Tips for growing out a pixie?

[seven7devils]

Well, I don't know that I had a true pixie, but I'm trying to grow out my really short haircut. I feel like it's doing alright for now, but I want to avoid incredibly awkward hair.

Here are some pictures of my attempts at styling. I'd love some input/recommendations from you guys!

The pink sweater is where my hair started and then the other two are from this month. One where my hair is straight, which is my natural texture, and the other is where I curled it with a straightener.

I'm sorry if these pictures are huge...

Biotin, time and cutting off the mullet.

I just kept growing the front of mine out and getting the back trimmed short every few weeks, so that it gradually made it to a bob but really tight in the back, if that makes sense. Every time I got the back cut my stylist had to do some hardcore blending on the sides and I wore it tucked behind my ears a lot.

This. At first I went with an inverted bob since I always kept the front longer. Once you get it to a bob, it is all down hill from there.

Also the use of hair accessories - that way you can place hair where you want it when you have an awkward length in one area.

No advice but I want to say I LOVE the way you have it now and the color!! Your eyes really pop!!

Thank you! I intend to keep the color, I just want longer hair for a change.

No advice but just wanted to compliment you. You are super cute!

Omg I loooove your hair - in all three styles! Fab makeup too!

No advice other than getting it cleaned up/trimmed regularly so you keep some shape and avoid the mullet.

I also just let the front go and got the back trimmed. I had a similar cut as you last summer and now it's almost to a bob. I used bobby pins and headbands a lot and wore it wavy (my natural texture) to cover up the shaggyness.

Yeah! This is really helpful! Thank you. I'm at the second picture in the top row. My finished product will probably somewhere around the first picture on the bottom row.
