When my hair was shorter (mid-neck length) after I got it layered in October 2003, I had no choice but to wear it down. I would wear it in rollersets, sleek straight, and most of the time I would use those good ol' curling irons to flip up my layers.
It's so hard to find a style when you are suffering from the pains of growing out your hair.
It makes u tempted to cut your hair even more!
Just hang in there; the length will start to come
