It is perfectly possible for you to go for a whole year without a haircut, by adopting a style that changes as it grows, but always in a pretty and becoming man­ner.

The style is one that achieves its beauty through simplicity of line and clean, shining hair and the know­ledge that hair grows half an inch a month. The original cut features a short straight pageboy with a very short bang. The bang is actually cut right to the hairline or about a quarter of an inch below.

Six weeks later the hair will have grown three-quarters of an inch. The bang can be cultivated into a longer straight bang and the ends into a slightly longer pageboy.

Three months after the original haircut the hair will have grown an inch and a half. Now is the opportunity to turn a fairly straight hairdo into a fairly curly one if you wish. The bang, which is now an inch and three-quarters, can be turned into a wavy bang. The ends can retain the pageboy contour or can be fluffed.

At the six-month mark the hair will have grown three inches all over the head. The wavy bang now moves to the side. The bottom hair can continue as a pageboy or with fluffy ends.

Between this point and the end of the year, the hair can be worn long and loose at the sides or it can be pulled back into a chignon, a pony tail or a cluster of curls. The former bang is brushed back to join the sides. By the end of your year without a haircut you have an entirely different hairdo from the one with which you started, and will have enjoyed the interest, the variety and the economy of letting it grow according to plan.
