I am trying to grow out my hair to chin length (it is currently almost mid-ear length). My hair stylist told me to go at least 2 months between hair cuts. I have thin hair but a lot of it, especially on the top and back of my head. So after about 3 weeks of it being cut, it looks very flat.

Hi. I am a guy. I started to grow my hair out in grade 10, which was closer to 20 years ago than I would like to admit, and realized something. My wife is realizing this as she is trying to grow it out too. When growing your hair out, realize that for a period it is going to look bad. I have curl hair so I looked like a q-tip until I got into university and I could tie it back. So style it how you can but it is going to look awful until you get it styled or it gets to the length you want.

Kind of sucks doesn't it?
