3. Experiment with Length
Clip-ins or faux bobs can be a great way to experiment with length and even color. For lighter shades you might prefer not to risk damaging your own hair so use a clip in*. Not only do they add color but they are a great way to add volume and length as well.
It can also be a nice way to go shorter without the long term repercussion of an actual haircut. Braid your actual hair underneath almost like you would for a sew-in and add the clips to that. This probably isn’t the best idea for long term use as it will inevitably cause hair damage, but it can be a fun new look for a couple of days. Another great option is the faux bob. A style for longer hair, just tuck your ends underneath and pin. It’s a quick an easy way to achieve the bob look, again, without the commitment.
4. Texture Change
Sounds weird, but what I mean is switch up the way you wear your hair on a regular basis. If you wear it straight? Try a fun braid out or twist out, maybe even some bantu knots. Wear it curly all the time? Grab some heat protectant* and straighten it out!
A different style can be just the change you need and in some cases it can even give your hair a much deserved break. If you’re feeling even more daring (and committed) try out some braids for a while. You can choose between lots of different styles and lengths.
5. Wigs*
There was a time where the mere mention of wigs* conjured up thoughts of grandmas and church aunts. Today, there are so many different, natural wig* options that you almost have no reason not to try them. Lace front wigs can provide full protection while also offering up a new style (double win). Try a 3/4 wig* for sew-in like blending. The textures, colors, and styles are endless so get out of that rut and for goodness sakes, have a little fun!

I usually would go for Senegalese twists when I get overwhelmed with my hair, but I think I will try these tips. Especially the color! Thinking about burnt auburn 🙂
