Freaking out about my hair for prom!?

I cut my hair above my shoulders back in August [big mistake]. It is currently grown about half an inch above my nipples. For prom, I was wanting to do my hair in all curls %26amp; wear it down. I'm afraid that my hair is going to be super short if I do that. So what can I do to make my hair longer by prom which is on the 21st of this month. I dont want extensions to be sewed in my hair. That is too costly for me. Any suggestions?

Hey!! don't stress, its all good!! Okay, I did the same thing as you three years ago just beofre prom, where I cut my hair short and instantly regretted it! But, I went to the hairdresser and she curled it and it still looked great. Because your hair is sitting just above your chest, I'd say you easily have enough hair to have it curled. Also, my hairdresser told me that shorter hair tends to look far better when curled, as the curls stay firm all night, but with long hair they droop and lose their shape, so count yourself lucky!! It will be fine with the amount of hair you have, you don't need extensions at all- trust me! I recommend that if you're still nervous, go to the hairdresser and ask her to do a test run on your hair, so that you can actually see how the curls look. It will be all fine!! and have fun at prom- it's always such a blast :)

If you did softer curls, it wouldn't look too short...

Maybe do loose curls with a 1" to 1 1/2" curling iron. This will give you a nice wave but also keep your hair looking long. If your hair is layered, pull your top layers up this will give the look that your hair is longer.

Well, first things first. What sort of dress are you wearing? If its a spaghetti strap, halter, or tube, best thing is to wear your hair up. Show off the shoulders. You can always wear it down with the curls but to go with a nice up-do with curls if you'd like will look very nice. BUT once again it matters on what dress you're wearing.

Extensions or a wig are the only way to go. Hair will only grow 1/2 an inch in a months time. There are these pony tail extensions. You wrap your hair in a bun, then attach these over the hair with a clip or a drawstring. They come in a variety of length and styles.

If you are worried about it being to short with curls, try curling it at home right now to see if you like the length it comes out at.

My hair is about the same length and when I curl it (with a 1 1/2 inch barrel), it sits on my shoulders. If you do bigger, looser curls it'll be longer.
