My hair is crazy! I’m trying to grow it out for the first time in FOREVER and it’s just a disaster right now. I need to get it cut/styled ASAP! Any ideas for what I should do? I’m thinking longer bangs, some layers on the way down? I don’t know, I usually have my hair very short, but I’m interested in trying something new…
What I’m wearing:
Gap straight leg jeans
Melissa recycled/recyclable Sin sandals
James Perse white tank top
Fox in Mociun organic cotton tote (50% off at Totokaelo now)
I know the pain of the in-between hair stage. I HATE it. But if you want to grow out your hair there’s no way around it. I try to get haircuts that grow out easily in order to eliminate the pain of this in between stage. Layers are the best for this.
I had a bob for a while and wanted to grow it out so once my hair reached a little past my shoulders I got soft long layers (shortest starting at about the chin). These looked cute and grew out in a relatively painless way (not very awkward looking). I visited the salon a few times before my hair reached mid-back length to clean-up my layers and insert more as it grew longer but other than that it was pretty easy.
As for the bangs, yours look kind of long already so sweeping them to the side might be something new to try.
good luck! love the sandals, btw.
i’m growing out from a bob too! (my twitter avatar is basically how it used to look) i’m definitely going to do layers. and actually i had my bangs kind of pulled to the side today, but they fell down LOL – thanks so much for your input!
I was doing a long side swept bang while my hair was growing out but I liked it enough that I still request it every time I get a cut. (ps..love the shoes).
these shoes are the best! i used to have longer, side swept bangs, but i got so used to having short bangs, i forgot that i can do that now!
I’m with them! Do the sideswept bangs and have your stylist angle them so that they are shorter in the middle and longer on the sides. It makes the growing-out process easier. (But as soon as I get there, I always cut my hair again…que sera!).
omg, i totally know that once my hair is grown out for a while, i’m going to get tired of it and cut it all off again…i always end up going back to a short bob. it just suits me. but i’m feeling adventurous now, and am ready for something different! thanks for your input 🙂
Different subject: I know how much you love James Perse (no offense to your fiance)and since you’re pretty much an expert on the subj., which of his v-neck tees runs the longest? I need something for my long torso. Thanks Grechen!
that’s a hard question LOL. all of my JP tees are actually pretty long on me, but i think i have a short torso (?) but the longest is my 100% supima crew neck tee – i think it’s this one: http://www.jamesperse.com/women/t-shirts/short-sleeve-scoop-neck/viewProduct.do?productId=prod310091 – but that is obviously not a v-neck! maybe try the casual v-neck, my casual u-neck tees are long…
