It Is Easy to Grow Out Your Length If You Have a Plan
Todd Suttles, Noland Suttles Salon
The number one, most misunderstood fact of all hair cutting history is the belief that if you want your hair to grow, you should stop cutting it. And here is why: hair is a fiber, it unravels on the end. The best analogy I can use is that of a string. We all know when you cut a blunt end on the string and give it a short period of wear & tear, the end begins to unravel. When this happens with hair, we call it split ends. There is NOTHING that will repair, or prevent split ends. Split ends is just what hair does. If you purchased a product that promises to repair split ends, you have been had.
What you don't realize is that as the hair splits on the end, small microscopic pieces of it break off. I am sure you have seen a person that "won't cut her hair because she wants it to get longer". For years she has been not cutting, and it stays at the same length getting fuzzier as each year passes. It is breaking off the ends as quickly as it grows; net length accumulation is ZERO!
Q. Why does my hair feel lighter after a hair cut? -It is not the weight of the hair that has been removed, it is the absence of tiny little tangles between hairs on the end caused by split ends getting stuck together.
Q. Why does my hair grow faster right after I get a haircut? -It does not. What is actually happening is you have stopped the microscopic breakage of split ends and are accumulating length.
Q. So then, How DO I grow my hair longer? -That requires three things: 1) never cut more than it has grown since the last cut. 2) cut frequently enough that the split ends are on the tip ends, not up into the hair shaft; 3) find a stylist who knows how to transition your style as best as possible while it grows all the while remembering and following the long term plan.

Last Thursday we talked about Cheryl's Keratin Smoothing service that stylist Julie Moore did for Cheryl; how important that was in creating a manageable style for her. After all, it really doesn't matter how great you look when you leave the salon if you can't replicate the look yourself over the next 29 days outside the salon! I always ask my clients if they are getting compliments from strangers; that lets me know how they are doing with styling their look by themselves.
The next thing I wanted to address with Cheryl was the form, or shape, of her style. There are always 3 balance points for every client, at a minimum; short, medium and long. For Cheryl, I wanted to take her to the medium length balance point. The long hair she came to me with certainly was NOT in balance; it was dragging her down. We could have corrected that and left it long, but I did not feel that long would serve her well given her busy lifestyle with 3 kids. The medium balance point would be easier to maintain which always means looking good a greater percentage of the time. I think the way this medium length choice fits her is clearly evident in the photo above (click to enlarge). Next week I will explain my hair color choices and strategy that I selected for Cheryl.
I knew the instant I started talking to Cheryl what I wanted to do with her hair- at least in a general way. Cheryl is the Mom of 3 young boys. One of the first things out of her mouth was that fact. She is busy; all day, every day. As you can see in the before picture, she has lots of hair. That was problem one. You can also see that she does not have much time to spend on herself, thus long hair, easily grabbed and pulled back. Cheryl's hair style had evolved as a response to her lifestyle. It was not an expression of who she is but more a default result from what she does.
The very first thing I had to deliver was a style that would be as easy to manage as her default "leave long and pull back" style. Cheryl's hair texture when left to dry on its own was frizzy, fuzzy with uneven curl and wave. Left long, she was able to style it quickly by pulling as she dried with a flat brush; but it never really looked styled, just smaller and less fuzzy. One of our stylists, Julie Moore, performed our Keratin Smoothing Process on Cheryl's hair. We jokingly call this service the anti-perm amongst ourselves at Noland Suttles. This was just what Cheryl needed to give HER control of her hair. We had to make styling her hair easier, not harder because this was the critical criteria given the demands her life currently makes on her time.
Once Cheryl's primary obstacle had been overcome, the door to a larger selection of cut and color options was opened much wider. More about those choices in future posts...
All five of our campers were asked to write a little bit about her personal experience during the 8 weeks of Beauty Boot Camp. We will be posting what each of them has written, Kim today and then one each over the next four Thursdays.
I know for me, and I am certain my other two partners, Lynn Ross (Institut' DERMed) and Amy Neal (Gym of Buckhead), Beauty Boot Camp has been almost a re-dedication to the values of my work that first captured me in 1977 when I knew I had found what I would do with the rest of my life: it's about people. To have lived a life that introduced me to so many people with whom I could connect on such a deep personal level, and hopefully impact in a positive manner is an incomprehensible gift. Beauty Boot Camp has been a tremendous inspiration for me and a subtle reminder that life is not a journey of "work". It is a journey that can be filled with gratitude. I am grateful to our five campers and understand they have given us much more than we gave them. -T. Suttles
Lynn Ross and Amy Neal will also share their feelings about Beauty Boot Camp with you over the next Thursdays as we bring you each camper's story.
