Are you wondering how to grow out your hair? Change is good, and if you\u2019re ready for it, you should try a longer hairstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve decided to transition from a short haircut to a longer style, there are a few things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hair type:<\/strong> Not every style is suitable for every hair type. Many people struggle going from a low-maintenance buzz cut to a longer style that may need styling every day. Choose your ideal style with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/natural-hair\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=natural_hair&amp;utm_content=natural_hair_texture\">natural hair texture<\/a> in mind to cut down on styling time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Style goals: <\/strong>Choose a goal hairstyle that you and your barber can work toward. This way, you can strategize your hairstyle at each growth phase before your final long haircut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintenance preferences: <\/strong>Long hair generally takes more work to style than short hair. If you choose a high-maintenance cut but don\u2019t have the time to properly style it, you won\u2019t be happy with the results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll cover our top recommendations for men who are interested in growing their hair longer, so you know what to expect along your hair journey. When you\u2019re ready to start growing out your hair, get in touch with a <a href=\"https:\/\/styleseat.com\/m\/search\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=search&amp;utm_content=barber_near_you\">barber near you<\/a> for expert help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-talk-with-a-stylist-to-determine-your-hair-goals\"><strong>Talk with a stylist to determine your hair goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1561\" height=\"1107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip.webp\" alt=\"Bring photos of your hair goals to your barber so they can come up with a hair growth plan for you.\" class=\"wp-image-13858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip.webp 1561w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip-856x607.webp 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip-1140x808.webp 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip-768x545.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip-1536x1089.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip-600x425.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip-300x213.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-mens-hair-growth-tip-1024x726.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1561px) 100vw, 1561px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Short cuts tend to look similar across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/hair-textures\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=hair_textures&amp;utm_content=hair_textures\">hair textures<\/a>. As your hair grows, your texture will be more apparent. Not every long haircut will work for your hair texture, so it\u2019s important to look at lots of inspiration photos to get an idea of what might work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring these photos to your barber for their expert opinion. They\u2019ll have a better idea if your hair goals are realistic and can offer you suggestions for similar hairstyles that might work better for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your barber can also help you come up with a plan for your in-between styles. Especially if you\u2019re going for a drastically different look, you\u2019ll probably make a couple of pit stops at different looks along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cut-your-hair\"><strong>Cut your hair<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your hair growth journey with a trim. It might seem counterintuitive, but certain styles grow out more flattering if they\u2019re trimmed first, and you\u2019re more likely to get to your end goal if you enjoy the journey along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, this means cutting your hair to a uniform length. In other cases, it looks better to let the top grow out a bit longer and trim the sides and back a bit. Lucky for you, mullets are in right now, so you have more freedom to let your sides grow out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-for-regular-trims\"><strong>Go for regular trims<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip.webp\" alt=\"Get your hair trimmed every six to eight weeks to get rid of split ends and keep your hair looking healthy when you grow out your hair.\" class=\"wp-image-13866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip.webp 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip-856x607.webp 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip-1140x809.webp 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip-768x545.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip-1536x1090.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip-600x426.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip-300x213.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2-mens-hair-growth-tip-1024x727.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us want to skip out on trims when we\u2019re growing out our hair, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-often-should-you-get-haircut\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=how_often_haircut&amp;utm_content=regular_trims\">regular trims<\/a> are an important step to maintaining a longer haircut for men.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably didn\u2019t notice it with shorter hair, but medium and longer lengths will start having visible split ends. The result? The ends of your hair might look damaged or thinner than the rest of your hair. The longer you leave those split ends without trimming them, the more noticeable they\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule a trim every six to eight weeks. During these appointments your barber can tweak your look so you\u2019re happy throughout the process of growing out your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-switch-up-your-wash-regimen\"><strong>Switch up your wash regimen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When, how, and what you use to wash your hair can make a big difference in how your hair looks, especially as you\u2019re trying out a new length. Your current routine might keep your buzz cut in line but leave your hair looking flat once it grows out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix it up as your hair grows longer. You might find that you need to wash your hair more often or use a gentler shampoo to guarantee a good hair day. Pick up a variety of travel size shampoos to experiment with your wash routine. When in doubt, ask your barber if they have any recommendations they think would work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-consider-supplements\"><strong>Consider supplements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip.webp\" alt=\"When you grow out your hair, consult your doctor to see if you have any vitamin deficiencies.