While growing out your tresses can be frustrating, it can still be done. Here’s a hair care guide on how to go from short or mid-length to long and flowing without going nuts.
(1) If you don’t already have one, get a starter haircut that doesn’t need trims every few weeks to look its best. Simple and versatile cuts that can be pulled up, clipped back, or secured in a ponytail will give you more options on those days when your hair feels like an overgrown garden.
(2) Damaged hair needs special attention before it starts to grow. Unhealthy hair grows more slowly and can break off, defeating your purpose. Go to a stylist for correction so you’ll be starting with a clean slate
