While growing out your tresses can be frustrating, it can still be done. Here's a hair care guide on how to go from short or mid-length to long and flowing without going nuts.

(1) If you don't already have one, get a starter haircut that doesn't need trims every few weeks to look its best. Simple and versatile cuts that can be pulled up, clipped back, or secured in a ponytail will give you more options on those days when your hair feels like an overgrown garden.

(2) Damaged hair needs special attention before it starts to grow. Unhealthy hair grows more slowly and can break off, defeating your purpose. Go to a stylist for correction so you'll be starting with a clean slate

(3) Consider cutting bangs. They're hot right now and a good hair care guide is to keep them professionally shaped and trimmed. Well-groomed bangs can make the rest of your hair look better.

(4) Adding some color can give your hair a lift and distract you from how long it's taking to grow out.

(5) Get a deep conditioning treatment to make your locks shiny and healthy. Even overgrown hair can look good when it's in great condition.

(6) A good hair care guide is to avoid using heated appliances on your hair. Blow-dryers and flat irons will invariably compromise its health. Instead, comb hair into place after washing, and allow it to air dry.

(7) While hair extensions can help you look good while your hair grows out, they'll damage your hair in the long run and make it look thinner.

(8) Be patient. Growing long hair doesn't happen overnight. You'll have to be committed to achieving your goal. On the days you're tempted to give up, remember that even with a new cut, you'll still have bad hair days.

(9) One hair care guide suggests prenatal vitamins as an aid to faster hair growth. There are women who swear by them.

(10) Wear cute baseball caps to divert attention from your hair.

(11) Don't get your hair trimmed unless the ends are damaged. The more you trim, the longer your hair will take to grow out.

(12) If you use lots of spray and it's building up, mix baking soda with shampoo to remove it. Hairspray buildup can make your hair look dull and dry.

(13) Toss your head upside down and brush your hair gently for about 50-100 strokes. This will massage the scalp and distribute natural oils throughout the hair. Brushing can make your hair look healthy and thick.

The hardest part of growing your hair long is the waiting. Unless it's very short, you can usually grow a mane of long and flowing hair within six to twelve months. It helps to remember that you'll only have to go through it once.
