Growing out a style/cut/layers Group

[kizzylonghair]

Hi,

I have decided nearly 7 weeks ago that I am growing out my bob
I have loved having it but its time for a change, I just cant stand the GROWING OUT phaseI can't wear it down, one side is way longer than the other and the back is lopsided

I am really happy with the growth I have got!!! But I need it quicker to look half decent again

What Style are u trying to grow out?
A bob with short layer back and longer front

How are you styling your hair?
I am using hinged clips that gently hold my hair up in a messy bun, I like the style. I am trying to stay away from pulling my hair in a ponytail, there is not much of it so it puts strain on my hair.(esp hairline) Caused a lil damage when I was growing out a few years ago


Any pics?
of my bob...yes (Attached)


Any growing out styling suggestions?
Everyone different but the tight ponytails, forcing my short hair into one did more harm than good (Edges)

What are you doing to speed up your growth?
Vitamin regime, plus protein shake

Whats your goal length?
Shoulder Length first! ALL my hair not just the front


YOUR TURN:woohoo2:

Right now nothing but trying to get healthy as possible and get the water down.

Thanks, chica. I have been shorter than that. I am hardly ever afraid to take the plunge. Good luck with you as well.

Labella, I am loving the bob, it look SO lush, But I know how you feel.
Sometime us women just got to have change, ESP know we know we can (Grow it long that is)

Good tip about stalking always helps and keeps me on track, Wish I could wear scarfs to work!!

Hey, I wish I was shoulder length feels years away!!
You are right to baby your ends as thats what will become your length some day, sometimes starting at a shorter length could be more benefical as you are not trying to correct any bad habits you have done to your hair, I know now that any inches I get have been treated well

I need to get me a scaft to

What Style are u trying to grow out?
A bob thats shorter in the back, longer on one side..and not as healthy as I would like

I've tried it all....wet buns, weaves, braids, etc. Currently in a sew-in, but I am taking it out because it is too tight and i dont want breakage.


Any pics?
Having trouble uploading a pic


Any growing out styling suggestions?
Avoid heat as much as possible

What are you doing to speed up your growth?

[blessedandlucky]

What Style are u trying to grow out?
A bob, longer in the front, shorter in the back

How are you styling your hair?
I current co-wash daily due to my intense workouts. I'll wear a wig when working, otherwise, just a head scarf. I'd like to do a bantu knot-out, haven't gotten it to look good yet. A phony pony works too for a quick, cute look, but I'm trying to leave the ponies alone

Any pics?

Any growing out styling suggestions?
I need some suggestions, lol.

What are you doing to speed up your growth?
Vitamins, exercise, co-washes

Whats your goal length?
BSL

Any growing out styling suggestions? i love using weaves and half wigs!!!!
What are you doing to speed up your growth? MT, OCT, GNC Ultra Hair
Whats your goal length? MBL

 

[Solitude]

What Style are u trying to grow out?
A chin length bob that had LOTS of layers, wore that for 3 or 4 years in college. My hair is SL now, but the layers are still very visible.

How are you styling your hair?
Clipped up or hidden under my phony pony.
Or "blownout" or curly after a rollerset.
Currently a sew-in.

Any pics?
Yes - attached pic is from my undergrad days

Any growing out styling suggestions?
Embrace bobby pins to help you pin up your different lengths of hair & protect your ends. Rollersets are great, too!

What are you doing to speed up your growth?
At first I did scalp massages and lots of vitamins. Now I'm going for low-manipulation & protective styles. I got tired of all the vits

Whats your goal length?
APL next. I'll actually be quite happy with that. Long term - WL
