Growing long hair takes time, so take care of it and try out various styles while waiting. With a little creativity and patience, you’ll soon have your long hair back from that super short pixie cut!
Steps
Stimulate Hair Growth

Use conditioner after each wash. Conditioner replenishes the natural oils and proteins in your hair, which helps keep it strong and healthy. The healthier your hair, the faster it will grow. When in the shower, apply a generous amount of conditioner from the roots to the tips. Let it sit for 1-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Healthy hair grows faster and looks better.
- Conditioner also helps seal the cuticle, preventing future damage. If you can prevent hair damage, your hair will definitely grow longer.
- Make sure not to skip conditioner with every wash.

Use hair oil 1-2 times a week. Natural hair oils nourish hair follicles and roots, helping stimulate faster hair growth. Moisturize your hair with water or a spray bottle and apply a generous amount of oil throughout your hair. Let the oil absorb for about 10 minutes, then wash it out with shampoo and conditioner as usual.
- Your hair will start growing faster after a few weeks of using this treatment.
- You can either buy hair oil or make your own blend.
- To create your own hair oil, mix 1 cup (240 ml) of unrefined coconut oil with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of almond oil, macadamia oil, and jojoba oil. Stir the oils together and apply generously to your hair.

Adopt a healthy diet. Include plenty of protein, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and D in your meals. Besides a healthy daily diet, consume foods rich in vitamins that promote hair growth. Salmon is high in vitamin D and protein, eggs provide biotin and omega-3, and avocados are packed with essential fatty acids. These nutrients are all beneficial for hair and skin health. Incorporate these foods into your meals as much as possible to see faster hair growth. Healthy hair starts with a nutritious diet and proper hydration.
- Also, consider eating more sunflower seeds, almonds, yellow peppers, and sweet potatoes. Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E, almonds contain high amounts of biotin and protein, yellow peppers are loaded with vitamin C, and sweet potatoes help retain vitamin A.
- Dark leafy greens like spinach and broccoli are excellent choices due to their vitamin A and C content.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily.

Take biotin daily to promote hair growth. In addition to a healthy diet, you should consider taking vitamins that support healthy hair growth. Biotin is one of the vitamins known to help with hair growth and benefits the hair, skin, and nails. Biotin is a member of the B-vitamin group, naturally found in foods such as eggs, avocados, and salmon. For best results, take 1 tablet daily according to the instructions on the packaging.
- You can also purchase multivitamins formulated for hair, skin, and nails.
- While supplements are a great way to encourage hair growth, your body may take a few months to adjust and produce more hair. You should begin to see results within 2-3 months if taken daily.

Avoid using heat styling tools, hair straighteners, or hair dye. If you want your hair to grow faster, you must keep it as healthy as possible. Hair dye, chemical straighteners, and heat styling tools like curling irons and straighteners can damage your hair. To prevent unnecessary damage, it's best to avoid all chemical hair treatments and heat tools.
- If you can't resist the urge to style your hair regularly, consider giving your hair a deep conditioning treatment 1-3 times a week to help it recover from chemical treatments and heat tools. Apply conditioning cream from root to tip and let it absorb for 5-15 minutes before rinsing it out.
- Always use a heat protectant product before styling your hair with hot tools like blow dryers, straighteners, or curling irons.
Create different hairstyles

Change your part to try a new hairstyle. If you want a fresh look without the hassle, simply change your part! This technique will give you a new style without needing a haircut. Create a center part for a sleek, symmetrical look. Alternatively, you can move the part about 2.5-5 cm to the side for a more casual side part, or even go 5-10 cm for a deep side part.
- For example, try a deep side part if you're used to styling your short hair forward. Sweep the hair from the top of your head to one side and then part it.
- You can use your fingers or a comb to create the part.

Braid the front or side sections of your hair to cover up the "cowlick". Take a small section of hair, about 1.5-2.5 cm wide, and divide it into three equal parts. Hold the left section with your left hand and the right section with your right hand. Cross the left section over the middle one, then cross the right section over the middle part and continue braiding. Continue crossing the middle part over to the left side until you reach the end of the braid.
- If you have stubborn cowlicks sticking out along your hairline, you can easily incorporate them into the braid to keep them flat.
- Secure the braid with a small hair elastic, bobby pins, or decorative clips.

Tie your hair at the nape of your neck for a simple hairstyle. Once your hair is long enough to form a tiny ponytail, you can easily pull your hair back while waiting for it to grow. Just use your fingers to gather your hair at the back of your head and secure it with a small hair tie. This is a quick and simple solution while your hair grows out.
- Alternatively, you can create two side ponytails if that's easier for you. Divide your hair into two sections and tie them with hair elastics. Depending on the length of your hair, you can secure the ponytails either high on your head or low near your neck.
- You can also accessorize this hairstyle with hair accessories. Add a headband or drape a scarf over your ponytail for a stylish touch.

Use mousse to add volume and create a natural messy look. Spray a coin-sized amount of mousse into your palm and rub your hands together, then run your fingers through your hair to evenly distribute the product. Style your hair in various directions and use your fingers to tousle it. This technique will create a messy, textured look, and the mousse will help hold the style throughout the day.
- If needed, you can use hairspray to maintain the hold.
- You can also substitute mousse with hair gel. Hair gel works great for holding thicker or curly hair in place for longer periods.

