Hate the idea of layers because it means more length to chop off? Try a trendy one-length bob. It has as much shape as any layered look, especially when it's parted in the center and the ends are slightly curled under.

Sleek Bangs and Spiked Back
Haircuts that are longer in the front and shorter in the back are gorgeous, but problems can arise when we want to grow them out. Some crop their hair until it's all the same length then start growing it out. Don't want to cut off those precious millimeters? Try playing around with different textures with the lengths you have. Keep the front sleek but spike the back to give the appearance of longer locks. The Sexy Hair Style Sexy Hair Hard Up Hard Holding Gel, $17.95, keeps strands in position.

Side Sweep
Don't forget about bangs when growing out hair because they can make or break a look. Wispy side-swept bangs can be blended into almost any hairstyle, no matter how short. Ensure the back is as sleek as the front with a tapered finish.
