thanks for the tips! I just strted to document my hair growing out. I'm glad you mention the trimming of the back. I need thinning shears, but can I use regular scissors?
Thanks so much for this video! I'm at the mom-mullet stage and feel sad about it and wish I could have it all long again... I've resisted cutting the back but I think I better do it! I still do not regret getting a pixie - it is very cute and SO easy to deal with.
thankyou. so much. you have no idea. i've been lost on this subject for so long. i'm going to this party and my hair is sooo awkward now im going to trim, get that gel, maybe dye it and blow dry! thanks!!!!
how would you advise I grow out a hair cut where the sides are shaved to the skin, but the top is to my lower cheek? the hair on top gradually gets longer toward the front. so yeah, help?!
Thank you so much!!! I have a pixie, and when I got it cut, it was really aborable. But right now, it's at the really obnoxious stage where the shortest layer is at my cheekbones and I can't do anything to make it look good. >_< I'll take your advice and see how it works for me. :)
Im growing it out to.. but my hair grows pretty fast so.. well the growing out stage is pretty akward but hair grows fast so don't worry and its only HAIR! ;D
My hair is cut super weird, I have one side like short, and the other side is by my shoulder. so growing it out is going to be awkward because i do not want to pixie cut it all
Hey not that I expect u to remember but I've comment on ur video (first time u cut ur hair) n I was really inspired, I was about to get a pixie cut but decided not to. A friend told me the growing out phase sucks and not worth getting it cut..I've seen her hair n sometimes she looks like a mom/lord farquad (shrek), I'm still curious about getting it Done but just want to know if it was worth it now that you've passed the exciting phase (1st cut)..?
@MrsPaws1 I would say it is pretty worth it. Sure it takes a LONG time for it to grow back, but you can say to people that you had your hair EXTREMELY short at one point in your life. I always tell myself that hair always grows back. If you don't like it when you do get it, then you will know in the future that its just not for you...you wont be wondering about "what if I got a pixie..". Good Luck!!!!
@bonjourimsarahcho ANSWER: With the thinning shears, i did it straight across. I used 2 mirrors to check if it was even (a tiny compact one and the one attached the the wall). If you can't see if you are cutting it evenly, ask a trust worthy friend to help you. Good Luck!
@jovesChild Thanks again! (: I've had to deal with a look that seemed as if I had a wig that wasn't meant for me on... Oh and I'm going to do this without my mom being in on it(she's sensitive to changes in my hairstyles, too :P)
@yazilove95 No, not at all. I'm glad to say to people that I was able to have almost ALL of my hair chopped off. It certainly was an experience. Of course I had my up and down moments with it, but I mean who doesn't (with any type of hair). The only thing thats painful is growing it out but I do not regret it during this process. I am just fortunate to have fast growing hair (an inch every month) :D Just remember, it will ALWAYS grow back. Good Luck to you and your hair <3
I just got a pixie cut 4 days ago but without the side bangs and it doesn't suit me at all! My hair is very straight like yours and its sitting in a very stiff style. I cant wait untill my hair reaches the same length as yours because i feel so ugly right now.
@shatterdwing OH NO! :'( Well you know what you are going to need to do??? Play with the eyes and wardrobe for this summer. Sometimes I felt ugly cuz I had my off days and I played with make up and it really helped. And with the summer, you can wear those cute sun hats and wear dangling earrings! SUPA KYOOT! I hope all goes well :D
@jovesChild haha me too! :( my hair is not growing out right.... i cant wait till summer so i can get it all fixed up though. I miss long hair a lot some times.
I Love this video! Right now I'm in the process of growing out my pixie and it sort of looks like yours. And you're right it's very awkward growing it out cause it goes through so many stages. Hopefully my hair will be to shoulders sometime next year. Thanks for this amazing video!! :)
@itzmekimie Thank you kimie ^.^ I was thinkin of growing it all the way to my shoulders, like the way I had it in my video "A dumb whats in my purse video" :D
there's a really good blog on how to grow your pixie that references your video!

THIS IS AMAZING! I seriously just searched "growing out a pixie" in the youtube search thingy and I got your video.
Question: When you trim the hair in the back, do you trim straight across? Or does it look okay when it's a bit uneven(because I can't see the back)?
