Had a bleached blonde pixie style and want to grow it out - how?!

I went from below shoulder length 3 colour highlights to this. I do like it but am bored. I don’t know how to grow it out! I want it longer again but don’t know how to stop the bleach cycle (it’s every 4 weeks!) and how to grow it out… do I grow it while bleaching - it is very healthy hair apparently - then tackle the colour?

Picture would help.

You could start getting highlights on regrowth rather than fully bleach them. Then when it grows again get fewer highlights then maybe when it's longer get lowlights to blend it all together and grow it out naturally.

Leave that one with me I’ve literally just got home from a 30 hour journey back from a holiday. Photos have made me realise that I think longer hair suits me but there is no way you’re getting a photo of me right now🤣😳

Depends what you’re trying to get to. Do you want longer bleached hair? If growing out you can probably extend the time between bleaching to 6-10 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows, your natural
colour and you preference. Growing out is a bit of a pain but doable. Florence Pugh, Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan possibly good inspiration for styles along the way.
