EASY HAIRSTYLES FOR AWKWARD LENGTHS | hairstyles to hide awkward layers + post chemo hair growth

[@pamjackson7034]

Hi Lauren. I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer March 2019. I had my last chemo treatment this past February. I was looking for hairstyles for short hair (I have always had long hair) and I came across your video. I just wanted to thank you for posting and let you know that you are a very inspiring young lady! So, thank you and prayers for your continued remission!

[@LaurenMae16]

First of all, congrats on finishing chemo I hope you are doing well!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. Prayers to you for continued remission as well!

@pam Bilateral her2 er stage 2 grade 3 2023. My hair doesn't want to grow. It has finally reached three inches but still seems to break and come out again. so frustrating. I had long hair too. How is your hair growth now? @Lauren, thank you for the great video. I just got some rhinestone bobby pins to try to look nice at Easter.

[@ainsleamacdonald1040]

I’m almost 6 months post chemo and my texture is identical to yours!

[@LaurenMae16]

Glad to know I’m not the only one!!!

[@mamabino]

When my sisters hair grew back after chemo is was super curly. She had always had straight hair, so it was surprising. After a few years, her hair returned to its normal texture.

[@kristismith6556]

My hair is doing the exact same thing.

[@melhere6446]

I shaved my hair I have not gone through chemo, but, my hair seems to be doing the same thing

[@karma_giirl]

You look just like Emma Watson sometimes, that's crazy!! You look gorgeous!! (Love from France 🇨🇵)

[@sophievanlent9042]

Those pig tails!!! Girl these hairstyles are going to save me! THANK YOU! I got a pixie cut in September and now it’s at the awkward/mullet stage lol

[@Lanaa1227]

Hey how long is ur hair now??

[@Lettibrow]

No chemo here, but I shaved my hair off last year and my hair is at this stage of growth, my hair is straight on top and super curly in the back. It bothers me lol, idk what to do with my hair anymore

[@leighannmcgowan5239]

Same here ughhh it's so frustrating

[@melhere6446]

Me too

[@marietc3676]

I’m 10 months post chemo and I’m really struggling with the awkward mullet phase 😂😂 thanks for the video !

[@loudmouthtarot864]

I’m growing out a mullet and have been so frustrated and feeling so down about my hair and this made me feel a lot better. Ty!! 💕💕

[@libeejay]

Okay no joke ever since I first saw this video I've been doing the hat trick EVERY. DAY. It is a LIFESAVER. I now have a cute collection of caps that look so cute with the little pigtails! TYSM!

[@LaurenMae16]

YAY I'm so happy to hear that!! ❤️

[@charlotteschneider1932]

It’s been 6 months of hair growth for me after my BMT and my texture is so similar to yours! The length is very mullet like right now which is how I found your page and I’m excited to try these out!

[@haylee.strange]

First of all, you're an absolute doll. I haven't had to go through chemo, but I had an impulsive emotional breakdown at 3am one night and chopped off all my hair. Silly me. Its been tough to figure out how to style it, but you're right. Bobby pins have been my best friend. I'm really excited to try out a head scarf and get some cute hair clips to do some of those styles. Thank you for sharing, girl!

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you so much!!

[@tabz83]

I had no idea you were a cancer survivor fellow cancel Survivor right here my last treatment was May 6th so I'm also going through the weird stages I don't know if I want to keep it short but I also don't know what to do with these weird layers thank you for making these videos and I hope you are good and stay healthy and you are in my prayers girl❤

[@michellewhite2569]

Thank YOU SO MUCH for doing this video !! I am seriously on the post chemo hair struggle bus and have been at a total loss what to do with my hair. This was a huge help. Bless you !!

[@jacquelineparedes1337]

I love the pig tails and the cap hair style... so cute!! I can’t wait to try, one month post chemo over here 🙋🏽‍♀️ I’m in the baby fuzz stage lol but being patient 🤞🏼

[@LaurenMae16]

Yes I remember that stage! You’ll be at 10 months before you know it, it grows so fast!!

[@jacquelineparedes1337]

Lauren Mae I hope so 😭

[@teryahlee3390]

Yessssss

[@angelab.2843]

My last chemo was at the end of October 2023. My hair has grown back super curly. I use a head wrap at night on dry hair. This seems to help flatten down the wild curl pattern and keeps it from sticking up at crazy angles. I also try not to brush it to much as that seem to create a frizzy effect. Thanks for giving us surviors real time help with our chemo curl issues. God bless you.

