3 Hairstyles for Awkward Length Hair

When you’re at that awkward hair length stage, the no brainer hair solution is to go either curled or .. well, that’s it. While I’m waiting for my hair to grow out to a length that I can actually work with, it’s been so difficult trying to do anything else to my hair. So today I’m working together with my friend and amazing makeup artist & hairstylist, Chelsea, (you guys may remember her from her amazing work on the decades tutorial) to bring you guys these three hairstyles that you can add to your repertoire while you’re at that awkward hair length!

Look 1:

This look is so sleek and strong. I always shy away from doing this look because of my huge forehead (fivehead) but I think having sleeked back hair is super sexy and chic. And not to mention it’s incredibly easy to achieve!

Look 2:

I can’t wait until my hair gets long enough for me to start braiding it! But until then .. I’m so excited I can rock this side braid. This bun is hard to achieve if you don’t have enough bobby pins, so make sure you use as many is necessary to secure your hair!

Look 3:

This was my favorite look. Thanks Chelsea! I used to tie my hair in a messy top knot all the time when I had longer hair, so I was super excited to find out I can still rock this hairstyle. Again .. bobby pins are your best friend when you’re doing this look!

And there you have it .. 3 hairstyles for the growing hair. Instagram tag me @chrisellelim with the hashtag #awkwardhairlength if you guys decide to do these hairstyles, I’d love to see!
