Im fed up with my hair. I have layered bob, cut short at the back, no fringe. Layered. The longest bits at the front reaching just about chin level, the sides are just below ears. I'd love to be able to tie my hair back, or put up in messy do. Have you ever grown your hair from a short haircut so that it was all shoulder length? How long did it take? Did you get to trimmed as you went along? How do you deal with that horrible in between stage ?

To grow your hair long you need patience. Remember also that your hair is renewing all the time as it grows so you have different lengths. Having frizzy curly hair like I have makes it more noticeable.Hair grows at roughly half an inch a month. I have very long hair, for me it is so easy to manage. If it’s hot I take it up, leave down if it’s cold. I have it trimmed 2 monthly,wash weekly and condition,have a conditioning treatment monthly. Have fine hair but plenty of it.You need to find out what works for you, ask your hairdresser for advice.
