Growing hair out can be frustrating, here are some tips for making life a little brighter.

About three times a week around here, either in an article or discussion board comment, or from one of the students in my class Finding the Right Hairstyle for You! I get a question something like . . . “I’m growing hair out, how do I cope while waiting for my hair to grow out?”

There are several things that I recommend

• Change your hairstyle often, try lots of new things during each new stage, who knows maybe you’ll find the unexpected hairstyle that looks spectacular on youTips for Growing
  Hair Out
• Pay attention to any hairstyle that gets compliments from any source. A compliment should be a great tip off, that a hairstyle really looks great on you.
• Do lots of fun stuff . . . tie in a scarf, try a hair extension, anrdoezrs, wear hair accessories and hair thingees often.
• Experiment with some different hair colors. Use semi-permanent hair color that shampoos-out easily and quickly.
• Clip out a picture of the new hairstyle you are longing for and post it on your mirror to keep you positive and determined.
• Take a multi-vitamin daily
• Gently massage the scalp often (hair dressers receive special training on scalp message for a reason, it helps promote healthy hair and hair growth)
• Drink lots of water
• Keep your hair moisturized with a good moisturizer like Paul Mitchell Super-Charged Moisturizer
• Condition, condition condition
• Don’t set the clock back - Damage is your worst enemy during this stage.
  • Trim damaged ends often
  • Avoid hairstyles that pull too tightly, or stretch or snap the hair. Even a simple ponytail can be damaging to your hair if not done with care.
  • Avoid overprocessing
  • Minimize stress
    • Shampoo only as often as necessary
    • No rubbing with the towel
    • Don’t over expose your hair to the sun.
  • Avoid any harsh chemical treatments
    • No perms
    • No hair straightening treatments
    • Easy on highlighting
• Hold up on taking out a second mortgage for some snake oil salesman who claims he has a product that will make your hair grow faster.
