Hello all. I posted here several months ago asking for opinions on growing my hair out, and as a result of the responses, decided to do so. I grew it out from April till September - and then cut it again because I couldn't stand it anymore. (My hair was so short to begin with that even after 5 months of growth, it still just looked like a pixie that badly needed a trim.).

I felt relieved after I cut it. I looked good again! Polished and like I had an actual style. But now a few weeks later I am having cutter's remorse and thinking about growing it out again.

How do you know what to do? I mean, I'm bored. But that doesn't mean I necessarily need a different style, I guess. I will say that with my short hair I get tons of compliments. No one ever says to me, hey, great chin length bob. But I think that's more because my short hair is more uncommon while many people have a bob or longer. My hair is super fine, so a bob is about the longest I can grow it. And it may very well be that the pixie is "my" cut, anyway. I am petite with a small face, big eyes, and delicate features. But...I miss having hair. But when I have (somewhat) longer hair, I don't usually think it looks very good, anyway. Sigh.

I know some will suggest a color change, etc., but my hair is very delicate and too much coloring can be damaging. And plus, I really like my natural color. I do highlight it occasionally.

Anyway, I don't know what I expect from this post except maybe a little sympathy. They always say, cut it, it's only hair. It'll grow! But they don't say, it'll take a long time, though, and look pretty bad in the meantime.