Use gel and a comb to smooth down cowlicks and keep them in place. Cowlicks are small sections of hair that stick out in the opposite direction of the rest of your hair. To tame these unruly strands, use a medium-toothed comb to brush the hair in the desired direction. Then, take a small amount of gel (about the size of a coin) and apply it to the cowlicks.
- Use the comb to smooth down the hair and maintain the style.
- This technique will help control your cowlicks all day long. If you need extra hold, spray a little hairspray close to your roots.
- Cowlicks are hair sections that grow in the opposite direction of the surrounding hair.

Use a serum or anti-humidity cream if you're dealing with frizzy hair. If styling your hair on rainy days or hot weather feels like a challenge, try using anti-humidity gel, cream, or mousse instead of your usual products. Take a small amount, about the size of a coin, and rub it into your palms before applying it to damp hair. You can adjust the amount depending on your hair type.
- You can also use anti-humidity conditioner during your shower. This will help smooth your hair before the humidity kicks in.
- For example, you can use a small amount of anti-humidity serum, rub it into your palms, and apply it to damp hair, then finish with a light spray of anti-humidity hairspray.
- Anti-humidity products are available at most beauty stores.

Spray dry shampoo onto the roots for added volume. If you're worried about your hair falling flat, try using dry shampoo instead of regular shampoo. Spray it directly onto your roots and massage it in with your fingers. If you prefer, you can then use a brush to style your hair as desired. Your hair will hold its shape, and the dry shampoo will give it a bit of lift.
- If you want a more natural messy style, this is a great option.

Apply gel to slick your hair back for a sleek, polished look. Lightly mist your hair to add moisture, then take a coin-sized amount of gel and rub your palms together before running it through your hair from roots to ends. Use a medium-tooth comb to style it upwards from your hairline to the crown. Your hairstyle will stay in place all day long.
- This style is ideal for professional settings and evening events. A sleek, back-combed look gives off an elegant and sophisticated vibe.

Use gel or cream to spike your hair. This hairstyle will give you a rebellious and edgy look. A super short, spiked cut is perfect if you're aiming for a bold rocker-chick style. Simply apply a coin-sized amount of gel to your hands, rub them together, and then apply it to the tips of your hair. Pinch the ends of your hair between your thumb and forefinger, gently pulling them upward to create spikes. With just a bit of gel, you can turn your short hair into an eye-catching, sharp style.
- This style is perfect for a night out, a fun date, or going to a concert!
Add accessories

Use small hairpins or bobby pins to create a simple high bun. If you're aiming for a quick and easy everyday hairstyle, grab a few bobby pins or small pins and lift your hair into a high bun! Twist small sections of hair, around 1 cm in width, and pin them securely. Continue this process until your entire hair is pinned. This will give you a versatile high bun style!
- This hairstyle suits both office and casual looks.
- If you want more volume, you can tease your hair before pinning.
- Alternatively, you can just pin the bangs instead of the whole hair.

Try using a headband or hat. A headband or hat can help hide your hair if it’s of medium length. For a neat look even on days when your hair doesn't cooperate, all you need is a stylish headband or hat! You can choose from fabric headbands, metal, or plastic bands in various designs and colors. Try hats like fedoras, baseball caps, or berets. You can either place the headband over your hair or use it to press your hair down.
- If you’re using an elastic headband, slip it over your head and pull it back over your hair.
- For plastic or metal headbands, simply place them directly on your hair.
- Headbands work for both casual and elegant looks. You can opt for a bright-colored fabric headband for a laid-back style or choose a jeweled metallic one for a more sophisticated touch.
- Alternatively, you can use a bandana or scarf instead of a headband. Fold the scarf lengthwise into a strip of about 1.5 cm and tie it around your head. Make sure to knot it twice for security.

Experiment with hair extensions and wigs. If you're frustrated with flat hair, messy edges, or stubborn “cowlicks,” consider trying a wig or hair extensions! These options can provide a temporary solution while waiting for your hair to grow. However, wigs allow you to explore a variety of hairstyles and colors. Simply wear the wig over your natural hair or clip in extensions with ease.
- You can purchase wigs from beauty supply stores or online.
- Choose a wig that matches your natural hair color or try a bold new shade. Wigs and extensions let you enjoy experimenting with different looks.
Get a haircut

Find a hairstylist to assist you while your hair grows. If growing out your hair from a super short pixie cut feels impossible, consider searching online for local hairstylists and getting their help. A hairstylist can create a stylish haircut while you wait for your hair to grow. They can also offer advice and share hair styling tips during this transition.
- The process of growing out a pixie cut can be discouraging, and professional hairstylists completely understand your situation. They can help you maintain your beauty and support you throughout the growth period!
- Consider a short back and sides haircut with length on top. This way, your hair will naturally grow into a bob style.

Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks to maintain healthy locks. Regular trimming helps keep your hair in good condition and prevents split ends from getting worse, which can lead to hair breakage. To avoid this, regularly trimming the ends of your hair promotes healthy growth.
- You can either get your hair trimmed at a salon or consider trimming your ends at home.

Try an asymmetrical haircut. This style gives a unique and bold look. If you're growing out your hair and want to try something different, visit a salon to get an asymmetrical haircut. With this cut, the front section will be the longest, while the bangs will slant to one side. It's a striking style, and since the front is longer, you can easily transform this into a long bob.
- You may need the hair on the top of your head to grow longer for this style, but it will be a fun and unique look as you wait for your hair to grow.
