as hair grows about half an inch per month.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Hairstylists suggest adding layers or bangs to ease awkward stages during the regrowth period.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Hair

beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Hairstyles and haircut trends may come and go, but one thing is for certain\u2014the battle of choosing to cut or keep your current length is never-ending. After seeing a celeb&#8217;s new shorter style of the moment, you may opt for a trendy, blunt mini bob, only to find yourself missing your longer look a few months later. That&#8217;s when the decision to grow out your hair is made. But as any of us who have left the salon chair with fewer inches up top know, this process can be a bit awkward.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> You may find that what used to be chic layers or a sleek blunt cut is now a shaggy or uneven look due to fast hair growth. Plus, your hair is not yet at the desired length, making it somewhat difficult to style. For details on managing the transitional phase, we spoke with hairstylists Antonio Gonzales and Ashley Gomila for the tips and tricks they give their clients.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"><strong>Read on for their advice on how to grow out a bob.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Antonio Gonzales is a hairstylist at NYC-based Orlo Salon.<\/li>\n<li>Ashley Gomila is a celebrity hairstylist based in Los Angeles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How Long Does it Take to Grow Out a Bob? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Depending on the desired length, it could take months to grow out a bob,&#8221; says Gomila. &#8220;Hair grows about a half inch per month. I always advise clients to take into consideration that within two months, you may only see one inch of hair growth.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Tips on How to Grow Out a Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Add Layers <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The first method Gonzalez offers to alter the classic bob is to gently remove the heavy corners of the bob\u2014adding in some layers\u2014while keeping the length as is. &#8220;This could be done in small increments rather than all at once, so the client doesn&#8217;t feel like they are sporting a shag,&#8221; says Gonzalez. &#8220;The result is more of a square-shaped cut that should be personalized to suit the individual&#8217;s facial structure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Get Bangs <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Another option is to add bangs if you didn&#8217;t have them or, if you did, grow them out. Gonzales tells us, &#8220;Bangs may be the trick to ease the pain of the in-between length. This may take at least three months to get to a point where you feel comfortable.&#8221; Consider your haircare routine and lifestyle beforehand, though\u2014styling bangs can be a high-maintenance process, depending on the style opted for.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Create a New Shape <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> It&#8217;s important to think of your new goal hairstyle, too. For example, if you&#8217;ve been sporting an A-line bob, and now want a softer look, Gonzales recommends altering the shape. &#8220;Start by even-ing off the longer sides in front and gently removing bulk that was created to give that stacked feel in the back. By lowering the shape in the back and lifting the length in the front, you are on the road to recovery,&#8221; he says. Similarly,\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Try Highlights <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Adding highlights can alter the perception of the shape\u2014no shears necessary.\u00a0&#8220;As your hair starts to grow, painting in a few highlights may be the way to go. This will help create the illusion of softness of any heavy areas of the previous cut,&#8221; says Gonzales.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Embrace Hair Accessories <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> During that in-between phase, you&#8217;ll probably find that quick and easy updos like a low bun, ponytail, or pulled-back bangs are your best friend. To elevate those looks, try adding some chic hair accessories like scrunchies, headbands, hairpins, barrettes, claw clips, and cuffs. Not only do these accessories look super cute, but they are also functional, holding back those layers that can&#8217;t quite reach your hair elastic.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Consider Extensions <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you&#8217;re tired of waiting for your hair to grow and want long lengths ASAP, extensions are your best bet. Professionally installed or\u00a0clip-in extensions\u00a0will do the job in practically no time at all. Plus, you can pick from a wide range of lengths, textures, and colors, allowing for a customized look.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Are There Any Bob Types That Are Easier to Grow Out? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Long bobs are an option to consider if you are concerned with how long it will take to grow out your hair again,&#8221; says Gomila, &#8220;It&#8217;s a good starting point to consider before taking off so much length and committing to a bob.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Start with a long bob, and if you like the style, you can always go for a shorter bob. If not, you&#8217;re already ahead of the curve for the grow-out process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"loc article-post-content\">\n<div id=\"beauty-breadcrumbs--chips_1-0\"

beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Hairstyles and haircut trends may come and go, but one thing is for certain\u2014the battle of choosing to cut or keep your current length is never-ending. After seeing a celeb&#8217;s new shorter style of the moment, you may opt for a trendy, blunt mini bob, only to find yourself missing your longer look a few months later. That&#8217;s when the decision to grow out your hair is made. But as any of us who have left the salon chair with fewer inches up top know, this process can be a bit awkward.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> You may find that what used to be chic layers or a sleek blunt cut is now a shaggy or uneven look due to fast hair growth. Plus, your hair is not yet at the desired length, making it somewhat difficult to style. For details on managing the transitional phase, we spoke with hairstylists Antonio Gonzales and Ashley Gomila for the tips and tricks they give their clients.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"><strong>Read on for their advice on how to grow out a bob.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Antonio Gonzales is a hairstylist at NYC-based Orlo Salon.<\/li>\n<li>Ashley Gomila is a celebrity hairstylist based in Los Angeles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How Long Does it Take to Grow Out a Bob? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Depending on the desired length, it could take months to grow out a bob,&#8221; says Gomila. &#8220;Hair grows about a half inch per month. I always advise clients to take into consideration that within two months, you may only see one inch of hair growth.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Tips on How to Grow Out a Bob <\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Add Layers <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The first method Gonzalez offers to alter the classic bob is to gently remove the heavy corners of the bob\u2014adding in some layers\u2014while keeping the length as is. &#8220;This could be done in small increments rather than all at once, so the client doesn&#8217;t feel like they are sporting a shag,&#8221; says Gonzalez. &#8220;The result is more of a square-shaped cut that should be personalized to suit the individual&#8217;s facial structure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Get Bangs <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Another option is to add bangs if you didn&#8217;t have them or, if you did, grow them out. Gonzales tells us, &#8220;Bangs may be the trick to ease the pain of the in-between length. This may take at least three months to get to a point where you feel comfortable.&#8221; Consider your haircare routine and lifestyle beforehand, though\u2014styling bangs can be a high-maintenance process, depending on the style opted for.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Create a New Shape <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> It&#8217;s important to think of your new goal hairstyle, too. For example, if you&#8217;ve been sporting an A-line bob, and now want a softer look, Gonzales recommends altering the shape. &#8220;Start by even-ing off the longer sides in front and gently removing bulk that was created to give that stacked feel in the back. By lowering the shape in the back and lifting the length in the front, you are on the road to recovery,&#8221; he says. Similarly,\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Try Highlights <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Adding highlights can alter the perception of the shape\u2014no shears necessary.\u00a0&#8220;As your hair starts to grow, painting in a few highlights may be the way to go. This will help create the illusion of softness of any heavy areas of the previous cut,&#8221; says Gonzales.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Embrace Hair Accessories <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_26-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> During that in-between phase, you&#8217;ll probably find that quick and easy updos like a low bun, ponytail, or pulled-back bangs are your best friend. To elevate those looks, try adding some chic hair accessories like scrunchies, headbands, hairpins, barrettes, claw clips, and cuffs. Not only do these accessories look super cute, but they are also functional, holding back those layers that can&#8217;t quite reach your hair elastic.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Consider Extensions <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you&#8217;re tired of waiting for your hair to grow and want long lengths ASAP, extensions are your best bet.
