Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Is there a way to get my hair to grow faster? I got a really bad haircut and I can't wait until it grows back out!
 
Whenever we get bad haircuts, the first thing we think about is how badly we want our hair to grow back. I remember one time junior year of high school, I got a haircut that transformed me into a boy, basically, so I started researching EVERYTHING I could do to make it grow back immediately. I had no time to spare.
 
A few things I found that definitely helped me included: eating healthy, exercise, trims and vitamins. Believe it or not, a healthy lifestyle helps more than just your figure—it can also help your hair. I never believed my mom when she told me that, but it’s actually true. Maintaining a good diet and exercise routine will allow those locks to shine and grow.
 
Another thing that’s important is to get trims when you notice that you have split ends. I know you may be thinking that’s crazy and you don’t want it any shorter, but it’s really important that your hair is healthy so it can grow longer and faster. If your hair is dead at the end, it will stay that length. Vitamins B and E are also really good supplements for your hair.
 

These are all ways to help your hair grow faster, but also remember that heat products like blow dryers and straighteners only damage your hair and will not allow it to get healthy or grow faster. Perhaps this is a time to test out the fashion statement of a fun hat or cute hair clips? Best of luck!

I want to grow my hair down to my hips but my hair is only a little bit past my shoulders. I wash my hair every other day, I don't blow dry my hair much but I do get split ends like crazy. When I get split ends, my hair is split end city! I wear my bangs that are grown out with the rest of my hair, up in a barret everyday. Is there any way to have my hair grow down to my hips? Help!




I suggest you find a conditioner that is leave in that will help with the split ends. Also occasional trims will help it grow out faster and get rid of those split ends. Good luck! xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD I have long hair and split ends. I really wanted to grow my hair out, but now I kind of regret it. Like, it takes fifteen minutes to wash my hair in the shower and it gets really tangled up. Should I cut it short like I used to have it or should I not?

 

 

Hey chica! Split ends can be a pain. But, you can eliminate them by getting regular trims. You don't have to get a lot chopped, just an inch every 4-6 weeks. And, your hair will feel a whole lot better!

My sister had a friend who had a baby, and she was taking these pills after the birth that made hair and nails grow twice as fast as normal! But I don't suggest taking that unless you just had a baby, and hopefully you haven't...

I have short hair with side bangs and if it air dries it looks really weird and even if I blow dry it it looks weird. I really hate having to get up really early and blow dry and straighten it do you have any tips?




You can try to braid it and see how that makes it look. That normally works for me. When my hair is wet and i dont want it to do anything too weird ill braid it and it dries wavy. Also clips and headbands will help. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Hey girl,

I think fuller hairstyles will balance out your facial features with their volume! But remember that your face is your own and that's a pretty special thing...don't try to hide it Smile

MOD: (Or anyone who has an answer can comment on my profile)
Okay, so my hair is really dull, what can i do to get it to be shiny and soft? (Actually i have the soft part, i want it to LOOK soft)




Hey chica,

My advice would be to check the drugstore for a conditioner designed for soft, shiny hair. They're out there for sure! You could also try using a deep conditioner once a week {you put it in and leave it for about 15 minutes, then wash it out} for extra softness Smile

MOD MOD MOD! When I take a shower at night, blowdry and maybe straighten it (depending if I'm lazy or not), everytime I wake up...my hair gets greasy again. I used to wash my hair every other day to prevent damage put now I have to wash it everyday to prevent grease and it's annoying! How can I get my hair to not be greasier when I wake up in the morning? Thanks! Smile

 

 

Hey girly! You can always buy dry shampoo, or use baby powder to give your hair some more volume. Just use baby powder on your roots, and brush it through. You can get dry shampoo for cheap at Sally Beauty Supply. You just spray it in and then brush it through Smile

mod mod mod i have a perm in my hair and i really want to grow it out natural but when ever i discuss it with my mom she is always saying my hair is to thick and i need a perm to control it plz help what should i do?

 

 

Hey chica! It's your hair, so you should be able to do what you want with it. I would have a sit down with your ma, and let her know that while your hair may be thick, you're ready to tackle it on your own, and you won't mind spending the time doing it. You can even ask your hair stylist for suggestions on products to use to manage it naturally, rather than having another perm.

Getting your hair trimmed does make your hair grow faster. By trimming it,you get rid of the dead stuff that prevents it from growing. My hair dresser told me that. Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! Please help! I have had HUGE sweat stains since about 11/12. I thought it was just another phase, hormones, blah. And then I got my period in May (I am 13 now) and I still get them. Is this just a phase? Will it go away? Or will it be like this forever? They are super embarrassing and prevent me from wearing lots of cute clothes. Any tips? Is it my deodorant? HELP!!!




Hey hey,

Really intense sweating is actually more normal than you'd think - sometimes it's a phase we grow out of, but some girls deal with this all the time. Luckily, that means there are lots of options for ya! You could try clinical strength anti-perspirant {they have them at places like Target or pharmacies, or you could also get a prescription from your doc} or even sweat pads that will absorb the sweat before it hits your shirt. Also, wearing certain colors lets the sweat appear more easily than others {like grey} - so try varying up your wardrobe and, if possible, wear a light tee underneath your shirt to make it harder to show through.
