Hate my haircut- spock

[Carbaholic876]

It's basically this except with slightly longer sides- they're about halfway down my ear.
Thought it would look trendy as a 'micro bob' but obviously not long enough.
I had a short pixie cut almost 12 weeks ago (early March) and this is the growth so far.
Can't do anything with it, all I do is shove it back in a headband which makes it look like I've got no hair as it just lays flat on my head.
Will still be a good 2 months before it's even a short bob.
Had it trimmed today but it's hideous.
Sounds dramatic but I hate looking in the mirror. Don't know whether to just cut it short again or deal with this for another 2 months.

I'd probably ride it out for a few months with hats and hairbands. What happens if you rough it up a bit for texture? Does it have any volume or is it really straight and flat? My friend hated her pixie cut and wore a wig for three months so you are certainly not the only one!

Forget the headband, maybe channel the Boris messy look?? I mean, he usually looks like he gets a pudding bowl cut and just messes, possibly mousses, it up 😉

Style it out, headbands etc... Have got got a pic to see how you look irl as a non pouty model person?

Why did you have it trimmed again if you didn't like it in the first place , I'd try and let it grow out personally, hopefully it won't take long

Headbands just don't suit me for some reason. Makes me look like I've not got any hair too.
My hair is very straight. Maybe I should go for the Boris look!
Hair extensions are very tempting, it's just the money and maintenance

I know, it was just longer on one side so all I had was that side trimmed so they were equal, nothing else off

That is a bit harsh op. I know because I grew out a pixie during lockdown and my stylist just cut the back up to match the sides and I looked liked Edmund Blackadder. It gave my family a good laugh but not me. I honestly looked hideous. I just wanted a change tbh but my pixie suited me as I have a small face and features.

I put up with it for about 3 weeks then gave up and had layers put back in and a fresh pixie cut. It looked loads better.

Here's a real life pic!

Could you maybe quiff the front up a bit, backcomb it and pin it back with kirby grips?

Or use a shit tonne of product to quiff it up?

Looks nice to me!

The Pinterest says hairstyles for Vulcans 🤣

I would use a roundbrush and mousse and go for messy volume, the layers you have will help and the colour is really nice

Thank you, I'll try those suggestions!

Ok I see what you mean about a flat head band but what about one with a bow whilst you grow it out.

I'm in the same situation, having finished chemo three months ago. I look like a slightly ageing pixie (not great) but sooo much more comfortable than my flipping' wig.

I've bought myself a very cool black Panama hat (surprisingly expensive) and a variety of head bands (my hair has a slight wave so a bit of texture). Hair grows at about 3mm a week so maybe decide what you are aiming at (find a picture) and calculate how long it will take.

Maybe look up bandana hairstyles for pixie cuts, there are some cute options that would make use of your fringe

That's a lovely headband, I'll have a look one for one like that.
Great to hear you've finished chemo.
Hopefully it'll grow quickly!

The bandanas/ wide scarfy bow things are good for when the back starts growing more than anything else and it starts to get a bit mullety. The fabric can keep that bit off your neck and hide it a bit in the growimg in phase
