Alexa Demie's grown-out crop is giving 90s boyband bob
One of the biggest considerations when one goes short, is growing it out. What will you do in awkward in-between stages when your pixie is giving Harry Potter in Goblet of Fire? Or your bob is giving... Ron in Goblet of Fire (why did no one in that film have a haircut?). Well, after delighting everyone with a super short crop this time last year, Alexa Demie has shown there needs be no fear when growing it out, offering up an impossibly cool style for every stage of growth.
Then again, it is Alexa Demie... but it gives us hope.
The Euphoria actor just posted to Instagram showing her grown-out crop is now an arty bob that wouldn't look out of place in a remake of Chicago.

But it's also super versatile, because in the next fluffed-up story, it's an iconic 90s boyband bob. Alexa Demie mixed with Demi Moore, with a healthy dash of Winowna Ryder.

It's such a different look from the super short debut this time last year, with a tightly-cropped pixie and extreme micro-fringe.

By the fall, she worked the re-growth into some Old Hollywood curls for a goth-meets-Betty-Boop moment.

But, one style we can't ignore that's genius for transitioning between short lengths...
