the best way to grow your hair out
that's the topic of today's video
so there's a few things i want to go
over
that are very very important the first
one
is and i get a lot of questions about
this is do i get a haircut if i'm trying
to grow my hair out and the answer is
yes kind of if you are trying to grow
your hair out
and your ends are just dead
they're fried you've got a lot of split
ends your hair looks very
unbalanced it just is not laying right
but you're afraid
that whoever's cutting your hair may cut
too much
off well there's a few things that you
need to really tell that professional
and also make them aware of
because they can really easily mess up
what you're trying to accomplish while
growing your hair out so here's a
perfect example
of a haircut that
say you want to grow your hair to a much
longer
shape like a longer maybe older matthew
mcconaughey type look or something where
or adam driver like kylo ren type look
where it's a little
longer into here and the length goes
down in here and you know it's like
parted and
you know a good like maybe five to six
inches longer than what you currently
have
and say your hair is like this and
you're trying to grow it out well
what you need to explain to the
professional
is tell them right away i'm trying to
grow my hair out
do not cut that much off just really
skim the dead ends
and reshape it to help it grow
into the style i'm looking for and
that's where showing a photo
on your phone this little thing right
here is your best friend when it comes
to
finding images on you on google or
showing
the professional what you're looking for
or even do a screenshot
whatever it is say i'm trying to grow my
hair into this style
can you please shape it so it helps
grow helps my hair grow into that look
it may take a couple of months it may
take
a couple of weeks a year it all depends
but i know with my own clients if i'm
cutting someone's hair and they're
telling me they're trying to grow it out
i cut it into a shape
knowing that it's going to eliminate
those pain points and those challenges
as the hair gets longer for example
if your hair gets really bushy and thick
throughout the sides here
right but it's a little more finer on
top what you need to do is reverse that
where you're taking the weight and bulk
out of the sides instead of letting this
grow out and it looks really thick here
and a lot thinner on top here
you could do that by keeping the length
it just comes down to a simple technique
of removing weight
and that could be done with a razor it
could be done with thinning shears
it could easily be done a lot of it is
about precision and being very
knowledgeable
in what to do when it comes to hair
cutting
all right it's not as simple as just
taking up a take a scissor and a comb
and cut it and you're good to go
there's a lot of tricks and techniques
that can be done to help alter the shape
of your
haircut which also alters the shape of
your head and
and the the actual overall haircut
so if you are trying to grow your hair
out on top for example
sometimes it's better to just narrow
down the sides or say hey look
just skim the dead ends you're trying to
grow it even pull your hair up don't be
afraid to
use visual keys when you're talking to
someone
pull your hair up and say look you know
look at my ends are really really dead i
only want to cut off the very ends here
you know sometimes hairstylists or
barbers they get a little freaked out
when you tell them hey i'm trying to
grow my hair don't cut that much
they're they may not cut that or i've
seen situations where they cut twice as
much
as they're supposed to and it's really
frustrating that's where the
communication comes in
show them that you want to grow your
hair say hey look this is how long it is
i want to get it to where it's like way
up here and i want the sides to come
down
here use a lot of visuals
so that they can see that you want your
hair to go from here
down to here all right it's really
really important so another thing is
you know how often should you get your
hair cut if you're trying to grow it
well hair grows anywhere from you know
three quarters of an inch
to an inch a month depending on how fast
your hair grows and health how healthy
it is
so just take that into consideration all
right just do the simple math
it may take you know three months or
four months or five months
to get your hair to the length it wants
to so
another key thing to remember is that
the hair grows from the scalp it doesn't
grow from the ends
so when people say does trimming your
hair make your hair grow faster no
it just makes it look healthier as it's
growing out
the hair does not grow from the ends if
the ends are dead
that is what needs to be trimmed so if
you get your hair trimmed every say
two and a half two months or three
months and you're literally still
growing it and just skimming those ends
it's going to be very very helpful for
you now depending on what you do to your
hair
right if you're using a smoothing iron
all the time or curling iron or really
hot tools or damaging
products or lots of hairspray or things
that are really put a lot of stress on
your hair
the ends may become a bit dry
much sooner than you think so you may
have to go once a month
okay it all really depends on how you're
caring for your hair
you could stretch it out for four months
maybe five months of getting just the
ends trimmed
so to wrap this video up think about
the shape that you want right what kind
of style do you want how long do you
want it
how is the condition and the quality of
your hair texture
can you how long can you go without
getting a trim what type of shape are
you looking for
and how can you trim it and get it cut
in a way so it helps grow
out that look very very important it's
all about communication
and and telling the stylist what you're
looking for
so again they can narrow down certain
parts of the head shape
while growing out others and still
trimming it and i do it all the time
it's very very common
so if you want to grow your hair do it
don't be afraid to do it and just make
sure you're getting
the right process so thank you all so
