If you want to finally be rid of your bowl cut or grow an all-natural ponytail that skims your butt while in self-isolation, there are a few things you can do to help the process along
Low ponytails help. Photo: Heather Hazzan Really long hair is beautiful and all, but it takes a lot of effort. Either you shell out for removable fake hair, or you undertake the painstaking process of growing your own out. The latter is more cost-effective, but requires a lot of willpower and patience — both of which are often in short supply.
Every eight weeks or so is the general benchmark, but it doesn’t need to be a strict, recurring appointment. Just keep an eye on your ends, especially if you have a coarse texture, or heat-style or color often, and make sure your stylist is only taking off what’s necessary when you see them — ask for a dusting !

But Keep Conditioning Davines Love Smoothing Conditioner $14 A hair-growth journey is an excellent excuse to treat yourself to a quality leave-in conditioner, an Audrey Hepburn–approved pre-poo conditioner, a luxurious hair mask, or just an upgrade to your usual conditioner, like the extra-nourishing formula above.

That means cutting down on hair-drying, flat-ironing, curling, chemically straightening, dyeing, teasing, baking it in the sun, and yes, even crimping. The less you alter it and mess with it, the more it can truly thrive.

Chill Out Burg admits this is probably the hardest tip to follow, but if you want your hair to grow, you need to calm the eff down. “Your body knows that your hair isn’t essential to maintaining your life, like your heart, lungs, and brain are, so when your body is under stress, it will move any available nutrients and energy to those essential organs and away from your hair.
$36 at Sephora Buy 13. Eat Some Gummies If You Want Hum Nutrition Hair Sweet Hair $25 Vitamin gummies taste delicious and they probably won’t hurt , but don’t put all your faith in them, either. “Hair-growth gummies, or any hair-growth supplement for that matter, have the potential to work, provided there is a nutritional need,” Burg says. So if you’re extremely stressed, having trouble chilling out, or on a restrictive diet of sorts, popping some supplements may make a noticeable difference.
