Hair Growth Update (Pics) - YouLookFab Forum

For those who are interested, I'm growing my hair a bit:

https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-updates-2

3 months in, and it's a slooooooowwwwww grow-out from a super short pixie with virtually no fringe! I'm managing by keeping things neat and shaped along the way. Regular 6 week trims are helping.

I've changed my mind, though. I don't want Jenna Elfman's hairstyle anymore (see link above). I'm going longer and darker. But still short, IYKWIM.

I took the platinum blonde out and am going my natural colour, which after living in Seattle for 18 years is DARK blonde (like my late Mum). I am not grey at all - yet. I never coloured my hair until living in Seattle. The lack of sun in the PNW is great for your skin, but made my hair dark. I'm embracing it!

I will continue to grow it out this year, and hope to be close by Christmas. In the meantime, here is the progress, both wavy and straight. Darker and longer. Not much of a style. Yet the best I can do until I have more hair to play with.

I tuck behind my ears to keep the look neat. Patience is a virtue!

And if I don't like it, I'll cut it all off again

Looking really nice! I love the color too. You have really pretty hair. That is the nice thing about growing it out - you can always cut it if you hate it! Of course, that would mean another grow-out when you want to try it again

rachylou

Oh wow! You really *are* going longer. Lol. I didn’t believe you

Thanks, RobinF. I have very fine, blow-away hair. But it's versatile so I'm having some fun with it.

Rachy, I'm sticking to my plan!

Laurie

I love it, Angie. You have such gorgeous hair, a little more length will definitely provide styling options. You also clearly have a wonderful stylist taking you through the process - it is always such a journey to grow out from a very short cut.

Thanks, Laurie for the sweet comment. It would be nice to have thick hair like you!

Mirjana

I love your hair, sooo beautiful. The color is gorgeous. I like your idea for the longer hair. Be patient.

JAileen

Really pretty, light or dark. I like your pale blue glasses, too.

Jenni NZ

Looking good ATM! That sounds good getting the 6 week trims. I can never stand mine getting too long whenever I have thought I might grow it out/ change it a bit. So I cut it all off again!
I think I confess to being like Rachylou and wondering if you would stick to your plan

Mirjana and JAileen, appreciate your support and kind words!

JenniNZ, you make me laugh .....YES, it's a mare to grow out a pixie, and I empathize with wanting to cut it all off on bad hair days. I'm committed to the grow-out, though. It's a lesson in patience. That is good for me

Irina

Love it, Angie! Your hair color is gorgeous.
My hair grows slowly, too. I’m trying to grow out bangs and it seems the process will take forever!

Bonnie

Your hair looks great. My blonde has completely grown out but since I'm still cutting my own hair, it looks terrible. Hopefully, I'll feel safe enough to see a stylist soon!

Synne

You are glowing!

Cardiff girl

Growing out hair is a pain but your natural colour is very pretty and it’s looking good.

I'm in awe of how good it looks at this stage, Angie. Your stylist and you are good at making the length look like an actual style, rather a grow-out!

I was thinking recently of growing mine to a bob, but didn't have the will to do it. With my waves or curls, it seems such a long process--it tends to grow out rather than down! At my trim this week, I told my stylist I'll keep it short a while longer.

Irina, hang in there. I understand how LONG it takes. Give yourself till the end of the year. We can do this together!

bonnie, I hope you get to a hair stylist soon. Your natural colour is lovely!

Synne, glowing perhaps.....but not pregnant

Cardiff Girl, appreciate the compliment!

Sharan, your hair is fab! Your waves and curls will make your grow-out look super cute and better than mine. I guarantee it!

Helena

LOVE it!! Looks so good!

Brooklyn

“Not much of a style”. I’d like to have so little style! Looks great!

Runcarla

Your natural colour looks rich and your hair thick. Stay strong! And, thanks for sharing the update - I was wondering how you were doing.

Thanks, Helena!

Brooklyn, your hair is fab! I love it wavy

Carla, I'm strong, not to worry!

slim cat

Looks gorgeous- love the natural dark blond with some light blond color!

Very fun hair project! Love the depth of color. A stylist told me I have fine hair and a lot of it. I think you have the same. Thanks for the update. Rock on

Ginger

Angie, this is looking so cute already! I love the darker color coming through. How many more inches are you needing to grow? Wondering since Christmas is quite a ways off. Of course, trims to keep it neat do factor in. It feels like I need to hack off 3/4" of my bangs every month or so; maybe mine grows faster.

Joy

Your hair is beautiful, Angie. The darker color makes the colors you like to wear have more brilliance.

Bijou

Angie, I love how you are maintaining style and condition in your hair whilst undertaking a grow-out of your pixie. The depth of colour makes your hair look thicker and looks intentional.

Your hair looks fab now, even if this is not the intended end result.

Congratulations,Angie, on the successful grow out. The darker color will really make the colors you like to wear look fresh and bright..

RoseandJoan

The grow out looks intentional rather than an in-between style, I'm looking forward to seeing the final result in a few months time, it's like watching a flower grow and unfurl.

P.s your natural colour is beautiful too, you lucky duck.

Stagiaire Fash

It’s getting long enough that you can play with it, maybe add a couple fancy Bobby pins for fun, cool! I really like the stacked layers in the back and the swoosh up front. I have the same hair type Nikki says you and she have—fine strands, but a lot of them. Your color is great—funny that some people pay beaucoup bucks to have different colors worked into their hair to give it depth, when that’s what yours just does naturally.

kkards

Thanks for the update. It can be a project…and then you hit that point where it’s neither here nor there and the urge to cut it is overwhelming…or at least that’s been my experience. Looking forward to seeing the end result
