-every hairdresser and hair expert is going to tell you to get a trim every 6 weeks or so. DO NOT LISTEN.
-instead of getting a trim to cut off the dead ends, just avoid dead ends in the first place. And yes, I’m talking about not using heat on your hair.
-heat is a no go when it comes to growing out a pixie. I only straighten mine once every 4 weeks to keep you guys updated and to see my growth and compare pictures.
-avoid using products such as hairspray, mouse, gel, etc. they dry your hair out, so if you are going to use anything, use small amounts.
-don’t wash your hair unless you have to. Unless your hair physically feels dirty, don’t wash it. Trust me, your hair won’t smell, nobody will know it’s not washed.
-play around with different styles. If you don’t find hairstyles you like you’re going to dread the grow out process.
-try to put your hair in a ponytail every few weeks. It’s a good way to mark your progress. You’ll start to notice your ponytail getting longer and less and less pieces will hang down as time goes by.
-once you can make a decent ponytail mess around with making buns. I can remember wishing to be able to make a bun and now I can make a little one
-always remember, baby steps! Your hair goes through a lot and it can only grow so fast. Be happy with your progress and have fun with it.
-lastly, vitamins! I can’t stress enough how much improvement I saw in my hair after I started taking vitamins. I take prenatal vitamins and folic acid for my hair growth. I take fish oil too, but that’s for my joints. I would suggest biotin too if it’s in your budget. Prenatal vitamins do the trick though!
Hope this helps!
And now that my hair is officially grown out, I made a video on how I grew it out
