Growing out the Pixie {3 years}

Oct 5, 2016 /

I have officially been growing out my hair for 3 years. Whoa. You can see all that wonderful progress HERE.

I had a trim in February before Dwayne was born – and hated it. Not sure if it was the cut or the style.. the lady gave me “bangs” which I don’t like unless they can tuck behind my ear and they were just a tad too short so they were ALWAYS in my face.

All of this is one big first world prob.. So I’ll keep going..

Since Dwayne was born my hair has been up in a pony or a clip (pictured below). It’s long enough to be in the way during nursing and now my little mans grabby fingers LOVE it.

Tomorrow I am getting it chopped! Mom style! For this little cutie..

I’m so excited and super nervous. It has been a long time since I had short hair or hair that I couldn’t throw up into a ponytail. But I think it will be good. It will force me to “get ready” more often and trust me, I neeeed that.

I am planning on going with the October of 2014 length but I will also hand over creative responsibility to the professional. I’ll keep you posted.

Buh bye! Happy Day!

44 weeks in and still no professional haircut! That is growing out a pixie on a budget. Just enlist your very willing and loving husband to do the dirty work for you! I thought I would get one in the last 8 weeks, but just never got around to it/don’t know where to go. So, here I am with longer hair than before!

My hair is definitely getting more fun. Before I pretty much had 1 style – straight-ish. I am able to really curl it now but also can really straighten it. It is also officially a headband (the kind that tucks behind your ears not around your whole head) only ponytail – as long as I keep the ponytail close to my neck (insert thumbs up emoji here).

It’s so weird looking back to pictures from a year ago when I was really rockin’ the pixie. It’s hard to believe that my hair was ever that short!

It should probably go without saying that I love my hair at every new stage and I’m grateful for healthy hair that grows “quick-ish”

So that is pixie update #9! 11 months in and itching for a change but loving where we’re at.

Happy Day!

It’s been two months since my last update (plus a few days since I posted a little bit after these pictures were taken) but yay for longer hair! I’m getting excited to actually go somewhere to get it trimmed. Don’t get me wrong, my husband cut my hair wonderfully while I had the pixie and while I was growing it out, but when it gets a little longer it will be tougher for him to cut. So I guess I will go to a salon!

What do you think? Should I keep it growing or cut it back to what it was at 28 weeks? I need your opinion – or I will probably just keep growing it out for.ev.er.

My hair is getting harder to style now that it’s longer. I actually have to blow dry it and straighten it for fancier events. Before I could just let it air dry and it would look fine. My hair naturally curls out at the bottom (you can see it in the photos) so I feel like I’m always working on curling that part under.

I really love being able to pull back my hair for working out and sweating though. It makes life much easier and less yucky.

Happy Thursday!
