And just like the Jenner star, we all love to change their hairstyle from time to time. A new hairstyle can make you feel special and give you a new look for each season.

    Hairstyles for Growing out Short Hair

    Taking just minutes to put in, clip in hair extensions are the perfect disguise and you can finally wave goodbye to months of hair frustration. Here are just a few of our favourite hairstyles for growing out your short hair. 

     

    1. All Over

    Growing out Short HairFor a straight-cut bob, just add one or two layers of hair extensions at the base of your head, underneath your top layer of hair. These can be all one length, or graduated, depending on the look you’re after.

     

    So, you’ve decided on you one-length bob, how are you going to style it? Go for an off-centre parting for an edgy but sultry look. You can even experiment with colour and try a colourful ombre or simply team you bob with any of the latest trends for a statement look. 

     

    2. Just the Front

    Growing Out Your Short HairFor a super-choppy, interesting graduated bob, try popping your extensions in at the front only. This leaves your sharp back layers exposed and leaves you free to create loads of volume all over.

     

    You can even transform your look and go for an elegant fringe. The introduction of a fringe when you’re trying out such a short style makes all the difference – a sassy side fringe turns it sexy and cheeky, whereas a full fringe creates an innocent impression. A softly feathered fringe adds a softness to a very demure cut, making it easy to effortlessly grow out your short hair in style. 

     

    3. Asymmetric

     Growing out Short HairIf you’ve been rocking a crop for a while, then chances are you’re the sort of lady who likes to look a little different – and this style is a head turner! Whilst your short back and sides grow out, whack some extensions in the top part of your hair, add a dramatic side fringe, and vamp it up! This style looks great with the short bits tucked behind your ear, and it eliminates the problem of awkward sides.

     

    If you go slightly longer at the front than at the back, it means that the cut will naturally frames your features and perfect if you have a round faced shape as it elongates your face. 

     

    4. Curls

Channel your inner Marilyn Monroe and tuck one side behind your ear to turn your bob into a picture of sophistication, or perhaps go for a soft, wavy fringe to keep your style sweet and easy-going.
    If your short hair has more of a rock chick vibe, add delicate and quite romantic waves at the front for a flirty but powerful look. 

     

    Don’t be scared to take the chop – it’s always worth trying, and with the help of extensions, growing it out is a breeze so you can confidently snip your hair.
