How to Grow Out Hairstyles
Coping with your hair while growing out a short style can be frustrating. The key is patience and a willingness to experiment. Be creative and keep your end goal in mind and you will be sporting long locks before you know it. Consult your stylist on your intended style. She can let you know if it is realistic for your hair type and facial structure. It will also help her to cut your hair into a transitional style over the months, adding or eliminating layers depending on what you would like your long style to look like. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips to Deal with Growing out your Hair
-
1
Continue to get your hair trimmed regularly. It's tempting to skip trims to preserve what length you have, but what you gain in length, you lose in condition and shape. Regular salon visits can keep your hair from looking shapeless and prevent split ends

Experiment with barrettes and headbands. One of the difficulties of growing out a cut is dealing with hair that strays onto your face or unruly layers that you don't know what to do with. Cute barrettes can tame strays. Headbands create a sleek polished look.

Try different hair products to create texture. Don't restrict yourself to products you used with your shorter style. Try a mousse for volume, scrunching spray for curls or waves or silicone serum for smoothness, depending on what works with your hair texture.

Use scarves or hats to pull your hair away from your face. Scarves are an inexpensive solution and add flair to any outfit. You can make a fashion statement while tucking your hair securely away. Or comb your hair back, spray with hairspray to hold in place and add a jaunty hat

If you really can't bear to wait, talk to your hair professional about extensions. Extensions are available in a variety of styles and price points, but be sure that your stylist is experienced to ensure that the extensions match your natural hair in color and texture and to prevent hair damaged caused by faulty technique.
