Growing out your hair is an exciting time but there are some things that can make this time easier for you! Here are some tips for making the awkward stages of the hair growth process a little less awkward:

It’s not a race.

• Don’t get discouraged if your hair doesn’t grow as fast as you want it to. Remember, it takes time for your hair to grow out and become longer than it is now. You can’t rush this process! Your goal should be to have patience with yourself, because eventually your hair will get there–and when it does, you’ll be so glad that you didn’t stress out or try any crazy things like cutting off all of your hair in frustration (or worse).

Don’t cut it or color it.

When you’re in the awkward stage, it’s tempting to want to do something about your hair. You may feel like cutting it or coloring it will make you feel better about your appearance. But this is not the time to do either of those things! The best thing that you can do while growing out your hair is simply leave it alone–no matter how much it annoys or frustrates you.

If we had a nickel for every time someone told us “You should dye your roots,” we’d be able to buy a yacht by now (okay maybe not quite). However much sense this makes on paper (or on screen), we promise: dyeing won’t help and will only make matters worse when they start regrowing again shortly after being dyed back in place anyway!

Take care of your hair.

You should also be taking care of your hair. Here are a few tips:

• Wash your hair every 1-2 days. This will keep it from getting too oily and greasy, which can make it hard for you to style in the first place.
• Use a good conditioner after washing with shampoo, then let the conditioner sit on your hair for 5 minutes before rinsing off (don’t use more than once per week).
• Use a good shampoo that doesn’t contain sulfates or parabens; they’re not good for skin or scalp health! Some shampoos I recommend include Aveda Shampure Cleansing Shampoo ($28), Davine’s Oi All In One Milk ($32), Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk ($10) and Bumble & Bumble Sunday Shampoo ($30).

Get some extensions or clip in extensions.

If you’re looking for a quick way to get your hair longer without having to wait for it to grow out naturally, extensions are a great option. They come in all different lengths, colors and textures so that you can choose the ones that match your natural hair best. You can even use them as an opportunity to experiment with new looks!

Do you really want to grow your hair out?

You may be asking yourself, “Do I really want to grow my hair out?”

If the answer is yes, then great! But if not, then don’t force it. Maybe you’re growing your hair out because it’s trendy and everyone else is doing it. Or maybe you just want a change from short hair–that’s OK too! But before making any decisions about what length of hair will be best for you, think about why exactly you want long locks in the first place. Is it because they look cool? Do they make you feel more feminine or confident? Is there some other reason entirely?

You’d be surprised how many people will tell you how much you “look” like [insert celebrity here] when you’ve got longer hair.

You’d be surprised how many people will tell you how much you “look” like [insert celebrity here] when you’ve got longer hair. This is a good thing, because it gives you confidence and makes the awkward stage less awkward. You’ll feel better about yourself, which means that it’s easier for your hair to grow out of its awkward stage!

Growing out your hair is an exciting time but there are some things that can make this time easier for you!

• It’s not a race. You don’t need to grow it all the way down to your waist in a couple of months, so don’t rush it and end up cutting off all that progress because you were impatient.
• Don’t cut or color your hair until after growing out the awkward stage (and even then, only if you really want to). This will keep the length consistent and prevent breakage during this crucial growth period. Also, if you do decide to go short again someday, it will be easier since everything should still be healthy from growing out its natural state instead of being damaged by chemicals or heat styling tools like curling irons or straighteners.* Take care of your locks! Feed them with nutrient-rich foods like fruits and vegetables; treat them gently with moisturizing conditioners; avoid harsh shampoos (especially those containing sulfates) which strip away essential oils needed for healthy growth; try using products designed specifically for curly/wavy/frizzy types so they don’t further tighten curls into coils which can lead towards breakage when brushed too much.* Get some extensions or clip ins! If having long flowing locks isn’t really something important enough for me personally then I might as well just invest money into something else instead such as extensions since they look great too 🙂

I hope this article has helped you to understand the awkward stage of growing out your hair. If you’re looking for a quick fix, I would suggest getting some clip-in extensions or even going with some weaves! They will make your life so much easier, especially if you have short hair like me!
