Do you ever have hair cut remorse? yes, it's a thing.
Crossing my fingers that these tips will do the trick to have longer luscious hair by bikini season. Long wavy summer hair is too easy and sexy to miss out on.
Here are some tips to get that short hair where it needs to be and grow it out long and healthy.
Trim it. I know I know it hurts, you just got it past your shoulders. However, if you don't get a trim it's going to start splitting and become more unhealthy and stop growing fast. If you must call it "dusting" to make the appointment, call it that.
Eat protein. After all, your hair is made of protein! Make sure that you are eating enough healthy protein from eggs and meats.
Condition. Make sure your hair is not dry. Conditioning the ends will discourage breakage.
Protect. If you're heating it often make sure you are protecting it with a spray. Also, try not to shower with scalding water, which similarly damages hair.
Massage. Stimulate your head to promote hair growth.
I just hope and pray? (: I cut my hair off to a boy cut last May, and it's been a struggle waiting for it to grow out. That awkward phase, where's it's like Mo's cut from The Three Stooges, really had me struggling. I kept crying and had to remind myself that it was just a phase. And alas! I've made it out of the bob and into short hair, finally. ^.^ If my hair didn't go to be donated, I would've never done it. But, it's growing back, and you'll bet I'll use these tips!
ReplyDeleteI also switched to a cruelty-free bar shampoo (not LUSH, but I've heard their's are great!), and my hair's gotten softer, and the roots less greasy/dandruff-y. I'm loving the transition, but I'll have to see how it helps in the long-run. Still, cruelty free is a much better trade off! :D
I'll have to try that shampoo! Congrats on your hair getting to short hair! I hate that in between phase too! XO

Thanks Mel! I hope it works!
DeleteHi Chloe! I'm told time and time again by my stylists that regular trims are the key to growing hair -- which seems so counterintuitive, but whatever. :) I love long hair!
ReplyDeleteI know it's always so painful, but in the end worth it! :)
DeleteIt's so ironic how trimming is one of the best things to help your hair grow healthy and faster. So funny how we get so attached to our hair :)
