It’s no secret that bobs are going to be huge in 2022. The latest styles are reinvented to add oomph to your look and if you’re all about being trendy then we’re sure you’ve thought of getting one this season. However, chopping off your hair isn’t as easy as it sounds. It’s a dramatic transition that you should definitely think over before diving into.
Getting the haircut isn’t the hard part, the real test only presents itself when you decide to grow it out. Realistically speaking, bob haircuts can be fairly easy to grow out, provided you take the right measures before making the cut. So, if you do want to regrow your length after experimenting with a bob, here’s what you need to know.
Have The Talk
Before choosing a bob haircut, it is super important to discuss things with your stylist. Show them your hair and ask them if your shortlisted haircuts will work for your texture. Mention that you intend on growing it out so that the stylist can then customise a cut that will best suit your needs. If you make it clear to your stylist that you wish to grow out your bob gradually, he can also map out cuts and trims that you can experiment with during its course to help grow out your lengths in style.
How Long Does It Take To Grow?
Typically, you can get a six month wear time from your initial bob haircut. After that period, you will slowly move into the mid-length territory. As the bob grows out, it’ll depend on how it was cut initially to determine how it looks at the new length. Usually, the cut will soften and look more lived in after half a year. Make sure to wait until you’re well set within mid-length locks before considering going back to the salon for a trim.
The Growth & Maintenance Trick
Wait until your hair reaches your collarbone until you get your maintenance cut. When you finally make your appointment, ask your stylist to maintain your length and only add some loose layers to shape your mane. This will help your locks look stylish and well-groomed as they grow.
Cuts That Are Easy To Grow Out
Steer clear from sharp and asymmetrical bobs like the one that Rihanna debuted in her music video for Umbrella. They may look edgy but are a huge commitment to maintain. Instead, opt for some of the trending bobs of 2022 like the layered bob, the short-cropped shag, or the shattered bob. All of these feature numerous layers and no sharp silhouettes which make them more versatile, low maintenance and wearable.