\" class=\"wp-image-13867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip.webp 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip-856x607.webp 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip-1140x809.webp 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip-768x545.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip-1536x1090.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip-600x426.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip-300x213.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3-mens-hair-growth-tip-1024x727.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no quick fix to hair growth, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to build healthier habits. Though it may take a while to see results, your hair will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foods such as fish, nuts, and eggs have essential nutrients that are important for a healthy hair cycle. Consult your doctor before taking any supplements, but vitamins B12 and D, biotin, riboflavin, and iron supplements might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/foods-for-hair-growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help your hair grow<\/a>. However, it\u2019s most important to have a balanced diet to promote healthy hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing some thinning, over-the-counter or prescribed topical medications can help. Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Rogaine, is a common topical medication people use to counteract hair loss. Scientists don\u2019t know exactly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6691938\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">why minoxidil works<\/a>, but they believe it might kick-start hair growth cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-experiment-with-styling\"><strong>Experiment with styling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re rocking a new hair length, your first time styling it is when things get interesting. Depending on how much time you\u2019d like to invest in styling your hair, experiment with air drying, blow-drying, and different styling techniques to see what works for you. Unsure of where to start? Try these tips to handle common hair concerns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Frizz: <\/strong>Finish off your hair routine with a drop or two of hair oil to reduce flyaways and smooth frizz.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heat damage: <\/strong>Use a heat protectant on damp hair before heat styling. These products usually come in a spray or leave-in lotion formula.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of volume: <\/strong>Use texturizing spray or volumizing mousse and blow dry your hair with your head hanging upside down to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-to-add-volume-to-hair\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=add_volume&amp;utm_content=maximize_volume\">maximize volume<\/a> at the root.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hair tangles: <\/strong>Gently comb through your hair while it\u2019s still damp with a wide tooth comb or your fingers. Start at the ends of your hair and slowly work your way to the root. Leave-in conditioner can help this process if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dull hair: <\/strong>Leave the conditioner in your hair for as long as possible in the shower. Try tying it up and rinsing it out with cold water at the end of your shower routine to maximize hair shine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dandruff: <\/strong>Try an over-the-counter dandruff-fighting shampoo and use a silicone tool to gently exfoliate your scalp while shampooing. Consider seeing a dermatologist if the problem persists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oily roots: <\/strong>Touch up your hair in between washes with a dry shampoo to mattify and revitalize your hair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting your hair braided can also ease you into new lengths. Because braids generally keep your hair out of your face, you\u2019ll be less tempted to chop it before you reach your final hair goal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/cornrow-braids-for-men\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=cornrows_for_men&amp;utm_content=give-cornrows-a-try\">Give cornrows a try<\/a> to help protect your hair while you grow it out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@styleseat\/video\/7062494719951064366\" data-video-id=\"7062494719951064366\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@styleseat\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@styleseat?refer=embed\">@styleseat<\/a> <p>Mesmerized by these intricate braids by @the_hairchanic. \u2728 <a title=\"styleseat\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/styleseat?refer=embed\">#styleseat<\/a> <a title=\"styleseatpro\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/styleseatpro?refer=embed\">#styleseatpro<\/a> <a title=\"mensbraids\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/mensbraids?refer=embed\">#mensbraids<\/a> <a title=\"braidstutorial\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/braidstutorial?refer=embed\">#braidstutorial<\/a> <a title=\"braidstyles\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/braidstyles?refer=embed\">#braidstyles<\/a> <a title=\"BbStyleFearlessly\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/BbStyleFearlessly?refer=embed\">#BbStyleFearlessly<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c woman x promiscuous by altegomusic - ALT\u00c9GO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/woman-x-promiscuous-by-altegomusic-7044948941690997510?refer=embed\">\u266c woman x promiscuous by altegomusic &#8211; ALT\u00c9GO<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-try-hair-accessories\"><strong>Try hair accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you start growing out your hair, you can start playing around with different styles.
