I got a terrible haircut. How do I make it appear longer and/or grow faster?

Ack. So I donated 10 inches of my hair to locks of love today. And now i've gone from gorgeous wavy hair to the little girlwith the bob in atonement, only flippier. It looks really awful and it's way too short. Is there anything that will make it grow faster? What can I do while it's growing to give it the illusion of being longer?

Thanks. :(I got a terrible haircut. How do I make it appear longer and/or grow faster?
There are some things you can do to make your hair grow faster,Everybody has a maximum rate of hair growth,if your body is not in good health,your hair will only grow at the minimum rate,here are the necessary steps:



1.Don't wash your hair everyday,washing your hair everyday puts unnecessary stress on the hair,the more you wash,the more your hair dries out and breaks,wash your hair twice a week with an emu oil moisturizing shampoo %26amp; conditioner.It is very important that you find an emu oil shampoo %26amp; conditioner because emu oil gets rid of scalp inflamation, scalp inflamation denies the hair follicles the necessary blood flow it needs in order to grow fast.

2.Keep an oil moisturizer in your hair,it's very important to keep some kind of oil in your hair because wind and dust in the air will make your hair dry and brittle and easier to break,my favorite oil moisturizer is Cantu Shea Butter oil moisturizer,it is kinda greasy,but you can put more or less depending on how you style your hair on that day,find an oil moisturizer that works for you.



3.Take care of your hair from the inside,take a multi-vitamin with minerals and amino acids/proteins daily,there are plenty of great vitamins out there,you just have to find what works for you,have a look at these:

4.Don't brush your brush hair,brushing rips and tears at the hair folicle,use a comb with wide teeth instead,and wear your hair up whenever possible,your clothing,especially cotton clothing can cause splits ends.Every time you wear your hair down, you are exposing it to environmental damage. It is exposed to the air, which will dry it out. Wind will cause tangles, which in turn causes more handling and more damage. Your hair will rub against your clothes which dries it out even further.



5.Massage your scalp,this will increase blood flow to the hair folicles,I love to hang off of the sofa or my bed and massage my oil moisturizer into my scalp.Sleep on a satin pillowcase to prevent damage from tossing and turning,If you have fine, thin hair, stay away from volumizing and thickening shampoos,they dry out your hair,stay away from hair accessories with metal in them,that will definitely rip and tear your hair,keep heat styling to at a minimum,no more than twice a week,if you must do this more than twice a week,find a good deep conditioning treatment,like this one:

Drink lots of water and eats plenty vegetables!I got a terrible haircut. How do I make it appear longer and/or grow faster?
You did a good thing, and all good things have a consequence. Good Job though.
Basically people say to keep it away from heat, and trim split ends. But despite that, too make it look longer you can straighten it.
easy. All you need to do is straighten it, it makes your hair sometimes up to 2 inches longer if u have really thick or wavy hair. Also jello has gelatin in it which makes your hair and nails grow faster
sry but try headbands and clips and gel to play with it and give it more zing while u wait a little while
wear a hat
try to use different shampoos and condittioner it worked for me! everyday it will make it grow faster BUT DONT STRAIGHTEN IT ALOT IT WILL DAMAGE IT!!! oh and try clip in exstensions
well if ur hair is curly then straighten it if its straight then still straighten it it will make it look longer and if that does'nt work out where a cute girly hat or a headband,and wat u can also do is put acceseries in ur hair.Thats wat we gurls do best.
im sorry the same thing happened to me =\ i cut my hair and got layers so now it looks relee ugly nd weird nd it is rlee hard to do my hair b/c the layers are so short and my hair(w/o layers) is long i jus wash my hair evry other day, brush it and its getitn longer(w/o me evn doin nythin lol) dont do nythin stupid like extensions jus be patient nd find some cute new hairstyles that u can do w/ your cut dont straighten it too much straightening it like once in a while is okay but striahgtening too much can damge your hair keep it healthy and eat plent of vitamins and drink water!!=) hope this helps!
You can straighten it or curl it just get curling shampoo , curling condition , curling serum and scruch your hair
If you dont mind wearing hair extensions then i would reccomend that u get a sew in...Its when they french braid your hair and then sew the extensions into the braids...Its good because you wont have to mess with your own hair by putting heat on it and stuff like that cause that would cause it to grow slower and since your hair will be french braided itll grow fast





But if you do it then make sure that u get a good brand of hair extensions that will last so that u can keep getting it redone
the fastest way to make it grow faster is to keep it very healthy. use heat styling tools sparingly, and don't wash your hair every day. I would also recommend using a hair growth shampoo. and regular trimming also helps hair grow faster. Straight hair probably looks the longest, so maybe using a flat iron would help too.
To make it seem longer, insert hair extensions.

To make it grow faster, keep getting the ends of your hair once split-ends show up(:

straightening also gives it 2 inches extra of length.



Good Luck. And at least those beautiful locks of hair went to a good cause (;

Keep your head up!
I donated my hair to locks of love once too!

That was like 3 years ago and my hair is STILL short.

I heard that eating gelatin helps though.

Also you can straighten your hair.

Good for you, honey.

You could buy extensions... but maintenance and cost are factors

I would buy an excellent gel (the kind that makes your hair look wet) and slick my hair back for that saucy wet look

It will hide the shortness and imperfections until you can grow a little back.

Note* it probably looks OK, but the shock of not seeing your long hair has shocked you
