Tips to Grow Your Hair Out

Thought that pixie would be a good idea for summer? Maybe it was, but winter is now upon us. Your neck is cold, and you realize that you look bald when you put on a winter hat — not exactly the look you were going for when you had it chopped off in June.

Growing out short hair is a pain in the bare neck. Whenever you're tempted to cut it again, follow these few tips to get you through:

1. Headbands, bobby pins, repeat.

2. Now's the time to rock a head scarf like no other.

3. If you can stand it, leave a few days between washings. Dirty in-between hair will look a little more punk rock.

4. Be sure to keep the back of your hair in check with the front. A mullet never looked good on anyone. Spot trim as needed.

5. Going crazy? Put the scissors down and experiment with color instead.

6. If all else fails, wear a hat until it's over (bald-esque or not).
