1. Grow Your Hair out with Regular Trims
This step may seem counter-productive, however, opting for regular trims is the best way to keep your hair looking healthy. Split ends are not your friend and if you leave them to grow you’ll end up chopping more hair off in the long run.
2. Get Creative with Styling
Getting creative with styling can help create a range of new looks without actually having to head to the salon. If you’re growing out a fringe, try pinning it or braiding it back when it gets to that awkward in-between stage. Changing your part is another simple yet effective styling tip.

3. Use Protective Styling Products
Damaged hair is not a good look for anyone. When growing your hair out, keep it looking its best by using protective styling products, especially if you blow dry or straighten your hair on a regular basis. Hair needs to be strong to grow long, and using protective products will help you reach your goal.
4. Wash Hair Every Two to Three Days
Washing hair every day can strip its natural oils off, making it look tired, dull and dry. When waiting for your hair to grow out, aim to wash your hair every two to three days as this will allow the natural oils to do their work.
5. Use Deep Conditioning Treatments
Pamper your hair once a week by using a deep conditioning treatment. This will help strengthen hair and hopefully undo any damage that’s been done during the week. This is a both a preventative and restorative measure to keep your hair follicles at their strongest.
6. Grow Your Hair out by Brushing Gently
Vigorously brushing your hair can cause breakage - We all know that. That's why you simply must avoid brushing your hair when it's wet and opt for a wide tooth comb, instead, to comb through and work out those tangles in a manner than doesn't scream "hair damage" . Invest in a quality brush as well, to ensure both optimal styling results and stimulate blood circulation around your scalp.
7. Stick to Stress-Free Hair Styles
When waiting for your hair to grow out, stick to easy and fuss-free hair styles. Elaborate hairstyles can place undue stress on hair strands causing them to break. Avoid tight buns or ponytails and opt for loose braids or low ponytails.
8. Grow Your Hair out with Exercise
Exercise can apparently help with hair growth, which gives us all another great reason to finally start working out. It stimulates cell production, it gets blood pumping around the body and we all know that improved oxygen circulation around the scalp can help with both hair health and hair growth.
9. Eat a Healthy Diet
Our diet can have a direct impact not only on our wellbeing but our looks as well. This is very much the case when it comes to hair growth as well. A diet rich in protein and iron will help build your hair’s strength and encourage better growth.
10. Be Realistic when Growing Your Hair out
Hair grows at a fairly set rate, so be realistic when setting goals to grow out your hair. The process takes time and patience and determining a time-frame for you to reach your goals is a great way for you to plan the process.
If you’re looking to grow your hair out, hopefully these tips will help get you there. And remember -Waiting for your hair to grow out doesn’t have to be a painful process. What are your best tips for growing your hair out?

Steph: I was trying to grow mine out when I got bored with the color in early January. I went to a salon and asked for "small, subtle, natural-looking red and blonde highlights" (my hair is dark blonde to light brown.) There was some sort of BIG mistake and my hair turned orange! I was told I couldn't strip red/orange hair, so I had them dye a dark brown color over it to hide it. It ended up being exactly the opposite of what I had wanted (I wanted to go a little bit lighter and ended up a LOT darker!) so I cut it off into a bob a couple weeks ago just to get rid of that awful color. The stupid thing is, there's still a ton of dark brown color and only a couple inches of roots, so it still looks just as bad as it did before I cut it. I can't wait for it to just grow back! These tips will really help!