[@ajp3247]

Okay this helped so much! My hair is at a weird length after growing out from my pixie cut. I had no clue how to style it and it was making me mad. This helped so much!

[@Itsnaomita]

Im a year since finishing chemo and I find it so hard to do cute hairstyles at this length! Love the ideas!

[@LaurenMae16]

So glad they helped!!

[@hagdss]

im 9 months post chemo and have been looking for hair advice thank you you have help so much 💖

[@KristenBlue]

Thank you for doing this! I always had long curly hair until I lost it all with chemo....and have had truly no idea how to style short hair, so this is really helpful! I am at about this length and same curly in the back, straight up top/front texture.

[@jaceylynn429]

I am almost a year out of chemo and needed this!!! Thank you 💙 I hope you’re doing well!

[@cpaigemcd]

Thank You for this! I have experienced hair loss due to surgery so I cut a short pixie about 4 months ago and it’s definitely getting awkward. ❤🙏🙏🙏

[@shaniahardie5219]

I shaved my head last year and it’s about the length of yours now so glad I found this video

[@brunyswildeyes69]

I have a pixie cut that is growing out and my hair is super wavy and textured in the back and bone straight on top. I’m so loving your hair ideas. Thank you thank you for sharing.

[@LaurenMae16]

Of course!!

[@teasha6347]

Adore the hair style with the pigtails and cap!!

[@Mro183]

I came here coz I damaged my hair being impulsive. Feeling a bit silly seeing you growing your hair out from something so serious. Sending you lots of love, you look beautiful xx

[@anthonylewis62]

Suzanne here, bless your heart, i lost all my hair when my son died in jan of 2022, stress dr said of course, so i can relate to a horrible thing, for you, your hair is adorable, i had mine buzz cut, so it is taking a lot of time to grow out, so i took some advise and used coconut oil and it WORKS, for stress related fall out, too cute, love you girl, mines about 3 inches long now, in a short time, so i am using bobby pins and clips, and twists, its kinda fun, till it grows back to shoulder length, again, God bless you sweety!!!!!!!

[@LaurenMae16]

[@LaurenMae16]

[@beealexanders2450]

MY AUNT TERRY DIED JANUARY 4TH SHE HAD BREAST CANCER IM VERY SICK FROM GRIEF IM SUPER STRESSED IM GLAD YOU ARE DOING WELL❤

[@Alicia.Cortez]

LOVED THIS

[@caitlinadalton]

I never experienced chemo however I had to go through a lot of CAT scans and MRIs. Like one a week for a few months. And I noticed that random spots on my headHave wiry hair. My hair is usually pin straight . I wonder if it will end up being curly. I know anesthesia and radiation from imaging tests can damage your hair texture so it is what it is but I do hope it ends up looking cute like yours 💕

[@caitlinadalton]

I personally love the hair scarfs the best

[@sarajane9733]

Love this! Can you bring back your Christmas Vlogs? They were so much fun to watch!

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you!! And aww maybe I will! ♥️

[@Privaternutzer12312]

Now I regret that I did a trim on my neck hair 🥲 this hairstyle with the cap looks incredible but now my hair is too short again and I could cry

[@LaurenMae16]

It's okay try again when it grows out more!

[@mbz1026]

But my hair is frizzy. Was never frizzy just wavy. What about that? I cannot put anything with oil on my scalp

[@Star-dj1kw]

You have beautiful eyes and eyebrows

[@kit4206]

Kind of off topic but i gink its too cute not to share. When i was little my mom used to do my hair. And very often i asked for those little buns and we called them 'ogre/shrek buns' cause they kind of looked like shreks ears. (In german tho 'oger/shrek zöpfechen'). And i just think thats so cute :)

[@LaurenMae16]

So cute!!

[@A_Bagel]

I have super straight hair, so the sides of my hair look so bad growing out. If there was texture, it might be better but dang.

[@anniethompson9207]

You are so cute..love the hair ties..🤗

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you! 🤗

[@hotcheetoslover]

My hair is literally at this stage right now 😅

[@ramblerjambler9528]

I am growing out a pixie and I have been doing the tiny pony and little buns forever bc the hair in my face drives me NUTS. Sadly, they definitely aren't as cute on me 😆

[@bluej7922]

its hard because my hair is curly and frizzy and i have a fivehead. i think ill just buy a wig

[@oliviacobb9188]

We have the same hair😱

[@LaurenMae16]

Ahh!!
