I'm def entering the mullet phase, and wasn't sure if i should go get it cut or power thru it, and i think I'm gonna look into cutting it now.
Bleached & murdered it for the trillionth time after having already cut it several times this year! Growing mine out taking double prenatals & getting back on my hair skin & nails vitamins! W my it works global ❤️
Hi! Scorpio here❤ I have a pixie cut right now. I have had it for almost a year, but I'm ready to grow it out. Thanks for the video!!
You are beautiful! I cut a pixie but i am thinking about letting it grow next year. You made it look so beautiful and definitely made me want to try all of it even more. Thank you for all the ideas.
YAAAAAS, BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR A WHILE 💚
God this is what i needed rn, im going through the embarrassing pixie phase and i want them to grow back so desperately! I'm a leo too and your video helped me get a little confidence back. I'm beautiful even if my hair is short!!!
I’ve come across a few pixie grow outs all of a sudden. I think I’m gonna try to grow out my pixie!
I’m starting to grow my pixie out now… I miss my long beautiful hair! I know there’s going to be awkward hair days with it, I just gotta bear with it! Your video was very helpful!
Girl, THANK YOU 🖤🖤🖤 I have yet to get passed that awkward stage (pixie rocker for 5 years now), and you gave me some serious inspiration! I love how real you are in this video. Its like we had a legit convo over coffee 😂 #doingitright
holy crappp you're SO PRETTY
Thank you so much for your insightful video. I've had long and short, and when it's short, I kick myself for having done it. I'm still in the trimming off the mullet as it grows out stage and it's so mentally challenging not to just shave it back down to a very short pixie. But there is hope! As you have described, I invested in some hair scarves - those have become fun to play with.. but even more - I've picked up a few cute LONG wigs! Amazon has some really nice and really ones that won't break the bank. They're super fun to switch up and it helps keep you sane while waiting for your own hair to grow out. Again - thanks so much for the video, I'm now a subscriber!
Her hair looks amazing at that length and the pixie cut as well, looks fantastic.
I found wearing dangly earrings when I was growing it out kinda made it better! X
SISTER, I’M DYING RN BECAUSE I REALLY NEED THIS FOR MY LIFE - for whatever reason, i just went to the salon yesterday and wanted to go like a super short bob (almost semi-Pixie, i guess) from a GORGEOUS boob-length hair. But the thing about a lot of hair stylists is that they tend to not listen to the customer and what happened was that my hair ended up as a short Pixie which i HATE right now ‘cause i feel like i look like a femme teen boy. I can’t wait for at least another six months until i can get my hair and volumes back - i don’t mind having like a neck-length hair as long as i have my volumes and gracious flows back😭😭😭😭😭
Vitapointe leave in ‘between’ conditioner.Less than $8.00 (AUS)and it leaves wavy hair that is growing out, in amazing condition!!!!
I've been searching for a video on how should I like good while growing my hair. Finally I found this video.
I'm currently at the mullet stage thinking if I should cut the back hair or should I leave it. Goodness I found this. I will follow. Thank you! 😂
I am at what I call the 'lego man' stage with my hair, I want to rip it out
SAME
Omg😂 yes it is exactly like Lego men, just had that. Keep cutting around the ears and neck then it grows out better.
Thank you for this video, I cut my hair in Dec 2019 and now it looks like a Chinese Bob, I've come back to your so many times through each stage I've been through!!! So helpful!! I need to cut my mullet now but we're stuck in lockdown and I'm a Vigro going nuts lol
I LOVE this video thank you for showing all of the stages and how your rocked each length ♡ you're gorgeous ♡ I'm finally at the pixie length after losing all my hair to alopecia cant wait to try the "Peter pan" look
I’m not doing this now, but I do know that sometime in the next few years I’m going to shave my head and grow my hair out as long as I can without dying it, and this was actually really helpful and gives me hope that I won’t look terrible while growing it out!
First! Love you, Gabi ❤❤❤❤❤
Love you too :)
I buzzed the sides and left the long top about 3 months ago and i definitely needed this video! It’s growing so quick and I’m not ready for the awkward stages
Growing out a buzz cut so this'll help in a few month 😂
Currently growing out a buzz cut too. Good luck!
Me too girl
i got a buzz cut in january and decided i’ll cut it and now i’m in the process of growing my fade out. it’s been two months and i’m dying bc i hate the wya it looks, but this video totally just helped
Same, it took me like 3 months to even get to pixie to begin with. Now I'm pixie. I hate it, I'm looking at growing out vids to motivate myself because I feel so ugly gosh I hate it. I hereby solemnly swear I will never cut it below chin again. Never.
Same.
Absolutely love this video! Was feeling kind of pessimistic about growing out my buzz cut but this video and the pictures and styling tips you incorporated really helped me!
Oh my gosh. this helped soooooo much. I am currently growing out my pixie. And I was in need of some ideas.
Karly Koch same here! Mines at the mullet phase and I hate it!
@@annnaliseknight9632 what I would reccomend is getting the mullet part so the back trimmed down so that the top of your head can grow with the back. Have a good day
Karly Koch I’m actually doing that tomorrow😂 have a good day too and thanks for the advice
Thank you for being an inspiration and giving me hope so i actually go through this insane growing phase!
I’ve been on this journey too many times to count, and I broke after almost a year of growing it out and went super short.
I’ve lost every last scrap of confidence I had, I don’t know if I can do it again. :(
Hats and head scarves are your best friends during the "awkward phases". But be confident ! Long or short hair, you're beautiful the way you are, even when you think you're not. Your hair shouldn't define you.
i love all the stages of length with your hair and getting quite some inspiration for my 'growing out' now - but the hair you have now (in this video) compliments you a looooot, if not the best somehow.
