How to Grow your Hair Out - TheSalonGuy

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 much
