Have you ever wanted to grow out a cut, but got frustrated 10 or 12 weeks into the process? If you have, you know the deal. You skip a cut and then your hair gets bulky, heavy or floppy and you feel like it wont do anything.
What usually happens next? You know. A frantic call to your stylist to get the first available appointment, and you ask for your old cut.
As a stylist, I am thrilled to see my guests as often as possible, (if ya know what I mean). Yet, I too, get bored with cutting and styling the same styles month after month, and am often looking to change your style. Making changes keeps interest in your grooming process, and tends to get the attention of others. Don’t we all love a compliment? Here are a few ideas to keep you happy and good looking while you are in the midst of a style change.
1. Blunt hairstyles grow out easier than layered cuts do, so go for a stronger bottom line. You can still have layers, just be open to cutting the really straggly ones off as soon as they become a problem. This will greatly support the growing out process.
2. Keep your hair in really, really great condition. Take the extra time to use deep conditioners, the Redken Chemistry system or Surface organic treatments add strength, supple shine and bounce. Now there are even more deep conditioners for your at home regimen.
3. Stretch out your haircut appointments by a week or two, and get a head start on growing. This does not mean to give up cutting your hair. As a matter of fact, your stylist can recommend a schedule that will meet the requirements for your future look while keeping a neatly groomed appearance.
4. Make sure you get a plan of action with your stylist, who can guide you from one style to another while you are growing out your hair.
Nothing looks worse or is harder to maintain than a haircut that has just been left alone. You may think it takes longer to do it this way, but you will always look your best and never feel yucky or frumpy while you are growing out your lovely locks. Not to mention that split ends left alone only split more, making your hair look worse while the growing is going.
5. Look for middle of the road styling techniques and cuts. You know, something that helps along the way. Headbands are still one of my favs and are still, hot this season. This will make a huge difference, and, in the end, you may decide to return to one of these looks.
I really hope that some of these tips are helpful for you while you are trying out a new doo! Have a beautiful day!
